40: The Female Lead Arrives (3)

The Female Lead Arrives (3)

'I was so stupid.' Su Xiaofei's nails dug painfully in her hands as these memories played in her mind. Sure enough, seeing Ye Mingyu in this lifetime again was enough to evoke the deep-seated hatred she had against this woman.0

Ye Mingyu had really played her well in her past life and she would be foolish if she fell under this woman's scheme again.

'Ye Mingyu, you ruined my life and killed my mother. You will pay for this! I will surely force you to pay with your blood this time!'

Now that she was reborn, it felt like the heavens hadn't truly turned its back on her. She had returned to the days before Ye Mingyu and her mother came into their lives.

With the knowledge of what happened in her past life, she had to change her own fate with her own hands.

Su Xiaofei then decided that it was time for her grand entrance as she already had enough listening to Ye Xing's pleas towards her mother. She appeared and slowly descended the staircase and spotted Yun Qingrong seated on the couch with an ashen face.

"Mama, is there something wrong?" Su Xiaofei asked, announcing her arrival.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her direction, marvelling at the sight of an elegant young lady walking down the stairs. They looked at her with awe, thinking how this young lady could be so pretty and refreshing to look at.

"Miss Feifei…"

Housekeeper Chen felt that something amiss with their young miss though. Today, Su Xiaofei was somewhat different. As the old woman stared at her miss, Housekeeper Chen felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

As Su Xiaofei took her elegant steps, she had this air of grace and indifference around her, something that she didn't have before. Her complexion was fair, her face had a little sharpness on it and with expressive eyes, one couldn't help but look at her. Compared to Ye Mingyu right now, Su Xiaofei seemed more attractive and superior.

Once she reached the bottom of the stairs, she hurriedly sat next to her adoptive mother. She shot Ye Xing and Ye Mingyu a cold look before turning her eyes to Housekeeper Chen.

Housekeeper Chen swallowed an invisible lump in her throat. When she saw Su Xiaofei was staring at her with a condescending look. Did her young miss know something?

"Mama, you look pale. Are you alright? What happened? Why are you shaking?" Su Xiaofei touched her mother's shoulder and gave her a worried look. She then turned her head towards Ye Xing, who was still kneeling on the ground, then to Ye Mingyu who remained silent.

Yun Qingrong looked at her daughter and her heart ached. She had no idea how to explain this mess to her poor daughter.

"This… Feifei…"

"Aunty Chen, I demand an explanation in this instance! You better give me a good reason why my mother is like this!"

Housekeeper Chen hadn't expected that Su Xiaofei would interrogate her like this. She was supposed to be a bystander, to witness this arrogant miss lose everything that she had ever known to Ye Mingyu. Thinking about it, the old woman scoffed inwardly. She would be the one who would deliver the fatal blow to this arrogant young woman for once and for all.

"It's like this, Miss Feifei…." She then narrated all the things Su Xiaofei had overheard earlier.

Su Xiaofei listened intently, her face one void with emotion. She allowed Housekeeper Chen and Ye Mingyu to think they had the advantage against her, but in the end, Su Xiaofei would shatter those hopes herself.

"So you're telling me, that this young woman in front of me, is my father's daughter with this woman?" She asked, once Housekeeper Chen was done with her narration. This old woman even dared to exaggerate the situation as if the one who was wronged was Ye Xing and Ye Mingyu and not her and her mother.

"Y-yes, Miss Feifei."

"Feifei…" Yun Qingrong held her daughter's hand tightly, shaking her head. She didn't want her daughter to face this humiliation.

"Oh? So what does it have to do with me and my mother then?" Su Xiaofei asked, shocking everyone.

"Miss… didn't you hear what I said earlier?" Housekeeper Chen was first to speak with an anxious expression on her face. This sentence was clearly painting Su Xiaofei as an ignorant and disagreeable person.

"I heard you loud and clear, Aunty Chen. Actually, it made me wonder who's the master here and why you let these two inside our house."

"Miss Xiaofei, I know this news comes as a shock to you, but this is the truth." Ye Xing said with a pitiful expression. Her eyes were now rimming with tears. "I wouldn't come here to cause your family trouble, had I not been diagnosed with an early stage of cancer."

"So what do you want us to do then?" Su Xiaofei questioned her.

Ye Xing bit her lip and glanced pitifully at Yun Qingrong.

"I wouldn't ask for anything. I just wish that you take my daughter in. Just in case I pass on, I would be content to know that my daughter is in a safe place. Madam, you understand me, right? You would have done the same had you been in my position."

Su Xiaofei scoffed. Ye Xing was just as good at acting like her daughter.

"Sorry, Miss Ye. That can't be done." She said calmly.

Ye Xing turned her head and looked at her. "But why?"

"I think Miss Ye is misunderstanding something here. I suppose you don't know, but my parents signed a prenup before getting married. In the event that Su Haoran cheated on my mother, they would immediately divorce, with him getting nothing from this marriage."

Ye Xing, Ye Mingyu and Housekeeper Chen were obviously shocked by this news.

"Since you came here and willingly revealed your very existence.. You've only dug a hole for father to lie in."
