Novel Full Chapter 287 - If Only I Could Rush To Your Side (2)
A week later, the news that Lu Qingfeng's car was involved in a massive car accident reached Su Xiaofei. Su Xiaofei had just finished her meeting inside her office with Zhao Yi, who she recruited as a talent agent years ago.
It was Zhang Ling who had reported the news to her, leaving Su Xiaofei rooted in her place. Su Xiaofei felt like a hundred — no, thousands of sharp needles pierced her heart. Her mind raced, thinking that Lu Qingfeng might have gotten hurt, while fear gripped her heart tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.
How… How was this even possible? Didn't Lu Qingfeng promise her that he would notify her of the day of his return?
'No… No… No! This can't be!' Su Xiaofei would've fallen on her knees if Zhang Lan hadn't stepped forward and taken hold of her.
"Miss! Please calm down." The stoic elder Zhang sister told Su Xiaofei. "We have yet to hear of the Master's condition."
Although she was also concerned about her master's welfare, Zhang Lan knew that they could only wait for his news. She refused to believe that her ever cautious master would easily fall for such a cheap trick set by his greedy relatives.
The Zhang siblings weren't aware that this was merely a ploy Lu Qingfeng and his grandfather set up to trick their relatives, who wanted their master dead at any cost.
Su Xiaofei allowed herself to be seated on the couch inside her office. She leaned forward, clutching her chest tightly, her eyes now stung with tears.
'I should have insisted on knowing the date of his return.' She told herself, allowing a single tear to roll down her cheeks.
Lu Qingfeng had fallen into a deep coma in her previous life, but who could guarantee that he wouldn't end up dead this time?
Rumors said that someone from the Lu family wanted Lu Qingfeng dead. However, since Su Xiaofei's knowledge about the Lu family's affairs were limited, it was hard for her to identify who the perpetrator was.
However, if such a scheme had harmed Lu Qingfeng, how could she turn a blind eye on it in this lifetime? All would be for naught if she wouldn't be able to protect him this time.
The shocked expression on her beautiful face slowly morphed into a murderous one. Her eyes flashing with killing intent as the thought of losing Lu Qingfeng was testing her sanity already.
Was this what Lu Qingfeng felt when she died in her previous life? If so, then she understood why Lu Qingfeng became the vicious tyrant he was. Just the mere thought of Lu Qingfeng losing his life or falling into a coma was enough to plant a deep-seated seed of hatred in Su Xiaofei's heart.
If something bad happened to Lu Qingfeng, Su Xiaofei swore in her heart that she wouldn't stop until all the people responsible for hurting him were crushed beyond salvation. She didn't care if people viewed her as a wicked villainess and didn't care if she couldn't be a heroine in the eyes of others, if that meant she would be able to protect those who were dear to her heart.
At that moment, Yun Qingrong chose to enter Su Xiaofei's office in a hurry. No doubt she was already informed of the accident that took place on highway 23.
"Mama, were you able to contact Grandfather Lu?" Su Xiaofei immediately asked, taking her mother's hands with her shaking hands.
Yun Qingrong looked at her daughter with pity. Her Feifei must have been worried sick about Xiao Feng now. She drew her daughter into a tight embrace, in an attempt to calm Su Xiaofei down.
Su Xiaofei hadn't noticed that her whole body was trembling ever since she received the news of the accident.
"I'm sorry, dear. It seems like everyone has been caught off guard with this news. No one is picking up my calls. They must be busy trying to control the situation." Yun Qingrong said in a hushed tone, patting Su Xiaofei's back.
"He will be okay, right, Mama? Lu Qingfeng would come home safely, right?" Su Xiaofei asked in despair.
She had long accepted that her rebirth wouldn't mean she would be able to be in full control of everything as she pleased, and the things she had done had a limit on how much it could affect others' fate.
Yun Qingrong was at a loss at how she should answer her daughter's question. Before coming here to see Feifei, she gave her brothers a call and asked for their help. The Yun family would be able to receive news faster than any media outlets could anyway.
"I don't know, Feifei, but I want to believe that Xiao Feng is safe. Until we receive reports about his condition, let's hope that he's safe and sound somewhere." She patted her daughter's head.
Even though Su Xiaofei was now a grown up, Yun Qingrong wasn't ready to see her leave her side and face a plight on her own. No matter how old her Feifei was, she was still her daughter that she needed to take care of.
"En, Miss Su. Please wait for a while longer as Ling'er and I try to contact Mr. Nine. Whatever happens, we will stay by your side." Zhang Lan tried to console her, which was surprising even for her younger sister.
Beside Zhang Lan, Zhang Ling nodded her head eagerly. It was their first time witnessing Su Xiaofei act like this, which only cemented Zhang Ling's assumption that Su Xiaofei was truly the one destined and worthy to become their lady boss in the future.
Zhang Ling also didn't like seeing Su Xiaofei like this, as she preferred seeing their miss brimming with confidence and arrogance, as if she didn't give a damn about what people thought of her.. No matter what anyone said, she would do whatever she wanted and whatever that made her happy.
