Chapter 143 - Face The Consequence (1)
When one decides to bet, one must accept the possibility of losing. This was what Su Xiaofei was thinking as she observed the encounter between Yun Xiang and Ye Mingyu. In the past, Yun Xiang had humiliated her the same way he was currently humiliating Ye Mingyu.
In her previous life, Yun Xiang was one of Ye Mingyu's biggest supporters. Because he was head over heels for this woman, he was willing to take a bullet to protect her life. However, Su Xiaofei would never allow that to happen again. She intended to use Yun Xiang against Ye Mingyu in this lifetime.
"That isn't my intention." Ye Mingyu said with teary eyes. "I just want Xiao Li and my meimei to keep misunderstanding each other like this." She reasoned out.
"Miss Ye, there's nothing to misunderstand here." Su Xiaofei gave her a pointed look. "Chen Li willingly did what she wanted at my expense. She should be thankful that we let her off the hook the first time. If she had done the same thing using your name, I hope you can pretend that it didn't concern you."
"Then… won't you help her?"
Su Xiaofei stared at Ye Mingyu as if this young woman had truly lost her mind, or was she really this shameless? She wanted to laugh at Ye Mingyu's audacity, but she managed to control herself.
"And why would I do that?" She countered. "Miss Ye must be thinking that just because my mother has an influential family, we can bend the rules and the law in our favor."
Yun Xiang's face darkened when he heard that. As if the Yun family would ever do something as despicable as that. The Yun family prided themselves as law-abiding citizens of this country and refused to participate in any injustice. Even if Su Xiaofei was the one in Chen Li's place, the Yun family would rather not have anything to do with her.
"That's impossible." He muttered beside Su Xiaofei.
"We aren't that powerful, Miss Ye. Even if Chen Li is my Mama's niece, she wouldn't interfere with the law. Please seek a competent lawyer instead. Who knows, maybe he will be able to reduce Chen Li's sentence." Su Xiaofei lightly said. However, there was an inexplicable coldness in her tone.
Su Xiaofei's words were meant to deliberately pull Ye Mingyu's face down, but the latter wouldn't dare to show it to anyone. If someone would lose her cool, it would be Su Xiaofei, not her. Because every time Su Xiaofei made a fool out of herself, Ye Mingyu would shine brighter.
Since her rebirth, many people considered her as a scholarly and well-mannered child. It was for this reason that she was able to avoid the same poor life that she and her mother had lived in her past life. By becoming a prominent and outstanding figure in her class, many young men pursued her, willing to give her the moon and the stars, as long as she would be pleased with them.
For a long time, she tried to cultivate and preserve her gentle image and talented reputation in public. She wasn't as stupid as these youngsters, who only knew how to chase after their puppy love. Who cared about the feelings of those young men pursuing her? The only thing that mattered to Ye Mingyu was what they could provide for her.
As for Su Xiaofei, she had naturally saved up enough money to hire someone to investigate this lowly woman. How dare Su Xiaofei covet what was truly hers?
Su Xiaofei's grades in school were pathetic and if it wasn't for Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng, she would have failed and been expelled from school. She was also stupid and wasn't articulate when speaking with others.
But the Su Xiaofei standing in front of her now seemed to be far different from the Su Xiaofei she investigated. Ye Mingyu tried to seek answers for this sudden change in Su Xiaofei and she had heard about Su Xiaofei's life-threatening situation with Xi Qian, which might have triggered her change.
Still, for Ye Mingyu, the calmer Su Xiaofei was the more unsettled she became, as she somehow wanted Su Xiaofei to lose her temper and attack her. She was also baffled that Su Xiaofei managed to escape from being implicated by Chen Li's scheme.
Chen Li had insisted that the counterfeit dress she had was the one she took from Su Xiaofei's wardrobe, but no one was willing to believe her claims due to Su Xiaofei's status. There was no reason for Su Xiaofei to possess a counterfeit dress, unless of course, if she had deliberately set Chen Li up, knowing that this would happen.
Ye Mingyu didn't believe that Su Xiaofei was capable of it. A stupid woman like her coudn't plan a scheme as intricate as this.
If Su Xiaofei knew what was going on in Ye Mingyu's head, she might have agreed with her. However, that was all in the past, and she wasn't willing to become Ye Mingyu's backdrop for a second time.
"Su Xiaofei, how could you say that? Chen Li is still our cousin…" Ye Mingyu couldn't help but try to paint Su Xiaofei as an unreasonable and vicious person in front of this young master. In any case, now that Su Xiaofei has become smarter, she mustn't take her lightly at all.
Su Xiaofei stared at Ye Mingyu for a moment, heaved a deep sign and gave Yun Xiang a helpless look. She really didn't want to deal with Ye Mingyu anymore.
Yun Xiang looked at the other young woman opposite him, with eyes full of disbelief. It didn't make sense to him why Su Xiaofei should feel guilty for whatever that had happened to Chen Li.
"Miss Ye, if you have nothing important to say, just leave. Don't bother Xiao Fei with trivial things such as others' wrongdoings.. Since Chen Li had the guts to commit a crime, she should be ready to face the consequences."
