Rebirth of the Villainess: Young Master Lu’s Wicked Wife

Su Xiaofei had just finished doing her homework with Xi Qian when she received a message from Yun Xiang, requesting to see her after school. She stared at the message for a moment and took a deep breath.

'Good grief. Did he really need to show up? I guess it wouldn't hurt to see him this time.' She sighed inwardly. She wasn't one to enjoy her enemies' company and would prefer to keep their encounter short.

"What's wrong, Feifei? Do you still have something left to do?" Xi Qian asked when she noticed that Su Xiaofei wasn't moving from her seat to leave the classroom with her.

"Ah, Brother Xiang just messaged me to meet him. I suppose he wanted to talk to me about the request I made during my last visit." Su Xiaofei replied.

"Then, will you be fine on your own?" Xi Qian asked, knowing that Su Xiaofei had no one to accompany her since she and Lu Qingfreng were busy these days.

Su Xiaofei smiled and picked up her school bag. She would just need to make sure that her meeting with Yun Xiang would be short, as she intended to return home soon.

"What's to worry about, Qian? Brother Xiang is my mother's nephew. Why do I need to be wary of him?"

"Well, you've only met him recently." Her best friend gave it a good thought. Xi Qian knew that Yun Xiang was her Aunty Qing's nephew, but there was something about the man that was off in her opinion.

It was like she could feel that Yun Xiang had something towards Su Xiaofei, but she just couldn't explain it. Xi Qian only hoped that she was just overthinking and the man wouldn't pose a threat towards her best in the future.

"But, I'm not comfortable leaving you alone with him." She stated. It wouldn't hurt to remind Feifei to be careful of people she was acquainted with, whether it was a relative or family.

Look, even Su Haoran, Feifei's father, was indifferent towards her. Xi Qian was a person who had lost her faith in familial ties a long time ago, considering the kind of parents she had. In fact, she trusted Su Xiaofei and Yun Qingrong more than her own family.

It wasn't like Su Xiaofei wanted to be left in his company. She would rather spend her free time trying to annoy Lu Qingfeng than spend her day with Yun Xiang. She still couldn't forget the enmity she felt towards the man.

"I'll be fine." She would need to establish a connection and build her own network that could be useful for her in the future, and it didn't matter where the help would come from. "Let's go then, else you would be late."

As for Yun Xiang's debt, well, there's nothing she could do about him in the meantime, other than being amicable with him since he was part of the Yun family.

Su Xiaofei agreed to meet him in front of the school gates. With Lu Qingfeng busy preparing for middle school inter school basketball competition and Xi Qian preoccupied with her part-time work, she was always left to her devices after school.

Unlike them, she had nothing serious to do, so she used her spare time catching up with the lessons she wasn't able to comprehend before.

When Su Xiaofei reached the school gates, she wasn't surprised to see a black car waiting for her. She saw Yun Xiang leaning against the driver's door, patiently waiting for her arrival. His face lit up the moment he spotted Su Xiaofei leaving the school premises with Xi Qian, who immediately bid goodbye after giving him a nod in greeting.

"Xiao Fei!" He raised a hand to get her attention, but she had already spotted him even before he saw her.

"Brother Xiang." She gave him a curt nod, which made Yun Xiang uncomfortable, as if Su Xiaofei was keeping him at arm's length.

He couldn't understand. Even if she was only adopted by his Aunty Qing, she was still family. However, it seemed like Su Xiaofei was still not considering him as a relative. Was it because the Yun family was intimidating?

Not that he could blame her. The Yun family was lacking female members, so it was no wonder that when his Aunty Qing was born, the family had doted on her like a treasure. However, with Su Xiaofei, it was only natural for the Yun family to have some reservations about her.

"Brother Xiang, what brings you here?" Su Xiaofei asked, although she had already suspected that he came here to pass her another invitation to visit the Yun Estate.

"Ah, you see, my grandfather wants to invite you again this weekend. Would you be able to come and visit us?" He asked straightforwardly.

Su Xiaofei hummed and rubbed her chin.

"We have a founding ball on Saturday and I will need to discuss it with Mama before I can agree." She replied.

"Actually, we're extending our invitation to Aunty Qing this time. Grandpa and my uncles want to meet her."

"Oh?" Su Xiaofei exclaimed as she raised a slender brow. So the old man was now willing to swallow his pride and welcome her mother home?

"I know. I'm also excited to see this reunion." Yun Xiang scratched his head and looked at Su Xiaofei with a slight blush on his face.

"Alright, I will tell my mother. I'm sure she would be thrilled once she heard the news." She slightly nodded her head in agreement, which made Yun Xiang smile.

At least seeing her being agreeable and gentle like this felt like he was getting closer to her now. Yun Xiang hoped that their relationship would grow, as he felt at ease knowing that she was about to be part of their family.

As they were conversing right outside the academy, it was only natural for them to gain attention, including from Ye Mingyu, who wondered who the man was.
