Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 30: The Arrival of Ye Mingyu

Su Xiaofei did not wait for his friends and ate his lunch, while Lu Qingfeng could only shake his head and follow his directions.

Meanwhile, Xi Qian felt perplexed if she should have the lunch that Aunt Liu made for her. While it was true that he always spent his lunch time with the two, this was their first time eating home-cooked meals, rather than buying something in the cafeteria.

As he glanced at Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng's lunch boxes, he noticed that the old woman was really trying hard to give them good food. Not only was it visually appetizing, but it was also more balanced and nutritious compared to what they would get from the cafeteria.

"Qian, what's wrong?" Su Xiaofei asked as he realized that his best friend was not eating with them. "Is the food not to your liking? Try pork ribs, it's delicious."

"But.." Xi Qian was still hesitating. He did not want to cause trouble for anyone, especially for Su Xiaofei, but he also understood why Feifei was kind to him. If their position was behind, Xi Qian knew that he would do the same and would try to reduce the burden his best friend had.

It was really hard to swallow pride and accept help, especially for someone like Xi Qian.

"Aunt Liu specifically made this meal with you in mind. He said he was worried you didn't have enough food. A few days ago, he mentioned that he saw you putting plaster on your knuckles. If you feel guilty, you don't have to do it, but you shouldn't waste Aunt Liu's effort."

Su Xiaofei stopped eating halfway to look at Lu Qingfeng blankly.

"What?" Lu Qingfeng asked when he saw her looking at him. "Fell in love with my handsome face? It's never too late to confess now."

"Wow, Xiao Feng. It's the first time I've heard you speak more than ten words at a time." He said with a laugh, got a sharp glare from the young man. His attention then turned to his best friend, who was still staring at his unopened box of supplies.

"It's okay, Qian. Look at Xiao Feng. He has stayed in our house and eaten our food even though he has a home to return to and is able to make his own food." Su Xiaofei shook his head. "So don't worry and lunch Aunt Liu made for us. He'll be happy if he finds out you've finished your meal."

"You could've told me if you didn't like me staying at your house. Do you really have to compare me to Xi Qian?" Lu Qingfeng complained to her.

"What's? It's been days, but you haven't come home. Better move into our house if you don't plan on leaving." Su Xiaofei looked at him, before putting a piece of savory meat in his mouth.

Xi Qian sighed and rubbed his temple. Both of them completely forgot that there were people around them when they started fighting.

"good. If you say it like that, how can I let this food go to waste?" Xi Qian acknowledged and decided to eat his share. At least he didn't have to worry about the cost of his lunch and could spend it for dinner later. With the small salary he receives each month, he needs to control his spending, which means cutting costs wherever he can - most of his food.

Su Xiaofei smiled to himself and continued eating. He would enjoy these peaceful days together with Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian because in three days, Ye Mingyu would appear again and would try her best to destroy her life.

Thinking about it, he would let fate take its course and lead Ye Mingyu to befriend Feng Xue'er. Once the two had a deeper understanding, he would arrange a meeting between Ye Mingyu and Cai Lin.

Cai Lin was a popular university basketball player in their academy and in Su Xiaofei's past life, Cai Lin was one of Ye Mingyu's white knights, always ready to help her whenever Cinderella is terrorized by her evil stepbrother. She was one of the reasons why Su Xiaofei was rejected in several auditions and consideration of brand support, because she was the one who caught Ye Mingyu's attention.

Unbeknownst to Feng Xue'er, her fiance's admiration for Ye Mingyu was a boundary obsession, a, that if Su Xiaofei had not witnessed to himself how this man had confessed his undying love to Ye Mingyu the week before his marriage to Feng Xue'er, Su Xiaofei would have been unaware of it.

Ye Mingyu rejected him, saying that they should not let Feng Xue'er know what they were talking about that day, because that would only annoy him. Seeing how loyal and considerate Ye Mingyu was to her best friend, Cai Lin grew increasingly in love, despite being turned upside down for her.

'true. I've got to do that. I must let Ye Mingyu and Feng Xue'er deepen their friendship before destroying it. The pain of betrayal coming from the person closest to you is the most painful.' Su Xiaofei thought.

Su Xiaofei would never forget what the pair of friends had done to him in his previous life, constantly humiliating him, damaging his reputation whenever there was a chance.

With Feng Xueer's booming career as a designer, it was very easy for her to tarnish Su Xiaofei's name in front of her extremely valuable customers while praising Ye Mingyu's beauty and kindness to heaven.

'I wonder if their cheap friendship can survive the strong gusts of betrayal once it happens.' Su Xiaofei smiled to himself, pleased that he would have the chance to force the two women against each other.

Compared to the two women, Su Xiaofei was grateful that Xi Qian was kind to her despite her unpleasant personality. Xi Qian might not be fully aware of how scheming he was, unlike Lu Qingfeng, but it didn't matter.

And just like that, three days had passed and the peaceful days that Su Xiaofei had enjoyed were finally over. News of a beautiful new transfer student had filled the hallway, spreading like wildfire among the students in the academy.

While everyone wanted to know who it was and how it looked, only Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian were unconcerned about it and were currently reviewing the lessons they had learned yesterday. Xi Qian was helping Su Xiaofei set up his notes for later use.

Xi Qian smiled, glad that he could help Su Xiaofei.

"See. If you put aside your complaint first and listen to our explanation, you won't fail the test before." He said with a seductive smile to his best friend.

Su Xiaofei snorted and rolled his eyes. Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng really knew which button to press to disturb him.

Someone opened a window inside the classroom, letting the gentle breeze cool everyone inside. It was already afternoon, but the air was very refreshing for the students who were enjoying spring while the others in the north of the country were now trembling in the cold due to the winter.

The laughter of the other students outside reached the ears of Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian, distracting them from the lessons they discussed. There seemed to be a crowd outside as it was very noisy for them not to notice.

"Is that a new transfer student? She looks charming." One of their classmates commented, after seeing what caused a commotion outside.

While Xi Qian was curious about the new transfer student, Su Xiaofei remained calm in his chair. He did not need to look to ascertain who that person was, because he already knew that no one else could attract such a crowd with just his face, except Ye Mingyu.

"Well, what's my new Jiejie like, Qian? You should go and see the girl who dared to cheat on my mother last week for yourself." Su Xiaofei gave his best friend a meaningful smile.

Xi Qian was stunned on the spot before he realized it. Did Su Xiaofei mean that the new transfer student was the son of his father's love with another woman, the same person who had come to see them before?

Without a word, Xi Qian went to the window a few meters away from their classmates to see the young woman claiming to be their big sister Feifei. His eyes caught a young woman, who was allegedly the same age as him and Feifei.

The young lady was like a flower in spring, fresh and tender to look at. He had a smile that could easily warm one's heart when he saw it. Compared to the clear eyes of the fox Su Xiaofei, the woman named Ye Mingyu had a pair of round eyes, a sharp nose, and reddish lips.

Her skin was slightly darker than Su Xiaofei, but Xi Qian had to admit that Ye Mingyu's beauty deserved her sudden popularity among the students. To be honest, she looks like an angel and kind-hearted. Something that raises overprotective in young men who may be acquainted with him.

However, there was something about Ye Mingyu that he could not explain. Ye Mingyu smiled brightly, but why did Xi Qian feel all this was just a facade? That Ye Mingyu was friends with everyone for a reason.

It was not that she was biased because Su Xiaofei was her best friend, but when she heard about the news of Aunt Qing divorcing her husband, she asked Su Xiaofei about it and found out about Ye Mingyu's whereabouts.

It made sense to him now why Su Xiaofei was expelling that mother and daughter. Xi Qian might not be the daughter of a wealthy family like Feifei, but she was aware of the general scheme that could happen in such a family.

Xi Qian returned to his seat and remained silent. He looked at his best friend and noticed that Su Xiaofei was not bothered by Ye Mingyu's sudden appearance in their academy. Xi Qian was afraid that with Ye Mingyu's appearance, Feifei would be forcibly isolated and hated by everyone again.

"So, what do you think, Qian?" Su Xiaofei asked her, cupping her chin with one hand as she lazily thought about what she should eat after school.

"I don't know, Feifei, but I don't feel comfortable seeing it. Something about him makes me feel like I should stay away from him or, I might become public enemy number 2 after you." Xi Qian did not dare to lie to his best friend.

Su Xiaofei chuckled at hearing that. If Xi Qian, the person she knew was the best even to the point of feeding the feral cat her own food, could sense Ye Mingyu in trouble, how did Su Xiaofei fail to notice it in his previous life?

"Feifei, you'd better watch out for that woman!" Xi Qian leaned forward to whisper to her. "Who knows what he's doing right now. If he reveals his relationship with you, I'm afraid our schoolmate will criticize you for not looking after your sister."

"He's not my brother. At least for me." Su Xiaofei said indifferently. "But thank you, Qian. I'll make sure not to take advantage of it. Since he's the one who willingly came here, I think he'll try to get along with me."

Su Xiaofei then sneered inwardly as he thought about how Su Haoran had left their home and his mother had sent him the divorce papers, but he still refused to sign them.

'Maybe I need to threaten the old man to give up on my mother.' Her thought.. He needs to find something he can use to blackmail his useless father.
