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

A woman, dressed in a champagne color dress that accentuated her feminine curves, alighted from her car as soon as she parked it on a vacant slot at the basement parking of the building. She rushed to the elevators while her phone was pressed on her right ear as she listened to her daughter's rumbling at the other end of the line.

"Yes, dear. Mommy will be there on time." The woman replied, glancing at the indicator of the floor where the elevator was currently on. She then checked the time and sighed inwardly as she realized that she was still early for her meeting.

"Alright, dear. Mommy will call you later, okay? I need to see Manager Su now."

The doors of the private elevator opened in front of her, and she immediately stepped inside, pressing the floor where Su Xiaofei's office was located. As the elevator slowly ascended to her destination, she couldn't help but give her reflection a good look. Tang Liyan thought that the woman she was seeing now was far from the pitiful and pathetic woman that she was years ago.

Compared to her naive and weak self when Su Xiaofei found her, she had grown to be resilient and self-reliant. She no longer needed the influence of her mother, nor her ex-husband's support, to live the life she wanted for herself and her daughter.

It had been five years since Su Xiaofei appeared in her life, pulling her out from the hellhole she and her young daughter were trapped in. Her divorce with her ex-husband had been a nasty one, as his family continued to hound her even after their separation. If it wasn't for Su Xiaofei's intervention, Tang Liyan didn't think she would be able to endure the legal battle she had with her husband for their daughter's custody.

The doors of the elevator opened again and Tang Liyan wasn't surprised to see Zhang Lan waiting for her.

"Miss Zhang, I told you, you don't have to wait for me here." Tang Liyan greeted her.

"Miss Tang, our Miss is expecting you today. Please follow me." Zhang Lan ignored the actress's comment and gestured for the latter to follow her. She was dressed in her customary black uniform with white undershirt, her long hair pinned in a high ponytail which gave her a more matured look.

They went to the office located at the west side of the building. Once they reached, Zhang Lan opened the door for Tang Liyan. As soon as Tang Liyan stepped into the room, her brows rose when she saw Su Xiaofei groaning at the stack of papers placed on her desk, while she hovered over a book in front of her.

Su Xiaofei lifted her head up when she heard the door open and saw Tang Liyan standing at the doorway. She immediately stood up and buttoned her coat, gesturing for the actress to take a seat on the couch while she fished out a folder from one of her top drawers before joining Tang Liyan. But the actress chose to remain standing.

"We received an offer for a film. This is the script. Tell me if it interests you, if not, I will decline it on your behalf."

Tang Liyan accepted the folder and stared at Su Xiaofei for a moment. Because Su Xiaofei hadn't taken a seat yet, Tang Liyan was able to note the changes in her manager's features over the years.

The slim, young woman whom she met years ago had turned into a stunning beauty in the blink of an eye. As she looked at Su Xiaofei's face, Tang Liyan couldn't help but marvel at it. Her face was so beautiful, it was almost otherworldly in Tang Liyan's opinion.

Tang Liyan knew that Su Xiaofei's features were more striking than any young actress of this generation, and if she were to join the entertainment industry, her face alone could leave a dark cast over her competitors.

Her dark gray business ensemble didn't hide her slender figure, showing the fullness of womanhood. She had a delicate waist, long slender legs and her bosom protruded a little. She walked without shame or false modesty, knowing she was beautiful to the eye, sleek with a slight athletic frame.

The slight plumpness on her face had been shed over time, making her facial features sharper. Her eyes were clear, but looking at it could make one feel that they were looking at a bottomless pit of darkness instead. Her lips were slightly pale, her teeth white and perfect, and with her wavy hair tumbling loosely over her shoulder gave off a lazy charm.

After knowing Su Xiaofei for a long time, seeing her up close was enough to put Tang Liyan in a trance. Her young manager had been born with good looks, and after growing up, she had become so beautiful that many people had mistaken her as a celebrity instead.

When Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow at her, Tang Liyan then turned her gaze to the folder in her hand and started reading the contents, aware that her manager was looking at her, waiting for her answer.

After working with her manager for five years now, Tang Liyan was familiar with Su Xiaofei's ways and preferences. This woman was strict when it comes to work and won't accept any talent that didn't meet her standards.

Su Xiaofei also didn't like her talents acting like a mindless puppet. She won't accept any roles and projects that would make her talents uncomfortable or place them in precarious situations. Although Tang Liyan had yet to settle the debt she owed to Su Xiaofei, she was confident that her career was on the right path because of her manager.

Even now, Tang Liyan couldn't believe that she was able to defeat Bai Qingyue five years ago when both of their TV dramas were released at the same time.. She knew then that whatever she had now, it was because Su Xiaofei believed in her.
