Chapter 552 A Glimpse Of The Past (1)
Was it a coincidence or were her instincts on point all this while? Su Xiaofei wondered.
From the moment she sat in the backseat of the car with her mother next to her, her phone beeped, notifying her of a new message. Su Xiaofei pulled it out of the pocket of her coat, her eyes narrowing slightly seeing the name of the sender.
Yun Xiang.
'Speaking of the devil.' She thought.
Wasn't it just an hour ago when her mother asked her about Yun Xiang's whereabouts? Su Xiaofei wouldn't be surprised if she was the only one Yun Xiang tried to reach. This only meant that her husband's assumptions about her cousin were right and Yun Xiang would try to instill trouble between them.
She pondered for a moment whether she should read his message or not. After weeks of his disappearance, this was the first time Yun Xiang had 'appeared'.
Opening his message, there was only an address indicated on it and a small note that she should come alone. Su Xiaofei raised a brow and locked her phone, choosing to ignore him. How dare he think that she would listen to what he would say? Did he expect her to come running to him without a question?
"Are you nervous? Don't be. They wouldn't dare to find fault with you. I heard from Fang Yi that you are doing remarkable work at the company. More projects for the artists are coming in because of your hard work. I heard Full Moon's first major concert's tickets were sold out from the first day it was released. I cannot wait to see what other changes you have made in the company." Yun Qingrong said with a hint of pride in her eyes.
Su Xiaofei flushed from her mother's words. It had only been a few months since she took over her mother's place at the company and it had been hard for her to adjust. She had been working nonstop despite the difficulties to balance her work and personal life and she was aware that it was also affecting her married life with Lu Qingfeng.
"I'm actually planning to hand over Full Moon's and Tang Liyan's management to Zhao Yi." She told her mother.
"Why? Is there a problem?" Her mother looked at her in surprise.
Yun Qingrong knew that her daughter had been taking care of Tang Liyan and monitoring her career from the very start and Full Moon's career, which had barely just started. Could her daughter afford to pass the obligation to someone else?
"I want to spend more time with A-Feng. I wouldn't be able to do that if I don't reduce my workload and I'm sure Zhao Yi would be more than willing to take over their management.
"So you'll only keep Miss Xiao's management?"
"Yes." Su Xiaofei smiled at her mother. "She would only drive Zhao Yi crazy and since I made a promise to her, I intend to see our deal to the end."
Since she promised to make Xiao Rufeng a queen, she couldn't possibly hand over her management to her previous manager. While Su Xiaofei knew that Zhao Yi was a capable manager, she also knew that she wouldn't be able to fully understand Xiao Rufeng, especially now that the actress was romantically involved with one of Lu Qingfeng's brothers.
This only meant that she needed to make sure that Xiao Rufeng's affairs would be kept private, not unless the two decided to make it public. However, Su Xiaofei believed that it wasn't the right time.
"Well, if that's what you want, I don't see why you shouldn't." Her mother commented. "But I'm happy to know that you are prioritizing your life with Xiao Feng. Have you considered moving out and living together on your own? I wouldn't be surprised if Xiao Feng would want it."
Su Xiaofei's eyes widened at that. While she and Lu Qingfeng hadn't talked about their living arrangement just yet, she knew that they were bound to live separately from her mother.
"I suppose you haven't." Her mother smiled at her knowingly, "but the two of you should reconsider. You don't need to worry about me. I have caused enough worry in your marriage and I don't want to become the reason for any misunderstandings. You are husband and wife, and while it's true that you've known each other since you were younger, marriage would change your perception of him once you are living with him."
Su Xiaofei stared at her mother, wondering if she was saying this based on experience. How long had Yun Qingrong seen through Su Haoran's lie? She wondered. Yun Qingrong had defied her own father just to marry the man she thought loved and cared for her. It must have been hard for her mother to know that she made the wrong choice by being with him.
Well, not like she was any different from her mother. She needed to experience several betrayals and eventually death before she realized her mistakes. If she wasn't reborn and met everyone again in this life, Su Xiaofei would surely bring her deep grievances and resentments to the afterlife.
"I can leave the house and move back to my father's home. Now that I have been given the chance to live longer, I want to spend more time with him and take care of him." Yun Qingrong gave her a warm smile, something that Su Xiaofei had missed for weeks while her mother was in a coma. "We have made so many wonderful memories at home and I want you and Xiao Feng to make memories with your own family."
"Thanks, Mama." She replied, wounding her arm around Yun Qingrong's arm and rested the side of her face on her mother's arm. "I'm really happy that you're here with me."
Su Xiaofei had almost lost hope of being with her mother again. However, this only reminded her that helping Bai Qingyue to retain her role was still not enough to repay the favor she had done for them.
