Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Su Xiaofei froze from where she was standing after hearing what Bai Qingyue just said. It was one thing to hear it from Lu Qingfeng, but it surely felt different hearing the truth from her birth mother's mouth. So it turned out that Bai Qingyue had been suffering all of these years and regretted abandoning her. Bai Qingyue was inflicting punishment on herself even in Su Xiaofei's previous life.

"Feifei…"

Her husband's voice brought her back to reality. She then slowly and silently closed Bai Qingyue's door and gave Lu Qingfeng a weak smile. She had heard what she needed to know, and there was no need for her to subject her own birth mother to further humiliation by confronting her herself.

Su Xiaofei led her husband away from Bai Qingyue's hospital room, aware that Lu Qingfeng was looking at her with confusion. They came to confront Bai Qingyue for the truth, but who would have thought that they would accidentally overhear the actress's conversation with Qiao Fengying in the process?

It showed a new side of Bai Qingyue that Su Xiaofei had never known of. She would never have assumed that her birth mother was having such thoughts and concerns about her, and it made Su Xiaofei feel guilty for even doubting it.

Still, words that had already been spoken were like spilled water that she would never be able to take back. Su Xiaofei knew this and even if she wanted to question Bai Qingyue herself, she knew that the actress would change her tune again.

'If Bai Qingyue has decided to cut our ties for good, then so be it.' Su Xiaofei thought.

Just like her, Bai Qingyue was too prideful to allow herself to lower her guard and admit what was truly in her heart. Not that Su Xiaofei could blame her. It wasn't easy to admit that you made a mistake, especially a huge one like this, and there weren't many people who could do it.

"Are you sure about this, Feifei?" Lu Qingfeng asked her. He didn't want her to regret this decision later. They had wasted a lifetime already. He didn't want her to have any more regrets in this lifetime.

"I am sure." She nodded in affirmation. "Since she's already made up her mind, let's just leave it be. She has done me a great favor that I could never repay."

Lu Qingfeng stared at her and asked no more. He felt that it shouldn't end up this way for her and Bai Qingyue, but he had no right to force his wife to do something she wasn't comfortable with.

"Alright. If that's what you want."

When they returned to the waiting room, they were greeted by the whole Yun family, except for their patriarch and Yun Xiang. Seeing this, Su Xiaofei couldn't help but question her uncles. It was impossible for them not to know where Yun Xiang was.

"I haven't seen nor heard anything from Brother Xiang these days, did something happen to him?" She asked.

The oldest Yun brother grimaced at her question and hesitated to answer her. Even his brothers could only avert their eyes, as they didn't have any idea where their nephew could be, and it was starting to worry the rest of their family.

"He's been away for some time now. We heard that he filed for an indefinite leave, but we have no idea where he'd gone. Let's just hope that nothing bad happens to him, and that he's safe." He said after pondering his words for a moment.

"I see." Su Xiaofei nodded. If the Yun family didn't have any idea where Yun Xiang could be, then she couldn't possibly know where he was at this very moment.

She remembered that Yun Xiang had done the very same thing in her previous life. The man had suddenly disappeared without a word after Ye Mingyu chose to be with Mo Yuchen instead of him.

Su Xiaofei knew that there were things that would remain the same in this lifetime, but she couldn't think of any reason why Yun Xiang would disappear right now. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling about this.

She realized that the last time the man was seen was on her wedding day with Lu Qingfeng. Yun Xiang couldn't possibly leave because of her, right?

"Feifei, darling, what is it?" Lu Qingfeng asked when he noticed her unusual silence after speaking with her uncles. "Are you worried about Mother? The nurses said that it might take some time before the surgery ends."

"Just thinking about something else…" She started. "Do you think you can help us find Brother Xiang? It's almost three months now, and we haven't heard any news from him."

Su Xiaofei didn't want her husband to be worried about her. Heck, she didn't even know what Yun Xiang was thinking at this very moment. It was easy for her to predict his moves when he was still head over heels for Ye Mingyu, but now that his eyes were set on her, Su Xiaofei wasn't certain how Yun Xiang would act around her.

Lu Qingfeng fell silent and didn't respond to her request immediately, which made her even more uncomfortable thinking about Yun Xiang. Did he know something that she didn't? She wondered.

She didn't know how Yun Xiang ended up after her death, and she was starting to regret not paying to other people aside from Lu Qingfeng during her time as a ghost.

"I'll see what we can do." Lu Qingfeng finally said. "But you shouldn't get your hopes up, Feifei. It would be hard to find someone who doesn't want to be found."

There was a hint of seriousness in his voice, as if he was subtly warning her about something.

Su Xiaofei understood what her husband meant by those words. If Yun Xiang wanted to be found, his family would be able to easily find him. He was clearly hiding from the rest, doing something. But what it was, she had no idea.
