"What are you doing here?" He sneered as he looked at his ex-wife's adopted daughter. Su Haoran couldn't think of a reason for Su Xiaofei to be here.
Su Xiaofei merely raised a slender brow at him and crossed her arms arrogantly.
"I came to see you. Hasn't it been years, Father?" She spat the last word in a ridiculing tone. "Aren't you glad that you received a visit from me, considering Ye Mingyu hasn't bothered to come and see you for awhile now?"
Su Haoran never liked this woman, even when she was younger. He hated the way she looked at him with those dark, sinister eyes, as if she could see past his facade. If it wasn't for this woman, he didn't think he would end up in this place.
"I came here to deliver the news, considering no one bothered to come and inform you about what's happening outside."
Su Haoran laughed at that. Although he was curious, he would never admit it to Su Xiaofei's face.
"What could have possibly happened for you to come all the way here just to see me? Is your mother dead?" He asked with a mocking tone.
Su Xiaofei's eyes immediately darkened and turned cold upon his words and Su Haoran wondered if he was imagining it.
"Fortunately, no." She replied. "My mother will surely live for a very long time, but the same couldn't be said about your dear daughter, Ye Mingyu."
He pounced forward, hitting the glass wall that separated them with clenched fists, eyes glaring daggers at Su Xiaofei.
"Su Xiaofei! What have you done this time?!"
"Eh? It's not me. I did nothing to her, mind you. Ye Mingyu is the one who killed one of her secret lovers. What does it have to do with me? It's not like I was the one who told her to do it to Cai Lin." Su Xiaofei said in defense. A smile then bloomed on her beautiful face. "Aren't you proud of her? She's following in her daddy's footsteps."
"I'm not a murderer." Su Haoran sneered, but he chose to divert his gaze elsewhere and didn't dare to meet Su Xiaofei's eyes.
"But you did attempt on my Mama's life, right? You think I didn't know what you were trying to do when you took Ye Xing and Ye Mingyu to live under one of my mother's estates?"
Su Haoran's eyes widened at that, surprised that Su Xiaofei knew what he was attempting to do before Yun Qingrong divorced him. He had no words to refute what Su Xiaofei had just said.
"Cat bite your tongue now?" Su Xiaofei's eyes glimmered with mischief. "Ye Mingyu is really your child, seeing that she was harboring such ill intent towards other people." She snickered.
"Get out! Leave me alone! Did you come here to rub this in my face?! Didn't you get what you wanted when you forced your mother to divorce me?! You ungrateful child! Your birth parents must have been so disappointed that they decided to abandon you in the orphanage!"
Instead of seeing Su Xiaofei being offended by his words, Su Haoran was shocked when the woman in front of him burst into a round of laughter, as if she had just heard a joke.
"My, my. I would love to hear Dad's opinion once I told him what you've said today. My birth father is quite a big shot, you see. Ever heard of the name Qiao Fengying? He's my real father. As for the woman who gave birth to me, well, you can put the blame on her instead. If she hadn't left me in that orphanage, Mama wouldn't have seen me and adopted me. If you think I'm after my Mama's fortune like you, then you are wrong."
Su Haoran's form slackened on his seat. Qiao Fengying. He had heard of that name before. Wasn't that man considered as one of the self-made billionaires these days? So the girl his ex-wife adopted was destined to become a big miss of a prestigious family.
"You didn't come here just to deliver the news to me, right? You wouldn't have bothered to see me unless there's something you wanted."
Su Xiaofei's eyes darkened. The memory of her pitiful, tragic end in her previous life flashed in her mind. While she was grieving over Yun Qingrong's sudden death, Su Haoran and his lover had been spending her mother's money as if it was theirs and had lived lavishly. Just remembering how heartbroken her mother was before her death was enough to make Su Xiaofei's blood boil with anger.
"I just want to see for myself how pitiful you would be, now that you've lost everything." She said with a straight face. Her eyes seemed like they were harboring a raging storm that Su Haoran couldn't understand.
She had lost everything in the past and she would make sure to return the favor to those who caused her misery. Su Xiaofei might not be able to torture them herself, but she could stil find a way to make their lives miserable. She knew that by seeking revenge, she needed to prepare two coffins. One was for her enemy and the other one was for herself. One wrong move and she would end up on the losing end again.
However, she had more reasons to make sure she wouldn't fail. Not only because she had a family to protect, but because she made a promise to make sure Lu Qingfeng would be happy in this lifetime.
"There's no way your daughter would be able to avoid capital punishment for what she had done. However, considering that she made a lot of enemies, I wonder if the jury's decision would end up terminating her life first."
She rose from her seat and gave Su Haoran a cold, piercing look.
"Goodbye, Father. This would be the last time I'll see you. Don't worry, I'll make sure to send off your daughter once it's time on your behalf."
