Chapter 110 - No One Is Completely Innocent (2)

"Eh? What's wrong with me hanging out with Lu Qingfeng? We've been together for years and understood each other better than anyone else. Why should I feel ashamed attending the founding ball with him? Classmate Feng, instead of criticizing who I'll be attending with, you should really pay attention to that new best friend of yours."

Su Xiaofei smiled. If Ye Mingyu was aware who Cai Lin was and still sought after him, wouldn't that mean she didn't care about Feng Xue'er's feelings at all? She would certainly hide the fact that she was seeing Cai Lin from her best friend to avoid losing Feng Xue'er's support.

The reason why Feng Xue'er was head over heels with her fiancé was because Cai Lin knew how to say the right words to keep her interested in him. The Cai family indeed had a lot of money, but they lacked the influence that Feng Xue'er's family had and with their union, the Cai family was hoping it would uplift their status in society.

However, Feng Xue'er and the Feng family took their dignity seriously and had kept their reputation unmarred by any controversy. So Su Xiaofei was certain that if the news of Cai Lin cheating on Feng Xue'er reached the Feng family, the Feng family would immediately dissolve the engagement between the two, and Feng Xue'er would blame no one but Ye Mingyu for ruining her future.

This information caught the attention of their other classmates, who were listening to their arguments yet again.

'Huh, did Ye Mingyu do something again?'

'Who knows what she's up to. Actually, I haven't seen her that much these days.'

'There's still three weeks until the founding ball. If she truly got a new boyfriend, he must have come from a well-off family.'

'Oh? Then we should wait and see. I suddenly feel like this year's founding ball will be exciting!'

Their classmates were so caught up with their conversation that they had now ignored Feng Xue'er and Su Xiaofei's argument.

"If you aren't going to say anything, please leave, Classmate Feng. I would like to take a nap while the teacher isn't here yet." Su Xiaofei said and yawned, before wiping the top of her desk with antimicrobial wipes to make sure no dirt would touch her beautiful face.

Feng Xue'er frowned, her face looked awful. She felt lost that she wasn't able to get the reaction she was hoping for from Su Xiaofei.

Looking at Su Xiaofei's face, it seemed like she really didn't want to have anything to do with Ye Mingyu nor did she care who would be crowned as the 'Fairy Queen of the Night' at the founding ball.

Xi Qian, who remained silent throughout the conversation her best friend had with Feng Xue'er scoffed inwardly. Did Feng Xue'er think that Su Xiaofei was the same old girl who can easily be provoked by anyone?

Since the incident during her birthday, Xi Qian obviously noticed the striking difference in behavior and outlook that her best friend displayed. Unlike before, Su Xiaofei seemed calmer and relaxed these days. She never responded to any provocation anymore. She would instead insult them verbally without losing her cool.

However, she also noticed that Feifei looked detached and too frigid when no one was looking at her. Her eyes were like a bottomless pit of darkness without any hint of warmth in them. Xi Qian knew that something wasn't right, but she feared that Feifei would only distance herself from her if she dared to question her about it.

When the class ended for the day, Su Xiaofei found Lu Qingfeng waiting for her outside in the hallway. By this time, Lu Qingfeng should be going to the court to practice with his team.

"Xiao Feng? What are you doing here? I thought you said that you have practice today?" She asked. She was planning to drop Xi Qian at her part-time job and take a much-needed nap back at home for the rest of the afternoon.

"Qiao Yuhan just called me earlier, asking me if we could take him to an arcade. His parents won't be back until tonight." Lu Qingfeng replied, noticing that Su Xiaofei was a little lethargic these days.

Xi Qian pouted upon hearing that. She can't skip work and join them today.

"Ohh, I would love to join you, but I can't go with you guys today." She sighed, a little upset that she wouldn't be able to play with young Qiao Yuhan and his cute fluffy cat.

"And you agreed without asking me first?" Su Xiaofei asked. This was unusual for Lu Qingfeng, knowing how he hated dealing with kids even when they were younger. He would rather stay at home than play with those pesky children who couldn't even wipe their own snot.

"Why? Do you have plans today? I thought you would love to see Qiao Yuhan." Lu Qingfeng replied. "They're planning to return to Shenjing soon, so he wanted to see the beautiful Da Jie before they leave. Qiao Yuhan said he would be picking us up in half an hour."

Su Xiaofei sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. If Lu Qingfeng put it that way, how was she supposed to decline Qiao Yuhan's request? It wasn't like she was doing this just because the boy was her half brother. She actually still felt indebted to Qiao Yuhan for looking after her throughout her remaining days in her previous life.

Su Xiaofei felt that she hadn't thanked him enough and hadn't spent enough time with her cute and adorable little brother.

"Fine." She conceded, "but can we buy something for me to change into? I don't want to be seen at an arcade wearing my uniform."

"I can ask Katarina to prepare spare clothes before we leave." Lu Qingfeng agreed with her. He checked the time, before sending a quick message to his private secretary.

"Okay, then I'll leave that to you."

Su Xiaofei decided her nap could wait.
