Chapter 171 - Asking For A Favor (3)
Of course, Xi Qian was aware of Su Xiaofei's current predicament. It only made her feel repulsive towards Mo Yuchen, now that she knew that he had only agreed to their engagement because he needed a safety net in case he encountered another mishap at the Golden Star Entertainment.
She also didn't like how he previously treated Feifei, as if she was a nuisance in his life. Su Xiaofei might be overbearing at times, but Xi Qian didn't think her best friend deserved to be looked down on by Mo Yuchen. She wasn't a random bug on the ground!
Thankfully, Su Xiaofei had finally regained her logical mind and wasn't as foolish as before. She had stopped talking about Mo Yuchen as if she had also forgotten his existence in his life, which was a good thing for Xi Qian.
So if Feifei decided to pursue him again, obviously, Xi Qian would vehemently go against it. There was no way she would allow Mo Yuchen to humiliate and hurt her best friend ever again.
Just the thought of it was enough to make her blood boil with anger. Perhaps Su Xiaofei was right. She needed to learn a few moves if she wanted to beat Mo Yuchen in the future. Right, she should print Mo Yuchen's picture and place it on the punching bag, so she wouldn't lose her motivation to train!
"Why are you saying this?" She asked Lu Qingfeng with narrowed eyes. "You think Feifei is stupid enough to return to Mo Yuchen?"
"No. That's not what I meant, Xi Qian. Feifei has already made her intention to break her ties with him clear, but Mo Yuchen has yet to answer it. I think that he isn't willing to let go of her yet. He might use underhanded tricks to force Feifei's hand."
"That's ridiculous." Xi Qian snorted. "Isn't Mo Yuchen a prideful man? What would people say if they know he's clinging to Feifei who is obviously not into him anymore? He should be the one who must feel shame and not Feifei!"
"Xi Qian, you are overestimating him. Indeed, Mo Yuchen is a prideful person, but he's also an ambitious one. People who are desperate for something could resort to using unorthodox methods." Lu Qingfeng countered her.
Xi Qian fell silent at that, as she knew she couldn't refute what he had just said. The world of the upper circle was filled with schemes and traps. She knew this. Su Xiaofei was lucky that Aunty Qing was able to protect her somehow.
Look, even Ye Mingyu was contesting her rights to become the eldest Miss Su, but what would happen to Su Xiaofei if she gets involved with the Mo family? The Mo family was obviously larger than the Su family and Xi Qian had no doubt that they also had a fair share of family feud like the rest of the wealthy families.
"Then what do you want me to do?" She glanced at Lu Qingfeng's face. Although she had known this young man for years now, it was still hard for Xi Qian to predict what he was even thinking.
"Just keep an eye on Feifei and make sure that Mo Yuchen couldn't trick her. I trust Feifei, but not Mo Yuchen." Lu Qingfeng said. His view on Mo Yuchen hadn't changed and only worsened after his second rebirth.
When he met Mo Yuchen at the hospital where Su Xiaofei was confined a few weeks ago, it had been hard for Lu Qingfeng not to rush forward and plant his fists on the bastard's face.
"I feel the same." Xi Qian nodded in agreement. The first time she met Mo Yuchen, she knew that he was bad news for Feifei. She really couldn't see why her best friend had become enamored with that horrible man.
"I'm not doing this for your sake, just so you know." She harrumphed and turned her head away from him. Lu Qingfeng might be agreeable and wasn't as much of a pain in the ass as he was in the past, but she had yet to see his resolve to make Feifei happy and safe.
If Lu Qingfeng was able to give Su Xiaofei the happiness she deserved, who was Xi Qian to get in between the two? Now that the wind was changing, perhaps she could only wait and see how these changes would affect Su Xiaofei in the future.
"Time waits for no one. You may never know what could happen in the future. If you really like Feifei, you have to exert more effort to prove yourself, but I'm not helping you!" She added.
Lu Qingfeng smirked and shook his head. He knew Xi Qian would agree with him. He trusted Su Xiaofei when she said that Mo Yuchen wasn't in her heart anymore, but he couldn't just lower his guard when it came to Mo Yuchen.
After all, that man was the one responsible for Su Xiaofei's death in his previous lives. So how could he let the same thing befall Su Xiaofei this time? Lu Qingfeng didn't think he would be lucky to get another chance at rebirth for the third time just to change Su Xiaofei's fate.
As they finished their conversation, Su Xiaofei returned from the powder room. She blinked at her two companions and wondered if something had happened while she was gone. Xi Qian's head was turned towards the window, while Lu Qingfeng was silently enjoying his coffee.
Did they fight while she was gone? No. Su Xiaofei didn't think so. The atmosphere between the two wasn't the same as before, the air was as thick as butter and the tension so sharp one could cut through it.
"Did I miss something?" She asked Lu Qingfeng once she took a seat next to Xi Qian.
"Not that I know of." The young man replied nonchalantly before eyeing Xi Qian across him.
"What?" Xi Qian blinked at her best friend. "Who cares about him?"
