CEO Zhou's face blanched as he stared at Su Xiaofei in shock. He sobered up immediately, realizing the situation he was currently in. Words were already forgotten as his mind went blank, realizing the mistake he just committed not only toward her, but also toward Lu Qingfeng. This was far from what he had in mind when he sought Song Yiran in an effort to get acquainted with him. To think he would offend Lu Qingfeng's wife in the process, he had really shot his own foot this time.
"Madam Lu, I…" But he didn't know how to take back the words he already uttered in his drunken state.
"Hmm? So it's Madam Lu now?" Su Xiaofei chuckled amusedly.
She wasn't surprised at all. This man would only give her respect because of the person she was married to and not because she was worth the respect as a person. It displeased Su Xiaofei to know that many people would be like CEO Zhou and would only see her as Lu Qingfeng's wife, nothing else.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run my mouth like that." CEO Zhou broke into a cold sweat under Su Xiaofei's scrutiny. He hadn't been able to meet Lu Qingfeng yet, but there were rumors that he was a businessman that was hard to please.
Su Xiaofei didn't want any of that. She would rather people think that she was the head of Bluemedia before acknowledging her as Lu Qingfeng's wife. She knew that until she succeeded in flourishing her mother's company, she would forever be trapped in her husband's magnificent shadow.
"Oh no, please don't apologize. You are merely stating your opinion about us, women." She watched as the color started to return on his face, before she wickedly smiled in return. "However, that doesn't mean there wouldn't be any consequences."
That immediately rendered the old man speechless as he looked at Su Xiaofei in disbelief.
"I would have made my presence scarce if I were you. It's not only my husband who is known to have a short temper when it comes to people like you. There's no need for you to apologize as the Lu family will have nothing to do with you."
Su Xiaofei then rose before gesturing to the four women to follow her outside. The members of the girl group didn't waste time and left at once, with Su Xiaofei and Song Yiran following behind them.
"No! Wait, please!"
They heard CEO Zhou's voice behind them, but Su Xiaofei didn't want to waste more time than she already had. At least though, the old man was spared from her fists, because if he had been foolish to dare to touch her or any of her talents, she wouldn't be able to stop the urge to beat him into a pulp.
Zhang Lan stepped forward, stopping the man from chasing her mistress. Her ever resting bitch face was enough to make anyone think twice before arguing with her. The Lu emblem pinned on her collar made CEO Zhou swallow the words he was about to say.
"Mr. Zhou, you do realize that my mistress has made up her mind, don't you? And tonight's event has already been reported to Master Lu. My mistress is already kind enough to leave you unscathed despite your impertinence."
Zhang Lan's voice and expression were so cold that the old man and his assistant couldn't stop their knees from shaking.
"He must be really tired of living." Song Yiran muttered next to Su Xiaofei once they were out of earshot and while Zhang Ling was making a phone call to get the members of Full Moon out of the club.
"You should know better than to associate with people like him." Su Xiaofei frowned as they walked out of the VIP area. They then moved to the second balcony where they could see the dance floor and the balcony below them that caters most guests of the club.
Her eyes swept around the area, trying to find her other talent but she couldn't spot Xiao Rufeng anywhere.
"Looking for someone?" Song Yiran asked when he noticed that the woman next to him was distracted. "Did Lu Qingfeng come with you tonight?"
"No. He's busy at the moment." Su Xiaofei answered, but it was obvious that her patience was running thin. It had only been an hour and half since she left Xiao Rufeng earlier. Where could she possibly be? Xiao Rufeng wouldn't leave the place without informing her.
She then found Ye Mingyu giggling with other women on the dance floor and Su Xiaofei immediately felt worried for her missing talent.
"Zhang Ling, could you please find Xiao Rufeng for me? I can't see her anywhere."
"Sister Xiao is here?" Yueying asked curiously, while the rest of the Full Moon scanned the whole club for Xiao Rufeng, but just as their manager had just said, she wasn't there.
"Or we could ask someone to check the CCTV." Song Yiran suggested. "This place is owned by Yan Xiuchen and I'm a regular here. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind us snooping around."
Su Xiaofei looked at him as if he had grown another head over his shoulder. He used to be annoying at times, but now, she could see why Lu Qingfeng easily gets along with Song Yiran.
"What?" Song Yiran asked, noticing her stare.
She shook her head.
"Thank you. Please lead the way and I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
Zhang Lan appeared at that moment and escorted the members of the Full Moon out of the club. The four hesitated to leave, but Su Xiaofei shook her head.
"Go. You don't need to stay here much longer. You've already done your part. We will make sure that this won't happen again." Su Xiaofei told them.
The four looked at each other and nodded. Them being here wouldn't be of any help to Su Xiaofei anyway.
"Please take care, President Su." Yueying said before turning to Song Yiran. "Thank you for helping us tonight, Mr.Song."
Song Yiran blushed and looked away.
