Taking the First Step (2)

Su Xiaofei was already discharged from the hospital that day and she wasn't a bit surprised that Su Haoran didn't bother to see her at all. Although Yun Qingrong wanted her to stay at the hospital for another day just to make sure she was okay, she couldn't persuade Su Xiaofei and could only accept that she was going home with them.2

The first thing Su Xiaofei did as soon as she returned home was to go to her bedroom as if she was afraid that this was just a figment of her imagination, and that she was only dreaming of seeing and meeting her mother again.

The moment she pushed the door of her bedroom open, she was greeted by the sight of light pink and pastel colors that almost made her eyes hurt. It was still the same as she remembered before changing all of these after Ye Mingyu's arrival in their lives.

Although she was pampered and spoiled since childhood by Yun Qingrong, when Ye Mingyu came into the scene, Su Xiaofei was repeatedly compared with her fake elder sister.

Su Xiaofei wasn't as tall as Ye Mingyu as she was only 165 centimeters compared to Ye Mingyu's 172 centimeters height. Even if the difference in their height didn't matter, their figures were completely different.

Su Xiaofei's chest wasn't like an airport runway, but compared to Ye Mingyu's magnificent figure, it was nothing. Paired with her innocent face, it wasn't surprising why so many men had been charmed by Ye Mingyu.

In her past life, in order for her not to be outshone by Ye Mingyu, Su Xiaofei started wearing high heels, so she wouldn't feel too intimidated by the other woman's height. Because of this and her long-term use of high-heeled shoes, the shape of her feet changed.

Su Xiaofei couldn't help but feel glad that she won't need to endure the same thing again. She wouldn't be envious of Ye Mingyu anymore. So what if Ye Mingyu was her father's real daughter and Mo Yuchen's love of his life? She, Su Xiaofei, was Yun Qingrong's daughter, regardless if she came from her mother or not.

As her mother's daughter, she had all the rights to her mother's properties, as for Su Haoran… well, he could only blame himself because Su Xiaofei didn't have any intention to spare him a single cent.

As for others' opinions, why would it matter to her? In her past life, aside from being ridiculed unjustly by them, she was also painted as a loose woman who wanted to seduce and snatch her elder sister's man. So why should she consider their opinions?

While it's true that she was overbearing, arrogant and haughty in the past, some people had splashed her dirty water for the things that she didn't do in the first place.

Su Xiaofei sat on the edge of her girly bed and reminisced about the past. She had been so foolish to disregard her mother in favor of chasing Mo Yuchen. In the end, the one who truly loved her died, while her husband chased another woman once he got his hands on her mother's properties.

Her bedroom was far from the same bedroom she had when she died and when Lu Qingfeng had occupied it. There were light blue curtains with pink colored trimmings decorating the French window. There was a soft rug beneath her feet, which Yun Qingrong had personally placed next to her bed after that one night when she had accidentally tripped and slipped from her bed half asleep.

Such simple actions that Su Xiaofei used to ignore in the past, but she could see them clearly now. There were cute pillows and dolls still lying on her large bed, which she also received from her mother. Su Xiaofei knew that Yun Qingrong spoiled her, treated her like a real princess not because she couldn't bear a child of her own, but because she truly treated Su Xiaofei as her daughter.

Su Xiaofei sighed as her heart ached. Yun Qingrong was way better than that woman who gave birth to her and abandoned her for the sake of a striving career.

Before her death in her past life, it was Lu Qingfeng who revealed who her real mother was after he ran an investigation based on Ye Mingyu's claim that Su Xiaofei wasn't the real daughter of the Su family, but her.

However, this room that was decorated by Yun Qingrong herself, was entirely changed by Su Xiaofei after she threw a fit for being treated like she was still a child by her mother. When Ye Mingyu came, Su Xiaofei insisted that Aunty Liu renovate her room to make it look like it was a bedroom intended for a young woman like her.

After changing her clothes, Su Xiaofei took the hairbrush from her vanity and slowly combed her long hair, pondering what she should do next. Since heavens had given her a chance to relive her life, the first step she would make was critical to ensure her win this time.

She glanced at the calendar on the nightstand and tried to remember what happened in the past around this time.

In the past, after she was discharged from the hospital and stayed in her apartment, she heard that Ye Mingyu had arrived at Qiying City with her mother and had met Master Ouyang.

The Ouyang family owned one of the largest entertainment agencies in the country, Top Tier Entertainment. However, Master Ouyang wasn't part of the company. Instead, he was working as a high-ranking government official.

Su Xiaofei briefly heard that Ye Mingyu had somehow managed to save Master Ouyang's life, hence, when Ye Mingyu was scouted by an agent, she had chosen to sign with Top Tier Entertainment and with Master Ouyang's help, got the best debut opportunity she could get in the industry.

"But what would you do, Ye Mingyu if I stole your spotlight this time?"
