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

Chapter 488 Heartless (2)

The news of Yun Qingrong's illness was all over the news. It's been three days since the news broke out, but neither Bluemedia nor the Yun family had made an official statement about it. It was still business as usual at Bluemedia, although there were some reporters who'd been camping outside, wanting to see if they could get an exclusive interview from Su Xiaofei.

Rumors about her being Qiao Fengying's mistress had started to circulate around as photos of her dining with her father were posted online, earning criticisms from many people. Her relationship with Mo Yuchen and her seemingly 'budding' romance with her childhood friend, Lu Qingfeng, was also thrown into the spotlight.

Bluemedia was able to suppress it at once, but that wasn't enough to stop the netizens from slandering Su Xiaofei's name and saying that she was no better than her half-sister, Ye Mingyu.

Lu Qingfeng only scoffed at the unfounded rumors and called them foolish. He wasn't affected one bit by the rumors, but he hated it when people badmouth his wife, no matter which lifetime he was living.

"Find out who is foolish enough to start these rumors." He told Miss Katarina, who only nodded and left without a word after delivering her report.

However, it seemed like the reporters weren't the only ones looking for Su Xiaofei at that moment. At the hospital where Yun Qingrong was admitted, Bai Qingyue sneaked in late at night and tried to snoop around for some information about what was going on in Su Xiaofei's family.

She ended up at the oncology department where Yun Zhaonan and his wife, Yan Mei were. They were seated on a bench in the hallway as they waited outside for the doctor's arrival.

"They still couldn't find a compatible donor, did they?" Bai Qingyue heard Yan Mei ask.

She kept a safe distance and kept her disguise in place, not wanting to get unnecessary from other people. She leaned her back against the wall and pretended to be busy with her phone.

"No. Even Lu Qingfeng is having a hard time finding one." Yun Zhaonan said dejectedly.

Bai Qingyue cast him a side glance, taking in his appearance. His shoulder slumped, looking haggard next to his wife. "This is so messed up. Dad is also bedridden because of this."

It was obvious that shit had just hit the fan for the Yun family, but Bai Qingyue still hadn't heard of any news about Su Xiaofei. As if answering her unspoken question, Yun Zhaonan continued.

"It's been hard for the family, but Feifei is the one suffering the most out of all of us. She hasn't left Qing'er's side from the moment she and Lu Qingfeng returned from Shenjing. I'm worried that she will fall sick after this."

Yan Mei agreed with him. Their family was also looking everywhere for an O-negative blood type that would  be willing to donate a part of their organs to Yun Qingrong.

"She doesn't deserve this. None of us are a match, and it frustrates her to no end. She's clearly devastated by the news. Whenever she thought no one was looking, she would cry on her own."

Bai Qingyue inwardly flinched at that. Silence lingered as the married couple only held each other's hand to comfort one another. She decided to leave to give them the privacy they needed. However, just as she was about to leave the hospital, she found the person she was looking for taking the stairs up, going somewhere.

She considered for a moment and decided to come after Su Xiaofei. She wasn't sure why she wanted to see her, but it bothered her to know that Su Xiaofei was crying alone. As soon as she locked the door behind her at the rooftop, Bai Qingyue didn't expect that she would come face to face with Su Xiaofei.

"What are you doing here?" Su Xiaofei said coldly. Her eyes were red and slightly swollen from her crying. "Why are you following me?"

Bai Qingyue cocked her head to one side. How did Su Xiaofei know? Had her cover been blown without her noticing?

The night breeze was freezing cold, but it was incomparable to the coldness in Su Xiaofei's eyes. She was looking at her mother with an unconcealed annoyance and animosity at the same time.

"I saw you eavesdropping on my uncle and aunt's conversation. Did Mo Yuchen send you here to cause trouble?" The younger woman asked with a hint of accusation in her tone.

"Of course not!" Bai Qingyue denied at once. "I'm not that heartless—"

Su Xiaofei's sneered at that. She couldn't accept this woman as her mother.

"You want me to believe such nonsense, Miss Bai? It hasn't been too long since your manager schemed against me and Miss Tang. You aren't heartless, you say? Not heartless to what? Wasn't it heartless to abandon your own daughter?" She said, her eyes filled with disgust.

Bai Qingyue's eyes widened in shock. There weren't many people who knew her darkest secret. Not anyone was aware that she had given birth to a child more than twenty years ago.

"How did you know about that?!"

"How could I not recognize my own mother?" Su Xiaofei scoffed, but her face showed that she was tired and not in a good mood.

The actress fell silent and stared at Su Xiaofei with her lips pressed together in a thin line.

"What? No words to defend yourself now, Miss Bai?"

Bai Qingyue then understood, right then and there, why she had sought Su Xiaofei and been having these weird feelings towards her from the moment she met this young woman years ago. She removed her wig, allowing her long black hair to tumble down her back. Facing Su Xiaofei like this, if one looked at them closely, they could see the striking resemblance of the two women.

"So I ask you again, what are you doing here, mother?" Su Xiaofei said the last word with a heavy emphasis.
