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

Chapter 443 Regret Can Be A Greater Force Than Gratitude (2)

Bai Qingyue stared at him as if he had just lost his mind. She briefly thought that indeed, the rumors about Mo Yuchen's sudden change had been true after all. Something about him was different compared to the last time she had met with him, during the collaboration project she had done with Tang Liyan for Bellisima.

If before, Mo Yuchen wanted to destroy Su Xiaofei, now, he wanted to possess her again, which Bai Qingyue found appalling, considering that he had never truly cared about anyone else aside from himself.

How did she know? Of course it was for the reason that she was able to see herself in him. Ambitious people like them would sacrifice and would give up on anything just to get what they wanted.

Hadn't she done the same thing when she abandoned her own child years ago? It hadn't been easy, but she wouldn't have reached where she was now if she hadn't given up the child. Still, Bai Qingyue would be lying to herself if she claimed that she had already forgotten about the baby, because it still haunts her at night and she hated that she couldn't get rid of the nightmares.

"The schedule for the filming will be emailed to you soon. We just need to confirm Tang Liyan's availability before we can proceed." She heard Mo Yuchen say and saw his face with a grim expression on it.

Bai Qingyue scoffed and shook her head. She would never understand what caused this man's sudden change and she wouldn't have cooperated with him if she wasn't interested in Su Xiaofei. The young woman's existence bothered her. From the moment she met Su Xiaofei, she hadn't been able to pull her thoughts away from her.

"Do you still want me to cause trouble for Tang Liyan and Miss Su?" She asked Mo Yuchen, wanting to know if his resolve to destroy Su Xiaofei remained or if he had really changed for the better, or perhaps he was trying to lure Su Xiaofei back to him so he would be able to take over Bluemedia easily.

It was obvious though that Su Xiaofei had nothing to do with him anymore and had already moved on with her life after their engagement was canceled.

"No." The man replied without batting an eyelid. "You won't need to do such a thing. Su Xiaofei would surely not let you off the hook the next time."

Mo Yuchen hadn't forgotten the rage he had seen in Su Xiaofei's eyes when she confronted him about Bai Qingyue's manager. He also knew that she was a person who held grudges.

Suddenly, Mo Yuchen's assistant came rushing inside the room, looking pale as he looked at Mo Yuchen. The two turned their heads in his direction, wondering what had made him act like this.

"What is it?" Mo Yuchen asked with annoyance. It was unusual for his assistant to barge in the middle of his meeting like this.

"CEO Mo, there was an accident at the project in Shenjing. Your father wants you to go there as soon as possible." His assistant replied, clutching a phone in his hands.

Mo Yuchen couldn't stop a curse from leaving his mouth. He stood up, opening his palm towards his assistant to get the phone. He glanced at Bai Qingyue and sighed.

"Our meeting ends here." He said. "You can inform your concerns over the script to the director once they hand it to you. I wouldn't be able to demand for more exposure."

He didn't wait for Bai Qingyue to reply and left at once with his assistant. Mo Yuchen knew how demanding his father could be and he disliked that the old man was still imposing his dominance towards him even in this lifetime.

Bai Qingyue rose from her seat, knowing that Mo Yuchen didn't have time to entertain her any longer. However, just as she picked up her handbag from the coffee table, something on Mo Yuchen's desk took her attention. There was a stack of paper left on his table, but there were also papers that were carelessly set aside.

She scoffed when she saw a picture of Su Xiaofei peeking through the pile. She sauntered towards the desk and pulled out the paper, revealing Su Xiaofei dressed in an immaculate white wedding dress, holding a bouquet of flowers as she stood beside a young and handsome man.

She got married?! No wonder Mo Yuchen looked pissed off earlier. Nothing had gone according to his plans so far.

Bai Qingyue's hands shook, her eyes widened in surprise. She recognized the man next to Su Xiaofei as she had seen them together years ago. It was just that she was surprised that they decided to get married so soon, when people their age would prioritize their careers and making money rather than starting a family. She supposed that money was the least of Su Xiaofei's priorities and it seemed like her young husband was capable of providing for her needs anyway.

Bai Qingyue scowled at the thought, thinking that the young woman was too lucky to worry about such problems in marriage. Not anyone could easily snag a wealthy husband who could sustain the lifestyle she was used to.

When she got pregnant with Qiao Fengying's child, he hadn't made a name for himself yet and couldn't even pay his rent on time. Who would have thought that a decade later, he would become one of the most popular self-made millionaires in the country?

Bai Qingyue thought that if she hadn't gotten pregnant too early, she and Qiao Fengying wouldn't break up and they would still be together to this day. For the longest time, she blamed the child for ruining her future with him rather than owning up to her mistakes. Alas, there was no point in wondering about 'what-if' because they were both out of each other's life and married to another person.

Su Xiaofei looked genuinely happy on her wedding day, which Bai Qingyue found unusual. Whenever she met Su Xiaofei, the young woman would always have a stoic mask and polite smile on her face.

Just as she thought she had seen enough, another photo grabbed her attention. She picked it up and saw that the newlywed couple weren't the only ones in it.

Her eyes widened in recognition, seeing Qiao Fengying standing on Su Xiaofei's right side. Bai Qingyue hadn't seen in ages, but it was impossible for her not to recognize him and his wife after seeing them in several published magazines before.

'How is this even possible?!' She thought.

Did Qiao Fengying manage to find their daughter after all these years and it was Su Xiaofei? If before, her mind was refusing to accept the possibility of Su Xiaofei being her daughter, seeing the young woman with Qiao Fengying managed to change her mind.

Bai Qingyue had always felt that something about the young woman was familiar, and if Su Xiaofei was really the child she abandoned so many years ago, it made sense why she was harboring such feelings towards her.

She returned the photos to its previous position and left Mo Yuchen's office at once, her mind spiraling with several thoughts about the possibility of Su Xiaofei being her daughter. What could this mean for her? Bai Qingyue wondered.

If the public found out that she had abandoned her own child to pursue her career, Bai Qingyue had no doubt that she would receive a harsh backlash from everyone. It might not only cost her marriage and reputation, and it could also ruin her for good.

She wondered if Su Xiaofei already knew the truth about her. Did Qiao Fengying tell her that she was her mother? Would Su Xiaofei take it against her and hate her after knowing what she'd done?

'Damn it.' She cursed, having a hard time to calm down.

Bai Qingyue walked past the reception area and went straight to the elevator, ignoring the curious looks she was receiving from Mo Yuchen's secretaries. She couldn't be bothered by what they thought of her at the moment.

If Su Xiaofei held a grudge towards her, she might use her position as the CEO of Bluemedia Entertainment to make her life miserable. It would have been better if Su Xiaofei wasn't working in showbiz like her, because Bai Qingyue would have no doubt that many would be able to see the resemblance between them.

No, Su Xiaofei and Qiao Fengying hadn't made any announcement in public yet. There might be a possibility that they knew each other through a mutual friend. However, considering that the Qiao family was at Su Xiaofei's wedding only meant that Qiao Fengying was close with her and her family.

Bai Qingyue grimaced at the thought. She would need to be careful in the future. Heck, maybe she should avoid meeting Su Xiaofei at all, just in case, but this didn't mean she wouldn't do anything to protect herself.
