Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 34: The Role to Play

It didn't take long before the news of Ye Mingyu becoming an illegitimate child spread around the campus, turning things around against him. Everyone now branded Ye Mingyu as the shameless mistress' daughter who made use of the kindness of Su Xiaofei's mother.

"Xue'er, that's not what you think ..." Ye Mingyu tried to calm Feng Xue'er's anger, but the latter would not succeed, as he slapped Ye Mingyu's hand as he dared to touch her shoulder.

It had been a week since his meeting with Su Xiaofei and he was still angry whenever he remembered how he lost face because of the woman. He had to admit that something had changed to Su Xiaofei, however, it still did not change the fact that his unpleasant personality still made the people around him feel disgusted.

As for Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian, Feng Xue'er would never understand why they were still friends with that haughty woman.

"Don't touch me! It's all your fault! You lied to me!" He sneered at Ye Mingyu and looked at the other woman as if his presence only irritated Feng Xue'er. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been humiliated by Su Xiaofei in front of our entire class!"

Ye Mingyu withdrew her hand and her lips trembled, as if she was about to cry. He had this look as if he was the one being persecuted by everyone.

"I understand why you're mad at me, Xueer. Perhaps Su Xiaofei also hated me and my mother for destroying her family, but it was actually not like that, Xue'er. My mother and my father had been together for many years before Father met Su Xiaofei's mother. It's just.... My father had to marry her because she was pregnant. Just look at the difference in my age with Su Xiaofei, not how much right?"

Ye Mingyu was aware that he was lying, but who cared? After all it didn't have to be right, he just needed to make sure it sounded right, so he would regain the support of Feng Xue'er and everyone.

According to his investigation, Su Xiaofei's sworn enemy in the academy was Feng Xue'er, so he decided to approach this woman to exploit the rift between her and Su Xiaofei. Feng Xue'er was the only daughter of one of the richest officials here, in Qiying City. He had been pampered ever since he was young and had developed an arrogant and stubborn temperament, so how could Ye Mingyu not take advantage of him and use him against Su Xiaofei?

"You mean, it's a shotgun wedding?" Feng Xue'er was rather calm from Ye Mingyu's explanation. One did not need half a brain to understand what Ye Mingyu wanted to say.

Ye Mingyu nodded and lowered his head pitifully. If anyone saw her like this, it would arouse a sense of justice for this poor young lady. This was the same trick that could damage Su Xiaofei's reputation in his previous life.

"Su Xiaofei's mother was the daughter of a high-ranking general. Do you think my father, who was a commoner, could deny the old man's threat to marry his pregnant daughter? I don't think so."

"So so.." murmured Feng Xue'er. If only he had realized what was really happening, Su Xiaofei would not have been able to humiliate him. Now that he had a better understanding of what kind of family Su Xiaofei had, it was understandable why Ye Mingyu's father left his mother to marry a filthy rich heiress, who happened to be Su Xiaofei's mother.

"Ye Mingyu, things like this, you must not hide it from me. It was clear who was the third party and was ruining one's relationship. Ha! That Su Xiaofei, how dare he bully you? He's totally outrageous if he thinks that he and his mother are the ones who were harmed by you."

"I don't dare lie to you, Xue'er. It's just that I don't want you and Su Xiaofei to fight because of me. Su Xiaofei, regardless of who his mother is, remains my meimei. How can I stand it if someone mistreats my sister because of me? I can't…. I just can't…. I just want him to admit me, that's all I want, Xue'er." Ye Mingyu said with teary eyes.

Feng Xue'er looked at Ye Mingyu with a complicated expression. Why did Ye Mingyu want to get acquainted with that monstrous Su Xiaofei? Didn't he know that Su Xiaofei was like a selfish person who only wanted what he wanted and didn't care about anyone other than himself?

Ye Mingyu would seek death if she insisted that Su Xiaofei accept her as his sister. Feng Xue'er was sure that Su Xiaofei would never like Ye Mingyu at all. Based on his words alone, wasn't Su Xiaofei telling everyone that Ye Mingyu wasn't worth his time and attention?

"Yu'er, I know you feel guilty, but I think you should stay away from Su Xiaofei for your own sake. As your friend, of course, I will try to protect you so that you are not intimidated by anyone, especially Su Xiaofei, but you yourself really should avoid trouble, Yu'er. I'm telling you, Su Xiaofei can go overboard when he bullies someone." Feng Xue'er reminded him.

Ye Mingyu only smiled, the amused glint in his eyes flashing for a moment. Su Xiaofei would bully him? Isn't that what he wanted to happen? Once he established Su Xiaofei as an unreasonable woman, obviously, people would pity him and would turn against Su Xiaofei.

He only needed to take on the role of a victim, and everyone would persecute Su Xiaofei instead. Su Xiaofei was destined to be his background, his stepping stone to a brighter future. Feng Xue'er might not be able to understand him for now, but that was fine, as long as she would play her role so well as her loyal best friend who would pave the way for her

.

"Thank you for your concern, Xue'er, I'll remember it."

As for Su Xiaofei, he was waiting for Ye Mingyu's next move. That woman would not easily accept defeat and would definitely try to calm Feng Xue'er's anger now. After all Feng Xue'er was an important ally to Ye Mingyu, if she lost Feng Xue'er's favor as early as this, her chance of being crowned as the flower of the Qiying City Academy would be tantamount to being lost.

A month from now, the academy will hold a dance party for its students as part of their anniversary celebrations. Ye Mingyu would use this opportunity to increase his popularity by being crowned as the 'Queen of Elves' of the academy.

In Su Xiaofei's past life, with the help of Feng Xue'er as Ye Mingyu's fashion designer, Ye Mingyu's name was recognized as one of the most beautiful students on campus. The ball also formed Feng Xue'er's potential as a popular fashion designer in the future.

Su Xiaofei was deep in thought as he sipped his tea, while Lu Qingfeng sat opposite him in the garden, busy doing his duties on his laptop.

Her young miss, who looked arrogant to others, was very gentle and patient with the young Lu Qingfeng, while the young master of the Lu Family, who kept a distance with everyone, was very gentle and patient, very close and caring towards their Feifei.

However, even though the two grew up together, they did not have any affection for each other, which somewhat confused the old woman. Even he, in his old age, could not describe what kind of relationship the two had. However, he knew that they had an unbreakable bond that no one would easily shake. Or so he thought.

It was only after Feifei they met Mo Yuchen when he was thirteen that Aunt Liu felt that something had changed between these two young people. While Su Xiaofei was seeking Mo Yuchen's attention, Lu Qingfeng's attitude became colder, which became unbearable for the few servants working under the Lu family.

For the first time, Lu Qingfeng opposed Su Xiaofei and told him that he was a fool for chasing after Mo Yuchen. Su Xiaofei simply pinched both of his cheeks before kissing his head, telling him that he was too young to understand the feeling he had for Young Master Mo.

"Xiao Feng, you've been studying hard lately. Take a break and have a snack with Feifei." Aunt Liu told the young man in front of her. An hour ago, when he passed by and saw the two in the garden, Lu Qingfeng's head bowed over his duties while his young miss was just sitting there leisurely, relaxing.

Lu Qingfeng smiled slightly and thanked him politely. He never showed any disrespect towards older people, despite his cold and aloof personality.

She was only fifteen years old, but Aunt Liu had never met a young man her age, who was as dedicated and patient as she was in terms of schoolwork. Although he was too smart for a child his age, Lu Qingfeng did not take the acceleration exam to pass through several levels.

Aunt Liu also realized that young master Lu was now beginning his training under the guidance of his grandfather as the next successor of their family. This only meant that Lu Qingfeng would soon be busy and he did not have much time to visit their Feifei.

"Why did Aunt Liu only praise Xiao Feng?" Su Xiaofei pouted. "I've been trying so hard to learn lately."

The old woman laughed behind her hands at the accusation of her young miss. Of course, he also realized that. Every night, he went to Su Xiaofei's room to clean it up, only to find the note and his book opened and left on his study table while he bathed to prepare for sleep.

"really. It's the old lady's fault. Feifei we are also hardworking students."

Su Xiaofei beamed at the old woman and praised her delicious cuisine.

"Aunt Liu should not praise Feifei too much or he might get angry." Lu Qingfeng commented, who got a sharp glare from the young lady opposite him.

As soon as Aunt Liu left, Lu Qingfeng used this opportunity to ask Su Xiaofei.

"So...have you found a way to get the 100 million you need?"

Su Xiaofei shook his head and bit the cake.

"No, I'm still in the planning process. Wh why? Are you willing to give me 100 million now?" He said in a seductive tone.

Lu Qingfeng sneered at that.

"Even if I have 100 million, what makes you think that I would give it to you? Unless you're my wife, I won't give you anything too much like that."

"So I have to be your wife first before I get your 100 million?"

"En." Lu Qingfeng nodded. "Don't you say that you want your husband everything? If you marry me in the future, it's only natural that you will gain access to all my assets and property as my wife."

"Ah, music in my ears, Xiao Feng! So, being Lady Lu means being loaded with so much money, huh?"

With the Lu Corporation's involvement in the banking and insurance industry, it was only natural that they made a lot of money, compared to the Mo family who could barely make up twenty percent of the Lu Corporation's income.

"Well, what a pity, it's still not an option for me, Xiao Feng. Su Haoran still refused to cancel my engagement to Mo Yuchen to this day."

Just as Lu Qingfeng was about to answer her, Aunt Liu returned, announcing Mo Yuchen's visit.
