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

Chapter 67 - The Waiting Game (1)

Things were progressing according to Su Xiaofei's expectations. With Ye Mingyu's growing popularity and closeness towards Feng Xue'er, the rumors that she and Ye Mingyu started to circulate around.

She was aware of the worried look Xi Qian was throwing her way, but Su Xiaofei remained calm and collected, never indicating that she was bothered by the rumors about her. Even Lu Qingfeng was eyeing her suspiciously, waiting to see what she would do, but she remained impassive and uncaring about the rumors about her.

They say that even though she and Ye Mingyu were sisters, Su Xiaofei was giving her older sister a hard time instigating a fight between her parents, pushing the blame on Ye Mingyu and her sick mother.

"Feifei, are you sure you aren't going to clear the rumors? It's going to get out of hand if this persisted." Xi Qian asked her once.

"You worry too much, Qian. Isn't that what Ye Mingyu expected me to do? She wants to play a game with me, but I am not willing."

No one had dared to question or ask her opinion about it anyway, although Feng Xue'er was occasionally giving her a mocking look, as if she couldn't wait for her to snap and confront Ye Mingyu herself.

In the past, Su Xiaofei has confronted those people who spread those rumors and had verbally abused Ye Mingyu without giving her a chance to explain. This only gave Ye Mingyu an advantage over her.

With Ye Mingyu's subtle coquettish attitude and charming face, she easily became a campus belle of Qiying City Academy as soon as she entered school. Unlike Su Xiaofei, Ye Mingyu didn't have an outstanding family background, so she usually wore ordinary clothes in contrast to Su Xiaofei lavish and expensive outfits.

QCA was a place filled with rich people, yet Ye Mingyu depended on her pretty face and sweet-talking skills to be worshiped by numerous guys as a goddess, which only gained the ire of some girls in the academy.

Unlike Su Xiaofei's reserved and cold attitude towards the opposite sex, Ye Mingyu could be said to be extremely close to guys. In fact, she could easily earn their favor, manipulating them to spend money on her while still maintaining an ambiguous relationship with them. This was why she was able to stay at the academy and use it as a stepping stone to pursue a degree in communication arts.

Too bad for them, Su Xiaofei was aware of their intention this time, so she blatantly ignored their attempts to annoy her. Hey, it was already hard for her looking at their ugly faces each day, alright. It was only a matter of time before Ye Mingyu ran out of patience and sought her herself.

'Let's see how long you'd be able to wait this time.' Su Xiaofei chuckled darkly. Ye Mingyu would be seeking death this time if she chose to confront Su Xiaofei about it herself.

The waiting game was on, and Su Xiaofei knew that the first one to make a move would have the higher disadvantage. If she didn't make a move now, Ye Mingyu wouldn't be able to take it and would be forced to come meet her the first chance she could.

While Ye Mingyu and Feng Xue'er were both wondering why Su Xiaofei hadn't thrown a fit yet, Su Xiaofei had chosen to focus on her studies with Xi Qian. The more Su Xiaofei ignored her presence, the more Ye Mingyu would be agitated and restless.

Just thinking about how easily Ye Mingyu had manipulated her in the past, Su Xiaofei couldn't wait to allow the other woman to experience the bitter taste of her own medicine.

"Su Xiaofei." A familiar voice called her name.

Su Xiaofei was busy scribbling her notes with her airpods in her ears. She lifted her face and saw Feng Xue'er standing in front of her. She sighed before removing the earpieces to hear what this young woman had to say.

"Is there something you need from me, Classmate Feng?" She looked at Feng Xu'er with annoyance in her face.

This reaction was a bit strange for Feng Xue'er who was already used to engaging in verbal wars with this stupid villainess. Su Xiaofei was looking at her with a sense of boredom and scrutinizing her in a weird way.

"Aren't you going to explain to us?" Feng Xue'er demanded, wanting to start another fight with Su Xiaofei again.

At her question, Feng Xue'er naturally attracted everyone's attention and wondered if Su Xiaofei would take the bait this time.

Su Xiaofei looked at Feng Xue'er with the shadow of a smile, taunting the girl in her mind for being so foolish and impatient. Ye Mingyu probably instigated Feng Xue'er to test the waters in her stead.

'Foolish girl. You don't even realize that Ye Mingyu is taking advantage of you.' She thought.

"Explain what? Who would be so foolish to air their dirty laundry in public?" She said in response to Feng Xue'er's question.

Feng Xue'er was stunned at that. Neither her nor their classmates were expecting to hear such words coming from Su Xiaofei herself. However, didn't this mean that Su Xiaofei was saying Ye Mingyu was being stupid for even bringing up their family matters in public?

"Unless you want to tell me yours, you don't have the right to poke into someone else's business, Classmate Feng," Su Xiaofei sighed dejectedly.

However, how could Feng Xue'er back down without a fight? her pride wouldn't allow herself to get beaten by this arrogant and pompous heiress in front of her. From the moment she met Su Xiaofei, she disliked this young woman.

"Ye Mingyu is now my friend, of course, I am willing to help her lessen her burdens!" She exclaimed.

"Oh, did she tell you then that she and her mother have been living in one of my mother's properties for years without my mother's knowledge?" Su Xiaofei questioned her with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
