Zhang Lan stared at her mistress, but seeing that Su Xiaofei had already decided, she knew that it was pointless to convince her to allow her to stay with them. She cast Yun Xiang a warning glare before turning around, stepping outside and giving the two the privacy they needed.
Her mistress was aware of what she was thinking, but Su Xiaofei didn't want to make Zhang Lan more upset than she already was by listening to what Yun Xiang would say about Lu Qingfeng.
Su Xiaofei took a seat on the nearby chair and crossed her legs. Her expression was a mixture of annoyance and boredom. The only reason she willingly came here was to hear how Yun Xiang would talk about her husband.
'There's something you need to know about your husband.' His second message said.
Su Xiaofei would have ignored him, but her curiosity got the best of her. She was also aware that Yun Xiang would insist on reaching her, had she not shown up today.
What was there to know about Lu Qingfeng? Even if her husband didn't come clean to her on his own, she was aware of the evil deeds he had done in their previous life. No matter if she and Lu Qingfeng were reborn, she would love and accept her husband unconditionally.
It wasn't like she didn't care about what Lu Qingfeng did, because there was no way she would be able to change the past and could only prevent her husband from committing the same mistake in the future.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Yun Xiang said as he took the other seat across from her.
"Why wouldn't I? You said that I must know something about my husband." Su Xiaofei replied nonchalantly, but her eyes were showing displeasure towards him.
"You need to see this." Her cousin said, placing a manila envelope in front of her.
Su Xiaofei stared at it for a moment, then glanced at Yun Xiang's apprehensive expression. She then picked it up and pulled out the contents. As expected, it was a detailed report of what her husband was up to over the past five years.
She was even surprised that Yun Xiang was able to find out about the existence of the brotherhood Lu Qingfeng had with his friends.
'The rest of his brothers must have known about this already.' Su Xiaofei thought.
Her husband's circle of friends wasn't something anyone could easily offend. If none of them had made a move after knowing that Yun Xiang was snooping in their business, it might be because they knew that Yun Xiang wouldn't be able to find enough dirt to use against Lu Qingfeng, or they weren't bothered to deal with an insignificant threat.
Her eyes then narrowed at the sudden disappearances of his uncle and his second cousins. Although Lu Qingfeng hadn't told her what he'd done, Su Xiaofei already had an idea of what might have happened.
"Is that all?" She asked, throwing the papers on the table between them. She briefly wondered if Yun Xiang had done the same to Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen in her previous life, and how Ye Mingyu dealt with him.
"What do you mean, 'is that all?'?" Yun Xiang scowled. "Haven't you read that your husband is involved in some suspicious activities? Perhaps you didn't even know what kind of person you're married to."
Su Xiaofei laughed at that, but she was itching to give Yun Xiang a smack for daring to speak badly of Lu Qingfeng in front of her.
"I expected more from you, Brother Xiang. What do these documents prove anyway? What is so suspicious about Lu Qingfeng making friends while he was attending university and helping them secure profitable deals and business prospects?" She asked in return, eyeing Yun Xiang suspiciously.
"And why are you doing this, anyway?" She added in an accusatory tone, catching Yun Xiang off guard.
It took him a moment to recover from his shock and straightened his back, trying to look determined in front of her.
"I'm merely concerned about you…"
"Bullshit." Su Xiaofei cut him off. "We both know why. Do I need to say it out loud?" She challenged him.
Yun Xiang was being a fool if he thought that she would divorce her husband and chose him instead.
Yun Xiang stared at her for a long moment, then slumped back into his seat, running his fingers through his thick dark hair. He looked confused and irritated at the same time.
From the way he looked, Su Xiaofei knew that he had had it rough these past few weeks. The stubble on his face was more prominent, and the dark shadows beneath his eyes told her that he had not had a good night's sleep for some time now.
"Stop this already, Brother Xiang. Don't make me hate you." She reminded him.
At those words, Yun Xiang snapped his head to look at her in disbelief.
"You would rather choose and stay with Lu Qingfeng, despite how devious he is?" He asked in disbelief.
"That's my husband you are talking about," Su Xiaofei shot him a fierce glare. "He isn't the only one you are disrespecting here, but also me."
How could she not be mad when someone talks badly about her husband? She wasn't as innocent as Yun Xiang thought her to be, nor as oblivious as Lu Qingfeng assumed. She knew her husband wasn't perfect and had so many flaws, like her.
Su Xiaofei knew that no one would be able to understand her and love her better than Lu Qingfeng. She might be foolish to overlook his flaws, but she would have him anyway. If there was no Lu Qingfeng in her life, she would rather spend the rest of her life in solitude.
"Do you really trust him that much?" Yun Xiang probed, wanting to see if she was dead serious.
"I do." She nodded in affirmation. "Whether I made the right decision or not, it would be on Lu Qingfeng and not any another person."
