Novel Full Chapter 109 - No One Is Completely Innocent (1)
Three days had passed and the students of Qiying City Academy had somewhat moved on from the gossip about Ye Mingyu and Su Xiaofei. Ye Mingyu hadn't sought Su Xiaofei since that day outside the court, nor did she make any effort to talk to her.
Instead, Su Xiaofei thought that the young woman was trying to avoid her at all costs, hoping that the talk about them would lessen and be forgotten by everyone. However, unbeknownst to Ye Mingyu, during their lunch break, Su Xiaofei, along with Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng, had always spotted her running towards her meeting place with Cai Lin, bringing a lunchbox with her.
"Ye Mingyu knows no shame." Xi Qian said as she casually ate her food while her gaze followed Ye Mingyu's retreating form.
"Qian, in this world, no one is perfectly clean. Everyone will more or less have some stains on them. No one is completely innocent, but it is amusing to see Ye Mingyu betraying Feng Xue'er like this." Su Xiaofei chuckled as she drank from her water bottle.
"And to think that Feng Xue'er was bragging that she would make Ye Mingyu this year's Fairy Queen… Aiya, I can't imagine how angry she would be once she found out about Ye Mingyu and Cai Lin. Do you think they are already dating behind Feng Xu'er's back?" Xi Qian asked curiously.
Su Xiaofei shrugged. She didn't care whether the two were dating or not, but knowing Ye Mingyu, she must be stringing Cai Lin to do her bidding. Just like what she had done with Yun Xiang in the past, Ye Mingyu would continue leading Cai Lin on, without putting her friendship with Feng Xue'er in jeopardy.
"You're going to attend the founding ball?" Su Xiaofei heard Lu Qingfeng ask.
"En." She nodded. "I can't possibly miss seeing the dress that Feng Xue'er has been bragging about." She grinned mischievously at him.
Now that she was assured that Ye Mingyu had met Cai Lin, Su Xiaofei didn't need to do anything because Ye Mingyu and Feng Xue'er would ruin their so-called friendship with their own hands.
"Aren't you going to attend?" Su Xiaofei asked in return. In her past life, Lu Qingfeng hated attending parties and events like this.
"I think I should. Grandpa said I should try to socialize more to understand other people." Lu Qingfeng replied.
"Well, Gramps is right." Su Xiaofei nodded as she leaned and rested her head on Lu Qingfeng's arm. She really liked that he was taller than her, because she wouldn't be able to do this if he wasn't.
When Su Xiaofei returned to their classroom with Xi Qian, Feng Xue'er stood right in front of her desk as soon as she took a seat.
"Su Xiaofei, I heard that you're going to attend the founding ball this year. It's just too bad that you would never be the Fairy Queen that night." The girl mocked Su Xiaofei, but the latter remained calm as if Feng Xue'er didn't bother her at all.
In Su Xiaofei's eyes, the eighteen-year-old girl was nothing but a small fish who hadn't experienced enough grievances in the real world. Feng Xue'er thought that as long as her father could keep his high-ranking position in the government and as long as she was engaged to Cai Lin, she wouldn't have to taste bitterness in the future.
Su Xiaofei lifted her eyes and met Feng Xue'er gaze. Upon taking a close look at Feng Xue'er eyes, Su Xiaofei could swear that she saw a hint of jealousy flicker in the young woman's eyes. So it turned out that Feng Xue'er was being rude to her from the very beginning because she was envious of her.
The young woman in front of her was about 158 cm and if she was standing next to Ye Mingyu, people wouldn't be able to see or notice her presence. Feng Xue'er dislike other girls that were more beautiful and richer than her and being grouped in the same class with Su Xiaofei, who was arrogant and naughty at the same time, obviously made Feng Xue'er hate her even more.
Years after they graduated from high school, she and Ye Mingyu had debuted in show business at the same time, but the latter had been ahead of Su Xiaofei when it came to networking and status as a fashion icon.
After Cai Lin's confession to Ye Mingyu, he still married Feng Xue'er despite his obsession with his wife's best friend.
Su Xiaofei snickered at the thought of how shameless and foolish the couple was, not knowing that they were being used and taken advantage of by Ye Mingyu from the very beginning.
However, this time, Su Xiaofei would make sure that they wouldn't be able to continue behaving as they pleased towards her.
"Fairy Queen? Who says I'm interested in being the Fairy Queen?" Su Xiaofei rested her chin on the back of her hand, her long hair cascading smoothly over her shoulder as she met Feng Xue'er's mocking gaze.
Feng Xue'er was stunned by Su Xiaofei's answer. This wasn't what she'd been expecting from this arrogant heiress.
"W-what?" She stuttered, her mind trying to figure out why Su Xiaofei was acting so differently these days.
Su Xiaofei remained calm and didn't bother to hide the amusement in her eyes.
"You heard me clear the first time, Classmate Feng. Actually, I'm really curious how you would make Ye Mingyu the Fairy Queen. And since she also has a beau who could take her to the ball, I'm really looking forward to the foundation ball, Classmate Feng."
Feng Xue'er frowned. Since when did Ye Mingyu get a boyfriend? They'd been together most of the time out of school, and yet Ye Mingyu never mentioned that she was seeing someone lately.
"Heh, at least someone would take Ye Mingyu at the ball, unlike you who have to rely on Lu Qingfeng's help to save face.." Feng Xue'er taunted Su Xiaofei.
