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

Chapter 59 - Life Is Like A Game Of Chess (1)

Su Xiaofei could only endure those insults, as she was the one who made that mistake anyway. She shouldn't have focused more on her training to become an actress and neglect her studies in her past life. She had always been compared to Ye Mingyu, who not only diligently finished her studies but was able to complete her degree with flying colors.

So how could Su Xiaofei make the same mistakes again? In this lifetime, she would ensure that those naysayers would not be able to say anything by proving to them that she wouldn't allow herself to be Ye Mingyu's backdrop again.

Xi Qian looked at Lu Qingfeng and shrugged. At least this little tyrant knew how to be useful and helpful for Feifei. He must have a goddamn level of patience to tutor Su Xiaofei.

"Well, I thought that you hadn't done it yet and needed my help again." She responded.

"Don't worry, Qian. I will rely on your help next time. I can't possibly run to see Xiao Feng every time I'm having trouble understanding our lessons." Su Xiaofei smiled at her friend.

How could she be compared to these two? Lu Qingfeng was hailed as a genius, a prodigy at his young age. In the future, he would become a mogul who dominated the business world. Meanwhile, Xi Qian would pursue her studies and would become a nurse in the future.

Xi Qian initially wanted to become a doctor, but her current financial circumstances wouldn't allow her to do so, so she could only take a pre-med course and decided to work again to save up to study medicine.

Su Xiaofei knew all of these, this was why she wasn't worried too much about Lu Qingfeng. As for Xi Qian, she supposed she needed to help her friend to find a better job that pays really well. She was aware that Xi Qian would vehemently refuse her, had she offered to pay for her tuition fee in her stead.

If there was something Su Xiaofei had learned from her best friend, that would be there was nothing more insulting to someone than offering unwanted charity. Perhaps this was why she and Xi Qian got along really well.

However, just thinking of the possibility that doing so would stop her best friend from meeting the love of her life, Li Xiran, Su Xiaofei wouldn't take any risks.

Li Xiran was the young master of the Li family, who owned one of the largest and renowned companies in Shenjing. In Su Xiaofei's past life, this man was able to surpass his old man and proved to everyone that he didn't need to rely on his mother's family to save his father's dwindling company.

Xi Qian met Li Xiran through his ailing father when she chose to work as a private nurse. She and the old man built a friendship and companionship over the years until his inevitable passing. Li Xiran, despite not being on good terms with his father, grieved over his death, and it was Xi Qian who stayed with him until he was able to get back on his feet and resume his life.

The two had fallen madly in love with each other and were looking forward to spending their lives together. However, that never happened because Xi Qian had lost her life even before Li Xiran could propose marriage to her.

The man who shed tears uncontrollably at Xi Qian's funeral, how can Su Xiaofei forget about him? Just like Lu Qingfeng, Li Xiran spent the rest of his life as a monk and refused to be tied down with another woman after Xi Qian's passing.

After he was certain that his father's company was stable, Li Xiran then passed the management to his younger half-brother, Li Xingtian and chose to spend the rest of his days living in the countryside.

Su Xiaofei had always either questioned or doubted Xi Qian's taste when it comes to men when they were younger, but upon witnessing such a heartbreaking scene by Li Xiran, Su Xiaofei knew that her best friend had finally met a man who would love her regardless of who she was and what she was.

This time, she hoped that Xi Qian and Li Xiran would be able to find their happy ending.

"Feifei, are you alright? You haven't made a move for a minute now. Just tell me if you concede." Lu Qingfeng's voice pulled her out of trance.

Su Xiaofei smiled at him, then turned her eyes to the chessboard in front of them. Despite the fact that she had never won a single match against him, she had persistently asked Lu Qingfeng to play chess with her.

She picked up her black queen and took two pawns and one rook of Lu Qingfeng's. In the past, she was easily annoyed at how easy it was for him to defeat her, but later on, she realized that Lu Qingfeng was the one who had been paying attention to her every move, waiting for her to make a mistake that he could take advantage of.

The more she paid attention to his moves, the more Su Xiaofei could see and predict how their game would proceed. It didn't matter if Lu Qingfeng defeated her every time because she always learned something from her loss.

"Checkmate." She gave Lu Qingfeng a wide grin, but he only chuckled in return.

"Not yet." He shook his head, and his king was able to outrun her queen by taking advantage of his knight and rook, stopping her queen from pursuing it.

"Ahh…" Su Xiaofei then hummed and cupped her cheek. "You lead me to it, huh."

"You are finally noticing it now?" He raised a slender brow at her.

"Heh, I will let you off for now. There wouldn't be another next time, Xiao Feng." She chuckled, accepting the cold can of cola that Xi Qian passed to her.

She realized then that the world was a huge chess board in Lu Qingfeng's eyes, and she should start doing the same.
