magicChapter 55   - Scheming Daughter (1)

Weekend came and just as Su Xiaofei expected, her mother was too busy at work, so Yun Qingrong wasn't able to accompany her to visit the pharmacy and meet Han Zijun. Lu Qingfeng had offered to accompany her in Yun Qingrong's stead, which the old woman appreciated.

"Sorry, Feifei. I can't go with you today. I need to drop by the office and see how everything is going at the company." Yun Qingrong apologized to her daughter.

"It's okay, Mama. Xiao Feng will accompany me today anyway. I bet he's getting bored waiting for his grandfather to come back." Su Xiaofei kissed her mother goodbye before joining Lu Qingfeng in the backseat of his car and saw Nine sitting in the driver's seat.

Nine. Of course, Su Xiaofei was who he was. Nine was one of the two exclusive assistants Lu Qingfeng had with him. In the past, Nine was the one who executed the dirty works for Lu Qingfeng, while Katarina was the person in charge of Lu Qingfeng's business affairs.

As the car drove away from the Su Residence, Lu Qingfeng took this chance to ask Su Xiaofei.

"Feifei… last night… how did you know that Chen Li would steal your dress?" He asked carefully. He had to admit that he found it suspicious that Su Xiaofei knew beforehand that Chen Li was going to steal that dress and made preparations to deceive the girl.

"Ah, about that. I know for some time now that she has been stealing some of my things and clothes that I don't wear or use. However, the other day, just after her mother was heavily reprimanded by Mama, I saw Chen Li sneaked into the third level closet again and saw her holding the dress in her arms. I had my suspicions, but I didn't think she would actually come last night to steal it."

Su Xiaofei knew she had no choice but to lie to him, and although he was giving her a suspicious look right now, she knew that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't push his luck and force her to make a confession.

So how did she know? It was merely an assumption on her part based on Chen Li's attitude and personality. In her past life, that same little black dress was Chen Li's prized possession. She used to brag a lot about it, as there could only be ten of the same dresses that had been sold to the public by the designer herself.

So how could Chen Li be willing to part with that dress in this lifetime? Given her selfish and arrogant personality, Su Xiaofei had suspected that she would steal it from her before her family got kicked out. Since she had stolen a lot from Su Xiaofei in the past, it wouldn't hurt to add another one, right?

"Is that so? Then she's really bold to add another offense this time." Lu Qingfeng commented. He had heard about the incident where Su Xiaofei had caught Chen Li wearing one of the clothes her mother gifted to her from Aunty Liu and found that the young woman was really bold and stupid not to realize that she was only courting death by offending Su Xiaofei like this.

Since their younger days, Su Xiaofei had been notorious for seeking revenge and getting even with those who offend her or hurt Xi Qian, regardless if they were older than her or not. She would always make sure that they would come home with a bloodied, swollen face, which earned her the title of Young Witch of Southern Qiying.

"What can I say? It's because her mother didn't make any effort to correct her ways at all."

"I am actually feeling bad for Aunty Qing for not knowing how scheming her daughter can be behind her back." Lu Qingfeng sighed, shaking his head in feigned disappointment.

Su Xiaofei's lips curled up, taking no offense from his words.

"My mother doesn't need to know what could hurt her."

Yun Qingrong didn't need to be aware of how vicious her daughter could be, but it couldn't be said to the woman who had given birth to her. In her past life, even that woman had become an obstacle in Su Xiaofei's life, assisting Ye Mingyu to make her life a living hell.

'That woman can never be my mother. My mother is no one but Yun Qingrong.' Su Xiaofei thought, as she remembered the woman who gave birth to her. In this lifetime, she would make sure to get even with everyone who harmed her in the past.

When they arrived at the pharmacy, Han Zijun welcomed them with a smile before allowing them to follow him inside his office, the same room where he treated Su Xiaofei a week ago. He checked on Su Xiaofei's stitched wound and commented on how fast and well it was healing.

It was only the second time Lu Qingfeng had seen Su Xiaofei's injuries, but his face couldn't contain his anger and disappointment over the incident. Still, in the end, he chose to keep his opinion to himself, as he was in no place to voice out his anger.

"Brother Han, do you have medicine to stop the wound from leaving a scar? I don't want to be marked with a scar for the rest of my life." Su Xiaofei asked once Han Zijun started prescribing her another set of medicines for her wound. She cannot afford to ruin her face nor her body if she wanted to enter the showbiz again.

Han Zijun smiled at the young woman in front of him. He had been made aware of her relationship with Yun Qingrong and the Yun family. According to Master Ouyang, it seemed like the Yun family was interested to meet this young woman.

"Ah, yes, we do. Don't worry, I will make sure that it won't leave a scar. Just make sure to diligently apply the topical solution once the stitches have been removed.." He replied, earning a satisfied smile from Su Xiaofei.
