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

Chapter 101 - You Look Like You’ve Seen A Ghost (1)

That effectively pulled Qiao Fengying out of his trance. He was thankful that Lu Qingfeng was there to mediate the conversation between them, as he didn't know what to say to this young woman, who looked strikingly like his past lover.

"Ah, please have a seat. I'm sorry to keep you waiting." He gestured his hand towards the three and joined them at the table with his wife.

Qiao Fengying tried to avoid meeting her gaze as he chose to speak with Lu Qingfeng first. Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng was polite enough to answer his questions, but he was aware that he couldn't ignore Su Xiaofei and her friend for too long. They were also his family's guests, after all.

"So, Miss Su, have you been living in Qiying City since you were born?" He asked, as he gently probed about her background. He would rather find out the answers by himself than risk investigating her. It didn't seem like she was a commoner, based on her mannerisms and how she was dressed today.

Su Xiaofei was wearing a plain white shirt with a red jacket and a pair of light denim pants. Her feet were enclosed in a pair of white sneakers. Her clothes looked typical, but Qiao Fengying could tell that the brands of her clothes were expensive.

"Actually, yes. Qiying City is my hometown, Mr. Qiao. This is where I grew up with Xiao Feng and Qian." Su Xiaofei smiled politely at him.

If she wasn't a B-list actress in her past life, Su Xiaofei wouldn't have been able to pretend that she was unperturbed by this sudden meeting with her father.

"I see." Qiao Fengying nodded, while Liu Shulan looked between him and Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei tilted her head to one side. It wasn't hard to know what Liu Shulan was thinking of at the moment.

"Madam, is there something wrong with my face? I noticed that ever since we met this afternoon, you look like you've seen a ghost." She asked, startling the older woman.

"No… I… It's just…" Liu Shulan stuttered and looked at her husband. She then took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Yeah, actually, it just hit me that you look like Miss Bai." She laughed awkwardly.

"Miss Bai? Madam, do you mean Bai Qingyue?" Su Xiaofei asked, feigning innocence.

"Oh? You don't look surprised." Qiao Fengying glanced at her after taking a sip from his drink.

"No, actually, my friend here just told me earlier that whenever she sees Miss Bai on TV, she can't help but think that we look alike. It was my first time hearing such a compliment and being compared to Miss Bai on top of that."

"Feifei, I thought you said not to mention it again?" Xi Qian flushed in embarrassment. She thought that it was supposed to be a secret between the two of them when Su Xiaofei asked her not to mention it ever again.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Qian. It's okay." Su Xiaofei bumped her shoulder with her friend's. "It was merely an observation. So now it seems like you aren't the only one who thought about it."

"Well, you really do resemble Miss Bai, Miss Su. You look like a younger version of her." Her father commented.

Su Xiaofei didn't know if she should feel flattered by it, or should she feel insulted of being compared to Bai Qingyue by her own father.

"I think Feifei looks better, though." Lu Qingfeng turned his head and stared at the woman seated next to him with unconcealed adoration in his eyes. "In my opinion, she's more beautiful and charming than Miss Bai."

Xi Qian almost choked upon hearing it. She coughed wildly behind her hand and reached for a glass of water. Since when did Lu Qingfeng become so shameless that he was now openly trying to hit on their Feifei?

"Here, Qian." Su Xiaofei passed her a glass of water and patted her back gently. "You don't need to rush your dinner, Qian. I don't want you to suffer indigestion later."

"Thanks, Feifei. It's just… the food is really delicious. You should try to eat more, Feifei." Xi Qian lied, knowing that she cannot criticize Lu Qingfeng in front of his important partners.

Their conversation then diverted to business matters between the two companies, and Qiao Fengying was impressed by how much Lu Qingfeng knew about the project they were collaborating on.

"Your grandfather must be really proud of you. You are still young, but you are already well versed in the ropes of the business." He told Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng only smiled. One reason he agreed to meet Qiao Fengying was to know what kind of in-laws he would have in the future once he and Su Xiaofei got married.

"It's only natural that I try to lessen my grandfather's burden. We can only rely on each other now." He said in response.

Qiao Fengying nodded. He heard the terrible news about the fierce battle for inheritance between Chairman Lu's sons. In the end, both of his sons had lost their lives, leaving only a young Lu Qingfeng as the sole successor to their family business.

Lu Qingfeng was still young, but in the future, some of his relatives would turn their attention towards him, questioning his capability to lead the family and their company. It was important for Lu Qingfeng to learn these important skills and capabilities if he intended to succeed in the family.

"Then the Lu Corporation's future looks very promising, with you as your grandfather's successor." Qiao Fengying said.

"Thanks for your kind words, President Qiao, but I think I have a long way to go. In the future, I hope you'll be able to impart some wisdom to me."

"What about you, Miss Su? Which industry is your family in?" Liu Shulan asked curiously.

"Ah, my mom runs a business in Guangshang. An entertainment agency.." Su Xiaofei replied, smiling as she spoke about her mother.
