Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 469 The Lu Family (2)Su Xiaofei noticed that her husband was nervous tonight, judging by the way he impatiently adjusted the collar of his shirt, up to the way he kept checking the time on his watch. She rarely saw him act like this, which only meant that their meeting with the rest of the Lu family tonight was a big deal for Lu Qingfeng.
She wanted to tell him to calm down and assure him that everything would be alright, but she didn't. The fact that his relatives were the ones responsible behind the scheme to take his life, which prevented Lu Qingfeng from reuniting with her in her previous life, filled Su Xiaofei with bitterness.
She knew that it was one of the things Lu Qingfeng regretted after her death. If only he was able to come back to her safely, he might be able to change her mind from pursuing her marriage with Mo Yuchen. Alas, nothing could be done now, but at least her husband managed to avoid the accident.
In the Lu family, the only person Lu Qingfeng was close to was his grandfather. Almost everything he knew, whether in academics or running businesses, he learned from his grandfather.
The old man held the highest position in the company, and now that he was the only direct descendant of Chairman Lu, it was obvious that he was more stern and strict towards Lu Qingfeng. Despite this, Lu Qingfeng strived to meet his grandfather's expectations.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDue to the premature death of his parents, the old man doted on and loved Lu Qingfeng the most. This was why in their previous life, when Lu Qingfeng made his intention clear, that he wanted to pursue and take Su Xiaofei as his wife, his grandfather gave him his unconditional support. It was a pity that the young man wasn't able to do this, as he had already fallen into a coma even before reuniting with her.
These thoughts made Su Xiaofei feel horrible. Thankfully, she managed to change the events in this lifetime and married him.
As for the rest of the Lu family… Well, they had no choice but to acknowledge her as the future household mistress of the family, because there was no way she would leave her post and hand it over to another woman of their liking.
This time, Nine came and drove them to the Lu family ancestral estate located in the outskirts of Shenjing. Su Xiaofei's eyes fell upon the huge estate that she had never gotten a chance to see nor to step into in her previous life.
The estate was traditional and magnificent. After their car entered the gate, it still took them ten minutes of driving before they reached the main house. This only reminded Su Xiaofei that despite her current status as head of Bluemedia and Yun family's only granddaughter, it was incomparable to her husband's family's reputation.
At the front doors, Su Xiaofei spotted a familiar old man dressed in an impeccable dark suit waiting for them. She knew that he was Chairman Lu's personal assistant, and thought that perhaps her grandfather-in-law had sent him to greet them.
Once she and Lu Qingfeng alighted from the car, the old man stepped forward and greeted them respectfully.
"Young Master." He gave Lu Qingfeng a curt nod, then turned to acknowledge Su Xiaofei "Madam. Master Lu has been waiting for your arrival. He said he wants to have a word with the two of you before facing the rest of the family. Please come inside."
Lu Qingfeng said nothing, but only nodded in response. He offered an arm to Su Xiaofei, which she willingly accepted and then followed the old man into the main house.
As it was Su Xiaofei's first time in this place, she decided to remain silent and stick to her husband. She felt her husband's hand covering hers that was resting on his arm and turned to see, then he slightly leaned towards her to say something.
"Just be yourself. It doesn't matter what they think of you, as long as Grandpa approves of you."
"Is that so? You make it sound like I was about to step into the lions' den, dear." She chuckled. Feeling his warm hand wrapped around hers, she strangely felt better knowing that she was the only one he wanted.

The couple climbed up the stairs until they reached the room where Chairman Lu was waiting for them. As soon as they entered the room, his assistant stepped back and closed the door to give them the privacy they needed.Google seaʀᴄh Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net
"Take a seat." The old man was enjoying his cup of tea and gestured to the couple to join him. His eyes caught the couple's hand and smiled, thinking that his grandson had finally gotten what he wanted for a long time.
When Lu Qingfeng told him a few months ago that he wanted to pursue Su Xiaofei, the old man wasn't surprised at all. He had been paying attention to his grandson ever since he took him in and knew how Lu Qingfeng adored the little girl from the Su family.
Of course he was aware of Su Xiaofei being adopted, but this didn't matter for Chairman Lu, because what mattered the most was that she would be faithful and considerate towards Lu Qingfeng.
"Xiaofei, thank you for agreeing to come here tonight. I know this might be uncomfortable for you, but you'll have to meet them, regardless if you want to or not." He said as soon as Su Xiaofei settled in her seat.
She gave him a warm smile in return.
"As his wife, how can I turn down the invitation? I married him, knowing what entails becoming his wife." She answered while Lu Qingfeng sat next to her, rigid as an ice sculpture.
