Chapter 134 - The Crows Everywhere Were Pitch Black (2)
Listening to what Housekeeper Chen said almost caused Yun Qingrong to burst into rage. If it wasn't for Fang Yi who held her arm, shaking his head in an attempt to stop her, she would have charged towards Housekeeper Chen and berated her for even daring to utter such shameless things at her daughter.
Yun Qingrong couldn't believe that she allowed this kind of people, who had intentions of harming her Feifei, to live with them for so long. She truly did make the right decision to kick them out of her house if this was their true nature.
Who knew what else they could have done if they remained in the Yun Mansion, instigating problems that could hurt Feifei? No wonder her daughter wasn't comfortable in their presence, as she could feel their ulterior motive towards her!
"Auntie Qing, please calm down and don't let them get under your skin. I trust that Feifei would know how to deal with it." Lu Qingfeng persuaded Yun Qingrong to sit down and to take in calming breaths.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei's eyes sharpened upon hearing the old woman's words. Family? What kind of nonsense was Housekeeper Chen talking about? When Chen Li was stealing her things and using her name and identity, did she consider that she was harming Su Xiaofei?
When Housekeeper Chen allowed the foxes to enter their home and pounced on her mother a few weeks ago, weren't they planning to ruin the very same family that they came to value now?
In her previous life, when her mother was already on her deathbed, attached to the apparatuses that kept her alive…
When she swallowed her own pride and knelt on the cold floor, begging this old woman to allow her to see and talk to her mother for the last time, they denied her and insulted her.
"Family? What kind of family would steal from them and backstab them when they weren't paying attention? My mother treated you well, but instead, you allowed my father's mistress to cause trouble in our family by letting her in. Say, Aunty Chen, should I be grateful that Chen Li tried to implicate me with her counterfeit dress? Should I be the magnanimous one and allow the other person to slap my other cheek willingly after they hit me?"
"Xiao Fei, it's my fault? for not teaching my daughter properly. It is true that Xiao Li is at fault, but I couldn't just let them take her. I can still discipline her! Please don't let them take her away!" The old woman begged Su Xiaofei with teary eyes.
However, Su Xiaofei's cold eyes could see past her facade. This old woman was cursing her repeatedly in her heart, as if she couldn't wait for a chance to get her hands on her and rip her apart.
"I have heard everything you said, Aunty, but I didn't hear anything from your innocent, good daughter. I guess she wasn't truly sorry for what she'd done. Chen Li must be thinking that she doesn't need my help at all since she thinks she can rely on Ye Mingyu."
Upon hearing Ye Mingyu's name, the mother and daughter froze in their places, looking like a couple of deers caught in headlights.
Su Xiaofei chuckled and rested her chin on her palm.
"But what could Little Mingyu do to help Chen Li out of jail when her plate is also filled with problems." She commented.
Housekeeper Chen could only grit her teeth and gestured for her daughter to come to her.
"Xiao Li! Come here and beg your Fei Jie to help you!"
Chen Li forced herself to move and knelt beside her mother. She had never thought she would have to face such humiliation because of Su Xiaofei. However, she also knew that she was too young to get jailed. If Su Xiaofei and Yun Qingrong refused to extend a hand to help her, then even Su Haoran or Ye Xing wouldn't be able to help her this time.
"Sister Feifei, it's… it's my fault. Please forgive me." She said between her teeth, when all she wanted to do was to claw her nails through this arrogant, fake heiress. "I didn't mean to use your name or pretend I was you."
'Strange.' Chen Li thought. 'Su Xiaofei used to be foolish and Aunty Qing was easy to deal with. Fine. She's acting so high and mighty, then a little pitiful act should be enough."
What Chen Li didn't know was that Su Xiaofei was aware of what she was thinking at that very moment. Only sixteen, and yet Chen Li already had such a vicious heart.
"Oh? Is that so?" Su Xiaofei looked at her with a bored expression. "Was it truly just a misunderstanding? Here I thought Ye Mingyu promised you that you could have my things once I am kicked out as the family's daughter."
The mother and child pair trembled after those words, especially Chen Li. How did Su Xiaofei know about it? Indeed, it was Ye Mingyu who promised her that she can have everything Su Xiaofei had once she was named as the rightful young miss of the Su family.
This was why, even before Ye Mingyu's arrival, Chen Li had the audacity to take Su Xiaofei's things, because she knew she would have Ye Mingyu's support in the future.
"This…" As if finally realizing where she had gone wrong, Chen Li reached out, trying to touch Su Xiaofei's hand.
"Sister Feifei, you have to help me! It was really Ye Mingyu who told me to steal your things. Waahhh…" She cried out. Chen Li didn't expect that this would happen to her.
Su Xiaofei cringed and slapped Chen Li's hand away, disgusted by the fact that now that she was cornered, Chen Li was willing to drag everyone down, including Ye Mingyu, with her.
"My mother always told me that every action we make has consequences.. Chen Li, you have to face yours."
