An hour later, Su Xiaofei was bombarded with congratulatory greetings from the guests of the Lu family. She plastered her usual cordial smile as she interacted with the guests, aware that Lu Qingfeng's eyes were following her. Her husband wasn't even trying to pretend as he continued to follow her with his gaze while he continued his conversation with his business associates.

"Ah, you should have seen how my father reacted when Lu Qingfeng announced your marriage. He was really an idiot if he thought that Lu Qingfeng would fall for a beauty trap when he's already smitten with you." Lu Jinglin commented next to her. The woman was dressed in a tight fitting black dress that reached her knees tonight.

"You really like seeing your father angered to death, don't you?" Su Xiaofei arched a brow at her husband's cousin. A little amused that this woman was playing a dangerous game with her own father.

"What can I say? It's tit for tat for all the horrible things he did to me." Lu Jinglin shrugged before thanking Xi Qian for handing her a flute of champagne. She was more at ease, now that she was in Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian's company. She could feel her father's glaring daggers at her earlier, but she couldn't be bothered to acknowledge his presence.

"Isn't that Qin Ying? What is she doing here?" Xi Qian spotted a familiar face next to Lu Jinglin's father and furrowed her brows in confusion.

"What else? She's trying to be the next Madam Lu, but Su Xiaofei has already beaten her to it." Lu Jinglin muttered, until she saw Xiao Rufeng making her way towards them.

"Oh my god. Isn't that Xiao Rufeng? I can't believe my luck! I'm a big fan of hers!" She fanned herself with one hand, attempting to calm herself down from being starstruck, but failed.

Xiao Rufeng greeted Su Xiaofei and gave Xi Qian a hug, much to Lu Jinglin's surprise.

"You know each other?" Lu Jinglin's eyes widened as she looked at the three women in front of her. She suddenly felt like she didn't belong in Su Xiaofei's circle. "Why are you surprised? Are you forgetting that Xiao Rufeng is signed under Bluemedia?" Xi Qian laughed at her.

"Oh, right! Silly me." Lu Jinglin laughed at herself. "Thanks, Miss Xi. Actually, I almost thought that she was signed to Top Tier Entertainment with Ye Mingyu."

"Why would you think that?" Xi Qian frowned.

"Because Ye Mingyu has the same style as Xiao Rufeng recently. Didn't you notice? Their makeup, their dress style as well as how they project themselves in front of the camera is almost the same. A little more and I would think it's some kind of marketing style to build their image as a team."

Xiao Rufeng gave her manager a worried look. This wasn't the first time she heard this comment though. Indeed, Ye Mingyu's image in public had changed dramatically overnight and her name was always being dragged in comparison to Ye Mingyu.

"My assistant said the same thing, Feifei. What should we do?"

Xi Qian frowned and furrowed her brows in annoyance.

"Isn't it like Ye Mingyu riding Rufeng's coat-tails and using her popularity to give herself a boost?" She commented.

"Let's talk about it later." Su Xiaofei replied, but it was obvious that she was also caught off guard with the news.

She had heard that Ye Mingyu got a new manager now from Top Tier, but she was aware that Ye Mingyu's manager was trying to clean up after the mess her talent had made all this while. Ever since her last encounter with Ye Mingyu, it was becoming harder for her to predict what was going on in that woman's mind.

Su Xiaofei thought that Ye Mingyu was trying to find a way to steal her identity and her body, but now, Ye Mingyu seemed to be targeting Xiao Rufeng instead.

"Feifei, can I have a moment with you please? I want to introduce you to someone." Lu Qingfeng suddenly appeared, taking her attention.

Lu Jinglin nudged Su Xiaofei to go with her cousin.

"Go now. I'm pretty sure A-Feng can't wait to show you off as his wife to his associates." She laughed at her cousin's annoyed expression.

"You are talking nonsense once again, Lin'er." He scoffed, taking his wife's hand in his arm.

"Is she?" Xi Qian gave him a grin. "We both know that you couldn't wait to put a ring on her finger even when we're younger."

Lu Qingfeng grimaced at that, but didn't say a word in defense, since he knew what Xi Qian said was right while his cousin laughed at Xi Qian's words.

"Give him a break, Qian. It's his night." Su Xiaofei sighed and allowed her husband to lead her away from her friends. Eyes were following them, but neither she nor Lu Qingfeng bothered to meet their gazes.

"Do I need to meet the rest of the family now?" She asked, knowing that being Lu Qingfeng's wife also meant that she needed to tolerate and interact with the rest of the members of the Lu family. Su Xiaofei didn't think that his relatives approved of her as his wife.

"Yes, but don't worry. They're all bark but no bite." Lu Qingfeng tried to assure her. "They also know that offending you is directly disrespecting me as head of the family now. You are expected to be the one in charge of hosting events and parties for the family, aside from giving birth to my child."

"Grandpa, Feifei is here."

The old man immediately ceased talking and faced the couple. He broke into a wide smile as he saw Su Xiaofei.

"Ah! My favorite Xiaofei is here." He exclaimed. "Come here, dear and let me introduce you to some of our relatives."

Su Xiaofei stepped forward and was greeted by the sight of a couple, with the woman holding a familiar young boy in her arms.
