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

The Yun family was one of Liaoshu city's four prominent families. They were relatively lowkey and independent, and they rarely made an appearance in public and social gatherings. However, now that one of the Yun siblings was known to own an entertainment company, it only proved that they could easily dabble in different fields and not limited to military affairs alone.

However, it was also known that the Yun family possessed intelligence networks around the world and were definitely many times stronger than what they showed on the surface. This was exactly why Su Xiaofei had used the family to gather intelligence about Su Haoran's misconducts and asked Yun Xiang to investigate Si Xiqian's missing younger sister.

As the oldest elder and head of the Yun family, Old General Yun's birthday was held with great importance. The Yun family actually didn't like to hold big gatherings, but they knew socializing would help to maintain their connection with the others, as that would guarantee much needed resources for the family to continue to flourish in the future.

It was no wonder that when the doors of the Yun estate were opened, a large group of guests arrived even before the banquet was scheduled to start. The majority of them were seniors who were acquainted with General Yun.

Su Xiaofei felt that she was a little out of place as most of the guests were middle-aged and seniors that were trying to curry favor with the old man and her mother. Other guests, who had come to greet her, were just curious to see her, since they heard that the Yun family had just gained a new granddaughter.

"I hope I didn't come too late. Grandpa and I had a meeting with a partner before coming here." Lu Qingfeng announced his arrival to this beautiful young miss who was seated alone on a couch, clearly rubbing her temple in annoyance. He would have arrived earlier if he and his grandfather didn't have any prior commitments. Plus, the trip to Liaoshu city took two hours from Qiying City.

The moment Su Xiaofei heard Lu Qingfeng's voice, she almost shouted for joy at having a companion today. She didn't know how long she could endure dealing with other men, who were shamelessly eyeing her as if she wasn't the granddaughter of the birthday celebrant.

Lu Qingfeng blinked and gave her a good look. Today, she was wearing a purple and black evening dress by Butterfly Chrysalis. He was certain that she had changed her favorite color from the usual bloody red and black color she used to sport in her previous life.

"How is it? How do I look?" Su Xiaofei asked when she noticed that he was checking her out.

"Hmm, you look stunning as always. Purple suits you well, but I thought that you'd get a look with red color." 

Purple was a solemn and noble color, and not many young women could wear such a color because it could easily make one look more mature than her actual age. But on Su Xiaofei, the dark purple only made her pale skin attractive, and her eyes more prominent and dazzling than usual. Even when she was seated lazily like this on the couch, it gave her an air of nobility and importance.

"I still like red, but not that much anymore." Su Xiaofei admitted, not mentioning that it was also because purple and red were the direct opposites of each other.

Purple snatched the magnificence of the grandiose facade of the red, while unabashedly opposing the authority. It was Su Xiaofei's way of reminding herself not to make the same mistakes she had done in her previous life.

"You don't look bad yourself." She grinned at Lu Qingfeng and patted the space next to her, so he could take a seat.

"Oh? When have you ever seen me in a not-so-dashing state?" He smirked in return.

Su Xiaofei wanted to say that she had previously seen him in his undressed state before, but bit her inner cheek to stop herself, as those memories were from when she had turned into a ghost after her death. Although the one she had seen was the adult Lu Qingfeng, it's still inappropriate for her to think about his body.

"I don't know." She shrugged instead. "Maybe in the future, I'll be able to see it."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes laughed at her as he shook his head.

"You will have plenty of chances if you become Madam Lu. Your 100 million is also within reach."

"Ah, Xiao Feng, tempting me like this. How can you be so cruel? I will definitely not marry you for money. I won't! This one doesn't dare. I don't want to be called a cradle robber."

Although she knew that Lu Qingfeng was certainly not joking and truly wanted to marry her, she didn't want to be a slut who only knew how to sell herself for money. However, wasn't it weird for a young man like him to try to hit on someone like her?

Their elders were busy receiving other guests and respective partners that came today, leaving Su Xiaofei in Lu Qingfeng's company. As hours passed, Su Xiaofei saw guests ranging from different industries and marvelled at how many people had come to greet the old man. While some of them had left immediately after offering their respect and gifts, and a brief chat, only a few intended to stay for the banquet.

Before the evening banquet began, Su Xiaofei briefly left Lu Qingfeng's side to help her mother with the reception. As a beautiful young woman standing next to Yun Qingrong, it was only natural that Su Xiaofei became the center of everyone's attention.

Su Xiaofei was used to being ogled or stared at, given her occupation as an actress in her previous life. However, the moment she spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, the smile on her face slightly faltered.. Her eyes briefly met Mo Yuchen's.
