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

Chapter 131 - Words Were Like Water (1)

In the end, Si Yixian decided to sue Chen Li, despite her young age, to teach her a lesson not to scheme against other people and not to covet others' possessions. He would have changed his mind and let her off the hook, but he didn't see any regrets or remorse on her face at all.

Alas, she only wanted to drag Su Xiaofei to her demise, pushing all the blame to her former young miss as if it was Su Xiaofei's fault that she had been stealing her things and impersonating her identity. It was clear that Chen Li wasn't planning to admit her mistakes and take responsibility for them.

Words were like water, once poured out, it could never be retrieved by the person who had uttered them. It was impossible for others not to see Chen Li's blackened heart.

No wonder Su Xiaofei was the way she was. It's because she had this kind of people around her. It was her way of defending herself and her oblivious mother from this kind of scheme towards them. If he was in her shoes, Si Yixian knew that one had to become a frightening monster too if he was facing a ton of them.

"Mr. Si, we're sorry you had to witness this. I hope you wouldn't think badly of my mother and would continue working with Bluemedia in the future." Su Xiaofei said as she followed Si Yixian and his assistant outside the interrogation room where Chen Li was being held with her mother.

"There's no need to be polite, Miss Su. You can just call me Andrew like the rest." Si Yixian said as he pulled out a business card from his coat and handed it to her. "Please visit us anytime at the boutique. Our boutique is open to serve valuable customers like you."

Su Xiaofei lowered her eyes to hide the amused glint that appeared in them. Not only had she sent Chen Li and her mother into deep despair, but she was also able to meet Si Yixian this early. There was a reason why she needed to get acquainted with him.

Before Feng Xue'er career shot up, Si Yixian dominated the fashion industry with his otherworldly creations that not only made a name in the local industry but also extended abroad. If it wasn't for his depression due to his sister's disappearance, Si Yixian's name wouldn't be forgotten by everyone and be replaced by Feng Xue'er.

In this lifetime, she would make sure that none of her enemies would get what they wanted at the expense of others' dreams and life. She wouldn't allow Si Yixian's light to fade off so easily. She wasn't doing this to help him, but herself.

"Thanks, Andrew. I will be sure to visit with my mother soon." She replied before bidding them goodbye, aware that they left their company lawyer to deal with the filing of a lawsuit against Chen Li.

She smiled to herself as she watched Si Yixian leave with his assistant. They met too early in this lifetime, but that's fine. In the future, she would be able to gain his support by leading him to meet the sister he longed to meet again.

Su Xiaofei had thought of the possible outcomes before she set Chen Li up. She knew that the young woman would covet the very same little black dress made by Si Yixian, and naturally, the man himself would get involved when a counterfeit version of his dress emerged somewhere.

Knowing that breaking the friendship between Ye Mingyu and Feng Xue'er wouldn't be enough to stop the latter's career from rising and the end of Si Yixian's life, Su Xiaofei decided to ease this situation. Saving Si Yixian's life would not only prevent Feng Xue'er from rising, but Su Xiaofei would also gain a valuable bargaining chip in the future.

Perhaps she would be able to use Yun Xiang's growing fondness for her once she was certain that the man wouldn't easily fall for Ye Mingyu's charms. Naturally, the man was still a thorn in her eyes, but he still had some use for her, so she couldn't offend her mother's family by ruining Yun Xiang this early.

'We will meet again, Si Yixian. It's enough to know that you are still alive and well for now.' She thought. There were still many chances for them to meet in the future and to deepen their connections.

As for Chen Li… well, there's no more hope for her now. Since Si Yixian wasn't moved by her begging earlier and decided to sue her, Chen Li was facing at least five years in the correctional facility for minors. If Su Xiaofei decided to sue her for defamation and identity theft, another five years was guaranteed to be added to her punishment.

By the time Chen Li leaves the facility, she would be at least twenty-six, already at the peak of her life as a woman. However, it would be hard for her to live amongst her peers and regain her reputation in public. She would need to pull a miracle to be able to do that.

'At least she could return to the countryside and live the rest of her life there in peace, that is, if she is willing to abandon her lavish lifestyle and live amongst the farmers.' Su Xiaofei thought.

It wasn't like Su Xiaofei was looking down on people working menial jobs. In fact, if she was given a chance, perhaps being reborned and living as a commoner wouldn't be so bad after all. She wouldn't need to worry about a stepsister coveting after her inheritance, or about men who would only like her for the money and influence her family could provide.

As Si Yixian left with his assistant, no one noticed the deep pool of blackened stagnant water reflected in Su Xiaofei's eyes, like a predator waiting for its prey to make a mistake, patiently with chilling eyes.
