Novel Full Chapter 185 - No Regrets (1)
Yun Qingrong didn't miss how her Feifei stiffened next to her. She thought that her daughter was just a little nervous facing the crowd. However, when she followed her daughter's sight, she immediately understood what caused her uneasiness.
The Mo family had just arrived, and they had yet to greet them. She was the one who told Su Xiaofei not to seek trouble with the Mo family, but it was clear that her Feifei was having a hard time right now.
Yun Qingrong wondered what had happened between her and Mo Yuchen that made her act like this. Her Feifei didn't tell her anything about her and Mo Yuchen, and she could only surmise that the two had a bad fight, which led to her daughter walking away from their engagement.
Still, as the hosts of the banquet, they needed to give the Mo family some face. Yun Qingrong greeted Elder Mo, Madam Mo and the two younger men standing behind them. One was awfully familiar to Su Xiaofei, since he was the man she had married in the past, while the younger man was his younger brother, the one who Su Xiaofei didn't have a chance to get acquainted with, Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan looked more approachable than his older brother and when he saw Su Xiaofei, his interest piqued as he had naturally heard of his brother's beautiful fiancée. He had heard news about her before, but meeting her personally had put those rumors to shame. She was more beautiful in person and didn't look as horrible as the rumors perceived her to be.
The longer Mo Yuan looked at Su Xiaofei, the more he couldn't understand why his elder brother despised this young woman. Or was Mo Yuchen just pretending not to like her at all? He glanced at his older brother, and he saw Mo Yuchen staring at Su Xiaofei with a pair of indifferent eyes. It was really hard to understand this brother of his sometimes.
Initially, he wasn't planning to return to the country and had decided to finish his studies abroad without bothering about his family inheritance. However, his mother was quite persistent, and after careful deliberation, he decided to return home. It was just that he didn't expect to attend a social gathering anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng had long spotted Mo Yuchen and the rest of his family before Su Xiaofei did. Obviously, he instantly became alert. Since he was accompanying his grandfather, Lu Qingfeng couldn't just leave his side and go to rescue Su Xiaofei.
At that moment, Yun Qingrong and Su Xiaofei finally reached the Mo family and greeted them politely, their voices neither warm nor cold.
Su Xiaofei remained silent and lowered her gaze, not bothering to acknowledge Mo Yuchen's presence. If it was in the past, she would have gone and chattered nonstop next to him, trying to gain his attention.
Elder Mo glanced at Su Xiaofei and smiled slightly. He hadn't seen the young lady for a long time, but it was clear that she had changed dramatically since the last time he'd seen her.
"Xiao Fei, it's been a while." He told the young lady.
It was only then that Su Xiaofei lifted her head and regarded him with an awkward smile.
"Yes, it has. I hope Elder Mo is feeling better now." She replied politely. Of all the members of the Mo family, this old man was the only one who had been treating her with kindness. It was just that after a year of her marriage with Mo Yuchen, he passed away from a chronic illness, which he'd been enduring for a few years prior to his death.
The old man nodded. He really wanted Su Xiaofei to become his granddaughter, but he was also aware that Mo Yuchen was treating her coldly for some unknown reason. Hence, he wasn't surprised that Su Xiaofei had given up with his grandson's attitude.
If only Mo Yuchen had treated her well, there would still be a chance for him to have Su Xiaofei as his granddaughter. Alas, since Su Xiaofei had already given up, this old man wouldn't dare to force her to stay with his stupid grandson.
He thought that they really suited each other when they were younger and so, he didn't think that it was a bad idea when Su Haoran came to propose marriage between the two. With Su Xiaofei's temper, the old man thought she would be able to move Mo Yuchen's heart.
Mo Yuchen excused himself from his family, as he saw his other acquaintances in the crowd, refusing to acknowledge or greet Su Xiaofei, not that she was interested in him anyway.
'Good riddance.' She thought, her eyes trying to find Lu Qingfeng in the crowd. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw him.
Lu Qingfeng raised a slender brow at her when she waved a hand excitedly at him.
"Mama, is it alright if I go and see Xiao Feng?" She asked her mother, not wanting to talk to any member of the Mo family.
Yun Qingrong saw the smile on her daughter's face, so how could she deny her?
"It's fine. Go ahead." She waved her hand, which made the smile on Su Xiaofei's face wider.
Su Xiaofei didn't waste her time and immediately turned to seek Lu Qingfeng.
Seeing that she was heading his way, Lu Qingfeng excused himself from his grandfather and their partner and met her midway.
"How was it? I thought you're going to talk to Mo Yuchen as soon as you see him." Lu Qingfeng commented, giving her a drink to calm her nerves.
Su Xiaofei scoffed and mouthed a quick thanks to him before answering his question.
"And why would I do such a thing? He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore." She replied. At least Matriarch Mo wasn't here to cause her trouble.. That insane old woman really took pleasure in her misfortune before.
