181: The Fate of the Wicked (3)

The Fate of the Wicked (3)

'Do you dare?' Su Xiaofei looked smugly at her useless adopted father. 'Do you dare to lay a hand on me, knowing you would make the Yun family come after you?'0

It was General Yun's fault for acknowledging her as his granddaughter. Didn't he consider that she didn't care about their family's reputation and would shamelessly use her position to bully others before accepting her, or was it just a facade for being Yun Qingrong's daughter?

"Enough! You've truly become unruly every time I see you." Su Haoran, of course, wouldn't dare to hurt her if the Yun family was now backing her up. Today, he only said those words out of anger, but who would have thought that Su Xiaofei would become more venomous ever since their last meeting?

It had only been a few weeks, how did this unruly daughter of his turned into a new leaf overnight? The more he looked at her, the more he couldn't predict what she was even thinking. She had drastically changed and became a thorn in his eyes.

He could only look at her with a trace of anger in his eyes. Su Haoran was so tempted to beat her until she wouldn't be able to smile at him like this.

"Oh? Since your divorce with my Mama is already certain, Papa shouldn't bother to discipline me anymore. However, if you really thought I wronged 'Da Jie', then I will surely atone for my sins."

As Ye Mingyu heard it, she couldn't help but feel goose bumps all over her. Those words didn't sound like a simple statement. It was like there was a hint of warning on Su Xiaofei's words. She hadn't known Su Xiaofei for a long time, but Ye Mingyu was surprised with the intensity of her hatred towards her.

Su Haoran and the others left Su Xiaofei and went to see the Chen family. However, it was obvious that there was tension from both families as Housekeeper Chen shot Ye Mingyu a fierce glare, while the latter lowered her head in shame.

When Chen Li was brought into the courtroom, she didn't look like her usual self. It seemed that being held in custody had put a lot of stress on her, as the once proud and arrogant young lady was now looking helpless and pitiful.

If there's a word that Su Xiaofei could use to describe Chen Li, it would be desperate, but did she care if this young lady's future had been ruined by her? Certainly not. It was because she had now realized the errors of her ways in her past life that she was willing to take extra measures to seek vengeance on them.

So what if she was cruel and ruthless? To Su Xiaofei, it didn't matter how others perceive her anymore, as long as the one to suffer pain and humiliation wouldn't be her, but her enemies. Even if her methods were cold and cruel, she would bear the consequences of her sins.

Lu Qingfeng didn't miss the vicious glint that flashed in her eyes. People were ready to point fingers at her, calling her names that could hurt not only one's ear, but could stab a heart painfully like a knife, but Su Xiaofei endured all of it.

It was because she knew, and he knew that if she remained the same ignorant young woman everyone played with and deceived in her past life, these same people would trample her, hurt her and worse would scheme to hurt her mother.

Being reborn with her memories kept intact, Su Xiaofei would definitely not just sit idly and remain ignorant of the schemes being directed at her. Su Haoran and Ye Mingyu had failed to coerce Yun Qingrong, but it would certainly not be easy to make a move against Mo Yuchen.

Oddly enough, Lu Qingfeng felt that he was falling deeply in love, the more he saw her like this. Her confident, arrogant smiles, her taunting, ridiculing words, the cold stare she had whenever she was angry, inciting disharmony among others… it didn't make her less lovable in his eyes.

Su Xiaofei was beautiful, even if others thought her smiles were frightening. To become the tyrant's woman, one shouldn't let others defeat her in a typical scheme.

When the final verdict was announced, Chen Li raised her head and cried hysterically. She yelled for her mother's help and kept on saying that it wasn't her fault. She continued to cry hoarsely along with her mother.

Su Xiaofei sat still, motionless, as Chen Li was sentenced to imprisonment for twelve years. She would spend the first three years in a correctional facility for juveniles, and would then be transferred to a regular one.

The lawyer, whom Su Haoran hired to defend Chen Li, lowered his head and apologized to their family. Madam Chen continued to cry helplessly, while Chen Hao bit his lips, but didn't say anything. He was still clueless as to why this was happening to his family.

The crying only became louder when the officers dragged Chen Li away from her mother as they cried hysterically, refusing to be separated from each other. The scene somewhat reminded Su Xiaofei of her, begging these two women in the hallway of the hospital to see her mother, only for her to be chased away.

The pain of being forcibly separated from her mother, did they understand the pain now that it was happening to them?

Su Xiaofei lowered her gaze for a moment, as if she was trying to rein the raging hatred in her eyes. No, this wasn't enough to quell the hatred she was still nursing in her heart. She wouldn't be satisfied until every one of them reached a dead end, only to cut the remaining string of their hope.

"Xiao Feng, let's go. We're already done here." She said, as she held her purse and adjusted her sunglasses.

She and Lu Qingfeng left the courtroom, the cries of the two women lingering in their ears as they turned their back to everyone.
