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

The next day, Lu Qingfeng and his grandfather left Qiying City early in the morning. With his absence, Su Xiaofei knew that she would have one less distraction to exact the revenge she had yet to deliver to Mo Yuchen.

Once she had sent off Lu Qingfeng, Zhang Ling noticed that her miss had a peculiar smile plastered on her face. It reminded Zhang Ling of the phrase, 'when the cat's away, the mice will play.' She hadn't thought that her young miss was considering Lu Qingfeng's opinion all this time.

"Why do I feel like Miss Su is happy to get rid of our Young Master?" Zhang Ling frowned as she complained to her elder sister. Lu Qingfeng had just left for Shenjing, but Su Xiaofei was acting like she was happy to be rid of him.

Zhang Lan raised a slender brow at her and shook her head. She didn't share the same opinion as her sister. The relationship between their young master and Su Xiaofei was crystal clear in their eyes.

"You are thinking too much, Ling. It's not what you think." She replied, gesturing for her sister to watch her words.

"Then what is it then? Why did she seem so happy when Young Master Lu left?"

"You still don't get it? After serving Miss Su for some time now, you still don't see how she sees Master Lu?" Zhang Lan questioned her younger sister in return.

Zhang Ling shook her head. It was hard for her to understand Su Xiaofei's intention, even if her orders were delivered without a question from her side.

"Ling, the reason why Miss Su is happy and looked relieved is that she didn't want to implicate our master in her future plans. With Master Lu around, she has to be careful with her actions." Zhang Lan explained. It might not be obvious to others, but Su Xiaofei truly cared about their young master.

The way Zhang Lan looked at it, Su Xiaofei's recent actions were merely preparations for what was about to happen in the future. Zhang Lan noticed that Su Xiaofei had some similarities with their young master.

Both were looking ahead of their future and making preparations this early, which not many would consider at their young age. While their peers were busy trying to get into their dream school or pursuing the career they wanted, the two were learning how to make the money work for them.

Zhang Ling bit her lip, knowing that her elder sister's words made sense. She was probably being too suspicious of Su Xiaofei. Of course, they were concerned about her welfare, but their loyalty still lay with Lu Qingfeng.

Meanwhile, the said young woman was silently watching the scenery outside the window as Zhang Lan drove her back home after sending Lu Qingfeng. She remembered that when Lu Qingfeng left to study overseas in her past life, she had a fierce fight with him.

Su Xiaofei didn't want him to leave, but she wasn't able to stop him. Lu Qingfeng also didn't want to leave back then, but he couldn't go against his grandfather's wishes. Thinking about her past actions, she couldn't help but be annoyed with her previous self. No wonder many people couldn't stand being with her, because she was such a selfish person.

She smiled faintly to herself and thought how Lu Qingfeng wasn't willing to let go of her hand earlier. She knew that if he could, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't leave her side no matter what.

Although she was already set on vengeance the moment she was reborn, she couldn't help but feel moved by his actions.

Five years without him by her side.

So be it.

Once he returned, she promised herself that she would never let go of his hand anymore. She would be strong enough, selfish enough, to claim Lu Qingfeng's love for herself. Until then, she would cultivate herself and become a better version of herself.

As for Mo Yuchen and Ye Mingyu, she would allow them to continue climbing up, before their inevitable hard fall from grace. The most pitiful situation in this world was not to lose something before one could have it, but to ruthlessly snatch away one's desire from their own hands.

Su Xiaofei had no doubt that Ye Mingyu would force her debut in the entertainment industry after five years, just  like she did in her previous life. However, this time, Su Xiaofei would make sure that Ye Mingyu wouldn't be able to use her as her stepping stone to further her career in the industry.

Since they had all deemed her as the cruel villainess in her past life, they shouldn't blame her for playing such a role then. The hatred she was nurturing in her heart was like a poisonous snake in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to strike without any reservations and mercy.

However, just as she thought about her future plans, Lu Qingfeng's reminder echoed in her mind. It was something he tried to insist on before he left.

"Feifei and I are different. From the very start, I knew that you would take it upon yourself to do anything that is necessary to achieve your goal. But Feifei, you have to promise me not to put your own life at risk like you did for Master Ouyang. If not for me, then you need to be cautious for Aunty Qing's sake."

Su Xiaofei could only agree with his condition. If it was in the past, she wouldn't care what she could lose in order to get what she wanted, which was foolish, now that she was able to think clearly.

Since she had already given Lu Qingfeng her word, she had to keep it and avoid getting hurt in the process of her revenge.. However, this didn't mean that her resentment in her heart could easily let Mo Yuchen and everyone who harmed her and her mother off the hook just yet.
