The Female Lead Arrives (2)

Su Xiaofei was aware that it was Housekeeper Chen who let the mother and daughter pair enter their home. The old woman must have been expecting to gain their favors by helping Ye Mingyu claim her spot as the true young miss of the Su family. However, they must be stupid for not knowing that such a title held no importance to Su Xiaofei and it didn't come with wealth and prestige other people thought it had.

So what if Ye Mingyu was the real daughter of Su Haoran? The one who brought money in the family was Yun Qingrong and not Su Haoran. The one who called the shots here was her mother, and obviously Su Xiaofei, since technically, she was legally adopted by her parents and had a say in this household.

Su Xiaofei hid herself next to the wall above the staircase, eavesdropping on the conversation between her mother and their unwanted guests. In the corner of her eye, she spotted Housekeeper Chen in the corner downstairs with an unusual smile on her ugly face.

Su Xiaofei narrowed her eyes at that.

'Such a venomous snake. And to think that my mother accepted her into our household with open arms.' She sneered inwardly.

Housekeeper Chen had no idea that she had offended Yun Qingrong this time and Su Xiaofei couldn't wait to use it against this old woman. It was Yun Qingrong who helped Housekeeper Chen when she and her children had nowhere to go, so how come she was biting the hand of the person who helped her the most?

Su Xiaofei then turned her attention to the young woman who was standing next to Ye Xing, who was now kowtowing in front of Yun Qingrong, asking for forgiveness and understanding.

Ye Mingyu obviously looked younger. She was dressed in a pale pink blouse and white pleated skirt that reached her knees. It seemed to be handed down from others, as the colors had faded due to some washing.

Despite this, her complexion was fair and her brows and eyes were elegant looking. She had the vibes of a filial daughter and looked dignified and educated, such a perfect contrast to Su Xiaofei's haughty and arrogant personality. Between the two, it wasn't surprising that people were inclined to favor Ye Mingyu over her.

Su Xiaofei looked at the young woman in front of her mother. This was exactly the kindhearted and well-mannered Cinderella that people kept praising about in her past life.

Several memories between them came to mind. Memories that Su Xiaofei knew she would never be able to forget, even in this lifetime.

"Feifei, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Yuchen and I didn't deliberately choose to hide this from you. I know you love Mo Yuchen and you wouldn't be able to bear this shock. We only hid this because we didn't want you to be hurt." Ye Mingyu said when Su Xiaofei found out that she was pregnant with Mo Yuchen's child after her husband forced her to abort theirs.

Enraged was an understatement to describe what Su Xiaofei felt back at them. She was livid!

So she can't have Mo Yuchen's child, but Ye Mingyu, the mistress, can?

"Feifei, don't blame Yuchen, please. It was me who wronged you. I didn't mean to fall in love with your husband, but if you need to know… we've been together even before the two of you got married. Yuchen only married you to give you and your mother some face."

Su Xiaofei knew by now that Ye Mingyu only said those words in the past to anger her to death, forcing her to get mad to attack her, which Su Xiaofei did.

Aware that her days were already numbered, she had desperately called and requested to meet Mo Yuchen for the last time, but instead it was Ye Mingyu who came to see her.

"Save your energy, dear sister. Do you really think my husband would come here to see your pathetic state? He won't be coming."

Su Xiaofei could only stare at Ye Mingyu in shock, unaware of the tears streaming down her face. So as soon as Mo Yuchen divorced her, he immediately married this scheming woman?

"Hahaha… Su Xiaofei, you really thought that you were that impressive? You are the greatest fool in town! So what if I took your husband and everything from you, they were practically mine in the first place!"

"You are disgusting, just like your mother! Aside from seducing another woman's man, Yun Qingrong did a good job of teaching you how to stay a fool! I should thank her for that… oh, wait. She's already dead, and soon it will be your turn."

"A fake daughter like you only deserves to have the things that I don't need and don't like. An orphan abandoned by her own birth mother could only have the crumbs I would leave!" Ye Mingyu taunted her.

"Do you really think that Mo Yuchen truly loved you when he married you? If it wasn't for the money your stupid mother possessed, do you think he would bother to waste years of his life as your husband?" Ye Mingyu continued to laugh, enjoying Su Xiaofei's horrified expression.

"Feifei, I will be good to you for the rest of my life… Do you know who taught him this? I taught him to act, I did a good job, right, sister?"

"W-why… Why are you doing this?" Su Xiaofei asked desperately.

"Why? Because I couldn't accept the fact that an outsider has my rightful place!" Ye Mingyu sneered. "You're so stupid. Did you actually believe that Mo Yuchen has come to love you? Your mother got into an accident and died, and you were married for five years with no children. Do you really think they were just coincidences?"

Su Xiaofei couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Sister, I only came here today to send you on your way. Please rest assured that I will take care of your husband and won't waste a cent earned by your mother."
