Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 563 Feng Xue’er’s Accusations (2)

"And why would Ye Mingyu want him dead if they were in a relationship? It doesn't make sense, Miss Feng." Su Xiaofei added, acting like she was oblivious about the real score between Cai Lin and Ye Mingyu.

"Or did he know something and she needed to shut him up?" She whispered so low that Feng Xue'er wouldn't be able to catch what Su Xiaofei had just said if she wasn't leaning close enough to her.

Feng Xue'er stared at Su Xiaofei like a deer caught in the headlights, looking at Su Xiaofei with confusion.

"I…" She stuttered. "That's possible." She said in the end.

There must be a logical reason why Cai Lin was killed, Feng Xue'er thought. Despite Cai Lin betraying her and choosing Ye Mingyu over her, it had been hard for her to let go of the feelings she had for him.

It was one thing to see him loving another woman, but to see him dead? Feng Xue'er couldn't accept it. Feng Xue'er would rather see him alive and happy with another woman than knowing that his life had already perished.

"Is Cai Lin still worth all the trouble, Miss Feng? After all he's done to you?" Su Xiaofei whispered like a devil in her ear.

"I'll prove to you that it is Ye Mingyu who had killed him." Feng Xue'er said in defiance. "You better look out for yourself because we both know she hates you down to the core and would ruin you any chance she gets."

"Thank you for your warning, Miss Feng. I will keep that in mind." Su Xiaofei pulled away and straightened her black outer coat. "However, I suggest against rushing to join Cai Lin in the afterlife, if someone really murdered him."

Feng Xue'er hardened her expression, but her eyes told Su Xiaofei that she understood the risks involved in what she was about to do. If she dared to investigate Cai Lin's death, she might as well stir the grass and startle the snake.

Su Xiaofei thought that it was pointless for Feng Xue'er to do it, since Cai Lin had never once taken her feelings seriously. She thought that Feng Xue'er would be better off with another man who would cherish her rather than pining over a man who was obviously not into her.

Still, who was she to criticize Feng Xue'er when she had done the very same thing in her previous life? At least Feng Xue'er wasn't as insane as she was, forcing to marry Cai Lin despite all odds. She hadn't lost everything because of a man.

Su Xiaofei allowed a bitter smile to cross her lips and left the washroom without sparing Feng Xue'er another glance. From the corner of her eye, she saw Ye Mingyu trapped in the middle of a conversation with a man, but stopped and glanced at her direction with a somewhat amused look in her eyes.

Maybe Feng Xue'er had a valid reason to suspect Ye Mingyu. Maybe she, Su Xiaofei, was overthinking things again.

"Is everything alright?" Xi Qian appeared in front of her. Su Xiaofei hadn't noticed her friend's arrival.

"En." Su Xiaofei nodded. "Just a little tired from the long day I suppose." She didn't bother to share the conversation she had with Feng Xue'er earlier. Not when Ye Mingyu was dangerously close.

"Where's Li Xiran?" She asked, hoping to avert Xi Qian's attention, "I didn't know you are dating again."

"I'm not sure about that, Feifei." Xi Qian looked elsewhere, as she couldn't meet Su Xiaofei's gaze.

Su Xiaofei remained silent for a moment, before a thought dawned on her.

"But you're sleeping with him." She said with a straight face while Xi Qian's face flushed at once.

"I'm not sure if I'm ready for a relationship yet, Feifei." Xi Qian mumbled. "And with the exams just around the corner, I can't afford to be distracted." She reasoned out.

"And what did Li Xiran say about this arrangement?" Su Xiaofei questioned her in disbelief. She couldn't quite believe that Xi Qian would choose to have such a relationship with Li Xiran. Weren't they supposed to be madly in love with each other, just like they were in her previous life?

"He said that he's willing to wait…" Her best friend said, and Su Xiaofei could easily complete Xi Qian's unfinished words. 'Wait until I change my mind.'

Li Xiran wasn't willing to give her up just yet, or maybe he was confident that he would be able to change Xi Qian's mind. As much as Su Xiaofei wanted the two to be together, she would rather let Xi Qian decide for herself.

Because if there was something Su Xiaofei knew about Li Xiran in her previous life, it was that once he decided on something, he would see it through until the end, even if he failed. But Su Xiaofei knew the reason Xi Qian was hesitating and she couldn't blame her best friend for it. It was something only Xi Qian could deal with.

"Don't let him wait for too long, Qian. No matter how patient a person is, there's no telling how much time we would have to be with them." Su Xiaofei said, wounding her arm around Xi Qian.

'Just like how much time I wasted by chasing someone who despised me when the person who could love me with all his might was right by my side all this time.'

Xi Qian refused to answer, her face clearly showing her confusion. But it all changed when they saw Lu Qingfeng, Song Yiran and Li Xiran waiting for the two of them.

Su Xiaofei immediately released her best friend's arm and went to her husband, while Li Xiran stepped forward and said something to Xi Qian, which Su Xiaofei failed to catch. However, she didn't miss how Xi Qian's eyes softened from the moment Li Xiran reached her and talked to her.

She believed Xi Qian and Li Xiran would be fine once her best friend realized what she wanted.
