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

Chapter 624 Back In Action (2)

Su Xiaofei said nothing and merely looked at her birth mother, thinking that none of them could really get away from each other's lives. Would this be the kind of relationship the two of them would have if things didn't spiral down in her previous life? Alas, it was useless to ponder what could have been. Perhaps, this was easier than trying to undermine each other.

"Stop patronizing me, Miss Bai. Is there something that you need from me?" Su Xiaofei couldn't wait for her husband to return. It wasn't like she was uncomfortable having her birth mother nearby, but she was feeling uncertain having her here.

Bai Qingyue took a deep breath and shook her head, thinking that Su Xiaofei was still wary of her. Even she couldn't explain the need to see her. When she heard the news that Su Xiaofei had woken up, she came here in a rush this morning. However, now that she had seen her daughter awake and well, she felt lost, not knowing what to do next.

"There's no other reason. I just came here to see you." She shrugged, knowing that it would be pointless to lie to her daughter now. "You aren't planning to return to work soon, right?"

She could still remember how she struggled to keep up with her work after she gave birth and left her daughter. It hadn't been easy to work long hours when her body just barely recovered from childbirth.

"No. Not so soon. My daughters need me." Su Xiaofei replied. Unlike her birth mother, she would always prioritize her children before others. It wasn't like she needed to go back to Bluemedia when there weren't any pressing matters that needed her immediate attention.

"You aren't worried about what Ye Mingyu will do now?" Bai Qingyue pressed.

"Should I be?" Her daughter chuckled. "From the moment she thought that she bested me by poisoning me, it was the start of her downfall. There's no need to be hasty when I already laid the grave for her to lie in."

"You're confident that she will willingly fall into your trap?"

Su Xiaofei lowered her head. Now that she had a clearer mind, she knew that Ye Mingyu only managed to harm her because she had lost the will to seek revenge. Not only did she halt her takeover plan of Golden Star, but she became wary when the Ye Mingyu of this lifetime started to act like the Ye Mingyu of her previous life.

However, now, she realized that she'd been worrying for nothing. Ye Mingyu claimed that she wanted to take her place, but how would that be possible? Ye Mingyu might be able to lure Han Yize to help her, but compared to her, Su Xiaofei had every resource she could use at her disposal.

How could a mere starlet dare to beat a president of a huge entertainment agency anyway? Not only was Su Xiaofei able to suppress Ye Mingyu's career, but she could also shadowban her from auditions and possible endorsements. It would be laughable and sound foolish if she couldn't crush Ye Mingyu with her current ability.

She wasn't a mere B-rated actress who relied on her mother's influence anymore. Now, she was building a massive empire, accumulating her own connection and resources to use at will. Ye Mingyu might have changed her Money Boss, but it was still nothing compared to having Lu Qingfeng next to Su Xiaofei.

"Then I hope you are right. Guess I'm worrying for nothing." She heard her birth mother sigh.

Su Xiaofei raised a brow at her. "Are you still worried that the public will find out about us?"

"No." Bai Qingyue immediately responded. "I wouldn't worry about that anymore. I trust that you would be able to keep any news about it from the media."

"You trust me that much, now?" Su Xiaofei hummed, looking at her birth mother, amused. Back when she had just been reborn, this kind of conversation and interaction with the woman who gave birth to her was unimaginable.

Bai Qingyue shrugged before standing up, clutching her purse and tucking some stray hair behind her ear.

"You've proven how competent you are. Do you know that Golden Star is having an internal conflict now because of you? There were some who think Mo Yuchen had made a grave mistake when he agreed to dissolve the engagement between the two of you."

"Does it matter?" Su Xiaofei yawned behind her hand sleepily. "It's his fault for being greedy and foolish, but I guess it's normal for humans like us. Mo Yuchen would need to learn from it."

"You speak as if you've lived several lifetimes." Her mother laughed. "Anyway, that's right. He should own up to his own mistakes and learn from them."

When Lu Qingfeng returned, Bai Qingyue was already gone and his wife was dozing off again. Zhang Ling came to deliver the reports that her mistress might need to review once Su Xiaofei woke up, then Xi Qian arrived with Li Xiran to visit her.

"Did we come too early?" Xi Qian asked, as she shed her outer coat and hung it on the rack.

"No, Feifei just dozed off after meeting Ms. Bai earlier. Aren't you two supposed to be back in Guangshang now?" Lu Qingfeng responded.

Xi Qian smiled a little, trying to suppress the blush on her face.

"Qian just wants to stay a little longer here in Shenjing to see her nieces. We'll go back this weekend." Li Xiran replied instead of her. He could sense that Xi Qian had been completely enamored by Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng's daughters.

"What? I'm just making sure that Feifei and the girls are fine. Brother Han also gave his go-signal and allowed Feifei to be discharged." Xi Qian said in defense. She had been relieved when her best friend woke up. Honestly speaking, she had been worried when Su Xiaofei didn't wake up for two weeks after the medicines and treatments stopped.

When Su Xiaofei woke up two hours later, she had a small meal and went to see her daughters again with Xi Qian. Xi Qian took the elder twin and gently placed her in Su Xiaofei's arms.

Su Xiaofei felt that her daughters were too small and breakable. She held Qianyue with such cautiousness that made Xi Qian smile.

"It's alright, Feifei. Just make sure to support her head and back properly. Isn't she beautiful?" She murmured, eyeing the small baby in Su Xiaofei's arms.

"What can I say? Lu Qingfeng and I make beautiful babies." Su Xiaofei agreed with her best friend, gently taking in her sleeping daughter's appearance. "I think she got an equal share of A-Feng and my best features. She'll be a real beauty once she grows up."

"Lu Qingfeng should be worried then." Xi Qian chuckled. "If these two grow up to be as beautiful as you, he needs to prepare to drive the flock away from them. No doubt these two will be a handful."

"That's fine. There are many people who love them anyway. I'm sure they didn't need to worry about being loved or not. I hope that they wouldn't doubt themselves because of how others perceive them to be. They aren't just the Lu family's heiresses or President Su's successors, they are our most precious children." Su Xiaofei said, filled with love.

Xi Qian looked at her friend and her niece, smiling as she noticed how at peace and happy Su Xiaofei was. She was really glad that she was able to help Han Zijun throughout these past months and took care of Su Xiaofei herself.

"How are you doing in med school anyway? I bet it's been hard traveling back and forth just to visit us." Su Xiaofei asked, her eyes clearly teasing Xi Qian. "Isn't Li Xiran causing you any trouble?"

Xi Qian cleared her throat and looked away.  No one could really blame her if she admit that the twins had already got her wrapped around their fingers.

"Initially, it had been hard for us." She admitted. "With our conflicting schedules, it was hard to see each other and we could only talk through phone calls at the end of the day. We decided to move in together when he disagreed to break up with me."

That instantly caught Su Xiaofei's attention. She hadn't thought that Xi Qian would consider leaving Li Xiran this early, just when things were starting to fall in place for the two of them.

"Why would you ask him to break up with you? Are you still worried about what people would say about you being with him?" Su Xiaofei knew that her friend was a bit sensitive when it came to their social standing. "You are my friend. It shouldn't have mattered if you and Li Xiran are doing well together. Did his family disapprove of you?"

Xi Qian laughed. "You misunderstood, Feifei. Xiran and I won't break up over such trivial matters."
