Chapter 186 - No Regrets (2)
So what if she didn't give the Mo family any face? It was better to become a demoness than a fool. Being a demoness meant she would be taking the less-traveled path, opposing the foolish villainess of what 'fate' and these people expected from her.
"Oh, Yuchen, how come your little girlfriend isn't joining us?" Di Zemin, Mo Yuchen's long time friend, asked, as they noticed that Su Xiaofei had chosen to stick by the young Lu Qingeng's side rather than being on Mo Yuchen's side.
Wei Qiu, their other friend, laughed as he downed another glass of whiskey before glancing at the little demoness.
"I heard that Su Xiaofei was stabbed a few weeks ago. Who knew that after such an event she changed dramatically." He commented.
Di Zemin's eyes widened, then following Wei Qiu's sight, seeing Su Xiaofei laughing beside Lu Qingfeng. As always, this younger man seemed to always prefer to be on his own, but Lu Qingfeng would always welcome Su Xiaofei's company anytime.
"Wow. I would have never thought that there would be a day that Su Xiaofei would stop liking Yuchen. She used to fawn over him and wouldn't see any other man in her eyes." De Zemin scoffed and patted Mo Yuchen's back. "Third brother must be upset right now. Are you regretting it?"
Mo Yuchen was the youngest of the three of them, and had known these two since their university days. He was close with these two as they weren't excessive and knew his temper really well.
"Regret? There will never be such a thing." Mo Yuchen looked at his whiskey, then glanced at Su Xiaofei's way. Ever since his encounter with her at the hospital, he felt that the two of them were drifting away from each other.
He had to admit that aside from her rude attitude towards him, she became more beautiful than ever. It seemed that she had turned over a new leaf overnight and was more daring than ever.
Still, it baffled him as to what had caused this sudden change in her. It wasn't like they had a huge fight before this, as they had only talked a couple of times. For her to stare at him like a tigress waiting to make a kill, what crime did he commit to deserve her ire?
Mo Yuchen looked away. If Su Xiaofei didn't want him, then so be it. However, this would be a problem for him in the future. There was no way his family would allow their engagement to be broken as easily as this.
At first, he didn't mind being engaged to her because the advantage would overturn the effort he would need to exert. Su Xiaofei liked him anyway, and in terms of appearance, she wasn't lacking at all. She would be the perfect trophy wife beside him. Now that she wasn't willing to be with him, this would surely affect his position at the company in the future.
While Mo Yuchen pondered these thoughts, Su Xiaofei couldn't be bothered by it. However, when Old General Yun was greeted by the rest of the Mo family, she spotted Mo Yuchen leaving his friends for a moment to pay respect to the old man.
Su Xiaofei sighed and could already feel that she was the topic of their conversation. Because if not, the Old General Yun wouldn't glance her way, smiling stiffly at Elder Mo. She had already expected that the Mo? family wouldn't easily agree to break off her betrothal with Mo Yuchen, and they must be trying to seek the Yun family's help to maintain their ties.
When General Yuan gestured for her to come over, Lu Qingfeng followed behind her wordlessly. She stood next to his seat and looked at the unmade chessboard in front of him.
"Grandpa." She gave the old general a polite nod, before glancing at Mo Yuchen and Elder Mo who were standing in front of them. Meanwhile, Mo Yuchen's father and Mo Yuan were busy conversing with the other guests.
"Xiao Fei, we were discussing your engagement with A'Chen. Do you really mean to break the engagement between the two of you?" Elder Mo asked, giving her a curious look, then glancing at the young, handsome man standing behind her.
Who hadn't heard about Su Xiaofei's childhood friend? Elder Mo didn't know why, but he felt like this young Lu Qingfeng was one of the reasons why Su Xiaofei was now breaking away from her engagement.
"Elder Mo, I feel like this would be the best for me and Brother Yuchen. In the future, he would meet a woman who can move heaven and earth just for him, it's just that woman wouldn't be me." Su Xiaofei said nonchalantly.
Elder Mo frowned but didn't say anything, while General Yun remained silent.
"After witnessing my mother's marriage crumble, I realised that marriage should not be taken lightly." Su Xiaofei added. Due to her parents' failed marriage, it was only natural for others to believe that she became wary about her future, worrying that she would suffer the same end her mother did.
"What do you think about this, General Yun?" Elder Mo wasn't willing to let the engagement be called off like this. Not when Mo Yuchen hadn't been able to stabilise himself in the company. Having the Su family and Bluemedia as his backing would surely help Golden Star flourish in the future.
"Since Xiao Fei has decided, we, the Yun family, can only respect her decision."
General Yun might sound like he didn't care about Su Xiaofei's affair, but he was actually putting the Mo family at the disadvantage.
Seeing Mo Yuchen right now, the old man somewhat understood why Su Xiaofei wanted her freedom back. Although Mo Yuchen and the Young Master Lu both had cold countenances, Mo Yuchen's pride and ambition was oozing around him.
It was so different from the cold, but peaceful aura Lu Qingfeng sported.. General Yun wasn't blind, he could see the adoration and patience of the young man towards his granddaughter.
