Chapter 66   - Ye Mingyu's Arrival (2)

And just like that, three days had passed and the peaceful days Su Xiaofei was enjoying had finally come to an end. The news about a new beautiful transfer student had filled the hallways, spreading like wildfire among the students in the academy.

While everyone was curious as to who it was and how she looked, only Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian weren't bothered about it and were currently reviewing the lesson they had yesterday. Xi Qian was helping Su Xiaofei organize her notes for later use.

"Ah, that makes a lot of sense, Qian. I didn't know it was this easy." Su Xiaofei said once she got the gist on how to use the equation in their math problems clearly with her best friend's help.

Xi Qian smiled, glad that she was able to help Su Xiaofei.

"See. If you set aside your complaints first and listen to our explanation, you wouldn't fail your exams before." She said with a teasing smile to her best friend.

Su Xiaofei huffed and rolled her eyes. Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng really knew which buttons to press to annoy her.

Someone opened the windows inside the classroom, allowing the breeze to cool everyone inside. It was already afternoon, but the air was extremely refreshing for students who enjoyed the spring while others up north of the country were now trembling with freezing cold due to winter.

The laughter of the other students outside reached Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian's ears, taking their attention away from the lessons they were discussing. It seemed like there was a crowd outside as it was unusually noisy for them not to notice.

"Is that the new transfer student? She looks charming." One of their classmates commented, upon seeing what caused the commotion outside.

While Xi Qian was curious about the new transfer student, Su Xiaofei remained unperturbed in her seat. She didn't need to see to confirm who it was, as she already knew that no other person can attract such a crowd with her mere face, except for Ye Mingyu.

"Wondering what my new Jiejie looks like, Qian? You should go and see the girl who dared to scam my mother last week for yourself." Su Xiaofei gave her best friend a meaningful smile.

Xi Qian was stunned in place before recognition dawned on her. Did Su Xiaofei mean that the new transfer student was her father's love child with another woman, the very same one who came to see them before?

Without a word, Xi Qian went to the windows a few meters away from their classmates to see the young woman who claimed to be their Feifei's older sister. Her eyes caught a young woman, supposedly around the same age as her and Feifei.

The young woman was like a flower on a spring day, fresh and gentle to look at. She had a smile that could easily warm one's heart upon looking at it. Compared to Su Xiaofei's foxy clear eyes, the woman called Ye Mingyu had a pair of round eyes, high nose and rosy lips.

Her complexion was a little darker than Su Xiaofei, but Xi Qian had to admit that Ye Mingyu's beauty was worthy of her sudden popularity among the students. To be honest, she looked angelic and kind. Something that evokes overprotectiveness in young men who might get acquainted with her.

However, there was something about Ye Mingyu that she couldn't explain. Ye Mingyu was smiling brightly, but why did Xi Qian feel like all of this was just a facade? That Ye Mingyu was befriending everyone for a reason.

It's not like she was being biased because Su Xiaofei was her best friend, but when she heard about the news of her Aunty Qing divorcing her husband, she asked Su Xiaofei about it and found out about Ye Mingyu's existence.

It made sense to her now why Su Xiaofei chased the mother and daughter away. Xi Qian might not be a daughter from a wealthy family like Feifei, but she was aware of the common schemes that could happen in such families.

Xi Qian returned to her seat and remained silent. She eyed her best friend and noticed that Su Xiaofei wasn't bothered with Ye Mingyu's sudden appearance at their academy. Xi Qian feared that with Ye Mingyu's appearance, Feifei would be forcibly isolated and hated by everyone again.

"So, what do you think, Qian?" Su Xiaofei asked her, cupping her chin with one hand as she lazily thought about what she should eat after school.

"I don't know, Feifei, but I feel uncomfortable looking at her. Something about her made me feel like I should stay away from her or else, I might become public enemy number 2 after you." Xi Qian didn't dare to lie to her best friend.

Su Xiaofei chuckled at that. If Xi Qian, the person who she knew was the kindest even to the extent to feed the stray cats her own food, could sense Ye Mingyu was trouble, how did Su Xiaofei fail to realize it in her previous life?

"Feifei, you better be wary of that woman!" Xi Qian leaned forward to whisper to her. "Who knows what she is up to this time. If she revealed her relationship with you, I fear that our schoolmates would criticize you for not looking after your sister."

"She's not my sister. At least for me." Su Xiaofei said nonchalantly. "But thank you, Qian. I will make sure not to take advantage of her. Since she was the one who willingly came here, I suppose that she would try to get along with me."

Su Xiaofei then scoffed inwardly as she thought of how Su Haoran had already left their home and her mother had already sent to him the divorce papers, but he still refused to sign them.

'Perhaps I need to threaten the old man to give up on my mother.' She thought.. She needed to find something that she could use to blackmail her useless father.
