Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 554 Meeting Yun Xiang (1)

Bai Qingyue managed to keep the role, courtesy of Yun Qingrong's help. Not that she really needed the other woman's assistance, as she could use a clause in her contract that stated that they are prohibited from replacing her as the actress portraying the role alongside Tang Liyan's when most of the scenes were already taken.

Still, this didn't mean that she wasn't grateful for Yun Qingrong's help, as it only made her life easier since she didn't need to convince the gentlemen herself. As for Su Xiaofei, she showed no interest nor made no indication that she was concerned about her.

'She's merely doing her part of our deal.' Bai Qingyue thought, forcing her eyes to not look at her daughter's face anymore, but she had to admit that Su Xiaofei's complexion looked healthier now compared to the last time she'd seen her.

The actress was content with that. She would never want to see her daughter in such a disastrous state ever again, and it didn't matter if Su Xiaofei chose to remove her completely from her life.

Once the meeting was over, Yun Qingrong came to her and invited her for lunch. Bai Qingyue glanced at her daughter, wanting to see if Su Xiaofei would complain about it, but she only pretended as if she hadn't heard anything.

"Isn't that right, Feifei? You don't mind having Miss Bai join us, right?" Yun Qingrong asked her daughter with a smile. She was hoping that her daughter would agree with her.

Su Xiaofei was about to answer her mother when her phone beeped again. She looked at the screen, and it was Yun Xiang again. She furrowed her brows and sighed. He was insisting on meeting her and knew that she had purposely ignored his message anyway. However, this only made her curious as to what Yun Xiang had to say about her husband.

"It seems I can't join you today, Mother, but please enjoy your lunch with Miss Bai." She replied, somewhat relieved that she didn't need to stay in Bai Qingyue's company any longer. Su Xiaofei couldn't stand being in the same place as her birth mother, and it didn't help that Mo Yuchen was looking her way unabashedly.

"I see. Then you should get going. It must have been important if you are personally needed." Yun Qingrong said before turning to face Bai Qingyue. "So, what do you think, Miss Bai?"

The actress regarded her for a moment and nodded. She couldn't think of any reason to decline Yun Qingrong's invitation, not when the woman just helped her deal with her problem.

The three of them left the conference room, and Su Xiaofei was aware that another set of eyes were watching her intensely. She had to pretend not to see or to hear Mo Yuchen during the meeting, although the man tried to initiate a conversation with her.

She dropped her mother and Bai Qingyue at the restaurant she and Yun Qingrong frequented before and bid goodbye, intending to meet Yun Xiang. Yun Xiang was insisting that she should meet him today as he needed to tell her something very important.

"Miss, why are we going to that place?" Zhang Lan asked curiously. Even her younger sister glanced at Su Xiaofei who was seated nervously in the backseat. The address Su Xiaofei had given them wasn't a safe place for her to be.

"I'm meeting Yun Xiang. I want to know why he suddenly requested a meeting with me. Don't tell my husband until I know what's going on." Su Xiaofei replied, but she already had a gist of Yun Xiang's motives for insisting on meeting her today.

"Then Madam, if you don't mind… I have a proposition for you." Zhang Lan continued before pulling the car to a stop and turned to look at her mistress. Since she was sure that Su Xiaofei would insist on going and meeting Yun Xiang, she needed to place a precautionary measure.

She and her sister would be the ones responsible if Su Xiaofei ended up getting hurt today and surely, their master wouldn't be merciful to them if that happens. Zhang Lan didn't want to imagine the kind of punishment that would await them if they failed to protect their madam.

"The location that Mr. Yun gave you is a notorious place for illegal traders." She started, frowning at the thought of Yun Xiang carelessly placing their mistress in danger. Zhang Lan had no doubt that Yun Xiang knew how dangerous it would be for Su Xiaofei to step into that lawless place.

Su Xiaofei shot her brows in surprise. She didn't expect that their meeting place would be dangerous, but come to think of it, no wonder the Yun family couldn't find any lead on Yun Xiang's whereabouts. They probably never suspected that he would be hiding in such a place.

"Is that so? Then, does that mean it's impossible for me to meet him?" She questioned her bodyguard. Su Xiaofei trusted Zhang Lan's judgment, and she knew that her bodyguard would always put her safety as her top priority.

"I have a way that we could go there, but Madam should cooperate with me." Zhang Lan answered, waiting patiently for Su Xiaofei to decide.

"Sure. Then what are we waiting for?"

Half an hour later, Su Xiaofei looked at her reflection in the mirror of a dressing room. Zhang Lan suggested for her to change their outfits into streetwear and have her put on thick makeup on her face and wear a wig to change her appearance.

Su Xiaofei chuckled at her appearance and shook her head. She suddenly felt like it had been a long time since she last put herself in disguise. The last time she had done this was with her husband when they saved Mo Yuan's life. She had never thought that she would be in the same circumstances again, albeit, she would be doing it with Zhang Lan this time.
