Chapter 122 - The Infamous Ye Mingyu (2)
Since Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian had already done their part and played at one game for the intrams, they didn't need to follow the other activities and could laze around as the games continued on the court.
The talk about Ye Mingyu's team being beaten by Xi Qian and Su Xiaofei's team had once again roused the curiosity of the other students about the transfer student who had become the main topic around the academy for weeks now.
Some say that Ye Mingyu was just trying to hype herself, to gather more attention towards her, while others think that she was just dumb, trying to provoke Su Xiaofei who was clearly not interested in getting involved with her father's other daughter.
Things like these had been circulating around the campus, and there were also rumors that Su Xiaofei had been waiting for some time to emerge.
"Have you heard the news? Ye Mingyu was spotted on a date with Cai Lin. Isn't he her best friend's boyfriend? Someone spotted them the other day shopping at the mall, hand in hand."
"Ha. Wouldn't that just prove that Ye Mingyu is exactly like her mother? Cai Lin is engaged to her best friend, Feng Xue'er, but she was seducing him in secret."
Xi Qian listened to the gossip around them while Su Xiaofei was groaning, trying to solve a math problem she couldn't quite figure out. She had been trying to solve it for the third time now, and Xi Qian had just shown her another way to get the correct answer.
"Feng Xue'er must be regretting helping Ye Mingyu now. She befriended her and helped Ye Mingyu as soon as she found out that she was your half sister. Now, Ye Mingyu claimed that her meeting with Cai Lin was purely coincidental. Although, I don't think Feng Xue'er would believe her when there are photos of her and Cai Lin holding each other, walking together circulating all over the school forum." Xi Qian murmured next to her best friend, while they were inside the library.
Su Xiaofei tapped the end of her pencil over her paper and sighed.
"Feng Xue'er won't believe her. Cai Lin is her bottom line." She told her best friend.
Xi Qian turned her head to Su Xiaofei in surprise.
"How do you know, Feifei? Cai Lin and Feng Xue'er are rarely seen together on campus." She didn't know that Su Xiaofei paid that much attention towards Feng Xue'er for her to understand that arrogant woman.
Su Xiaofei only smiled at her best friend and resumed working on her paper. How can she not know? In her past life, Feng Xue'er made sure that everyone would know that she was Cai Lin's fiancée, and they were to wed in the future. However, the foolish woman wasn't even aware that the heart of the man she claimed to love was already given to her own best friend, Ye Mingyu.
When Feng Xue'er accused her of trying to seduce Mo Yuchen, getting between him and Ye Mingyu, Su Xiaofei wanted to laugh at Feng Xue'er's foolishness. However, this time, Su Xiaofei intended to force Feng Xue'er to see her so-called best friend's face.
"Let them be, Qian. Their friendship is none of our concern. But just so you know, in the future, when you get a boyfriend, the only reason you would spot him with me is because we're planning to prank you." Su Xiaofei grinned, her eyes holding an unconcealed amusement on her eyes.
Xi Qian huffed and bumped her shoulder with Su Xiaofei's.
"Feifei really knows how to bully me. No wonder people keep saying you're a villainess." She teased back.
"Do you think I'm like a real villainess?" Su Xiaofei asked her. Now that Xi Qian had brought it up, she realized that she had never asked Xi Qian why she befriended her when most of their peers hated her ever since they were younger.
"Villainess, my ass." Xi Qian's words were really crass and straightforward, but Su Xiaofei never cared about it.
"Those people who hate you must be lacking something you have in themselves. Girls hate you because you are too beautiful, and you get most of the boys' attention when you are around. As for those pompous young masters, I know they hate your guts and don't like it when you ignore their presence when they try to hit on you…"
"What did you say? When they try to hit on me? Me?" Su Xiaofei blinked. While it's true that she was aware of how beautiful her appearance was, it made her wonder if it was her attitude that prevented other men from courting her.
Xi Qian stared at her, speechless. Was her best friend really clueless of how attractive she was?
"Uhm, Feifei, you never wondered why no one tried to court you or confess to you?" She tested the waters, wanting to see how much Su Xiaofei was aware of.
Su Xiaofei shook her head. "No. I thought it was because they don't like my attitude? And if they are seeking me, it's because they need something from me and not because they like me."
Xi Qian ran both of her hands over her face. Okay, Feifei knew she was pretty, but she thought her bad reputation was casting a dark shadow on herself, but that wasn't really the case.
No matter how arrogant and haughty Su Xiaofei was, there would still be some men who would find her attractive. Also, add to the fact that she used to have an unhealthy obsession with Mo Yuchen in the past, she saw no other man in her eyes but him.
Now that Feifei had obviously changed her ways and attitude, Xi Qian had begun getting cornered by some of their male schoolmates, asking if Feifei was free to date now or if they could get her number through her.. It was obvious that they were seeking her, because death was what awaited to them if they choose to seek the little tyrant instead.
