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

Three days later, Bluemedia Entertainment released an announcement, welcoming Qin Muyao as their newest talent. It was still unknown how Bluemedia was able to recruit the young actor, but most had no doubt that they were involved in the recent issue that surfaced in various social media sites.

Bluemedia hadn't released their opinion over the issues regarding their newest artist, but Qin Muyao's name became the talk of the town, as most were surprised to see him able to overcome the scandal Jiang Li had started against him.

Ever since the article about Jiang Li's cheating surfaced, the young woman hadn't been seen nor heard by anyone. By now, many netizens had come forward and shared their encounters with Jiang Li and her other lovers from the previous months, only fuelling the fire.

The next day, it was Qin Muyao who released a statement through his new agency. He thanked everyone who had stood up for and believed in him during the crisis he was facing earlier and promised to do better. He also apologized to the people he'd inconvenienced because of the issue, but he didn't make any comments regarding Jiang Li and her affairs with other men.

Most of all, Qin Muyao didn't forget to thank his new manager and Bluemedia for giving him another chance to prove himself.

As Xi Qian scrolled through her social media feed, she sighed next to Su Xiaofei.

"I kinda pity Qin Muyao. It wasn't surprising to hear a woman being neglected by her lover once she falls pregnant, but it's rare to hear of a man being involved in paternity fraud. Feifei, did Aunty Qing help him?"

Su Xiaofei chuckled and pierced her sliced cake with a fork. Xi Qian still had no idea that it was her who was behind Jiang Li's recent scandal.

At the moment, they were waiting for Qiao Yuhan's arrival at Hazel Brew Cafe, as the Qiao family had just come back to Qiying City to meet Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng at the same time. Su Xiaofei hadn't expected that Lu Qingfeng was able to inform Qiao Fengying so fast that she was caught off guard when she heard her little brother's news that they were coming to see her and Lu Qingfeng.

"You can say that. It's a pity that Qin Muyao didn't want to sue her for her deception, though. He's being too kind." Su Xiaofei answered Xi Qian's question. She made a mental note to ask Qin Muyao to make a birthday greeting video for Xi Qian's birthday when it's time.

"Eh? But why? What Jiang Li did to him is unforgivable! He almost lost everything because of her false accusation!" Xi Qian was a fan of Qin Muyao, and she had been following his TV series and latest movies.

She had asked Qin Muyao if he wanted help in suing Jiang Li and demand a compensation from her, but he declined, which was a little stupid in Su Xiaofei's opinion. If she was in Qin Muyao's shoes, she would sue Jiang Li for fraud and claim as much money as she could from that shameless woman.

Alas, Qin Muyao said that it was enough for him to know that Jiang Li had lost all her credibility and her name was forever blackened by her cheating affairs. No matter what she does, people wouldn't easily forget how she tried to ruin someone's life by her false accusation.

"Feifei, do you think he still has some feelings for her?" Xi Qian asked as she gave it a thought.

"I doubt that it's love he harbors for her." Su Xiaofei shrugged. "But Qian, this issue would forever be ingrained in him. Mama told me that we always hold a kind of pain in our hearts that won't go away no matter what. We just learn to live with it."

"That's true." Xi Qian hummed in agreement and took a sip from her milkshake. "Qin Muyao should probably focus on work for now and avoid dating until he's ready. You know, Feifei, I read somewhere that the part of our brain that is in charge of decision-making would reach its peak at twenty-five. Maybe we should wait until we turn twenty-five before considering settling down."

"Is that so?" It was Su Xiaofei's first time hearing about it. Anyway, in her previous life, she remained stupid after reaching the age of twenty-five. She doubted if what Xi Qian said made sense at all.

"En. In fact, a recent research found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain's rational part. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdala. This is the emotional part." Xi Qian excitedly explained.

"In teens' brains, the connections between the emotional part of the brain and the decision-making center are still developing—and not always at the same rate. That's why when teens have overwhelming emotional input, they can't explain what they were thinking later. They weren't thinking as much as they were feeling."

"Urgh, Qian. You should spare me the scientific terms." Su Xiaofei complained to her best friend.

"What terms, Fei Jie?"

A familiar voice reached their ears and Su Xiaofei lit up the moment she saw Qiao Yuhan. He was scowling a little as he held Snowbell in his arms before taking a seat next to her beloved Fei Jie.

"What's wrong, Xiao Han? Did your parents leave you on your own again?" Xi Qian was the one who questioned the young boy.

"No. I'm upset because of Snowbell." The boy murmured as he glared at the white, fat cat on his lap.

Su Xiaofei laughed behind her hand and patted Qiao Yuhan's head gently.

"What did he do this time?" She asked.

"Wuuu… Fei Jie, Qian Jie, Snowbell ate the goldfish.. What do I do now?" Qiao Yuhan cried pitifully, but he couldn't really blame Snowbell for his loss.
