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

Chapter 41 - What’s In A Name? (1)

Those words from Su Xiaofei came as a shock to everyone in the room. It was understandable for them to react like this because Su Xiaofei did the same when she found out about the prenuptial agreement between her parents, courtesy of Aunty Liu.

After Yun Qingrong died, the old woman had met Su Xiaofei for the last time during her mother's funeral. The old woman was saddened by the sudden passing of her former mistress, and voiced out her indignation towards Su Haoran.

She then made a slip, accidentally informing Su Xiaofei that had Yun Qingrong forced her husband to divorce her after failing to fulfill his part of the deal in their prenuptial agreement, the tragedies in her life could have been avoided.

As for why there was a prenuptial agreement between the couple, Su Xiaofei surmised that it was her mother's last attempt to gain her family's blessing, for them to allow her to marry Su Haoran with conditions. Alas, the Old Master Yun persisted that if Yun Qingrong were to proceed with the wedding, she should forget about being the daughter of his family.

"Feifei… how did you…" Even Yun Qingrong was surprised that her daughter was aware of the existence of such a document between her and her husband.

Su Xiaofei patted her mother's hand gently and mouthed, 'let me deal with this, Mama', before turning back her attention to their guest with a condescending look in her eyes.

"Do you understand now, Miss Ye, why my mother couldn't be of any help to you? I think you and your daughter misunderstood, Miss Ye. It isn't my father who calls the shots in this household nor is he the one who brings the income and pays our housekeepers their salaries."

At this, Su Xiaofei glared in Housekeeper Chen's direction.

Housekeeper Chen stiffened where she stood. The young miss who was looking at her was unrecognizable. Su Xiaofei might be arrogant and hard to please to the people in the Su household, but she had never exuded this kind of imposing aura around her before.

"So, do tell us, Miss Ye, why should my mother take responsibility for my father's insolence? Was she the one who made you pregnant? How could you ask another woman to raise your own child so shamelessly? If you really needed help, the one you should be talking to right now should be my father and not my innocent Mama."

Ye Xing was too stunned to utter anything after hearing Su Xiaofei's words. She glanced at Housekeeper Chen for help, but the housekeeper was rendered speechless from what they all heard today.

What Su Xiaofei said just now effectively turned the situation against them. If Ye Xing insisted on Yun Qingrong to accept her daughter, Yun Qingrong would not waste time and divorce Su Haoran at once, leaving him without a single cent to his name.

Knowing Su Haoran's personality, Ye Xing knew that he would be enraged and would turn his anger on her if he happened to lose everything because of her. They would never be able to bear his wrath if that was the case.

Su Xiaofei sneered in her heart. These people wanted to trample on her mother and exploit her weakness just because Yun Qingrong was on her own, so they better not blame her for bringing out Su Haoran's fate, for Su Xiaofei would eventually crush them all with her own hands.

"But… but I am also a Su…" Ye Mingyu's gentle voice reached Su Xiaofei's ears.

Su Xiaofei inwardly smirked. This was the thing she had been waiting for. She knew that Ye Mingyu wouldn't be able to stop herself from making a comment. Ye Mingyu had a strong competitive streak in her. She couldn't take it if anyone were to trample or take advantage of her.

It was safe to say that in Su Xiaofei's past life, Ye Mingyu killed her enemies with too much kindness, kindness that Su Xiaofei would use against her in this lifetime.

She turned her head and regarded Ye Mingyu who was slightly trembling next to her mother, her hands in front of her, with her head down. This allowed her to look pitiful, no doubt she would be able to win the favor of those who saw her in such a situation.

'Ye Mingyu, since you came here willingly, I should give you a warm welcome, right?'

Su Xiaofei slowly nodded her head and hummed.

"That's true." Her words somewhat lit up Ye Mingyu's eyes, but Su Xiaofei immediately crushed that hope before it bloomed.

"However, is your mother's name Yun Qingrong?" Su Xiaofei challenged her. "Do you know, my dear Jiejie, regardless if my mama divorced our papa or not, everything that the Su family owns would naturally be inherited by me?"

Ye Mingyu lifted her head and stared at Su Xiaofei in shock.

"If Jiejie still wanted the title 'Young Miss Su', I would willingly give it to you. However, that's just it. If you need money and resources, please see and meet Papa. I'm pretty sure he would be dying to meet you if he knew he had a missing daughter, that is … if you are really his daughter."

The last words Su Xiaofei uttered, effectively throwing dirty water on this devious mother and daughter pair.

"How… How could you say something like that?!" Ye Xing exclaimed as she stood up and wrapped her arms protectively around her daughter.

Su Xiaofei stifled a laugh behind her hand and crossed her legs, giving her a relaxed impression.

"Don't take it too hard, Miss Ye. I am merely stating a possibility. You know, schemes like this are common within the showbiz and families like us with money. Many women would come forward and pretend that they had a love child for them to squeeze some money out. It's not that I don't trust you, Miss Ye, but you have to prove to everyone that the daughter you have here has the Su family blood in her before my father could give her financial support."

'You wanna play dirty with me? Too bad, only pigs like you can play in the mud.'
