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

Chapter 473 Golden Cage (1)

The ball was in Qin Ying's court now. Su Xiaofei omitted the part that she and Lu Qingfeng were already married because she didn't want to be accused of bullying her by making her cry.

Still, she was already kind enough to make it clear to the other woman that Lu Qingfeng was already off limits. She could only hope that Qin Ying was smart enough not to oppose her this time.

Qin Ying pondered silently for a long time. She was aware of Su Xiaofei's reputation and knew that between them, Lu Qingfeng was inclined to believe whatever Su Xiaofei would tell him. She excused herself, leaving Su Xiaofei on her own.

No one dared to bother her after Qin Ying left, and Su Xiaofei decided to scroll through some entertainment news and the latest gossip on her phone while waiting for her husband's return. The trend in the entertainment industry changed rapidly and those who cannot keep up with it would eventually lose their shine and be replaced with the new ones.

Currently, Top Tier Entertainment had the largest film production in the country, and this was why Su Xiaofei couldn't easily shrug off President Ouyang's request for a possible collaboration with Bluemedia.

After them, the Mo family's Golden Star Entertainment had produced the most popular stars in the next three years. Su Xiaofei wanted to change that and snatch Mo Yuchen's thunder before he could get a hand on those celebrities.

It could be said that right now, those companies controlled the largest market share of the entertainment circle and Bluemedia was still falling behind. Su Xiaofei knew this and while Tang Liyan was steadily keeping up with her "Queen" status, Xiao Rufeng would need a few more years before she could reach that level.

From the memory of her previous life, after Top Tier Entertainment helped Ye Mingyu become popular, she didn't sign for a renewal of her contract with them and moved to Golden Star instead.

In just two years, Golden Star would grow rapidly and would eventually catch up with Top Tier Entertainment. This was made possible by her, of course. Because she had foolishly handed over her mother's company to Mo Yuchen for him to manage, only to be swallowed whole by Golden Star.

The memory left bitterness in Su Xiaofei's mouth. In this life, she would make sure that neither Mo Yuchen nor Ye Mingyu would be able to get what they wanted. She would protect Bluemedia and her mother's legacy with all of her might, regardless of how hard it would be.

However, before she could act on it, she needed to take care of her mother first. She cannot just focus her attention at work, as it would be useless if she would lose her mother for the second time.

She sighed and locked the screen of her phone, only to find out that she was earning a lot of stares from Lu Qingfeng's other female relatives. Most of them were already past their forties, and she couldn't help but notice that there weren't many from the younger generations in the Lu family.

"You are Su Xiaofei, right? You are quite famous, aren't you?"

A woman around her late twenties came and greeted Su Xiaofei. Unlike the other madams here, she looked friendly, and her eyes didn't have any disdain and scrutiny others were throwing her way.

"Oh, my bad. I haven't introduced myself, have I?" She smiled at Su Xiaofei and extended a hand. "I'm Lu Jinglin. I'm a fan of yours."

Su Xiaofei's brows shot up in surprise. This was unexpected to hear from a relative of her husband. Out of courtesy, she accepted Lu Jinglin's hand and gave it a firm shake.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lu." She replied.

"Do you mind if I join you here? It seems to me that I'm not the only one unwanted here." Lu Jinglin replied and sat next to Su Xiaofei even before the latter could respond to her question.

"How so?" Su Xiaofei asked, unbothered by the fact that Lu Jinglin had decided to accompany her tonight. It was better than being looked upon by others as if she was a piece of ornament to be admired or scrutinized. She could also see that the other members of the Lu family were shooting Lu Jinglin with a disapproving look.

"Let's just say that I'm being considered as the black sheep of the family. I ruined my father's plan to marry me off to some unknown bastard." Lu Jinglin laughed as if she couldn't be bothered by what others thought of her.

"And I can see that Qingfeng has done the same." At this, Lu Jinglin's voice lowered considerably, as if she was whispering a secret to Su Xiaofei. "Married you the first chance he got, didn't he?"

Su Xiaofei's eyes widened, but recovered from her shock immediately after.

"Don't worry. I won't spoil the fun. I like seeing my father annoyed. He would surely throw a massive fit if she knew that Qingfeng and you are already married. You see, he brought that woman to convince the Chairman to set an engagement between her and Qingfeng." Lu Jinglin chuckled, before taking a sip from her flute of champagne.

Su Xiaofei stared at this woman. Like the rest of the Lu family, her sharp features and high nose were distinct. Lu Jinglin also had a pair of dark eyes that if one had to stare at it for too long, it would make them uncomfortable, because all they would see was a void of nothingness in them.

"Are you doing this to spite your father?" She asked in response.

"You could say that." Lu Jinglin nodded. "Dad couldn't think of anything other than taking over the family business when it's already proven that he isn't capable of managing it. Qingfeng would do a better job than him. Do you know how ashamed I am as his daughter? I couldn't stand him at all." Lu Jinglin confessed.
