Novel Full Chapter 71 - Against The World (1)
"It's alright, Feifei. It's normal to be afraid." This time, Lu Qingfeng's voice sounded gentler. "You don't have to worry about anything. You can rely on me and Xi Qian for help. Just say the word."
She wanted to destroy Mo Yuchen? Fine. He had an enmity towards that man anyway. Even if Su Xiaofei decided to turn the world into her enemy, he wouldn't even try to stop her from ruining it.
"He's right, Feifei. Even if I can't help you with anything, you can tell me everything that's bothering you." Xi Qian nodded her head frantically. It didn't matter if she and Lu Qingfeng didn't get along well, but if it was for Su Xiaofei, she would willingly set aside her differences with him.
Su Xiaofei stared at the two people in front of her, feeling speechless from their heartfelt words. She didn't even realize that she had started crying, startling both Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian.
In her previous life, after she entered the show business along with Ye Mingyu, her thoughts were filled with how she could beat that woman and how to make Mo Yuchen love her. Because she was blinded by her obsession and jealousy, she'd rarely met or talked with Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng, and the distance between them naturally grew wider.
She had abandoned these two precious people in order to chase after people who only wanted to see her suffer. In the end, she lost everything that was dear to her, only to receive a deadly blow from her own husband and his mistress.
She had lost her Mama, who loved her the most, her best friend lost her life caused by her own family and the man she grew up with ended up as a person people despised the most. In the end, what did she get by choosing Mo Yuchen and competing with Ye Mingyu?
The more she thought about how awful she treated these two in the past, the more Su Xiaofei felt remorseful for what she had done to them. Now that she was hearing their concern for her, she wondered if she was worthy.
'Xi Qian, Lu Qingfeng. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for being selfish and cruel to both of you.' She cried in her heart. She was the foolish and idiotic villainess who was played by everyone in the past, but not this time...
Su Xiaofei covered her face with both hands and wept uncontrollably. Her sudden outburst made Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian wonder what made her cry like this. Was she releasing her pent-up frustrations, now that her father and Housekeeper Chen were gone from their home?
Xi Qian pulled her friend into a hug and patted Su Xiaofei's back. Did Feifei cry like this because Mo Yuchen was bullying her again? Recalling their recent encounter with that man, Xi Qian was sure that Mo Yuchen didn't have any redeeming qualities for him to deserve their Feifei.
Su Xiaofei should never marry a person who couldn't even respect her. If he couldn't respect her, it was impossible for Mo Yuchen to ever see her in a different light. What's so good about that man anyway? If anything, he should be revered Su Xiaofei for saving his life when they were younger.
Well, not that it mattered right now, because there was no way she would allow Mo Yuchen to come close to Feifei from now on. Even if the day came for Mo Yuchen to realize his mistakes towards Su Xiaofei, it would be too late for him to regret his actions.
"It's okay, Feifei. We're here. You don't have to face everything on your own." Xi Qian allowed Su Xiaofei to continue crying in her arms. She knew that her friend, who was conferred by everyone as a villainess, only seeing her as an arrogant and haughty woman, needed to release whatever frustration that was pent up inside her.
Without her bastard father and scheming relatives, Su Xiaofei now could lower her guard and cry to her heart's content, something she wasn't able to do for a long time. Come to think of it, there were very few instances where she had seen Su Xiaofei shed tears in the past as she had always masked her pain with her arrogant and cold facade.
While Xi Qian was thinking about how rare it was for Su Xiaofei to cry, seeing her shed tears was something Lu Qingfeng couldn't tolerate since he was younger. The first time she shed tears in front of him, he couldn't understand why this loud and obnoxious girl wasn't her usual self. It disturbed him to know that there was something that could make Su Xiaofei cry.
This time, Lu Qingfeng lowered his eyes, not wanting to show the cold and menacing darkness in them to the two young women in front of him. The urge to crush the one responsible for Su Xiaofei's tears was so intense that he was having a hard time to rein his anger at that moment.
They waited patiently for Su Xiaofei to calm down and dry her tears before they continued their conversation. Once Su Xiaofei realized what she had done, she couldn't meet her friends' gazes from the guilt and remorse she was feeling.
"Sorry, Qian, Xiao Feng… I promise I won't play nice with them this time."
Perhaps the reason why the heavens gave her one last chance to rectify her mistakes in the past was for her to make up to her loved ones. In this lifetime, she wouldn't allow her mother and Xi Qian to succumb to unjust death, no matter what happens.
As for Lu Qingfeng… Well, Su Xiaofei wasn't ready to face the issue between them yet. In three years, he would leave the country to finish his studies abroad.. The years of separation between them should be enough for her to clear her mind and make the right decision for the two of them, if he still wanted her upon his return.
