Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 280 - The Class Reunion (1)

Xi Qian adjusted her skirt and glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Today was their high school class reunion, and although Su Xiaofei rarely attended such events to socialize, Xi Qian was surprised that her best friend was willing to attend with her.

Su Xiaofei had no interests in reunions, so she rarely attended tem. At most, she would agree to meet up with a few acquaintances once in a while. It wasn't a secret that she didn't have many friends, nor did she like to socialize in the first place.

Right now, Su Xiaofei and Ye Mingyu were the most famous ones out of all their batch mates and most of them were expecting to see the two tonight. Xi Qian didn't doubt that they were only curious and wanted to compare their accomplishments.

However, it was obvious that this reunion would be different and Xi Qian wasn't sure if her best friend would be able to leave unscathed knowing that she was about to meet Ye Mingyu in person again.

Because it was their batch's high school reunion with over a hundred people attending, the venue would be held in a banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Qiying City. The hotel was owned by one of their batch mate's family, and some pitched in to help cover the cost of the event.

"You look stunning."

Xi Qian turned around and found Su Xiaofei joining her in the guest room she occupied. Su Xiaofei had insisted on providing the dress Xi Qian would wear and with the help of a stylist and makeup artist, Xi Qian couldn't believe that she could look as beautiful as Su Xiaofei tonight.

"Thanks!" She replied with a smile. "You look dashing though. It would be hard for anyone not to notice you tonight."

Although their clothes had been specifically prepared for tonight's event, they were too extravagant in Xi Qian's opinion. Her evening dress had a classic sweetheart neckline, its bodice filled with hints of crystals on it. It also had a high slit on her right side, showing her shapely leg.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei was wearing a navy blue high-neck halter evening gown, which could go with just about anything and work in almost every setting. With elegant appeal, this one left a lasting impression with a clean style.

The embellishments, embroidery and pearls really pop on her elegant long evening dress, making it a stunning choice for tonight's event. She had a long overcoat over it to protect her from the coldness of the night.

Since Su Xiaofei was naturally attractive to begin with, the makeup artist didn't put too much makeup on her face. Instead, the makeup artist focused on enhancing Su Xiaofei's best features and styled her hair accordingly for the occasion.

She sat off on one side and gazed at Su Xiaofei. With such a beautiful face, it wasn't surprising that many men wanted to date her and seek Su Xiaofei's hand in marriage. No wonder Lu Qingfeng had been worried that someone would sweep Su Xiaofei off her feet during his absence.

"I now regret agreeing to attend this damn reunion." Su Xiaofei said as she slightly adjusted the strap on her back, which held her dress in place around her waist.

"I would rather sleep early than see her face again." She muttered, but it couldn't be helped as Xi Qian already confirmed their attendance for their class reunion.

"We could leave early if you want." Xi Qian suggested. Indeed, she would rather spend her time reviewing her notes than to party tonight.

Su Xiaofei had changed a lot over the years, but Xi Qian thought that she was seeing a side of her best friend that she didn't know existed in the first place. Unlike their teenage years, Su Xiaofei had become a glutton despite her slim figure.

Su Xiaofei liked to try new dishes and ate with such eagerness that Xi Qian hadn't seen before. She ate fast and protected her food like a tigress, afraid that someone would steal her food.

The more Xi Qian paid attention to her best friend, the more she realized that Su Xiaofei had taken control of her life and refused to follow others' rules, which was a good thing in her opinion.

While Su Xiaofei was preoccupied, Xi Qian took a quick snap of her photo and forwarded it to Lu Qingfeng. If Lu Qingfeng was here, he would have taken the role of Su Xiaofei's escort tonight.

If this couple went out together, Xi Qian would have no doubt that she would be the third wheel again tonight. From their appearance to temperament, Xi Qian couldn't deny that the two complemented each other. Standing together, Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei would surely get a lot of attention, overshadowing others.

Ah, it's a pity Su Xiaofei didn't pursue her previous dream of becoming a celebrity, Xi Qian thought. Because if she did, Xi Qian would have no doubt that her best friend would outshine not only Ye Mingyu, but the other celebrities as well.

'Going with Feifei for tonight's reunion. Don't forget our deal.' She told the little tyrant after sending Su Xiaofei's photo.

'It's already arranged according to your request.'

Lu Qingfeng replied in an instant, which earned a scoff from Xi Qian. This little tyrant was really a simp for her best friend. She had never seen any man chasing Su Xiaofei as persistently as Lu Qingfeng had.

It wasn't like she wanted to help Lu Qingfeng, but she had been the one feeding him with updates regarding Su Xiaofei. In return, Lu Qingfeng would send her study materials she could use for her review, which had been a great help to her recently.

"I'm ready whenever you are." Su Xiaofei said as she picked up her purse, glancing in Xi Qian's way. "Let's see if Ye Mingyu grew some brain cells while she was away."

Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian arrived right on time and saw a lot of guests rushing to the banquet hall. Considering that Su Xiaofei was an heiress and the granddaughter of the affluent Yun family, she arrived with Xi Qian and the Zhang siblings as her companions for the night.

There were a lot of guards stationed around the hotel premises from different families, showing how important some of the guests were.

However, Su Xiaofei also thought that it was one way for the others to brag about what they have to the other guests, not that it bothered her one bit.

When they entered the banquet hall, she and Xi Qian found several guests already crowding around Ye Mingyu, who was obviously enjoying the attention.

"Schoolmate Ye, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You've gotten more beautiful with time." Someone praised her beauty.

Ye Mingyu lowered her gaze, looking bashful from the praise she received.

"Ah, you're getting more popular these days. When you become a film empress, don't you dare forget about us, okay?" Ye Mingyu's classmate teased her.

"Classmate Xiang is joking. There's no way I would be able to forget someone like you." Ye Mingyu said in return, a blush dusting her cheeks.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Xi Qian frowned and leaned closer to her best friend. Even now, she couldn't stand Ye Mingyu at all.

"I see Ye Mingyu remains the same. She still has three brain cells in her head, trying to compete for third place."

Su Xiaofei smirked and shook her head, leading Xi Qian away from Ye Mingyu's group.

"Since you know the truth, why are you still paying attention to her? Wouldn't that only make her happy, knowing that she could annoy you like this?"

She had always known that Ye Mingyu was a two-faced woman and a white lotus. Ye Mingyu was living for everyone's praises, wanting nothing more but to become the best in everyone's eyes.

It was because of this that Ye Mingyu had forced Su Xiaofei to become the villainess in her story. Because the more vicious Su Xiaofei became, the more Ye Mingyu would shine. However, Su Xiaofei refused to give Ye Mingyu a leverage in this lifetime. Even if Ye Mingyu forced her to play the villainess role, Su Xiaofei would make sure that Ye Mingyu would regret it.

However, even before Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian could walk away, Ye Mingyu and her group spotted them. Soon, Su Xiaofei became the center of everyone's attention.

"Hey, isn't that Su Xiaofei?"

"I thought it was just a rumor that she succeeded her mother's company. I can see that Su Xiaofei looks better now."

"Ah! What are you saying? While Ye Mingyu is now a celebrity, don't you know that Su Xiaofei is known as a star maker? I heard that Su Xiaofei manages top stars at Bluemedia and works closely with them!"

As the other guests turned their attention to Su Xiaofei, praising not only her beauty, but also her expertise in show business, the smile on Ye Mingyu's face faltered, her eyes boring on Su Xiaofei.
