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

While Ye Mingyu still couldn't get over her hatred towards Su Xiaofei, Su Xiaofei hadn't paid much attention towards her and pushed her out of her mind. With the school year approaching its end fast, she was now spending most of her time helping her mother with the preparation for the filming of the "The Poisonous Concubine", and resuming her attendance in the new recruits classes.

However, it was clear to these recruits that she wasn't just merely someone the VP tried to poach to join Bluemedia. Even Li Jing and Fan Jian were starting to doubt Su Xiaofei's identity, as the young woman was frequently seen leaving the executives' offices lately.

"There's no doubt that she has a strong backing. If not, she wouldn't be so confident to miss so many of our classes and only attend whenever she wants to." One of the new recruits named Yan Fanxing commented, before shooting Xiao Rufeng a glance.

"And Xiao Rufeng looks close to her. She must be thinking that she could also receive similar perks because she's friends with Xiao Fei."

Her companion scoffed next to her and gave Xiao Rufeng a nasty look. Xiao Rufeng was talking with Su Xiaofei and was ignoring the others who were obviously looking their way. While it's true that Su Xiaofei's face was enough to make them her backdrop, Xiao Rufeng's looks weren't falling far behind her.

Seeing them getting along with each other had made the others despise Xiao Rufeng because of it. The more they saw them together, the more they were reminded that they couldn't outshine them.

As Yan Fanxing and her friend talked about them, Su Xiaofei suddenly snapped her head and looked straight towards their direction with a meaningful look. Both girls stiffened and were forced to lower their heads, not understanding why they suddenly felt shivers run down their spine.

They couldn't believe that Xiao Fei was able to intimidate them with a mere look. Her age was almost the same as theirs, but she already had this maturity, as if she had experienced more in life than they ever had.

"Xiao Fei, what's wrong?" Xiao Rufeng asked when she noticed that Su Xiaofei was distracted and was looking somewhere else.

Su Xiaofei snapped out of her daze and turned her head to face Xiao Rufeng. She was aware that she couldn't hide her identity for too long, now that Qin Muyao and Tang Liyan were already signed with her.

"Nothing that you should worry about. How's your injury?" She asked in return, not wanting Xiao Rufeng to know that she was already aware of the conflict among the new recruits.

"I feel better now. Please extend my thanks to Miss Xi." Xiao Rufeng replied. She still felt indebted to Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian that day. However, she also didn't want to involve Xiao Fei in her problem with the other recruits, not knowing her real identity.

As the class reached its end, Fan Jian left the room, leaving the rest of the artists behind. The other recruits took this time to corner Su Xiaofei to question her about her absence for the past weeks.

Su Xiaofei remained calm, while Xiao Rufeng gritted her teeth behind her. She knew that these people had been speaking nonsense about Xiao Fei whenever she wasn't around, and she hated them for it. She had once gotten into an argument because of it, but didn't inform Su Xiaofei.

"I've been busy preparing for my entrance exam." Su Xiaofei replied with a smile, pretending that she wasn't aware of their intention with this probing.

"Aren't you planning to become a celebrity?" Another one asked.

"That's something I have no interest in. Is there a reason why you are asking me this?" She raised a slender brow, catching them off guard. They didn't expect that Su Xiaofei would dare to question them back.

"Ah! We are just wondering what has been keeping you busy these past weeks. We haven't seen you in a while."

"Then wouldn't it be a waste of your time to attend classes if you aren't planning to become a celebrity?" Yan Fanxing mustered courage and voiced her curiosity.

Su Xiaofei smirked and looked at her and her companion, which made Yan Fanxing uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Miss Yan, must be curious why I'm still here. Like I said, I'm not interested in becoming a star, instead, I'm planning to cultivate one. The reason I participated in these classes is to make an observation."

Her words shocked everyone, especially Xiao Rufeng, who had been spending time with her for weeks since they met.

"Allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Su Xiaofei, the newest talent manager of Bluemedia." Su Xiaofei continued.

"Regardless if I'm here or not, I have eyes everywhere and have been aware of the recent events while I'm gone." She said with a smirk. Obviously, she was trying to warn them that their deeds weren't left unnoticed.

"Xiaofei…" Xiao Rufeng stared at her in disbelief.

No wonder Xiao Fei had been so confident since the first day of their meeting. Did she also intend for others to misunderstand her, to filter who was worthy of her time and effort in the future?

Su Xiaofei? Not many were aware of the president's daughter's name, but if Xiaofei was a Su and had a freedom to meet the VP and had been frequently seen at the president's office, one didn't need half a brain to realize that she was the president's daughter.

"Y-you… Are you the President's daughter?" Yan Fanxing asked in shock.

"So what if I am? It's normal for children like us to succeed our parents in a family business, right? Obviously since I'm now at the right age, it's also time for me to lessen my mother's burdens." Su Xiaofei said nonchalantly, as if she couldn't be bothered by what these youngsters think of her now.

Su Xiaofei left the small crowd and excused herself as she received a message from her mother. She left the new recruits gaping at her in shock, with their minds all over the place, thinking if they had somewhat offended her during the days she was in their class.

Some heaved a sigh of relief, while the others blanched in fear. However, amongst them, the one who couldn't recover from her shock was none other than Xiao Rufeng instead.

When she noticed that Su Xiaofei had already left, Xiao Rufeng decided to chase after her in the hallway. She rushed and ran outside, looking around, trying to find Su Xiaofei. She then spotted the person she was looking for waiting in front of the elevator. It wasn't hard for her to spot Su Xiaofei even in a crowded place such as the main lobby because Su Xiaofei had striking features that made her prominent even as she was among the crowd.

"Xiao Fei!" She called out, and Su Xiaofei turned her head to look at her.

Xiao Rufeng hurriedly ran towards her and tried to catch her breath. She rested her palms on her knees once she reached Su Xiaofei.

"Miss Xiao, is there something I could do for you?" Su Xiaofei asked calmly.

"Is it true? You are the president's daughter and a talent manager now?" Xiao Rufeng asked once she was able to stabilize her breath.

"I am, but why are you asking me this?"

"I want to know… why are you helping me?"

"Why am I helping you?" Su Xiaofei chuckled as she crossed her arms over her chest after brushing her long locks over her shoulder.

"It seems that Miss Xiao has misunderstood my intentions and still hasn't realized the reason for my actions. As I said earlier, I'm a talent manager, and I'm looking for valuable talents with potential, and I found you. I'm pretty sure the other talent managers would have done the same thing I did if they were made aware of your potential."

Su Xiaofei said this without batting an eyelid, but Xiao Rufeng couldn't force herself to believe her claims.

Su Xiaofei had helped her improve her posture and taught her how to improve her singing, even for just a bit. She had also constantly reminded her to be aware of her temper and not get involved in any arguments with anyone.

These were beyond the things a normal talent manager would do for a prospective talent. For Xiao Rufeng, it seemed like Su Xiaofei was interested in taking her under her wing, but was waiting for her to prove her worth.

Xiao Rufeng met Su Xiaofei's eyes and there were no words needed to convey each other's thoughts.

Xiao Rufeng didn't push her luck and question Su Xiaofei anymore, but instead, stepped back and gave her a polite bow. She cannot ignore the fact that Su Xiaofei had done things to help her.

"Then I thank Miss Su for looking after me for these past weeks.. Your input has been a great help to me."
