Chapter 282 - The Class Reunion (3)
When Ye Mingyu came back from her studies abroad, she had been curious as to what Su Xiaofei had been up to over the past years. She couldn't believe it when one of her previous classmates told her that Su Xiaofei decided to finish her studies while proactively helping Yun Qingrong at their company.
This wasn't what Ye Mingyu had been expecting to hear at all upon her return. No wonder she didn't hear anything about Su Xiaofei's debut around the time she expected it to happen. As for what made Su Xiaofei change her mind, Ye Mingyu was still uncertain about it.
"Sister, how long do you plan to ignore me?" Ye Mingyu said with tears rimming in her eyes. How can she allow Su Xiaofei to get away unscathed at her expense?
She lifted her head arrogantly, purposely raising her voice to get everyone's attention. She then looked at Su Xiaofei as if she was certain that she had already won this round between them.
It made Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian stop in their tracks, while the others frowned at Ye Mingyu's failed attempt to humiliate Su Xiaofei. Who hadn't heard about how these two women were related?
Su Xiaofei smiled inwardly. She knew that Ye Mingyu was prideful enough that she wouldn't let another person have the last laugh. She turned around and gave Ye Mingyu a good look, noticing that she was starting to bloom beautifully like a flower, just like she did in her previous life. It was just a pity that Ye Mingyu would rather step on another person to make her look better in the eyes of others.
"Miss Ye must have been extremely busy these days. I hope you haven't forgotten to visit Papa." Su Xiaofei said with a mocking tone in her voice.
Ye Mingyu's face blanched upon hearing Su Xiaofei's words. She had been back for over a month now, and yet she hadn't paid her father a visit at the detention center at all. How could she do such a thing when she was about to debut in showbiz?
With Su Xiaofei mentioning her father in front of everyone, it was like splashing dirty water right on her face!
"I-I…" She found herself lost for words!
This was the first time she was meeting Su Xiaofei after five years. She hadn't expected that their encounter would turn out like this. How could this happen right in front of everyone? Su Xiaofei was really ruthless towards her!
Ye Mingyu almost broke down at that moment, but she tried to suppress the tears that were threatening to burst at any moment.
Su Xiaofei found it funny that Ye Mingyu now looked like she was the one being bullied by her. Wasn't Ye Mingyu the one who tried to provoke her? So why was she pretending to be the victim now?
"Su Xiaofei, h-how could you? You are ruthless!"
"Is that a compliment, Miss Ye? If there's someone who is ruthless here, I think it is you. Papa must have been missing you all these years, but you didn't even bother to pay him a visit. Is there something else Miss Ye needs from me? If there's nothing else, please excuse us. We still have yet to greet the other guests tonight." She continued, leaving Ye Mingyu and taking Xi Qian along with her.
However, Xi Qian didn't forget to add fuel to the fire by mocking Ye Mingyu.
"She must be sick in her mind if she thinks that she could be your sister. What kind of sister would she be if you accepted her? She might not only steal from you, but also seduce your man later like her mother did."
Everyone fell silent during their conversation before someone burst into a round of laughter, which was followed by an uproar. They all heard the subtle mockery in Su Xiaofei's tone, and they didn't need to think too hard to know that Ye Mingyu was the one who brought it upon herself.
How dare Ye Mingyu think that she could be arrogant in front of them after earning a little popularity? Compared to them, she was still a commoner with no money or status to her name.
Sure, Su Xiaofei's words were blunt and arrogant, but she was merely turning the tables against Ye Mingyu after the latter tried to drag her into the mud to humiliate her.
"Seriously? She's just a mistress's daughter, and yet she has such a princess syndrome, thinking that she's above all of us? Ye Mingyu might have not realized that it's easy for Su Xiaofei to obstruct her career, given that she has networks in the industry." Someone commented.
"She used to be stupid, trying to provoke Su Xiaofei every time. I thought she changed, but I didn't expect her to remain stupid after all these years."
A discussion erupted after they heard the encounter between Su Xiaofei and Ye Mingyu.
"What's more ridiculous is for her to keep trying to put Su Xiaofei in an awkward situation. Su Xiaofei already made it clear that she didn't consider Ye Mingyu as her sister, but she kept insisting that they are related to each other."
"Su Xiaofei doesn't have anything to do with Ye Mingyu now that her parents are already divorced. Why couldn't Ye Mingyu just respect that Su Xiaofei didn't want a sister like her?"
Someone chuckled in the crowd upon hearing those words.
They weren't fools. They could see why Ye Mingyu was trying to establish a sisterhood between her and Su Xiaofei, regardless if they didn't share the same mother.
"It's obvious that Ye Mingyu wants to be acquainted with Su Xiaofei to gain advantage in her career. With Su Xiaofei's network and resources, wouldn't that mean that she also had a way to make Ye Mingyu a Queen?"
"Ha! As if Su Xiaofei would do such a thing for Ye Mingyu.. She must be insane if she paved the way for her father's bastard."
