Chapter 79 - Trouble Like Her Mother (1)
Su Xiaofei only stared blankly at Ye Mingyu, not responding a word to the other woman, which made the atmosphere between them awkward.
Ye Mingyu fidgeted, a little confused as to why Su Xiaofei wasn't saying anything. It would have been better if Su Xiaofei came to her seething in rage rather than enduring this awkward silence between them.
"Is there something you need from Feifei, Schoolmate Ye?" Xi Qian was the one to ask Ye Mingyu instead of Su Xiaofei.
Ye Mingyu bit her lower lip and took a quick glance at Su Xiaofei, who still has yet to say anything towards her.
"I just want to explain things to you, Xiaofei. I think you misunderstood me and my mother the last time we came to see you." She said in a low voice, as if she was afraid that other people could hear what she was saying.
Su Xiaofei looked around, wondering why this two-faced, shameless woman was acting pitifully in front of her, that was until she caught a movement in a nearby bush, her eyes narrowing slightly as Ye Mingyu obstructed her sight to prevent her from seeing what it was.
Su Xiaofei didn't need to crack her head to know that this was another one of Ye Mingyu's tricks. In her past life, she fell for this exact trick that Ye Mingyu orchestrated to ruin her reputation completely by allowing everyone in the school to witness for themselves how she physically assaulted Ye Mingyu on live streaming.
Seconds passed and Su Xiaofei still didn't utter a single word, which made Ye Mingyu feel like she was punching on the cotton instead, or worse, she was talking to a wall.
Xi Qian sighed and was about to drag Su Xiaofei away, knowing that Ye Mingyu must be trying to provoke her best friend.
"Let's go, Feifei. I'm sure Lu Qingfeng will call if he doesn't find us here." She told Su Xiaofei.
"W-wait!" Of course, Ye Mingyu couldn't allow Su Xiaofei to leave just like that. This stupid heiress was acting abnormal indeed.
"Schoolmate Ye, in case you don't get it, Feifei doesn't want to talk to you. After what you and your mother have done to her family, I don't think there's more to talk about." Xi Qian shot her a fierce glare, aware that she might have earned the ire of Ye Mingyu's white knights if they found out, but she didn't care anymore.
Ye Mingyu blatantly ignored her and tried to touch Su Xiaofei's wrist, forbidding the latter to leave without causing a commotion between them.
"Little Sister, please don't leave and hear what I have to say first! My Mom and I didn't mean to cause trouble to your parents. It's just that we are desperate for help." She insisted with a pair of misty eyes directed towards Su Xiaofei.
She was expecting Su Xiaofei to rudely slap her hand away, showing how disgusted she was by her. However, none of it happened as Su Xiaofei didn't push her hand away, nor did she glare daggers at her.
Instead, Su Xiaofei stepped forward, invading Ye Mingyu's private space. She lifted her hand and Ye Mingyu unconsciously lifted her arms as if trying to protect herself from being hit by Su Xiaofei. The slap never came as Su Xiaofei had only tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and smiled.
"Schoolmate Ye must be worried about Papa and her mother, just like me. However, what transpired between our elders is not something we should meddle with and cause them more trouble, don't you think? Although Miss Ye has to prove that Classmate Ye is truly Papa's daughter, I hope you won't spread false information to our schoolmates. It's really tasteless and humiliating to be asked if you are truly my sister or not, to be honest." Su Xiaofei smiled and stepped back.
"Anyway, I suppose it doesn't matter anymore as Papa has already moved in with you and your mother, right? If that's the case, can Schoolmate Ye do me a favor? Please tell Papa to sign the divorce papers already? It's been a week since my Mama's lawyer sent the papers. He's already living with you, so there's no need for my parents to stay married to each other anymore."
This information suddenly caused the chat section on the livestream to be flooded with many comments from the students of the academy who were tuning in.
'Shameless! How could a daughter of a mistress still have the audacity to face Su Xiaofei like this? She couldn't even prove if she was really their father's daughter!'
'I say, Su Xiaofei is still being kind, don't you think? If it was in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if Su Xiaofei slapped this shameless girl for daring to say such words to her.'
'Right, Ye Mingyu's mother is the mistress, right? Where did her mother get the guts to ask the legal wife to accept her daughter from an unknown man?'
However, there were still students who hated Su Xiaofei's guts and would rather side with Ye Mingyu instead.
'I feel like everyone is misunderstanding Schoolmate Ye. Why does Su Xiaofei have to treat her like this when Ye Mingyu just wants to talk to her?'
'Poster above, are you f*cking serious right now? Can you even hear what you are saying? If a fox came knocking on your door, please let us know if you've taken it in willingly!'
'Ye Mingyu is trouble like her mother. If she was aware of the situation she and her mother are in, she should know that they were at a disadvantage since her mother is the Xiao San1 in Su Xiaofei's parent's marriage.'
'Do you really expect a mistress's daughter to have any shame? I bet her mother told her to cause trouble for Su Xiaofei.'
'But why is their father still refusing to sign the divorce papers if he's already living with his other family?'
'What other reason could there be? Of course, he wants to squeeze more money from Su Xiaofei's mother!'
