Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 216 - Striking A Deal With A Demon (2)Chapter 216 - Striking A Deal With A Demon (2)
Three days later, while Lu Qingfeng was busy moving Mo Yuan from Han Zijun's pharmacy, Su Xiaofei took her chance to visit Qin Muyao's place together with Zhang Ling and Zhang Lan's substitute for the meantime.
Su Xiaofei could feel that Zhang Ling didn't like working with Liu Tan, but she had no other choice but to work with him until her elder sister recovered from her injury.
As the three walked into the lobby of the condominium building where Qin Muyao lived with his mother, Su Xiaofei was receiving curious stares from other guests and homeowners. She specifically dressed up today, looking like a true rich socialite.
When she reached the reception desk, she removed her trendy sunglasses and smiled at the person attending.
"Hi. I'm a friend of the unit owner 362. He's expecting me today." She said with confidence.
"May I have your name, please? The owner of unit 362 didn't notify us of your visit, Miss."
"It's Manager Su of Bluemedia Entertainment. You can clarify this with him if you want."
The receptionist did what she was told and notified Qin Muyao, leaving Su Xiaofei and her two bodyguards to wait.

Anyway, she was confident that Qin Muyao and his mother wouldn't be able to deny meeting her today. Since Qin Muyao was practically being canceled not only by the public, but also by his agency and his endorsements, his options were already limited.
As expected, Su Xiaofei was given a go signal to go up with her bodyguards by the receptionist. After thanking the woman, Su Xiaofei didn't waste her time and took the elevator to meet them.
Zhang Ling took the chance to knock on Qin Muyao's door, while Liu Tan looked around to make sure no one was keeping an eye on them.
The door opened, revealing a woman in her early forties. There was a slight darkening under her eyes and her skin a little too pale. It was obvious that she had been under a lot of stress lately.
"You are Manager Su?" Qin Muyao's mother asked Zhang Ling as she gave the latter a good look.
"No." Zhang Ling stepped aside and revealed the young woman behind her. "My miss here is Manager Su."
"Good afternoon, Miss Huo. May I have a word with you?" Su Xiaofei asked with a smile.
Miss Huo was slightly taken aback as she didn't expect that this Manager Su who wanted to meet them was quite young.
"E-en. Please come in." She said, opening the door wider for Su Xiaofei.
Once the three entered the unit, Miss Huo looked out the hallway, making sure that there were no paparazzi following them.
"Manager Su, is there a reason you want to meet us?" Qin Muyao, who had now lost his glory and fame in public, was seated on the couch looking as if the whole world was against him.
"I apologize for his manners, Manager Su. It's just… it's just that it's been so hard for us." Miss Huo rubbed her arm, looking at her son. Her expression filled with worry. "Please take a seat."
"I won't waste your time then." Su Xiaofei took a seat on a vacant armchair and regarded the young actor. "I came here to make a deal with you."
"What could I possibly offer you, Manager Su? Don't you know that I've already lost everything?" Qin Muyao said with sarcasm.
"Really? Did you mean to say that your mother here doesn't mean anything to you?" Su Xiaofei retorted.
Qin Muyao opened his mouth in shock, not expecting that Su Xiaofei would say something like that. He then turned his head to look at his mother, realizing that he wasn't the only one who was suffering because of the recent scandal.
A flash of guilt passed through his eyes and he lowered his head.

Su Xiaofei extended her hand and Liu Tan immediately handed him the documents they prepared earlier.
"I'll clear your name in public, but in return, you'll be repaying me with your service for twenty years." Su Xiaofei then presented a contract to Qin Muyao.
"Twenty years!" Miss Huo exclaimed.
His mother took it from her, then read the contents together with her son. Their eyes widened upon seeing the terms and conditions before giving Su Xiaofei a confused look.
"You say you can clear Xiao Yao's name?" Miss Huo asked, wanting to know if Su Xiaofei could really help her son this time.
So many people had already turned their backs on them, refusing to help them with the scandal Qin Muyao was facing. His ex-girlfriend came from an affluent family and had a lot of connections compared to them.
Qin Muyao's career had just started flourishing, but this scandal had effectively ruined his chances to continue any further. His career suffered greatly from it.
"En. I can do that, but you have to know that you will be indebted to me for a long time." Su Xiaofei said, not bothering to hide the wicked glint in her eyes.
Qin Muyao gave her a good look and could sense that she didn't come here out of goodwill. She was like a demoness who came to trick him to seal a deal with her. The contract was heavily favoring Su Xiaofei, and it was indicated that he would be bound to work specifically under her supervision and not under Bluemedia.
His hold on the contract tightened as he repeatedly read the terms written on it. However, he knew that if he didn't take this chance, it would never appear in front of him for a second time.
But would he dare? Would he sell himself to a demoness to save his future?
