Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 18: What Does a Name Mean?

Those words from Su Xiaofei shocked everyone in the room. It was understandable if they reacted this way because Su Xiaofei did the same when he found out about the prenuptial agreement between his parents, with Aunt Liu's permission.

After Yun Qingrong died, the old woman met with Su Xiaofei one last time during her mother's funeral. The old woman was saddened by the sudden death of her former employer, and voiced her anger towards Su Haoran.

She then made a mistake, inadvertently telling Su Xiaofei that if Yun Qingrong forced her husband to divorce her after failing to fulfill their part of the prenuptial agreement, the tragedy in her life could have been avoided.

As for why there was a prenuptial agreement between the couple, Su Xiaofei suspected that it was his mother's last attempt to obtain her family's blessing, for them to allow her to marry Su Haoran on condition. Unfortunately, Old Master Yun insisted that if Yun Qingrong was to continue the marriage, he should forget about being the daughter of his family.

"Feifei..how are you.." Even Yun Qingrong was surprised that his daughter knew of the existence of such a document between her and her husband.

Su Xiaofei patted his mother's hand gently and said, 'let me handle this, Mama', before turning his attention to their guests with a condescending look in his eyes.

"Do you understand now, Miss Ye, why can't my mother help you? I think you and your daughter misunderstood, Miss Ye. It wasn't my father who made the decision in this house nor was he the one who brought in the income and paid the salaries of our housemaids."

Hearing this, Su Xiaofei glared at Housekeeper Chen.

Housekeeper Chen stiffened where he stood. The young lady who was looking at him was unrecognizable. Su Xiaofei might be arrogant and it was difficult to please the people in the Su household, but he had never exuded such an imposing aura in his surroundings before.

"So, tell us, Miss Ye, why should my mother be responsible for my father's insolence? Did she make you pregnant? How can you ask another woman to raise your own child unabashedly? If you really need help, the person you should be talking to right now is my father and not my innocent mother."

Ye Xing was too shocked to say anything after hearing Su Xiaofei's words. He glanced at Housekeeper Chen for help, but the housekeeper was speechless from what they heard today.

What Su Xiaofei had just said effectively changed the situation against them. If Ye Xing insisted on Yun Qingrong accepting his daughter, Yun Qingrong would not waste time and divorce Su Haoran at once, leaving her without a single cent on her behalf.

Knowing Su Haoran's personality, Ye Xing knew that he would get angry and would vent his anger on her if she lost everything because of him. They would never be able to contain his anger if that was the case.

Su Xiaofei sneered in his heart. These people wanted to trample on her mother and exploit her weakness just because Yun Qingrong was alone, so it was best that they not blame her for revealing Su Haoran's fate, either, because Su Xiaofei would eventually crush them all with his own hands.

"But.but I am also a Su.." Ye Mingyu's soft voice reached Su Xiaofei's ears.

Su Xiaofei inwardly smirked. This is the thing he's been waiting for. He knew that Ye Mingyu would not be able to refrain from commenting. Ye Mingyu had a strong competitiveness in him. He could not bear it if anyone trampled or took advantage of him.

It was safe to say that in Su Xiaofei's past life, Ye Mingyu killed his enemies with too much kindness, a kindness that Su Xiaofei would use against him in this lifetime.

He turned his head and looked at the slightly trembling Ye Mingyu beside his mother, his hands in front, with his head bowed. This made him look pitiful, no doubt he would be able to win the hearts of those who saw him in such a situation.

'Ye Mingyu, since you came here willingly, I should give you a warm welcome, right?'

Su Xiaofei slowly nodded his head and hummed.

"That's right." His words somewhat lit up Ye Mingyu's eyes, but Su Xiaofei immediately shattered those expectations before blooming.

"However, is your mother Yun Qingrong's name?" Su Xiaofei challenged him. "Do you know, my dear Jiejie, regardless of whether my mother divorces our father or not, everything that the Su family has will naturally be inherited by me?"

Ye Mingyu raised his head and looked at Su Xiaofei in shock.

"If Jiejie still wants the title of 'Young Miss Su', I will willingly give it to you. But that's all. If you need money and resources, please look and see Papa. I'm pretty sure she'll die to meet you if she finds out she has a missing daughter, which is .. if you're really her daughter."

The last words that Su Xiaofei spoke, effectively dumped dirty water onto this scheming mother and daughter pair.

"How... How can you say something like that ?!" Ye Xing exclaimed as he stood up and hugged his daughter protectively.

Su Xiaofei held back the laughter behind his hands and crossed his legs, giving him a relaxed impression.

"Don't be too loud, Miss Ye. I'm just stating the possibility. You know, schemes like this are common in the entertainment world and families like us with money. Many women will come forward and pretend to have a love child for them to extort some money. It's not that I don't trust you, Miss Ye, but you must prove to everyone that the daughter you have here has the blood of the Su family before my father can provide her financial support. "

'You want to play dirty with me? Too bad, only a pig like you can play in the mud.'

A person's name is an important part of a person's identity. People ignored her cruel acts in the past because she was known as Young Miss Su. However, the moment Ye Mingyu appeared, slowly taking everything away from him, Su Xiaofei had nothing but a name that he did not even know if it was real.

In his past life, although Su Xiaofei often did evil deeds, there were still many who followed him because of the money and power he had as Yun Qingrong's daughter. Moreover, his appearance was one of his greatest assets. It was rare to find someone who would not be fascinated upon seeing her beautiful face. It's a shame this woman is so poisonous.

Criticized by Su Xiaofei, Ye Xing bit his lips as he looked down and did not say anything more, while Ye Mingyu was having a hard time restraining her anger that arose from what Su Xiaofei had just said.

"My mom is not a liar ..."

"Is that so? So, why wait so long before she reveals that she has Papa's daughter?"

"A-I don't know.." Ye Mingyu avoided Su Xiaofei's inquisitive gaze. "But my mom won't lie about this."

"Hey, now. It's not that we're accusing you of lying. Isn't a simple paternity test between you and Papa enough? If you really are his son and my Jiejie, then surely he will not treat you unfairly and will try to support you."

Su Xiaofei raised his chin and looked at Ye Mingyu with a slight smile on his lips. He let Ye Mingyu see the difference between them.

'You want to be the eldest miss of the Su family? Sure, but you won't get anything in return.'

Su Xiaofei refused to be used as a plot tool for Ye Mingyu to experience the challenge and eventually win. He was well aware that now, Ye Mingyu repeatedly cursed him in his heart, but because of his facade with kind nature, he would always forgive any offense made against him in front of everyone.

Yun Qingrong looked at his daughter and was also confused in his heart. His Feifei had completely changed, but he did not know whether he liked this change or not. The outside world is too unforgiving.

Even in their own homes, people tried to hurt her Feifei, even her husband's own relatives looked down on her.

Words are the sharpest weapons that one can use on another. Not only are the wounds deep, but the damage can be irreversible and last a lifetime. Yun Qingrong could only hope that his daughter could at least protect herself, not retaliate viciously to others like this.

Su Xiaofei sighed and waved his hand, as if dealing with his father's mistress and the other princesses was a trivial matter.

"My mom and I are tired. Miss Ye, please leave. Considering someone so daring to let you in without asking his employer for approval, I think he can give you Papa's contact number. If you dare to appear here without any more notice, don't blame us for being disrespectful." He said before standing up, reaching out to help his mother.

She then gestured for Aunt Liu to help her bring her mother upstairs to rest before glaring at Housekeeper Chen as she persuaded Ye Mingyu and her mother to leave the estate without getting anything from this meeting.

While Aunt Liu was taking Yun Qingrong back to her room, Su Xiaofei saw the mother and child coming out of their residence.

"Miss Ye." He called out, stopping Ye Mingyu and his mother in his tracks.

Su Xiaofei could see that Ye Mingyu's eyes had become foggy.

"I'm sorry if you think my words are too harsh, but it's important not to cover up important things and pretend that they don't matter. You're lucky my mother and I didn't call the police for violating our property, regardless of who let you in. See you next time, okay?"

Ye Mingyu's lips trembled, but she did not say a word in return.

Su Xiaofei followed their retreating figure with a cold gaze as he refused to give up on his fate. How could he have fallen to his fate? If the heaven above gave him a chance to relive his life, if he still had to submit to fate, wouldn't that mean his rebirth was practically useless?

Even if he wanted to live a happy and peaceful life, how could it be when there were people like Su Haoran, Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen who simply did not want to see him happy?

He willingly accepted the role of a villain, if it meant that he could keep those close to his heart safe. It doesn't matter if other people hate him, hate him, because in the end, the only thing that matters is protecting them.

As soon as they left, the other guest that Su Xiaofei had expected today finally arrived.

'It looks like it's my turn to act pathetically this time.' He sighed, letting himself change his expression, becoming someone who had been persecuted by others.

'Mr Ouyang, Yun Xiang, please don't let me down and report what you found today.'
