Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 68 - The Waiting Game (2)Chapter 68 - The Waiting Game (2)
"W-what?" Feng Xue'er stared at her with wide eyes.
"She and her mother have been living in my mother's property at Yangsu City for over a decade now. Even now, after my mother has kicked out my father from our home, he is staying in that very same house with Ye Mingyu and her mother. It's understandable that she might not know that the house she'd been living in since childhood is my mother's, but the fact that she knew that our father is still married to my mom but is still exploiting her resources, what should I call her and her mother?" Su Xiaofei questioned her.
Feng Xue'er had no words to refute Su Xiaofei's claims, as she had no idea of Ye Mingyu's living arrangements nor did her friend explain these things to her.
"Since you are forcing me to disclose the truth, I already made it clear to her and her mother that all the properties belonging to our family are under my mother's name, Yun Qingrong. Who is she to cry for fairness when she and her mother didn't have a single right to my mother's wealth? Did she and her mother forget that it wasn't my mother who made her, but our father? If she wanted to cry for fairness and financial support, then clearly she's barking up the wrong tree."
Obviously, Ye Mingyu didn't disclose this information to her new friend. Feng Xue'er was rendered speechless, while the others gasped after finding out that Ye Mingyu's mother was a mistress.

There was a great deal of information in Su Xiaofei's words!
As children from rich families, how could they not understand what she was implying? An appearance of a love child, out of the blue, would mean another competition in inheritance. Amongst them, who would want to welcome another child of unknown origin?
At one side, Ye Mingyu was claiming that Su Xiaofei and her mother were being unfair towards her for being her father's daughter, that she was conceived even before her father married Su Xiaofei's mother. She claimed that when Su Xiaofei found out about her existence, the latter had thrown a fit and told their servants to drag her and her mother out of their estate.
But then Su Xiaofei said that it was Ye Mingyu and her mother who had taken advantage of her family's resources for years! Ye Mingyu might have been conceived before the marriage, but the fact that she and her mother lived with their father secretly on one of Su Xiaofei's properties was such a great disrespect for the legal wife!
Such shamelessness! If they were in Su Xiaofei's shoes, they might have done the same thing she did or worse, ruined those shameless pair of mother and daughter foxes in public!
These pompous young masters and young misses, who have yet to understand and experience the real world, wore a disgusted look on their faces.
"Ye Mingyu looks like an angel, but I would have never thought she has such a complicated background."
"What complicated background? She knew that her mother was a mistress all along, but she's the one who claims unfairness by Su Xiaofei and her mother. I would say, like mother, like daughter. I wouldn't be surprised if she hooks up with a taken man in the future, just like her mother."
Su Xiaofei looked at Feng Xue'er's agitated and confused expression. If she was still her past self, she would definitely be victimized by Feng Xue'er and Ye Mingyu's malicious words and accusations.
'Ye Mingyu, your impatience will cause your second loss today.'
Ye Mingyu had used Feng Xue'er to attack her this time, not knowing that this would be the cause of a strain in their so-called 'tight' friendship. Not only did she jeopardize her friendship with Feng Xue'er, but she also gave Su Xiaofei an opening to turn the tides against her by revealing Ye Xing's identity as the third party in her parents' marriage.

"Oh? But I wasn't the one who started this, was I? You were the one who came here, demanding for an explanation from me even though I owe you nothing. I answered your question, what else do you want to hear from me? Indeed, Ye Mingyu's mother has cancer, but what does it have to do with me and my mother? Why do we need to be persecuted for denying a request of a mistress who made a fool out of my mother for years?"
When she saw that Feng Xue'er couldn't answer her and had an awful look on her face, Su Xiaofei continued.
"Aren't you too full of yourself, Classmate Feng? Whatever problems and issues my family is facing right now, it has nothing to do with you. Sure, you can criticize me all you want, but let's see if you'll willingly accept a fox in your own home with open arms if a love child of your father from a mistress appeared out of nowhere."
Most of them weren't commoners and were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Su Xiaofei was even sure that none of them had done any of the menial jobs that Xi Qian had done just to provide for herself.
What could the appearance of another child mean to their status as young masters and misses? They all know the answer to this question, and Su Xiaofei had no doubt that it could be a bloody fight for some. A child, whether it was an illegitimate child or not, would still be a threat to their position in the family.
Su Xiaofei looked toward Feng Xue'er again, whose face was now pale as she finally understood the problem with Ye Mingyu's story.
"Classmate Feng, it's not your fault that you don't know.. I understand that as Ye Mingyu's friend, you were only concerned about her, but you have to be careful in the future."
