Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 558 Ye Mingyu Returns (1)
While Su Xiaofei waited for Zhang Ling to fetch Ye Mingyu for her, she discarded her disguise and cleaned her face from the thick makeup. With the problem related to Yun Xiang resolved, she couldn't wait to get rid of Ye Mingyu and Chen Hao at the same time.
If it wasn't for them, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't have to work harder than usual and would be able to spend more time with her. With his succession in the Lu Corporation almost in sight, Chen Hao's threat was looming to ruin their plans.
Su Xiaofei sat in a VIP booth of a five star restaurant. She was now dressed in her pristine business suit, nursing a cup of tea in one hand as she admired the scenery outside the window. Her life was almost perfect now. What else could be missing?
A child. Her heart murmured, reminding her of the fear she tried to bury deep in her heart. Six years since her rebirth, it still feels fresh in her mind.
She remembered her mother's words earlier that morning. It made sense to her why Yun Qingrong would ask her such a question, but Su Xiaofei didn't know how to answer her mother without offending her or making her husband upset.
While she had no doubt that Lu Qingfeng would respect her decision if she chose to be childless throughout their marriage, she doubted that the Lu family would agree with her. They might even scheme and force Lu Qingfeng to divorce her, or worse trick him into having a child with another woman. With Qin Ying keeping tabs with her husband, Su Xiaofei wouldn't be surprised if that woman colluded with her husband's relatives.
However, even if she had discarded Mo Yuchen from her life in this lifetime, that one memory still haunted her till this day. It was one thing to avoid Mo Yuchen, but Su Xiaofei thought that she could never forgive him because of it.
She might have been able to let go of her long grudge towards him for choosing Ye Mingyu and betraying her trust by taking over her mother's fortune. But she would never be able to forget what he had done to their child. Her child.
Su Xiaofei knew that she might be unfit to become a mother and it would be unfair for the child to be born into the complicated life she had, but she wouldn't abandon him or her nevertheless. After being forsaken by and betrayed later on by Bai Qingyue, she wanted to prove that she was nothing like her mother.
It was just, she couldn't have foreseen that Mo Yuchen hated her enough to even deny the existence of their child. She knew that Lu Qingfeng would never do such a thing, but a part of her knew that she wasn't willing to experience the pain of losing a child all over again.
There were nights when she would wake up in cold sweat next to Lu Qingfeng. Although she tried to assure him that it was nothing, she didn't know how to tell him that she had once fallen pregnant and lost her child in the process.
She was reborn, but that didn't mean what she experienced never happened. It just hadn't and would never happen this time because she had taken another path by making better choices. Still, the memory of Mo Yuchen forcing her to get an abortion had taken a piece of her soul with it.
'I wonder if this is the same reason Bai Qingyue helped us.' She thought as she wondered how she felt that unexplainable attachment to her unborn child. Was it her maternal instincts playing a role?
As she pondered these thoughts, Zhang Lin arrived with Ye Mingyu in tow. Su Xiaofei lifted her face to look at Ye Mingyu's face, only to be frozen on the spot. A chill ran down her spine as she stared at Ye Mingyu's mocking smile. It felt so familiar and horrifying at the same time. She suddenly had a bad feeling about this meeting.
"Miss Ye, please take a seat." She gestured to the vacant seat across from her, masking the uncertainty in her voice.
Su Xiaofei had doubts, but she wanted to see whether she was right or wrong this time. This ominous feeling she was having for the past days… was this the reason for it?
Ye Mingyu took the offer easily, then picked up the menu arrogantly as if she wasn't afraid of Su Xiaofei. Gone was the Ye Mingyu who was cowering and flinching whenever she saw her and was replaced with a confident and arrogant person. Alarm bells rang in Su Xiaofei's mind, but she kept her expressions neutral.
Even the Zhang sisters looked at Ye Mingyu with confusion, as if they couldn't recognize this person at all and Su Xiaofei couldn't blame them. She should have known of the possibility that this might happen a long time ago.
"Imagine my surprise when my assistant said that she spotted you near the Black Dwarves. Were you there to see someone?" She asked, her gaze never leaving Ye Mingyu's face. Was she imagining things? She wondered.
Ye Mingyu froze then glanced up to look back at Su Xiaofei and broke into another smile.
"My, I could have asked you the same question, President Su. Is your husband aware that you are meeting another man behind his back? Poor Lu Qingfeng. It must have been hard for him to satisfy someone like you." She replied mockingly.
Zhang Ling gasped upon hearing those words while Zhang Lan narrowed her eyes dangerously on Ye Mingyu.
Su Xiaofei said nothing and only stared at Ye Mingyu blankly, but her heart was already in turmoil. She could recognize this woman anywhere without a doubt, and she couldn't believe that she was meeting the person responsible for her mother's death and her own.
This was the same Ye Mingyu who had ruined her life from her previous life!
