Chapter 498 Two Sides Of The Same Coin (2)

Su Xiaofei would be lying if she said that she wasn't grateful for what Bai Qingyue did. No matter what her birth mother's intentions were, it wouldn't change the fact that she had saved Yun Qingrong's life. The bitterness she felt for Bai Qingyue somewhat diminished, but it wasn't enough for her to forget the pain of betrayal she suffered in the past due to her own mother.

She wanted to think that Bai Qingyue did it to make it up to her, but she couldn't trust her at all. Not when Bai Qingyue still chose her career and reputation over her for the second time. It hurts to know that she cannot be Bai Qingyue's priority.

Perhaps she was foolish to expect that her birth mother would change in this lifetime. While she was certain of how Qiao Fengying felt for her, it was just impossible for Su Xiaofei to believe Bai Qingyue's words and take them at face value.

Maybe this was for the better. Su Xiaofei thought. At least after this, she and Bai Qingyue wouldn't have anything to do with each other anymore and her mother wouldn't be able to betray and hurt her this way.

The urge to cry was so strong, but she kept her tears at bay as she returned to the waiting room with Xi Qian. She ignored the worried gazes she was receiving from the Yun family and remained silent on her seat. She focused on her mother's recovery rather than thinking about what Bai Qingyue did for her.

"How are you feeling, Feifei?" Xi Qian asked. After her outburst earlier, Su Xiaofei had no doubt her best friend was worried about her.

"I can manage, Qian. I'll be alright as long as I can have my mother back." She replied, implying that she only needed Yun Qingrong to be okay now and that Bai Qingyue was of no importance to her.

Xi Qian nodded and said no more. After what transpired during their meeting with Bai Qingyue, she had no doubt that Su Xiaofei was trying to convince herself that she wasn't affected by what Bai Qingyue said earlier.

An hour later, Lu Qingfeng came back with the Qiao family. The moment Su Xiaofei saw her father, she immediately rose from her seat and embraced him, much to Qiao Fengying's shock. She had never initiated a physical contact like this before, and he could only look at Lu Qingfeng, surprise evident on his face.

"We heard the news. We came as soon as we could. How is she doing?" He asked his daughter.

"We haven't heard any updates from the doctors yet."

It was Yun Yuanzhi who answered Qiao Fengying's question, given how distressed Su Xiaofei was this time. The whole family was already informed about Qiao Fengying's status as Su Xiaofei's real father. They also knew about Bai Qingyue's relationship with the two, but they had no comment over the matter.

"We appreciate you coming here for support, Mr. Qiao." Yun Yuanzhi continued as he shook hands with Qiao Fengying, while the latter kept an arm around his daughter.

"How can we not be here when Miss Yun and Feifei need us? Lu Qingfeng kept us updated with what's happening, and I'm glad that you were able to find a match for Miss Yun."

"What's the matter, Xiaofei?" He asked Su Xiaofei when he felt her shiver under his touch. He brushed a piece of hair away from Su Xiaofei's face, and placed it behind her ear.

"I need to have a word with you. Pleaseā€¦" Su Xiaofei said in a tone that made Qiao Fengying worry. He had never seen her act like this before.

"Alright." He replied, giving his wife a knowing look.

Liu Shulan nodded in understanding. She and Qiao Yuhan went and sat next to Xi Qian and waited with the rest of the Yun family. Whatever Su Xiaofei was about to tell him, he would tell Liu Shulan later. Thankfully, his wife understood him well and didn't make a fuss when it came to dealing with his daughter.

Su Xiaofei led her father to a deserted hallway, with Lu Qingfeng accompanying them.

"Xiaofei, what's going on?" Qiao Fengying asked. He could sense that even though Yun Qingrong received the organs she needed, his daughter was still somehow disturbed.

"She's here. My mother." Su Xiaofei said, looking him straight in the eyes. She would rather tell him this than let him hear about the identity of the donor from others.

Qiao Fengying opened his mouth to ask what she meant by that, but seeing her eyes, he knew at once that she wasn't talking about Yun Qingrong. He clenched his jaws and remained calm. He hadn't mentioned anything about Bai Qingyue, but his daughter and son-in-law were smart enough to figure out the identity of her real mother on their own.

"Bai Qingyue is here, and she was the one who donated the organs for my Mama." Su Xiaofei explained. She was still having conflicted feelings over this fact.

Qiao Fengying thought that there was nothing else that could surprise him at this point, despite how mistaken he was. He couldn't believe what he was hearing right then and there. Did Bai Qingyue really do it?

"She did?" He asked, making sure he wasn't hearing things. He then glanced at Lu Qingfeng who gave him a curt nod in affirmation of what Su Xiaofei had just said.

"We met her earlier. I'm not really sure why she did it. She might regret it later." His daughter continued to explain. "She asked me to keep our relationship with each other a secret from the public. I guess her career and reputation are far more important for her." She shrugged, as if what Bai Qingyue said earlier didn't affect her at all.

Qiao Fengying stared at his daughter. While Su Xiaofei spoke about her mother nonchalantly, he could see it in her eyes that she was disappointed with Bai Qingyue. Not that he would ever blame her for that.
