Capítulo 29: The Star Would Never Shine Without Darkness (1)
Su Xiaofei didn't want to admit it, but she was impressed by how much Han Zijun knew about cold poison and how easily it was for him to detoxify her. Had she met Han Zijun in her past life, she would have had a better chance of recovering from her illness and to continue to live.
She had heard about a certain Master Han, who was a genius doctor in her past life, but she had never anticipated that she would be acquainted with him as soon as she was reborn.
Alas, she was aware that this was just another 'what if' that would never be able to change what she had suffered in her past life. It was too late to regret her previous actions now, and she could only move forward.
As much as she held others responsible for her demise and tragic end, Su Xiaofei was also aware that her foolishness and poor choices in life had led her to it. It had been her weakness that other people took advantage of, so she was partly to blame for what happened to her.
"Are you sure I won't suffer any complications later?" She questioned Han Zijun.
"En, as long as the cold poison hasn't settled in your heart, one would be able to recover from it." The man assured her.
"Qian, I want to go home now." She told Xi Qian. She had no idea how long she had been unconscious, and was certain that her mother was worriedly waiting for her return.
As for her two bodyguards, Su Xiaofei was aware that they were practically useless. By now, she wouldn't be surprised that those two were cowering in fear, racking their brains to think of an excuse to tell Yun Qingrong once their mistress found out what happened today.
So why would she bring them with her today, knowing they were useless? It was simple. Su Xiaofei wanted to pull out the weeds from her turf, and that includes these two who would later work as Mo Yuchen's spy on her.
There was no way Yun Qingrong would allow them to stay by Su Xiaofei's side after what happened under their watch.
"We'll bring you home." Master Ouyang chose to step forward and looked at Su Xiaofei's slightly pale appearance. "Allow this old man to sincerely apologize to your family."
Su Xiaofei inwardly smirked. Master Ouyang was playing his role very well and was acting according to her plan. This made it easier for her to reveal that she was Yun Qingrong's adopted daughter, without relying on the Yun family.
Meanwhile, Yun Xiang stood next to the old man with a conflicted expression on his face, which Su Xiaofei could surmise as his guilt of allowing an innocent civilian to get injured because of a mistake. Since he had allowed her to see such a weakness, Yun Xiang would have no idea what would hit him in the future.
"O-okay…" She replied to Master Ouyang's request. The sooner the old man knew who she was, the better.
As for Yun Xiang, Su Xiaofei would allow him to feel guilty this time. In the future, he would try to settle his debt by helping her, and he would never stop until Su Xiaofei deemed that she had enough.
She and Xi Qian were led out of the pharmacy and spotted a car that was waiting for them. Su Xiaofei had a thin blanket placed on her shoulder as Xi Qian helped her get into the backseat of the car.
Once they were settled, Su Xiaofei noticed that there weren't many people gathered at the public market, as the sky had already darkened. As she glanced on her watch, she realized that it was almost ten in the evening.
"I've already called Aunty Qing. She and the others would be waiting for our return." Xi Qian informed her. She had tried to find the bodyguards that she knew Su Xiaofei had brought with her today, but Xi Qian couldn't find them at all.
If that was the case, then Master Ouyang and Yun Xiang would personally meet her mother. Su Xiaofei wasn't sure if the old man knew Yun Qingrong, but Yun Xiang would surely recognize his aunt once he saw her.
Su Xiaofei shut her eyes, aware that Yun Xiang was looking at her through the dashboard mirror as he sat next to the driver's seat. From where she was seated, she could sense that Yun Xiang was thinking of several ways to gain her forgiveness this time.
She briefly wondered if his vulnerability was the reason why Ye Mingyu was able to lead him on for a long time. Clearly, Ye Mingyu wasn't as innocent and kind as everyone perceived her to be.
'Ye Mingyu, you are quite ruthless.' Su Xiaofei sneered inwardly.
For Ye Mingyu to be able to get everything she wanted, she had forced Su Xiaofei to play the villainess role to make herself stand out. For the star would never shine without darkness.
Not denying him, but also wouldn't fully accept his love. It was only now did Su Xiaofei realize that she had underestimated Ye Mingyu's craftiness, for she was able to turn the tides in her favor no matter how hard Su Xiaofei worked to ruin her reputation in the past.
'That's right, Third Young Master Yun, please feel guilty and pity towards me. In the future, when Ye Mingyu tries to offend me, you would be the one who would cast the first stone towards her.' She thought, liking that not only she had gained Master Ouyang's gratitude this time, but she also met the genius doctor Han Zijun, and had Yun Xiang in the palm of her hands.
With the appearance of the female lead in a few days, Ye Mingyu had no idea that Su Xiaofei had already set the stage for her to play her role along with Mo Yuchen. In this life, the one who would have the last laugh would be her.
