Chapter 9 - What Game Are You Playing Now? (1)
The twenty five year old Lu Qingfeng who came in the last moments of her life, looked better than this trashy excuse for a man.
In the past, even before Ye Mingyu arrived in their life, Mo Yuchen hadn't been paying attention to Su Xiaofei. If it wasn't for Elder Mo's agreement with Su Xiaofei's father, Su Haoran, he wouldn't have wasted his time seeing this woman in front of him. He would always cut their meetings short using the same excuse Su Xiaofei had just said today.
'I have other important things to attend to. You don't have to see me out.' He would say before leaving, without giving Su Xiaofei a chance to argue with him.
"You wouldn't mind if I didn't see you out, right?" Su Xiaofei told him with a mocking smile on her lips.
Mo Yuchen scowled and gave Su Xiaofei a dirty look. How dare this woman look down on him?!
Aunty Liu, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was stunned upon hearing her young miss's scathing words. Did Su Xiaofei have a fight with Young Master Mo before? What's more, her miss's actions were completely different from her brash attitude.
Mo Yuchen's expression darkened with his piercing gaze focused on the woman in front of him. He wasn't sure why Su Xiaofei was acting like this. Was she changing tactics to get his attention?
He couldn't help but pull her chin, forcing her to look at him. His tall stature was bent forward as he leaned his face close to Su Xiaofei's.
As he came closer, he wasn't sure why he thought that this woman had a good skin complexion and he noticed how thick her eyelashes were. His thin lips pressed into a line when he noticed her equally cold indifference in her eyes.
"Is this one of your ploys to get my attention? You are really getting worse!"
Su Xiaofei glared back at him with the same intensity before pushing his hand away from her face.
"You are overthinking, Young Master Mo. I assure you, I just don't want you to waste your time on me." She said with irritation. "Elder Mo isn't here anyway, and everyone has seen you come here. You've already done your part."
Now that she wasn't muddleheaded anymore and wasn't in love with this horrible person, her mind was clearer and she wasn't blinded with her infatuation. If there was someone who deserved to be loved and cherished, it would be Lu Qingfeng.
Thinking of what happened to Lu Qingfeng in her past life, Su Xiaofei didn't know what she should do at the moment. Was she moved by his loyalty after her death? Did she love Lu Qingfeng now? She wasn't sure at all. She had been fighting with Ye Mingyu over Mo Yuchen for years, causing her to neglect several people in her life. It was hard to tell what she truly felt for Lu Qingfeng now that she was reborn.
Thinking of what she experienced in the past and how this horrible man treated her, in Su Xiaofei's eyes he couldn't be compared to Lu Qingfeng at all. Being reborn, she was given a chance to correct her mistakes and avoid the tragedies that were about to befall her loved ones.
She wouldn't waste her youth for Mo Yuchen, this scumbag, again. Also, she wouldn't give Ye Mingyu any chance to take advantage of her weaknesses, and would do her best to preserve Xi Qian's life and Lu Qingfeng's happiness.
Su Xiaofei then remembered the words Lu Qingfeng told her before her death. He said that he loved her. At that time, she wasn't sure what to feel about it. However, now that she was reborn, for Lu Qingfeng to be able to lead a happier life, would it be better for him not to fall in love with her?
Since when did his feelings for her start anyway? Su Xiaofei wondered.
Lu Qingfeng treated her really well and though they argued sometimes, that young man knew when to retreat, allowing her to calm down. Therefore, Su Xiaofei had no idea when he had fallen in love with her.
The difference in their age was three years, with Su Xiaofei being the older one. Because they lived in the same neighborhood in their younger years, Su Xiaofei had treated Lu Qingfeng like a younger brother. Although she was older, as they grew up, Lu Qingfeng was the one who always looked after her.
By this time, Lu Qingfeng should be around fifteen years old, still a kid that was on the cusp of adulthood. He was too young for him to harbor such feelings for her.
Even if he had, she had to make sure that he would be able to turn his affection to another person. After what happened to him in her past life, how could Su Xiaofei be greedy and accept his feelings for her? If it wasn't because of her, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't become the tyrant that people were terrified of. She must take responsibility for the pitiful life he led in the past.
As for Mo Yuchen, who was still glaring at her right now, Su Xiaofei remembered that her adoptive mother, Yun Qingrong persuaded her not to marry him, entirely because of the crisis of his family's company.
Five years from now, Golden Star Entertainment would face a crisis, and in the past, Mo Yuchen sought Yun Qingrong's help, but she refused. However, once he became her son-in-law and Su Xiaofei's husband, she wouldn't have a choice but to help Mo Yuchen avoid bankruptcy for her daughter's sake.
Yun Qingrong was truly against their union, however, her traitorous husband, Su Haoran, insisted that they should give their family some face and not back out from the engagement of the two.
"Su Xiaofei, your attitude is getting worse each day!" Mo Yuchen glared at her icily.
"Just who do you think you are to scold our Xiaofei?"
