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

Waiting for the news of Lu Qingfeng's condition was one of the hardest things Su Xiaofei had to endure ever since her rebirth. When Xi Qian and Song Yiran heard the news on television, the two hurried to see Su Xiaofei to find out more about the accident and how Lu Qingfeng was doing.

The three were silently waiting inside Su Xiaofei's office, while Yun Qingrong excused herself to make a follow-up call to her brothers, leaving her daughter in her friends' company.

"Feifei…" Xi Qian held her best friend in a vice-like grip. She had never seen Su Xiaofei distraught and scared like this for as long as they knew each other. Even when Ye Mingyu appeared in her life, Xi Qian never saw her best friend lose composure like this.

However, it was obvious that Su Xiaofei was trying her best not to burst into tears, which only made Xi Qian worried about her.

'How unsettling.' Xi Qian thought. Lu Qingfeng hadn't mentioned anything from their last conversation about him returning to Qiying City today.

'Damnit, you little tyrant! You can't just die and leave Feifei like this!' Xi Qian cursed Lu Qingfeng in her heart, but it was obvious that she was also concerned about his safety.

It had been three hours since the news spread like wildfire over the mainstream and social media. Zhang Ling had been persistently trying to contact either Nine or Miss Katarina, but neither of them were answering the calls and messages. The other members of the elite guard of the Lu family were also mum about the current condition of their master.

Should they drive back to Qiying City? Zhang Ling wondered. But it would take over two hours to reach their destination, and it was uncertain if their Master was really hurt from the accident or not.

When Yun Qingrong came back, Su Xiaofei rose to her feet, expecting news from her mother.

"Your uncle said that Xiao Feng was rushed to the hospital, but Chairman Lu requested privacy for now as the investigation is still ongoing." Yun Qingrong said.

Su Xiaofei forced herself not to break down and cry at that very moment. Instead, she nodded in understanding and told the Zhang sisters to drive her home with Xi Qian.

"We should respect Grandfather Lu's request for now. Let's go home and wait for the news there instead." She said in a low voice, before leaving her office without looking back at her companions.

Yun Qingrong and Xi Qian could only watch her worriedly while the Zhang siblings hurriedly picked up the things Su Xiaofei left along with her purse and ran after her.

"She must be worried sick about Lu Qingfeng." Song Yiran commented once Su Xiaofei and her bodyguards were out of their sight.

"It can't be helped. Xiao Feng has been with her for a long time. It must have killed her to know that she isn't able to see him when he needs her and at such a critical time." Xi Qian replied, as they stepped out of Su Xiaofei's office, with Yun Qingrong locking the door behind them.

"Since Chairman Lu has given us an answer, there's nothing else we could do but wait." She told Xi Qian and Song Yiran. "I guess it's time for us to go home for now. I'm sure they would give us a call if something came up."

Su Xiaofei had returned home with her bodyguards, aware that her mother and Xi Qian were following behind her. As she returned home, she suddenly became more aware of the emptiness she was feeling inside.

She didn't wait for anyone and went straight to her darkened room, not bothering to turn on the lights to see her surroundings. Su Xiaofei leaned against her door and allowed herself to slump on the cold floor, her heart feeling more numb than ever.

There's no way that she would believe that Lu Qingfeng would die in vain in this lifetime. She clutched the side of her head and rested it on top of her knees. Su Xiaofei refused to believe that Lu Qingfeng would come back to Qiying City without informing her ahead of time.

It took time for Su Xiaofei to finally recover from her shock. Once she did, she leaned her head against the door and looked at the close doors of her balcony that were directly across her. Lu Qingfeng's words replayed in her mind, trying to soothe her, calm her from her anxiety.

She believed Lu Qingfeng's words, and since he made a promise to her, it wasn't possible for him to be involved in that massive road accident. Now that she was able to calm down and give everything a good thought, Su Xiaofei realized that although the news indeed showed a wrecked car that was owned by the Lu family, there was something odd about the accident.

It was said that Lu Qingfeng had an entourage with him. But as far as Su Xiaofei knew, he was one who liked to be discreet with almost everything. He wasn't one to brag about his wealth and status, and certainly didn't like having a long entourage of cars and people following him around.

'Lu Qingfeng, what are you trying to do?' Su Xiaofei thought as she got up from her seated position before releasing her long hair from her ponytail, allowing it to tumble behind her. From the looks of it, it seemed to her that Lu Qingfeng was luring someone into a trap.

Su Xiaofei narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Considering what she had witnessed what Lu Qingfeng had done during the time she hovered around as a ghost, it was possible that this was merely an attempt to startle the snakes in the bushes.

A wicked smile spread on her lips as she thought about it. She could only hope that her assumptions about Lu Qingfeng were correct.

'Ah, Lu Qingfeng. Why are you making me worry for nothing?'
