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

Chapter 132 - Words Were Like Water (2)

When Su Xiaofei returned to the interrogation room, she overheard Housekeeper Chen begging her mother to help Chen Li, saying that all of this was just a misunderstanding. This shameless old woman still thought that her young daughter hadn't done anything wrong at the expense of Su Xiaofei's reputation.

"What is there to misunderstand, Aunty Chen?" Su Xiaofei gave the older woman a quick glance.

Compared to the almost skinny middle-aged widow who arrived with her two children years ago, Housekeeper Chen had gained a lot of weight during their years of stay in the Su Residence, now the Yun Mansion. Housekeeper Chen was around the same age as Yun Qingrong, but with a slightly plump stature and wrinkly skin, it made her look older than her actual age.

She was wearing a green blouse and a pair of black slacks and even though it looked ordinary for some, those people with a keen eye would see that they were actually branded items. Housekeeper Chen was able to enjoy such things because Yun Qingrong was generous and kind to those who were working in their household.

Such kindness that Housekeeper Chen and her daughter continuously abused and took advantage of.

"En, this is all but a misunderstanding, Miss Xiaofei." Housekeeper Chen faced Su Xiaofei, who took a seat on the vacant couch in the room, crossing her legs with her hands resting on top of her knees.

Su Xiaofei looked at the older woman with indifference. A disloyal servant shouldn't be allowed to stay near her mother, that was why she instigated a scene where she could force the Chen family out of their home. However, that wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred that she had been trying to lash out.

Aside from Aunty Liu, who was the one who raised her and looked after her whenever Yun Qingrong wasn't around, Su Xiaofei didn't have any attachments to other servants working in the Yun Mansion. As long as they didn't dare to obstruct her way and cause trouble for her mother, she would pay them no heed.

As for this old woman, if a rabid dog could bite its own owner in front of her, how can Su Xiaofei stay still and do nothing?

Housekeeper Chen waited for a long time, but only a pair of chilling eyes greeted her when she took a second look at Su Xiaofei. Her heart started thumping painfully against her chest as breathing became hard for her, feeling as if she was being suffocated by Su Xiaofei's mere cold gaze.

"Aunty Chen must be joking." The young woman chuckled darkly. "Do you mean to say that Chen Li, falsifying an identification card and impersonating me in public, was nothing but a misunderstanding that we should easily let off?"

"Miss Su, you should think this over. Identity theft is a grave offense. Add to the fact that Chen Li is accusing you over the possession of the counterfeit goods, I fear that if she wasn't apprehended this early, your reputation would be ruined without knowing about it."

One of the police officers that were listening to their conversation couldn't help but comment. He found it disturbing that despite being let off the first time without facing repercussions, the Chens were shamelessly ruining their former masters in public.

"En. If Miss Chen got involved in drugs using your name. It would be hard to clean your name in public. The damage has already been done and there's nothing you can do about it." His partner agreed with him.

Su Xiaofei slightly nodded her head. That was precisely what happened in her previous life.

When Chen Li continued with her bar hopping habits and got involved with party goers who used drugs while she was impersonating her, it had caused a huge blow on Su Xiaofei's rising career. It was to the point where even when they tried to clear her name based on the photos and videos gathered to prove that she wasn't at the scene where the people involved got arrested, it was already too late as her name was already tainted by the drug issue.

If it was not for the unknown person who suppressed the news over the internet and mainstream news, Su Xiaofei had no doubt that the media would continue to pounce on her and would dig more about her dirt from the past.

"Sorry, Aunty Chen. If the esteemed officers put it that way, I think everyone could understand that Chen Li had not only put my reputation at stake, she's also risking my future. Do you think a simple apology would be enough to compensate for the possible loss I would suffer if Chen Li wasn't caught this early?" Su Xiaofei said coldly.

"Saying that it was merely a misunderstanding, Aunty Chen, what do you take me for?"

Housekeeper Chen realized that she wouldn't be able to persuade Su Xiaofei and decided to turn her attention back to Yun Qingrong.

"Madam! Please! This one has served you and the young miss for years. How could my Xiao Li deliberately harm Miss Xiaofei's reputation? For old times' sake, please help my Xiao Li."

Su Xiaofei sneered in her heart. Her mother didn't wrong Housekeeper Chen in both lifetimes, but what did the latter do? She colluded with Su Haoran and Ye Xing to persuade Yun Qingrong to accept Ye Mingyu into their family, causing turbulence not only on the straining relationship between the couple, but also became the catalyst in ruining Su Xiaofei's life.

No wonder Chen Li could act as recklessly and as shamelessly as she did, because she was cut from the same cloth as her mother!

Yun Qingrong looked at her daughter's face and noticed that she was upset and agitated. What Housekeeper Chen just said was simply wrong. It wasn't merely a misunderstanding. Chen Li was trying to harm her daughter's reputation and future by defaming her name in public. Although her daughter could be unreasonable and arrogant at times, she had never harmed others like Chen Li did now.

"I'll respect and trust my Feifei's decision on this."
