When she returned home, Su Xiaofei was surprised to find that Lu Qingfeng had been waiting for her. He looked distraught and worried. As soon as his eyes landed on her, he released a sigh of relief and drew her into a tight embrace as soon as she entered their bedroom.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked, but allowed her husband to hold her tightly if it meant that he would be assured that she was fine.
"I received a report from Zhang Ling this afternoon. You shouldn't have gone to that place, Feifei. Even if you trust Yun Xiang, there's no telling who you would stumble into at such a place." Lu Qingfeng said with a hint of displeasure and worry in his voice.
"I have Zhang Lan accompanying me. I came back in one piece, see?" She said in defense, but she knew that it was reasonable for her husband to act like this.
Lu Qingfeng released her and allowed her to put down her handbag and watched her remove her jewelry one after another.
"Zhang Ling said Ye Mingyu is acting suspicious. What's going on, Feifei?"
She looked at him through the reflection of her vanity mirror, sensing his distress over her meeting with Yun Xiang and Ye Mingyu. She remained silent for a while, but then decided to tell her husband how her conversation with Ye Mingyu went.
"She sounds crazy, A-Feng. I fear that she might do something." She said, joining him on their bed and held one of his hands. "Zhang Lan said that Ye Mingyu was involved in a minor car accident the other day and hit her head after having a huge fight with Chen Hao. Is it possible that she has the same case as you?"
Lu Qingfeng's jaw hardened as he looked at their twined hands. Ye Mingyu being reborn wasn't good news at all.
"From your other memories, do you remember what happened to her?"
When she realized what she just asked, Su Xiaofei lowered her gaze, looking guilty. Asking Lu Qingfeng what happened was also like reminding him of the bad memories he would rather not think of.
"She and Mo Yuchen divorced before their third wedding anniversary for some reason," Lu Qingfeng answered. "After some time, she completely disappeared from the limelight, but in truth, Mo Yuchen set her up and sent her to the mental hospital where she eventually died due to unknown causes."
Lu Qingfeng knew the reason why Mo Yuchen had done it was to seek revenge on Ye Mingyu. Since he had no use for her and Ye Mingyu had known so much about him, Mo Yuchen needed to get rid of her. What better way to convince everyone that Ye Mingyu was lying, aside from painting her as an insane one in public? No matter what Ye Mingyu said, no one would take her words seriously because of it.
Mo Yuchen killed his second wife the same way Ye Mingyu killed Su Xiaofei. He poisoned her slowly, letting Ye Mingyu experience the same torture and pain Su Xiaofei had undergone. But Lu Qingfeng wouldn't say these words to his wife. If Ye Mingyu somehow lost her mind in the process and was reborn like them, the best way to deal with her was to send her back to the mental hospital and drug her until she couldn't think of anything.
'But Feifei is no murderer.' Lu Qingfeng thought. His wife was nothing like him, or Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen. She would never take another person's life no matter how much they've wronged her.
"Didn't she give birth?" She asked, earning a confused look from her husband. "I thought she would end up pregnant, given that they were together for three years."
Heck, didn't Ye Mingyu come to see her before she died, telling her that she was pregnant with Mo Yuchen's child? Did Ye Mingyu lie and say those words only to spite her?
"Ye Mingyu never had a child." Lu Qingfeng said. "There had been rumors that the Mo family had been pushing her to have one, but she defied her in-laws' demands."
"Why don't you call Master Ouyang and tell him what's happening to Ye Mingyu? If she's really a threat to Xiao Rufeng's safety, I wouldn't be able to interfere if Chen-ge decided to make a move to protect her." He suggested.
Su Xiaofei rubbed her temple with her free hand and sighed. Ye Mingyu coming back in her life like this would only complicate things because she had no idea what the other woman was thinking. She couldn't understand Ye Mingyu's parting words earlier.
"I'm not sure how I should convince him. Something must happen first before they deem Ye Mingyu mentally unstable. What do you think?"
Only then would they have a reason to remove Ye Mingyu from the series she was currently working on along with Xiao Rufeng.
"We can't do that. If we wait until something serious happens because of Ye Mingyu, it might lead to bigger problems. I think she won't target you for the meantime since she might hold some resentment and anger towards Mo Yuchen, but that doesn't mean we should lower our guard against her."
Su Xiaofei agreed with her husband and decided to change the topic between them. Since Yun Qingrong had given them a go-signal to move out and live on their own, the couple had decided to move to Shenjing once Lu Qingfeng's succession in Lu Corporation was confirmed. They would be living at the Lu Estate for the meantime, until they were both ready to start a family back in Qiying City.
"My relatives would surely nitpick and find faults in you, Feifei. Don't let them bully you."
"Bully me?" Su Xiaofei chuckled, shaking her head amusedly to her husband, "They should make sure their maintenance medications are always in reach. I'm afraid, dear hubby, I would be the one who would do the bullying, not them."
