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

There was something about Su Xiaofei that Lu Jinglin couldn't put into words. She had this feeling that she was being lured like a bee attracted to the sweet nectar, only to find herself being trapped for eternity.

It was probably a kind of hell she would enjoy compared to the hellhole that was waiting for her back at home if she submitted to her father's wishes. At least, she would be able to negotiate with Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei for better terms.

The only reason why she wasn't being dragged by her father right now was because she was still under Lu Qingfeng's wing as his 'subordinate'. They all thought that she was working for him, when in truth,  she was doing all that work in front of her computer to earn her living.

For her father, a woman was nothing but a possession that he could utilize to his own advantage. When she found out that she was to be married off, she desperately sought for Lu Qingfeng's help. A favor that he had yet to collect since then.

Lu Jinglin wondered if Su Xiaofei knew what kind of man she married. Did she know how ruthless Lu Qingfeng could be against his enemies and to those who opposed him? Just the thought that he single-handedly murdered her brothers a few weeks ago was enough for her to shiver in fear.

Burned to death. To think that they were killed slowly, allowing them to experience anguish before meeting their ends. Lu Qingfeng had left them under the rubble to suffer, fighting their way to wiggle out like a bug that was about to be consumed by the fire.

Lu Jinglin couldn't blame him, and not that she had any sympathy left towards his brothers when they were the first ones who turned their backs on her. She understood that he only did it because her foolish brothers had plotted to dispose of him. Lu Qingfeng must have been angered that he was being obstructed on his way to Su Xiaofei.

It was a known fact within the Lu family that Su Xiaofei was Lu Qingfeng's bottom line, because even before Su Xiaofei showed up today, Lu Qingfeng had long-established her status as the future madam of the family.

"My, my, Madam Lu. You surely know how to lure people to your side, huh? Is that the reason my second cousin has chosen you?" She smiled at Su Xiaofei.

Lu Jinglin had to admit that Su Xiaofei's personality was a perfect match for the little tyrant of the Lu family. A woman with a high caliber like Su Xiaofei should have known… She cannot possibly claim innocence when her eyes were gleaming, filled with malice and mischief at the same time. Su Xiaofei obviously wanted to take advantage of her situation, but Lu Jinglin didn't care anymore.

She had long accepted that not everything would go the way she wanted them to, but that didn't mean she couldn't make the best out of it.

"You think it's a bad deal?" Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow at her. "Don't think I'm pitying you, because I am not. I just think that it would be a waste not to see your talent."

"I surely don't." Lu Jinglin chuckled in return. It seemed to her that pity doesn't come easily to this black bellied couple. They knew how to take advantage of the situation and turn the tables in their favor.

It was then Lu Qingfeng returned with a displeased look on his face. Su Xiaofei didn't need to know that her husband wasn't impressed by the talk he just had with his elders. He stood next to her on the couch before giving Lu Jinglin a glance.

"Jinglin, you are here?"

"Hey, even if I am supposed to be working for you, it doesn't mean I'm not part of the Lu family anymore." Lu Jingli pouted at him, but her voice didn't hold any hint of annoyance.

Su Xiaofei looked at her husband, then to his cousin, sensing that Lu Qingfeng was at ease being in Lu Jinglin's presence. Surely, these two had some mutual respect for each other.

"I see that you've met my wife." Lu Qingfeng replied as he rested a hand on Su Xiaofei's shoulder.New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

"Heh, she's too good for you, Lu Qingfeng. Where did you find such a gem?" Lu Jinglin snickered at him and glanced at their other relatives, who were looking their way. "You are always going an extra mile to annoy our relatives. Are you trying to give them a heart attack?"

"As if that would be enough to get rid of the weeds." Lu Qingfeng scoffed. "I think you should leave before your father gets a chance to corner you. It's already enough for me that you send your regards for my upcoming succession." He added.

"Impatient, aren't you? I thought you still have at least a year or two?" His cousin gave him a knowing smile. Lu Jinglin already knew the reason anyway. She just liked to annoy him.

"Grandpa needs to retire soon. I don't want him to overwork himself and spend the rest of his days at the company." Lu Qingfeng claimed.

"If you say so." His cousin shrugged, clearly not buying his excuse.

It was obvious to her that Lu Qingfeng wanted to gain absolute control over the family and to suppress her father's influence. However, they both know that her father wouldn't give up plotting against him, and Lu Jinglin didn't doubt that her cousin would do just fine.

"Are you ready to go?" Lu Qingfeng asked his wife.

"Is it okay for us to leave now?" Su Xiaofei replied, not wanting to leave Lu Jinglin yet.

"En. We'll drop Jinglin home to make sure she won't mess up this time." Her husband said impassively.

"Hey! It's not my fault that he found out where I was working previously." His cousin exclaimed, glaring daggers at Lu Qingfeng. She was supposed to annoy him, not the other way around.
