Chapter 103 - You Look Like You’ve Seen A Ghost (3)
Su Xiaofei looked at her reflection in the mirror and gave herself a good look. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, seeing her uncanny resemblance to Bai Qingyue.
Who would have thought that having a pretty face like this would get her in a lot of trouble? But to think she would be able to meet her father because of this very face… should she consider it being lucky or were they really destined to meet in this lifetime?
It must have been hard for Qiao Fengying to look at her face without thinking about his missing daughter and the pain Bai Qingyue left years ago. She didn't want to become a reminder of what he'd lost and suffered. Su Xiaofei thought that she shouldn't have come here and met him.
When she returned to the table, Lu Qingfeng gave her a questioning look, but she only smiled at him. Su Xiaofei didn't think he would be able to understand her this time, considering that she was the only one who was aware of the real relationship between her and Qiao Fengying.
Their dinner ended with very few words spoken. The Qiao couple thanked the three of them again as they sent them off to the main lobby of the hotel they were staying.
"We'll be here for another week. I hope we can meet again some time, Miss Su, Miss Xi. Thank you for everything you've done for Xiao Han today." Liu Shulan said.
"It's no trouble, Madam. We also enjoyed spending time with Xiao Han today." Xi Qian answered for Su Xiaofei, who was unusually silent tonight. She wondered if her best friend was feeling unwell from the long day that they had today.
The three entered the car that was waiting for them and buckled their seatbelts. Nine waited for them to settle in and waited for his young master's instructions.
"Are you staying at Feifei's tonight, Xi Qian?" Lu Qingfeng asked once Nine ignited the engine, ready to leave.
"No, please send me home. I'll need to wake up early tomorrow to do some cleaning." Xi Qian replied, noticing the slight difference in Lu Qingfeng today. He was rather agreeable now, without a hint of annoyance in his tone. She couldn't help but be suspicious of him.
She wondered what was up with him, but decided not to probe anymore, as she was more bothered by Su Xiaofei's silence tonight.
"Feifei, is your head hurting again? Do you want to take a nap?" She asked her best friend.
Su Xiaofei shook her head and smiled, but it was obvious that she wasn't in a good mood tonight.
"I'm just a little tired, Qian. That's all." Su Xiaofei replied. She didn't mean to lie, but it was truly hard to explain to Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng what was going on. It wasn't like she could tell them that she was reborned, and that she knew what would transpire in the future. It would only make them worry about her, or worse, they might think that she was losing her mind.
Nine didn't need to be told and started driving towards Xi Qian's house. That part of the city was still underdeveloped and had yet to be purchased by a huge company. Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng weren't bothered by it, as they used to visit Xi Qian when they were younger and when her grandmother was still alive.
However, in the middle of their trip to Xi Qian's home, Su Xiaofei asked Nine to stop the car out of the blue.
"Stop the car. Now!" She exclaimed, her eyes were looking outside as if she had seen someone.
Nine immediately pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped. It seemed like Miss Su had also seen the same person he spotted before they reached this part of the road.
"Feifei, what's wrong?" Xi Qian asked. She then followed Su Xiaofei's gaze only to find a familiar young woman entering the nightclub with a man in his twenties.
"Hey, isn't that Chen Li?" She gasped as she recognized the young woman dressed in a short black dress and high heels. She hadn't seen nor heard anything about Chen Li ever since the Chen family was kicked out of Su Xiaofei's home.
To think that they would see Chen Li in this kind of place… what the hell was she thinking? Xi Qian thought.
Su Xiaofei had known that Chen Li had started bar hopping at a young age, but wasn't Chen Li only sixteen now? Wasn't that too young for her to do such activities with older people? Chen Li wasn't even at the right age to drink alcohol yet.
By the way she dressed and looked tonight, Su Xiaofei didn't need to doubt that Chen Li had faked her identification card and age for her to enter bars and clubs like this. The young woman was also using the same counterfeit black dress that she had switched with the original one before Chen Li left their household with her family.
The purse, the high heels, as well as the makeup products Chen Li used, Su Xiaofei was sure that they were hers. Now that Chen Li wasn't living at the Yun Mansion anymore, it looked like she had gotten bolder and was harder to control these days.
Su Xiaofei sighed and rubbed her temple.
"Sorry for startling you, Nine. We can go now."
Nine didn't reply, but only glanced at the dashboard mirror to look at Su Xiaofei. He wondered if he was seeing things, but he could swear Su Xiaofei's lips curled into an evil smile for a moment.
Their drive towards Xi Qian's place continued. There was no need for them to stop Chen Li from making a mistake that could ruin her life.. Actually, it would be favorable for Su Xiaofei if Chen Li continued partying like this, for she would be the one to lure that person out.
