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

Chapter 118 - Yun Qingrong’s Daughter (2)

Su Xiaofei looked at General Yun's face and her mother's brothers. She could only exploit their attachment and lingering concern about Yun Qingrong, for her to get what she needed.

She was talking about Yun Qingrong, the most treasured daughter of the Yun family. Would they be able to turn a blind eye on her, knowing the current predicament she was in? Su Xiaofei didn't think so.

She wasn't certain how deep their feelings were for her adoptive mother, but seeing how they were visibly bothered over the possibility of Yun Qingrong's life being threatened without her knowledge, Su Xiaofei knew that she had them in her hands now.

Furthermore, she didn't need to win their hearts, she only needed them to protect Yun Qingrong's life.

If General Yun felt any resentment towards the treatment his daughter was receiving, he would easily agree to Su Xiaofei's request. His sons also seemed to be holding back their anger, as they also felt disturbed by what they had heard today. Their anger towards Su Haoran was just the cherry on top in Su Xiaofei's opinion.

As Su Xiaofeo expected, General Yun was extremely infuriated with Su Haoran. Even if they were having some reservations now, they would eventually agree to accept her request.

"So, General Yun, can you please accept this one's request and help my mother? I don't know anyone who could help us at this time." She calmly asked.

"What if we don't agree?" He gave Su Xiaofei a cold look rivaling hers. For someone who was asking the Yun family for help, Yun Guanyu couldn't help but think that Su Xiaofei was too cold and calm.

"Then my mother's blood wouldn't be on my hands if Su Haoran managed to harm her." She said nonchalantly.

The whole Yun family stared at her in shock.

This wasn't what a desperate person would do in such a situation. She claimed she came here for the sake of Yun Qingrong, but her eyes showed that if they didn't accept her request, she would place the blame on their family if something bad happened to her mother, despite giving them a fair warning.

To think that their kindhearted Yun Qingrong had raised such a cruel and cold-hearted child, just where did Su Xiaofei come from? Their Qing'er was soft-spoken and gentle, while this child was frigid and unpredictable.

General Yun looked at Su Xiaofei for a while and nodded. She had left them no choice.

Initially, he thought that this adoptive daughter of his beloved daughter was too sly and suspicious at her young age, but now, the old man understood that this was her own way of self-defence.

As long as she was able to protect Yun Qingrong, Su Xiaofei wouldn't need to worry too much in the future. He could also see her determination to save her mother's life from Su Haoran.

Although her words were too blunt in his opinion, he would rather see her true face like this than to face a treacherous two-faced young woman, who would only see her adoptive mother as a resource of wealth and influence.

This somewhat earned his respect for this young woman. He had never seen a young woman like Su Xiaofei before. Although she had ulterior motives in asking for their help, the old man could see the sincerity of her words in her eyes.

"Fine. You have my word. I will investigate what you've said today and see if your assumptions about the threat on Qing'er's life are valid or not. However, if I find out that you are making these things up, I want you to cut your ties with Qing'er and never consider yourself her child in the future."

Su Xiaofei only raised a slender brow at that. She found this old man's words foolish. For someone who had cut his ties with her mother, was this old man trying to drive her mother to depression and insanity?

Yun Qingrong had already suffered a massive blow learning about her husband's betrayal, it would surely break her heart if Su Xiaofei were to abandon her again in this lifetime. That wasn't something Su Xiaofei was willing to do at all.

"I accept General Yun's condition." She replied, knowing well that she couldn't be mistaken about Su Haoran's gambling problems that persisted for another six years until Yun Qingrong lost her life a year after she married Mo Yuchen.

Su Xiaofei was sure that it was Ye Mingyu who might've suggested to Su Haoran to plot against her mother to get a portion of Yun Qingrong's wealth. While Mo Yuchen was able to devour Bluemedia, Su Haoran took all the properties under Yun Qingrong's name after her passing.

She couldn't allow that to happen again, no matter how much hardship she had to endure in this lifetime.

The old man seemed pleased with her answer. General Yun could see that she wasn't willing to take back the words she had uttered today and was willing to take responsibility for it.

Meanwhile, his sons had conflicted expressions on their faces. If what Su Xiaofei said today was true, then they would need to investigate what was going on with Su Haoran and his debtors.

After her conversation with the men of the Yun family, Su Xiaofei bid goodbye, refusing the old man's invitation for her to join them for lunch out of courtesy. Since she had already announced the purpose of her visit, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.

"Xiao Fei, what you said today… Are they true?" Yun Xiang asked her, as he sent her off. They were waiting for Su Xiaofei's ride to come and pick her up at the Yun Estate.

He didn't know whether he should believe her words or not regarding the possible threat on his aunt's life.

"Brother Xiang will know whether I'm telling the truth or not once the result of your family's investigation comes out." Su Xiaofei gave him a small smile.
