Chapter 211 - We Can’t Have It All (1)
It was also around the same time the recruits Su Xiaofei met earlier were allowed to go home after they finished their dance class. They all saw her rushing from the elevator, then to the front doors with a wide smile on her face, with her two bodyguards following closely behind her.
"She's still here? What's up with her?" One of them asked curiously, while Xiao Rufeng only stared at Su Xiaofei's retreating form.
Then they saw a young dashing man, coming out from the car, greeting Su Xiaofei.
One of the young male recruits whistled upon seeing Lu Qingfeng.
"Ah, one should know a pretty girl like her is already taken. Even her boyfriend looks outstanding." He commented while the others nodded in agreement.
With the beauty Su Xiaofei possessed, it would be surprising if she wasn't seeing anyone. As they looked at the young, handsome man standing next to her looked like he was also from a well-off family.
"I thought people can't have it all, but it seems like she has everything. Am I deep asleep when God decided to bless everyone with beauty and talent?" The young woman next to Xiao Rufeng frowned.
Without knowing what the others were thinking about her, Su Xiaofei met Lu Qingfeng.
"You don't look like you were tired." Lu Qingfeng said upon meeting her. He had come straight to Bluemedia from the Qiying City branch of Lu Corporation because she complained that she was tired and hungry from all the walking she did with Uncle Fang.
"Of course, I took a break and rested before meeting you. Where are we going to eat?" She asked with such excitement on her face as she hooked her arm with Lu Qingfeng's.
"Do you have anything in mind?" He asked in return. "I know a place, but I'm not sure if you would like the menu."
"I trust your judgment, Xiao Feng." Su Xiaofei replied before they decided to take a stroll around the business district of Guangshang, the Zhang siblings keeping a short distance from them.
Lu Qingfeng was more familiar with the place and knew where they were going. After fifteen minutes of walking, they reached their destination.
Su Xiaofei's eyes gleamed when she saw the menu. Lu Qingfeng was worrying for nothing!
While they waited for their order, Su Xiaofei looked around and found her bodyguards also ordering their meals.
"Don't worry about them. I don't starve my subordinates. You should know this." She heard Lu Qingfeng say.
Su Xiaofei hummed. This was one of the things she liked about Lu Qingfeng. He was very generous to his subordinates.
The first time she had seen something like that was when they were younger. Whenever Lu Qingfeng treated her for a meal, he wouldn't forget to remind his subordinates to have their share as everything would be under his tab.
"Feifei, whatever happens tonight, you should listen to me, okay?" Lu Qingfeng raised the topic Su Xiaofei had been waiting to hear.
"En, but do you have a plan?"
Tonight must be the night Mo Yuan was supposed to lose his life over a car accident, but if Old Madam Mo was really behind it, it would be troublesome to save the young man from her scheme.
"Yes, but there's no assurance that Mo Yuan would be able to survive unscathed. I just received a report from Nine that the Old Madam has sent her people to trail her second grandson." Lu Qingfeng replied.
Su Xiaofei stared at her drink, wondering how could that old hag be this vicious towards her own flesh and blood. Even if Old Madam Mo didn't like Lan Xiaoju, Mo Yuan was still her kin.
Anyway, who was she to criticize the old woman, when her own mother had abandoned her for her own selfish needs?
"So we're just going to follow him?" She questioned the young man across from her. Looking at Lu Qingfeng, Su Xiaofei's suspicion regarding him knowing something was starting to stir in her heart again. She didn't know why she was feeling this, but something about Lu Qingfeng was really different from what she could remember.
Lu Qingfeng's demeanor and attitude weren't like this when they were at this age. They weren't this close as far as she could remember. Was it because Lu Qingfeng had confessed to her this early that things between them had changed?
"We don't have many options, Xiaofei." Lu Qingfeng reminded her. "What would you think that old woman would do if she knew that we intercepted her plans? You've already offended the Mo family by breaking your engagement with Mo Yuchen. If the madam knew that we were involved tonight, she wouldn't be able to instigate something towards me, but she could certainly stir trouble for your mother."
Su Xiaofei pursed her lips hearing that. Why was it that whenever she did something, it was always her mother that needed to bear the consequences? That was unfair in her opinion, but anyway, Lu Qingfeng had a point, so she couldn't do anything reckless right now.
"I know." She conceded. Su Xiaofei felt that she couldn't win against this young man at all. Lu Qingfeng always have some to say in return to her excuses.
"It's good that you know. I don't think you realized how afraid and worried we were when we heard from Xi Qian that you've been stabbed." Lu Qingfeng's face darkened upon remembering what happened.
It hadn't been too long since he was reborned into his fifteen-year-old body and yet, the moment he heard the news that Su Xiaofei had been stabbed, he felt like his heart had been stabbed by a hundred needles at the same time.
Su Xiaofei could only pout and hold back her words as the waitress came back with their food.. How can she not feel guilty when Lu Qingfeng put it that way? She knew now that she couldn't be reckless and put her life in danger again just to reach her goals.
