Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 13: Stars Will Not Shine Without Darkness

Su Xiaofei was unwilling to admit it, but he was impressed by how much Han Zijun knew about the cold poison and how easily he detoxified himself. Had he met Han Zijun in his previous life, he would have had a better chance of recovering from his illness and continuing to live on.

He had heard of a certain Master Han, who was a genius physician in his past, but he never anticipated that he would get acquainted with him as soon as he was reborn.

Unfortunately, he realized that this was just a 'what if' that would never be able to change what he had suffered in his previous life. It was too late to regret his previous actions now, and he could only move forward.

As much as he held others responsible for his death and tragic ending, Su Xiaofei was also aware that his stupidity and poor life choices had brought him there. It was his weakness that others took advantage of, so he was partly blamed for what happened to him.

"Are you sure I won't suffer any complications later?" He questioned Han Zijun.

En, as long as the cold poison has not settled in your heart, one will be able to recover from it. The man convinced him.

"Qian, I want to go home now." He told Xi Qian. He did not know how long he had been unconscious, and was convinced that his mother was waiting for his return anxiously.

As for his two bodyguards, Su Xiaofei was aware that they were practically useless. Now, he would not be surprised that the two of them were cowering in fear, racking their brains to think of a reason to tell Yun Qingrong once their master found out what happened today.

So why did he take them with him today, knowing that they were useless? That's simple. Su Xiaofei wanted to pluck the weeds out of his territory, and that included these two people who would later work as Mo Yuchen's spies for him.

It was impossible for Yun Qingrong to let them remain by Su Xiaofei's side after what happened under their supervision.

"We'll take you home." Mr. Ouyang chose to step forward and look at Su Xiaofei's somewhat pale appearance. "Let this old man sincerely apologize to your family."

Su Xiaofei inwardly smirked. Mr. Ouyang played his role very well and acted according to his plan. This made it easier to reveal that she was Yun Qingrong's adopted daughter, without relying on the Yun family.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiang stood beside the old man with a conflicted expression on his face, which Su Xiaofei could have guessed as his fault for letting innocent civilians get hurt by mistake. Since he let her see such a weakness, Yun Xiang did not know what would befall her in the future.

"O-okay.." He answered Mr. Ouyang's request. The sooner the old man knew who he was, the better.

As for Yun Xiang, Su Xiaofei would let him feel guilty this time. In the future, he would try to pay off his debt by helping him, and he would never stop until Su Xiaofei considered him to be enough.

He and Xi Qian were taken out of the pharmacy and saw a car waiting for them. Su Xiaofei wore a thin blanket over his shoulder as Xi Qian helped him get into the back seat of the car.

As soon as they settled down, Su Xiaofei noticed that not many people had gathered in the public market, because the sky was already dark. When he glanced at his watch, he realized that it was almost ten at night.

"I've called Aunt Qing. He and the others will be waiting for us to return." Xi Qian told him. He had tried to find the bodyguards he knew Su Xiaofei had brought with him today, but Xi Qian was unable to find them at all.

If so, then Mister Ouyang and Yun Xiang would personally meet his mother. Su Xiaofei was not sure if the old man knew Yun Qingrong, but Yun Xiang would definitely recognize his aunt once he saw her.

Su Xiaofei closed his eyes, realizing that Yun Xiang was staring at him through the rearview mirror as he sat next to the driver's seat. From where he sat, he could feel that Yun Xiang was thinking of some way to obtain his forgiveness this time around.

He had time to wonder if his vulnerability was the reason why Ye Mingyu could guide him for such a long time. Clearly, Ye Mingyu was not as innocent and kind as everyone thought.

'Ye Mingyu, you are quite ruthless.' Su Xiaofei sneered inside.

For Ye Mingyu to be able to get everything she wanted, she had forced Su Xiaofei to play the role of a villain to accentuate herself. The stars will never shine without darkness.

Not to deny it, but not to fully accept his love. Only now did Su Xiaofei realize that he had underestimated Ye Mingyu's cunning, as he was able to turn things around for her good no matter how hard Su Xiaofei worked to damage his reputation in the past.

'That's right, Third Young Master Yun, please feel guilty and sorry for me. In the future, when Ye Mingyu tried to offend me, it was you who would throw the first stone at him.' He thought, liking that he not only gained Master Ouyang's gratitude this time, but he also met genius physician Han Zijun, and had Yun Xiang in his palm.

With the appearance of the female lead within days, Ye Mingyu had no idea that Su Xiaofei had set the stage for her to play her role alongside Mo Yuchen. In this life, the one who will laugh last will be him.

When the car arrived at the Su Residence, Yun Qingrong, along with Aunt Liu and Lu Qingfeng were waiting for the return of Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian. When Xi Qian called her an hour ago, telling her something had happened again to her daughter, Yun Qingrong panicked.

Su Xiaofei would usually tell him beforehand if he would stay in his apartment and would not be home, but this time, when the clock showed at eight, it would be, Yun Qingrong did not hear anything from his daughter and wondered where she and Xi were. Qian has gone. It also didn't help that the bodyguard she assigned to her daughter didn't return her calls.

"We're here, Feifei." Xi Qian shook Su Xiaofei's shoulder to wake him from his nap.

Su Xiaofei moved from his sleep and opened his eyes. He did not realize that he was asleep while they were on the road. He felt dizzy and hot at the same time. As Han Zijun had said before, it seemed like he was going to have a fever.

Seeing the two cars stopping in front of his residence, Yun Qingrong rushed out to look at them, worry written all over his face as Lu Qingfeng followed behind him with an unreadable expression on his face.

As soon as Lu Qingfeng saw Su Xiaofei's deathly pale complexion and unfocused gaze, he forced Yun Xiang aside as the latter was about to hold onto Su Xiaofei to bring him into the residence.

Yun Xiang was surprised by the actions of this young man, but did not comment on it.

Su Xiaofei wrapped his arms around Lu Qingfeng's neck and took a deep breath before closing his eyes. With Lu Qingfeng here, he didn't have to worry about anything now. He felt a hand touch his forehead and knew that his mother was worried about him again.

"Feifei.." She heard her mother's voice, but Su Xiaofei did not have the strength to explain what happened to her.

"Aunt Qing, I will bring Feifei inside." Lu Qingfeng told his mother.

Su Xiaofei could only enjoy Lu Qingfeng's warmth as he tried to keep his consciousness this time around.

"okay." Replied Yun Qingrong. He still needed to comfort the guests they suddenly had to accept tonight and had to talk to Xi Qian to find out what had happened to them. He watched as Lu Qingfeng carried his daughter carefully as he brought Su Xiaofei inside and headed straight for his bedroom.

When he faced Yun Xiang, he was momentarily shocked to see his familiar face, but he did not remember where he had seen it. This young man in front of him was strangely not foreign.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ouyang got down from the car and let his guard down upon seeing that Yun Qingrong was the one who was standing beside the young Lu Qingfeng earlier. She had not met this woman for a long time, since she was exiled by her own family after she chose to marry her husband twenty years ago.

"Qing'er, is that you?" She called out, wondering if she saw anything or if it was really Yun Qingrong, the only daughter of the Yun family.

Hearing his name being called, Yun Qingrong turned his head towards the voice and was surprised to see the old man whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Uncle Luo, what brings you to my humble abode? Did my Feifei get you into trouble?" He asked politely.

After all it wasn't the first time someone had contacted her to complain about her daughter. But why did Feifei look sick in Lu Qingfeng's embrace earlier?

"Oh, no, Qing'er. Quite the opposite, actually. It's this parents' fault that your daughter got hurt earlier." Mr. Ouyang said with a long sigh.

Just thinking about how the young lady had previously suffered because she had made her heart ache. However, never in a million years did she think that the young lady was Yun Qingrong's daughter.

Yun Qingrong's face lost its color after hearing that. "My wife is hurt?"

"Madam, why don't we move this discussion inside?" Thankfully, Aunt Liu was by her side, holding Yun Qingrong's arm gently.

"Y-yeah, we have to do that." Yun Qingrong nodded in agreement, but his thoughts remained on his daughter. Su Xiaofei had just come out of the hospital, so what was wrong with him this time?

"Qian, stay here with us all night, okay? I'll worry about you too if you insist on going home this late." Yun Qingrong told his daughter's best friend. He then thought about how lucky his Feifei was to have Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng as his friends.

Aunt Liu led Lord Ouyang and Yun Xiang inside, while Yun Qingrong was left with Xi Qian. While Yun Qingrong was busy talking to Xi Qian, Yun Xiang took this opportunity to ask the old man.

"You know that woman, Mr Ouyang?"

Upon his question, Mr. Ouyang struck Yun Xiang's leg with his stick and shot him with a sharp glare.

"Stupid kid! How could you not recognize your own aunt?! Don't tell me your father never mentioned anything about his sister." Master Ouyang looked at him with dissatisfaction on his face.

Yun Xiang's eyes widened and he looked at Yun Qingrong a second time. He doesn't believe it at all! Is she really her aunt? The person her grandfather misses the most, but can't meet because of their dispute?

Wait for. Does that mean the person who accidentally saved this old man's life was his cousin?!

Somehow, this revelation left discontent in Yun Xiang's heart that he could not explain. He knew how painful it was for someone when they were poisoned with a cold poison, but Su Xiaofei did not shed a tear at all.
