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

Chapter 177 - Don’t Beat The Grass To Startle The Snake (1)

"Then we can only wait and see what will happen next." Su Xiaofei hummed as she racked her brain to remember when exactly Mo Yuan lost his life. She regretted not paying much attention to the people around her and their history.

Actually, if Lu Qingfeng hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about Mo Yuan altogether.

"Don't stress yourself too much about it." Lu Qingfeng said, as if he knew her troubles. "I'll send someone to keep an eye on him once he arrives. It should be easy to lure him to our side."

Of course he knew the details of Mo Yuan's death from their previous life, but it didn't hold any importance in his quest to destroy the whole Mo family. Mo Yuan's death had nothing to do with his beloved's passing anyway.

Su Xiaofei nodded. She had no other choice but to wait. Since she had already done her assignments, she asked Lu Qingfeng to play a game of chess with her.

As she looked at the chessboard and its pieces, she felt like Lu Qingfeng was trying to lure her into a trap. For the onlookers, it may look like Su Xiaofei was actually winning, but Su Xiaofei knew better. That wasn't the case.

What was he trying to do? Su Xiaofei wondered. She couldn't follow his way of thinking.

Lu Qingfeng lowered his head slightly. Because of their positions, he could smell the young woman's familiar scent. He was trying to teach Su Xiaofei not to be complacent with her actions. Although everything was going well in her quest for revenge, he needed to remind her of the dangers that were still lurking in the shadows.

As their game continued, one by one, the chess pieces that Su Xiaofei had intricately set up to obstruct Lu Qingfeng were eliminated from the board. She frowned as she thought that she had already gained the upper hand when she was setting the traps.

"Feifei, when setting up a scheme, one must execute it cleanly." Lu Qingfeng said, as his queen dominated Su Xiaofei's bishop and rook at the same time. "Don't beat the grass to startle the snake in the process."

It was only then when Su Xiaofei realized what he was trying to say through their game. He was telling her that she still couldn't lower her guard while seeking revenge, as another coffin would be waiting for her if she failed yet again.

Just look, even though she had confidence in her traps and obstructed Lu Qingfeng's pieces, he still found a way to break free from them. What if Lu Qingfeng wasn't the only one who can see through her schemes? What would possibly happen to her then?

In this world, there were no such things as coincidences. Every turn of events had a reason for it. Now that she was treading in deeper waters, which was the internal struggle of the Mo family, this held higher risk for her.

"I see…" Su Xiaofei pondered over her choices now.

If this was the case, then she needed to expand her views and see who else was part of her chessboard. She might have easily outwitted Ye Mingyu for now due to the latter's inexperience, but in due time, Ye Mingyu might return sooner or later.

As for Mo Yuchen, he was definitely a harder opponent for Su Xiaofei. By now, he was already starting to strengthen his power and networks, and with the Old Matriarch's backing, it would be hard for Su Xiaofei to touch him, but that didn't mean she cannot make his life harder.

"Feifei, don't interact with Mo Yuan in public, whatever happens. If you are meeting him, we will do it together in secret and won't allow anyone to know that you've met him." Lu Qingfeng reminded her.

Indeed, it would be like taunting the tiger if she dared to get involved with the Mo family's problem, but it couldn't be helped. There was no way she would allow Mo Yuchen to have a smooth sailing career at Golden Star, and keeping Mo Yuan alive would help her tremendously.

The things that Mo Yuchen did in the past, she wouldn't be able to forget them at all. While she was the one responsible for failing her mother, it was Mo Yuchen who had tricked her into marriage. In order for Mo Yuchen to get his hands on her mother's company, he had acted as if he was finally moved by her efforts to be with him, and started to treat her a little better.

"The final hearing of Chen Li's case will be held on Friday. Do you have any plans?" Lu Qingfeng asked her as they fixed the chess pieces back to their starting places.

"Oh? I didn't know it would be that fast, but I would like to see how this would end up for her. Are you coming with me?" She glanced at him with a wicked smile.

"If you want to. We don't have practice on Fridays anyway."

"I'll probably not tell Mama to come with us. I also want to use the opportunity to ask Su Haoran to sign the divorce papers already." Su Xiaofei placed her pawn forward.

"I would rather for her not to see Su Haoran anytime soon." She added. "She and our lawyer are still studying the report before they can decide whether to bring the issue to court."

Su Xiaofei had given to her mother the investigation report done by the Yun family on Su Haoran, and Yun Qingrong had a complicated reaction to it.

"Speaking of the issues, I heard that the development plan in the area where Xi Qian lives would be starting soon. You might want to talk to Xi Qian to settle on the sale of her house, before troubles knock on her door."

Su Xiaofei froze on that. She almost forgot her best friend's issue with her own family. Xi Qian would need to secure the selling of her house, even before her parents snoop over the issue.

"Thanks, Xiao Feng."
