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

"Sister Shi…" Su Xiaofei was rendered speechless as she studied Shi Mingli's face.

"I've only known you and Lu Qingfeng for a few short months, but I could tell how important you are to him. You are his other half, his soulmate. It's obvious that if he loses you, he would also lose himself for good. Your death would turn him into something that he isn't, and I'm afraid that he would hold this resentment towards your girls if they survived while you didn't."

Shi Mingli had seen how Lu Qingfeng looked at his wife - as if Su Xiaofei was his everything.

"A-Feng would never do that!" Su Xiaofei exclaimed, her eyes shone with tears.

She had seen herself how her death destroyed the man she loved, but she doubted that Lu Qingfeng would hold their daughters responsible for her death.

"You might be right and I may be wrong, but you have to know grief can ruin many good things in life. It can destroy bridges if one isn't able to get through it." Shi Mingli nodded. "But Lu Qingfeng would be miserable without you. He will never get over you, so you better fight for your life."

"W-why are you telling me this, Sister Shi?" She asked. The tyrant and heartless Lu Qingfeng she used to haunt in her previous life was left embedded in her mind.

"Because I need you to know that this isn't just about you, Xiaofei. Dr. Han and I might be able to treat you from the poison, but if it has already left irreparable damage on your body, it's hard to tell what could happen. You might get better, or you might slip into a coma. If you die, none of us would be able to help Lu Qingfeng and you would be leaving him broken beyond repair. There's no coming back for him and your twins might as well end up in your mother's care instead."

No. Su Xiaofei couldn't allow that. Would she have to watch Lu Qingfeng spend the rest of his life in misery again? How could she bear to see her mother raising her daughters when she could barely take care of herself? Yun Qingrong was still recovering from her previous illness and she wasn't in the best of health now.

"Okay, I get what you mean. We have a deal." Su Xiaofei conceded. There might be no other third chance or rebirth waiting for her if she failed. Failure isn't an option this time. She needed to live not only for her husband and daughters, but also for her continuously growing family.

In her previous life, Su Xiaofei had always found herself alone, especially when Lu Qingfeng fell into a coma and Xi Qian unexpectedly died. She had no one to rely on or confide in. Her mother died shortly after her marriage to Mo Yuchen while she didn't have the chance to know her real parents at all.

Now, not only was she reunited with Lu Qingfeng and married him, but she was also able to gain a new family through the Yuns and Qiaos, and got to know her parents better from a different point of view. She was now surrounded with friends and loved ones.

If she was able to keep fighting until her last breath in her previous life, she had more reason now to recover and live. Lu Qingfeng also loved her so much that she owed everything to him. She had to survive.

"Deal." Shi Mingli sighed before pressing the button to call in the nurses to bring Su Xiaofei to the delivery room. "If it makes you feel better, Miss Xi will be accompanying you in the delivery room. As soon as we take out your girls, Dr. Han and I will start to treat you."

—

Once Lu Qingfeng, who had rushed to the hospital, arrived at the floor where the delivery room was, he immediately noticed that the floor was cleared out and only a few nurses were there to accommodate them.

Out of breath, he reached the end of the hallway only to see his mother-in-law, along with Bai Qingyue and Qiao Fengying waiting outside the delivery room. Lu Qingfeng had never seen these three in the same place as they were now.

"How is she?" He asked Yun Qingrong. He regretted not arriving sooner. Lu Qingfeng had wanted to leave his office the moment he heard the news, but several things and the bad traffic jam had delayed him greatly.

"Feifei has already gone under. Xi Qian just rushed in to join them an hour ago. A-Feng, don't you think that this is too early for Feifei to give birth? Is there something wrong with her that Dr. Han decided to deliver the girls early?" Yun Qingrong asked nervously as she clasped her hands on her chest.

Lu Qingfeng looked at his mother-in-law and then turned to his wife's biological parents. By the way Bai Qingyue clenched her jaw hard, he realized that the actress was aware of Feifei's real condition.

"Feifei and I trust Brother Han's judgment. He wouldn't have suggested it if he didn't perceive a threat on Feifei and the twins' lives." He said, dodging to answer Yun Qingrong's question. It was Su Xiaofei who insisted to hide the truth from her mother anyway. If Yun Qingrong found out that she was the opening used to poison her daughter, they had no doubt that she would blame herself for life.

"Still, this is too early." Qiao Fengying agreed with Yun Qingrong's opinion. "I know something was wrong with Feifei during my last visit. She seemed weaker and very lethargic." He then looked at Bai Qingyue who hadn't said a word since her arrival. "What are you doing here anyway?"

Bai Qingyue arched a slender brow and crossed her arms around her midsection.

"What? Can't I show support and worry for my new manager?" She retorted nonchalantly, before turning her gaze back on the closed door.
