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

And so, Su Xiaofei continued to live and act normally, trying to suppress the growing uncertainty in her heart. She also couldn't care less about her twenty-fourth birthday that was coming up in a few days, and she needed to attend an event to represent her mother and Bluemedia.

She knew that it would be the first encounter she would have with Mo Yuchen after so many years of not seeing each other personally, but she would rather see Lu Qingfeng now and be with him rather than seeing Mo Yuchen's annoying face.

A stupid bastard like Mo Yuchen deserved to stay inside the trash bin where he belongs. However, because Su Xiaofei's mind was still on Lu Qingfeng, she didn't have the energy to scheme against her ex-husband in their next meeting.

For the following days, Su Xiaofei focused on her work until she didn't realize that it was almost the weekend, and she needed to discuss the said event with her mother.

"Feifei, if you are tired, I can attend the event instead." Yun Qingrong gave her daughter a worried look. She could see that Feifei was pretending that everything was alright, despite the news blackout that was going on about Lu Qingfeng's accident.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vel(F)ire

It had been a week, but they still had yet to hear anything from the Lu family. However, Yun Qingrong couldn't blame Chairman Lu as she knew that this could be his own way to protect Lu Qingfeng. As for her daughter, Yun Qingrong was pained to see her like this.

"It's okay, Mama. I can manage. It would be a shame if I miss the event after confirming my attendance." Su Xiaofei answered with a small smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes as it usually would.

Yun Qingrong wanted to probe her daughter a little more, but it was quite obvious that no matter what she said, Feifei would continue to pretend that she was fine, even if she wasn't.

"I can't just leave everything to you." She insisted. "You've been working overtime for a week now. Why don't you call it a day for now, Feifei?"

Su Xiaofei shook her head and hooked her arm with her mother's, aware that her bodyguards were following closely behind them.

"You are the one who needs a break, Mama. You've just returned from your business trip and yet you are already here and calling for a board meeting. I wouldn't be able to focus and finish my work if you continue working hard like this, despite what your doctor told you." She retorted.

Yun Qingrong didn't have the heart to argue with her daughter anymore after hearing Feifei's concern towards her. Indeed, with her age, it was normal for her to catch various illnesses as an aftermath of her busy schedule.

Bluemedia had greatly improved not only in status in the industry, but had also grown immensely as a company. After her failed marriage with Su Haoran, she had focused her attention on the company and tried to spend more quality time with her young daughter.

Now that Su Xiaofei had become the managing director of Bluemedia, Yun Qingrong's responsibilities had lessened dramatically. It gave her some leeway to hand some tasks to her daughter and delegate the rest to the others.

"If you are sure…" Still, as a mother, how can Yun Qingrong not worry about her daughter's welfare?

"I'm definitely sure, Mama. Leave the rest to me for now. Aren't you the one who also told me it's important to make connections in this industry? You have accompanied and introduced me to so many of your acquaintances. They were merely treating me well out of respect for you, so now, it's time for me to earn their respects myself." Su Xiaofei patted her mother's arm affectionately, aware that they were now getting a lot of attention as they walked through the main lobby of the company building, but she only flashed a smile towards them and resumed her walk with her mother.

By now, most of the employees of Bluemedia were aware of Su Xiaofei's identity, although it was normal for the guests to mistake her as another talent of the company. Su Xiaofei and the front desk receptionists were already used to this, and they would only smile whenever these guests inquired about Su Xiaofei's debut as a celebrity.

"Alright. If you insist." Yun Qingrong conceded. She knew what Su Xiaofei had just said was right, and her daughter needed to hone her skills and build networks on her own if she wanted to secure her position as the future CEO of Bluemedia.

"But you don't have to stay until the end. It's alright if you decide to call it a night early, I'm sure they wouldn't blame you for it, as long as you've done your round of pleasantries."

"Thanks, Mama. I will keep that in mind. Please don't bother to wait for me tonight. I'll be home as soon as I can. I promise." Su Xiaofei replied, but she could already feel her exhaustion from the long days of work.

However, she also knew that this meeting with Mo Yuchen couldn't be avoided as long as they were both working in the showbiz industry. Mo Yuchen had just been named the head of Golden Star Entertainment now, but it didn't change the fact that he was still in a volatile situation, where everyone was waiting for him to commit a mistake to criticize him.

Su Xiaofei didn't dare mention to her mother the possibility of her meeting Mo Yuchen at the said event, but she didn't want to make her mother more worried than she already was.

She also didn't want her mother to see the nasty side of her, as she had nurtured and kept her filial and kind daughter image in Yun Qingrong's eyes and the Yun family.. She planned to deal with her ex-husband on her own terms, without anyone obstructing her way in the process.
