Chapter 151 - The White Lily (1)
Once the song ended, Lu Qingfeng begrudgingly released Su Xiaofei's hand from his grasp. He had loved Su Xiaofei for so many years, it literally transcended lifetimes. Holding and being with her like this felt like a dream he never dared to wish.
The truth was, the person he was talking to when Su Xiaofei found him wasn't from the company. It was another phone call he had received that night. He had left the investigations on Ye Mingyu to Nine a few weeks ago, and it was only now that the man was able to gather important details about her.
Other people might not be able to understand Ye Mingyu's previous actions, but Lu Qingfeng was able to come to a conclusion and predict possible course of actions that the young woman would take.
Oddly, after suffering from a high fever at the young age of five, Ye Mingyu started to show intelligence beyond her age. She was considered as a young prodigy and was able to manipulate her own mother to seek Su Haoran.
After rekindling their relationship, Ye Mingyu's life went smoothly and she hadn't experienced any bitterness since then. Nine also found out that Ye Mingyu had hired a private detective to check on Su Xiaofei and those related to her. As to how much the young woman was able to discover, it wasn't certain.
For some, people might think that she got lucky, but for a person like Lu Qingfeng, this only proved that Ye Mingyu had been reborned like him and Feifei, albeit, not having the memories of her previous life.
If that was the case, then Su Xiaofei had a huge advantage against Ye Mingyu.
Meanwhile, Ye Mingyu's mind was in turmoil as she tried to think of several ways to overshadow Su Xiaofei tonight. She frowned and almost failed to maintain that perfect smile on her face.
If one was to look at her, aside from the white princess dress that looked half-done, Ye Mingyu was still a sight to behold. Her face alone had already cemented her as a stunning beauty in others' eyes. Her beautiful eyes were clear and deep as if one could lose himself staring at her.
Once the song was over, the other attendees conversed lowly about Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei and how the latter could easily snatch the title 'Fairy of the Night' that night. Ye Mingyu had a hard time keeping her gentle smile on her face the more she listened to them.
What was so good about Su Xiaofei? She was just lucky that her father and Yun Qingrong had adopted her! The things Su Xiaofei was enjoying right now should be hers! How could this lowly orphan think that she was better than her?
She had no doubt that Su Xiaofei had put her in the bad light earlier to steal her chance of being crowned as the 'Fairy of the Night'. Too bad Ye Mingyu had no idea that Su Xiaofei didn't care about that title and had only come here to annoy her for entertainment.
Ye Mingyu was slightly startled when Su Xioafei looked her way. When she caught a glimpse of Su Xiaofei's face, she couldn't help feeling shocked. Su Xiaofei's eyes were coldly indifferent, as if she knew what Ye Mingyu was thinking about at that very moment.
Although there was no visible emotion on Su Xiaofei's face, she gave off an aura of utter chilliness that made Ye Mingyu shudder with fear.
How could it be possible? Ye Mingyu thought. There was no way this was the same arrogant and haughty Young Miss Su that was described in the report!
This Su Xiaofei was far from the rumors. Ye Mingyu wasn't sure if the detective had duped her years ago, or if Su Xiaofei really changed in these three years.
Generally speaking, when thinking about young misses from wealthy families, Ye Mingyu would assume they were all gaudy and vulgar and not as refined and elegant as her. However, as she looked at Su Xiaofei now, she had to admit that her beauty paled in comparison with the rumors about her.
Su Xiaofei was extremely beautiful even as she was wearing her usual uniform, but Ye Mingyu never expected that she could be this beautiful when attending official and important occasions such as this. She looked stunning and reserved, as if no one around her deserved her recognition, even Ye Mingyu.
Su Xiaofei exuded an indescribable sense of calmness and steadiness, as though she had weathered through many struggles in life and tasted a lot of bitterness that now, she couldn't be bothered with Ye Mingyu's simple schemes.
As Su Xiaofei walked steadily towards Ye Mingyu, the latter shivered hard, not knowing what Su Xiaofei would want from her this time. Although Su Xiaofei was only eighteen right now, there was a hint of magnificence and maturity in her conduct. It was hard to believe that she was still the same Su Xiaofei everyone knew.
Her actions also attracted others' attention, wondering if she would bully Ye Mingyu this time.? Lu Qingfeng raised a brow, questioning Su Xiaofei, but she only smiled.
Smiling, Su Xiaofei directed her gaze towards Ye Mingyu. Comparing the Ye Mingyu she knew with this young version, Su Xiaofei thought there were still things that remained the same.
Ye Mingyu was elegant and exquisite in her own way, and she appeared innocent and sincere, as if she was an otherworldly fairy that was unfamiliar with the ways of this wicked world. It was as if Ye Mingyu expected everyone to bow down to her and hand her the things that she wanted.
But how could Su Xiaofei allow that to happen? Since the heavens took pity on her and gave her a chance to rectify her mistakes, she would not waste her time and would trample on Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen whenever she had the chance. Hence, she would seek revenge this time!
