Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 165 - Utterly Humiliated (1)

Since the two were going to play one-on-one using half the basketball court, it was easier for the audience to see what was happening. The winning score was set to 21 points and they had the coach of the middle school's basketball team monitoring as their referee. The man was already in his late forties, and he had a strict and unfriendly image.

"Have you decided who goes first?" He asked the two young men in front of him as he held the ball with one arm, resting it against his hips.

"I will let Junior Lu take it first." Cai Lin said smugly, while Lu Qingfeng remained unperturbed by his opponent's mocking tone.

Cai Lin slightly frowned as he hadn't expected that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't be affected. It felt like even if he used all his might, it would end up like punching a fluffy cotton. His heart was filled with an indescribable anger. No wonder Lu Qingfeng could get along with that witch, Su Xiaofei. They really were cut from the same cloth!

Initially, he intended to use Lu Qingfeng to vent his frustration for not being able to protect Ye Mingyu during the founding ball, but he never thought that Lu Qingfeng would simply act like the total iceberg prince everyone deemed him to be.

What had clearly been intended as a move to demean Lu Qingfeng had somehow, with one look from his cold and indifferent eyes, reversed the situation between them as Lu Qingfeng appeared to be a person of high status and intelligence, looking down on Cai Lin.

Cai Lin couldn't bear the thought and swore in his heart to teach this arrogant young man a lesson. He couldn't afford to lose, knowing that he was also defending Ye Mingyu's honor.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei yawned behind her hand and watched the situation on the court. She saw that Lu Qingfeng was listening intently to his coach as the man relayed the rules of their game, while Cai Lin was glaring daggers at him.

"I wonder what kind of trick Ye Mingyu used on Cai Lin. He's definitely head over heels for that woman." Su Xiaofei heard Xi Qian comment next to her. "I should have hit her face hard during our game and knocked out some of her teeth."

Su Xiaofei smiled at that and shook her head amusedly.

"I didn't know that you could be this fierce, Qian." She bumped her shoulder against her best friend's.

Xi Qian scoffed and swept her gaze over the other side of the court. She spotted Ye Mingyu seated with her classmates with a downcast expression, while Feng Xue'er and Feng Yumeng were standing near the doors of the court with haughty expressions on their faces, as if they couldn't wait to watch Cai Lin make a fool of himself.

"I guess everyone is here. The more, the merrier." She told Su Xiaofei. "I don't understand why Feng Xue'er and Ye Mingyu are fighting for Cai Lin. He's not really that good, to be honest."

While it's true that Cai Lin was popular as the captain of their high school basketball team, there were still students who would only frown whenever his name was mentioned. He had adopted a high and mighty air, and always had a hostile tone when speaking with others, as if he was better than everyone else.

He was the complete opposite of the young Lu Qingfeng, in a sense that although he looked cold and preferred to be left alone, when he was talking to others, he would always speak to them with courtesy, especially to his elders.

"Love can really make one blind and foolish." Su Xiaofei smirked. Recalling how she had been so foolish in the past for Mo Yuchen was enough to make her feel ashamed of herself.

"Then I would rather not fall in love and lose my logical mind." Xi Qian harrumphed in return.

Su Xiaofei inwardly sighed. She couldn't tell Xi Qian that she was worrying about nothing. If she and Li Xiran meet each other again in this lifetime, then Su Xiaofei wouldn't be worried about her best friend in the future.

As for Ye Mingyu and Feng Xue'er's short-lived friendship…. Well, what else could she say? Human relations were always fragile. She only needed to plant a seed of doubt in Feng Xue'er's heart and lead Ye Mingyu towards Cai Lin. Ye Mingyu's betrayal would naturally cause Feng Xue'er to deem the latter as a thorn she would need to extract in the future.

While Su Xiaofei was talking to Xi Qian, Ye Mingyu's hold on her water bottle tightened. She simply sat in silence next to her classmates, waiting for the game to start. However, she occasionally glanced at Su Xiaofei's direction with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

However, what Ye Mingyu hadn't anticipated was that at the very moment she looked at Su Xiaofei, Su Xiaofei would turn her head slightly as she sensed someone looking at her with a murderous intent.

As their eyes met, Ye Mingyu saw that Su Xiaofei's lips curved slightly at her. Even though Su Xiaofei was smiling, she couldn't understand why she felt a cold shiver running down her spine.

When she looked again, Su Xiaofei had already turned her head away and was conversing lowly with Xi Qian, giggling about something the latter had said to her, as if she couldn't be bothered with Ye Mingyu or the fact that Lu Qingfeng and Cai Lin were going to compete to defend their honors.

"Such a white lily. Ye Mingyu is excellent at pretending." Xi Qian snorted coldly. People must be blind if they can't see that Ye Mingyu was nothing but a sham.

"And how did you surmise this, milady?"

"Well, it's clear that she is hiding a heinous heart behind that pretty face of hers!"

"Would that mean she and I are the same?" Su Xiaofei questioned her.

Xi Qian was momentarily stunned upon hearing it. She looked at her best friend with wide eyes
