Chapter 147 - Feng Yumeng (1)
Su Xiaofei wasn't the only one who had been paying attention to Ye Mingyu. In fact, Feng Xue'er's cousin, Feng Yumeng was also at the ball, glaring daggers at Ye Mingyu. Feng Xue'er and Feng Yumeng grew up together and although people occasionally see them argue with each other, their bond was as good as real siblings.
When Ye Mingyu first came to QCA and befriended Feng Xue'er, the cousins rarely saw nor talked to each other. It was okay for Feng Yumeng because she knew how hard it was for Feng Xue'er to connect with anyone, thus, she supported her cousin in befriending the newcomer.
However, who would have thought that Ye Mingyu would betray her cousin in just over a month after they met each other? Feng Xue'er had been preoccupied with making the dress that was inspired by her new muse, not knowing that Ye Mingyu was meeting Cai Lin behind her back.
When the rumors about the two started circulating around the academy, Feng Yumeng confronted her cousin.
"That's absurd, Xiao Meng. Yu'er doesn't even know Cai Lin." Feng Xue'er laughed, but it was obvious to Feng Yumeng that she was putting up a strong front.
"But Xue'er, I have also seen them meeting behind the basketball stadium during lunchbreak. At first, I thought you asked Ye Mingyu for a favor to deliver something to Cai Lin, but the second and third time, I knew then that Ye Mingyu is meeting him at will."
Feng Xue'er's face changed after that, but she refused to comment on it. There was no reason for Feng Yumeng to lie to her. She had known her cousin since they were young and indeed, Ye Mingyu looked suspicious lately. But Feng Xue'er thought that she was just worried about Su Xiaofei again.
When Cai Lin left Ye Mingyu to greet his other acquaintances, Su Xiaofei was talking to one of Xi Qian's friends from another class who was looking for her.
"Oh, don't apologize, Schoolmate Su. I was kinda expecting that Xi Qian wouldn't be here tonight. She really doesn't like attending events like this. Even when I invited her to my birthday party, she had politely declined." The other young woman smiled.
It was at this moment that Ye Mingyu turned around, and her eyes lit up upon seeing Su Xiaofei. She sauntered towards Su Xiaofei and called her name.
"Miss Ye, you keep on seeking me these days. I hope you're not planning to waste my time again and actually have something important to tell me this time." Su Xiaofei gave her a head to toe look.
"Wow, your dress looks good. It must have cost you a fortune." She added with mockery in her tone.
"Also, Schoolmate Ye. It's rude to intrude. Miss Su and I are in the middle of a conversation."
The other young misses eavesdropping on their conversation snickered. Who amongst them hadn't heard that this dress came from Feng Xue'er herself.
Ye Mingyu was taken aback. She hadn't said anything and yet Su Xiaofei had already turned her down.
"She's really something. Isn't it obvious that Su Xiaofei doesn't want to have anything to do with her? Why does she keep on bugging her?"
"Perhaps it wasn't enough for Ye Mingyu to ruin the marriage of Su Xiaofei's parents."
"Shameless, and now she has also targeted Feng Xue'er."
"She seduced Cai Lin and deliberately used Feng Xue'er. That's really disturbing."
"We shouldn't be surprised, considering the kind of mother has."
Their ill-intentioned laughter reached Ye Mingyu's ears, and her face burned with shame. It only made her envy and despise Su Xiaofei more. She could see the ridicule in those young women's eyes, and she couldn't understand why they were standing up for Su Xiaofei when it's clear that she was a horrible and arrogant person.
But what she didn't know was that these young women didn't care one bit about Su Xiaofei, but naturally hated illegitimate children like Ye Mingyu. For these young women, their existence was a threat to their position in their family and their chance of inheritance.
Ye Mingyu decided to ignore them.
"Miss Su, can we talk? I have something to say to you." She then glanced at Su Xiaofei's companion, "in private, if it's possible."
"If you have something to say, you can say it here. As you can see, I'm quite busy right now." Su Xiaofei refused to accept her request.
What? Ye Mingyu can't tolerate being criticized in public now? Su Xiaofei inwardly scoffed. Perhaps it might be because of Ye Mingyu's inexperience, or Su Xiaofei was just too dumb to have easily fallen for Ye Mingyu's tricks in her past life.
"You're too cruel. How could you say such things to your own sister?" Ye Mingyu's eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Su Xiaofei. She clasped her hands and slightly trembled, behaving as if she was being harassed by Su Xiaofei.
For some attendees, it might look like Su Xiaofei was the one who wronged Ye Mingyu, but for the young women around them, it only made them annoyed with Ye Mingyu's acting. Seeing her like this, they all hated her even more and gritted their teeth.
"Such a two-faced witch! In front of young men, she's gentle and delicate, but when it comes to us... Ye Mingyu really knows how to play her cards well." Someone pointed out.
Su Xiaofei didn't dare to give Ye Mingyu a face and allowed their other schoolmates to criticize her. She lowered her head and concealed the loath in her eyes.
'Ye Mingyu, how does it feel being the one hated by everyone? In the past, I was the one who kept trying to create trouble for you, but I was only shooting my own foot back then. This time, the one who'll be making a fool out of herself would be you and not me.. So you better be ready for more in the future."
