Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 19 - Shameless Mother And Daughter (2)

"Huh? You didn't buy it?" Su Xiaofei blinked, then turned her gaze to Chen Li. "Then I suppose it's a gift?" Her lips bloomed into a beautiful smile, a smile that only meant trouble to those who were graced by it.

Housekeeper Chen knew right then that she was utterly doomed. How can she not know the reason behind Su Xiaofei's smile? This witch was threatening her and her family and she couldn't believe it.

In the past, Su Xiaofei wouldn't even spare her or her family even a glance, giving them the leeway to do whatever they wanted, especially Chen Li. If not for them overlooking these small, trivial matters, it wouldn't have gotten out of hand and would become part of the cause that ruined Su Xiaofei's reputation later.

But how did the Chen family end up in her past life? Su Xiaofei tried to remember.

Ah, in a passing when Su Xiaofei was still a ghost, roaming around her mother's mansion, she overheard that Lu Qingfeng, the known tyrant, had dragged Chen Hao back and crushed both of his hands, leaving the man crippled for the rest of his life, while Chen Li didn't fair any better as Lu Qingfeng sued her for falsification of documents and corporate espionage after luring her to work at Lu Corporation.

As for Housekeeper Chen, she could only weep in despair as she watched both of her children ruined for the rest of their lives by Lu Qingfeng.

"Aunty Chen, Chen Li, can you tell me where I could find this rare item? Mama has been trying to find another one in my right size. You know, she still feels a little upset when she gives me the wrong size." She asked the two.

"I… I don't know, Miss." Housekeeper Chen hesitated to answer. She was aware that whatever she said in response would be used against her by Su Xiaofei. She then glared towards her unruly daughter for dragging her into this predicament.

None of this would have happened if her foolish daughter didn't show up in front of Su Xiaofei, bragging about the clothes she was wearing today. Would this happen if Su Xiaofei had not seen the dress which was given to her by Yun Qingrong being worn by Chen Li? Su Xiaofei wouldn't have the chance to come after her like this if she wasn't aware that it was her dress in the first place.

'You two came to me willingly. Don't blame me for being impolite.' Su Xiaofei snickered inwardly, aware of the turmoil the old woman had in her mind.

Seeing that neither the mother nor the daughter were willing to answer, Su Xiaofei didn't want to let them off yet. How can she let go of this chance to give them a taste of their own medicine? They pretended to be kind in front of her, but they couldn't wait to stab her in the back when she wasn't paying attention.

"So it's not even gifted then. Wait, you're not saying that this is actually the same designer clothes my mother gifted me two years ago, are you?" She pretended to gasp and proceeded to blurt the accusation in such a low and malicious tone that made Housekeeper Chen shiver in fear.

The old woman knew that the fake heiress was an arrogant and haughty young woman, but she had never thought that she could be this frightening. She had been living with the Su family for years, but this was the first time she had spoken to Su Xiaofei for over a minute. Their past interactions were too short for her to leave any impression on the young woman.

"I-I only tried it on to see if it fits me." Chen Li admitted, causing her mother to almost vomit blood at that instance.

Su Xiaofei looked at the younger woman as if Chen Li had grown another head over her shoulder. Was this girl really this stupid? Su Xiaofei couldn't believe that she was easily slandered and maligned by a foolish girl like Chen Li.

In her past life, because Chen Li used to wear the clothes owned by Su Xiaofei, she entered a club, hanging out with several men. People mistakenly took her as Su Xiaofei because of their almost identical frames and long black hair. This reached Mo Yuchen's ears, which resulted in additional strains in their already complicated affairs.

Su Xiaofei had been accused of several things she hadn't done in the first place. She had never thought that people around her had been colluding with each other to harm her, including her own husband. As for Chen Li, she could only blame herself now for being stupid, because Su Xiaofei had decided not to spare anyone who had wronged her in the past, nipping potential threats in the bud along the way.

"What?" Chen Li frowned, failing to understand the precarious situation she had jumped into because of her admission.

The silence among them was killing both mother and daughter in anticipation. The smile that was on Su Xiaofei's lips vanished and was replaced with a cold countenance as she looked at them.

"Do you mean to tell me, Madam Chen, that your daughter is dolling herself up using my expensive clothes?" She asked with a sneer. "And here I thought that I was the one who had a bad upbringing, according to other people."

"Miss! How could you say that?!" Chen Li's eyes turned misty. "I'm merely borrowing your clothes. It harmed nothing!"

Su Xiaofei shook her head and sighed.

"Did you ask for permission? How many times have you borrowed my clothes without me knowing? If that's the case, I have never heard of a servant given the leeway to use her master's belongings. Are you perhaps the Young Miss of this household now, Chen Li?"

Chen Li's face blanched. It was the first time someone had reprimanded her like this. She gripped the side of her skirt and lowered her head in shame. A seed of hatred towards Su Xiaofei took a spot in her heart.

"Miss Xiaofei, can you please forgive Xiao Li this once?" Her mother asked.

"Sorry, but we can't let a thief stay in our house."
