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

Chapter 22 - One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure (2)

Su Xiaofei inwardly rejoiced. So long as Yun Qingrong was on her side, Su Haoran and the rest wouldn't be able to easily bully her under her protection. She didn't want to think that she was manipulating and taking advantage of Yun Qingrong like other villainesses would, but Su Xiaofei couldn't think of any other way to protect both of them from others aside from doing this.

"I wasn't sure what I should do, Mama but..."

Yun Qingrong, who was still worried about her daughter's condition, kept wondering if Su Xiaofei was feeling ill again. She wasn't able to focus at work ever since her daughter was rushed to the hospital, and it didn't help that her husband wasn't around to help her at the company.

Su Xiaofei then proceeded to narrate how she met Aunty Chen and Chen Li before she came down for lunch and how Chen Li was wearing the gift Yun Qingrong gifted her two years ago. Her tone was low and words careful, giving her a look of a young woman being wronged by others in front of her mother.

Yun Qingrong's face hardened, while Aunty Liu covered her mouth in shock upon hearing what Su Xiaofei had witnessed earlier. None of them had suspected that something like that was happening under their noses. If Su Xiaofei hadn't seen Chen Li earlier, they would have no idea that the Chen family was disrespecting their masters this way.

"Madam, please forgive this old woman. I have no idea Madam Chen and Chen Li would do such a thing…" The old woman apologized, knowing that she was also responsible for keeping the closet on the third floor organized and tidied.

She had no idea that Chen Li was doing such a thing behind her back, and wondered why Madam Chen wasn't reprimanding her daughter for acting this way.

"It's not your fault, Aunty Liu. You aren't the only one who has the key to Feifei's closet." Yun Qingrong mumbled, her hand tightening on her teacup.

For Chen Li to act like this, wasn't she simply disrespecting her masters by stealing clothes from Su Xiaofei? For Yun Qingrong, Su Xiaofei was her greatest treasure, and she would never allow anyone to bully her daughter, especially in her own turf.

Where did Chen Li get the guts to act like this? Did she think that because she was related to Su Haoran, Yun Qingrong would let her off?

She had accepted Su Haoran's plea to let the Chen family work in their household after Madam Chen's husband passed away five years ago. To think that they would treat her daughter like this, Yun Qingrong was fuming with anger.

"I'm sorry, Mama. You always tell me to give things I don't use to others if they want it, but I want that dress you gifted me... no matter if I can wear it or not." Su Xiaofei continued pouring fuel to the fire.

"It's okay, Feifei. What you did is right. Let Mama and Aunty Liu deal with them, okay? It's not your fault that Chen Li sneaked in and used your belongings"

Her Feifei shouldn't feel wronged like this. How could they even have the audacity to think that they could do whatever they wanted just because they were related to her husband?

The more Yun Qingrong thought about it, the more upset she became, knowing that her Feifei was the one being wronged by her husband's relatives. If it wasn't for Su Haoran, why else would she allow those three to live with them in this household?

"No, Mama. It's clearly not okay. I shouldn't have talked like that to Aunty Chen in a fit of anger." Su Xiaofei shook her head. She secretly wanted to see to what extent Yun Qingrong would go to protect her from her useless father.

She needed to sever the bond between Yun Qingrong and Su Haoran in order to make sure that she and her mother wouldn't get dragged into the scandals her adoptive father would have to deal with in the future, and there was a ton of it.

As for the Chen family, why should she need to be merciful towards them? In her past life, those three had made her life harder, by ruining her reputation and forbidding her to meet her mother for the last time.

Su Xiaofei couldn't forget Madam Chen and Chen Li's mocking expression as they asked the security to lead her away from her mother's hospital room. With Bluemedia falling into the hands of Su Haoran and with Ye Mingyu's career flourishing, there was no need for them to be polite towards her.

As for Chen Hao, she wouldn't have broken her right leg if it wasn't for him. Back then, in an attempt to save herself from being sexually molested by him after her divorce with Mo Yuchen, she had desperately thrown herself down the stairs. This action resulted in her being crippled for the rest of her life. It made sense to Su Xiaofei why Lu Qingfeng crippled the man himself and made sure he wasn't able to use his third leg in the future.

However, this time, Su Xiaofei decided to seek revenge against them on her own terms.

Yun Qingrong remained silent and shut her eyes, trying to rein her simmering anger. To think that she and her daughter were being looked down upon by her husband's relatives. If she was to turn a blind eye on this, she had no doubt that they would go overboard in the future.

"I'll talk to your Papa about them. Regardless of who they are, you are right, Feifei… we cannot allow a thief to stay in our household. Your Aunty Liu and I will check the wardrobe on the third floor. Leave this problem to your elders."

Su Xiaofei chewed her lip, but decided not to say anything anymore.. Since she had already got what she wanted from her mother, she should know when to stop to maximize the impression she was hoping for.
