Su Xiaofei woke up early, intending to start her day sooner than usual, now that it was the eve of New Year's Day. She needed to make sure that the chance to meet Master Ouyang would fall into her hands and not to Ye Mingyu again.
"Early bird catches the worm, but damn it's so tempting to go back under the warm blankets." She muttered to herself as she washed her face in her room's en suite. As she lifted her head, she saw her own reflection in the mirror, showing her younger version but with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
If anyone looked at her right now, they would wonder just what kind of hardship she had suffered for her to turn out this way. They would never believe her if she said that this was already her second life that she was living, not that Su Xiaofei cared anymore about the comments being made behind her back now.
'It can't be helped. If I remain as foolish as I was in the past, then we would all end with the same fate as before.' Su Xiaofei sighed to herself.
She can't afford to fail today. No matter what, she needed to grab that opportunity in order to snatch the thunder from Ye Mingyu this time. She only had one chance, and she shouldn't waste it.
'Master Ouyang might find it suspicious that I was helping someone like him, but considering that he had never met me nor my mother personally, he wouldn't suspect that I am saving him to gain a favor.'
Considering her age, the old man also wouldn't find fault in her. Su Xiaofei was planning to use the Yun family to reveal her identity to Master Ouyang.
'Young Master Yun Xiang. You shouldn't disappoint me. Let's settle the bill once and for all.'
Because Yun Xiang was head over heels for Ye Mingyu, he had exerted a lot of effort to protect her from Su Xiaofei's schemes in the past. Su Xiaofei held a lot of grudges towards him and wasn't planning to let him off easily. Since he decided to turn against her, Su Xiaofei would turn a blind eye on his relationship with her mother.
Since she had woken up early, she decided to head downstairs where her mother and Aunty Liu were both pleasantly surprised to see Su Xiaofei joining them for breakfast. Usually, she would sleep in until seven in the morning and would have breakfast alone when both of her parents had already left for work.
"Feifei? Why are you up so early?" Yun Qingrong asked once Su Xiaofei had taken a seat across from her.
"Hmm… I have plans with Xi Qian today, Mama. I woke up early, and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to come and join you for breakfast today. Mama, I'm not disturbing you, am I?" Su Xiaofei glanced at the pile of documents her mother was reading.
"Oh, no. Of course not, dear. I'm just reviewing these contracts." Yun Qingrong denied.
Aunty Liu left the mother and child pair to prepare Su Xiaofei's breakfast, giving the two some privacy.
"Mama, about Aunty Chen and Chen Li…" Su Xiaofei tried to probe the progress of her scheme. Her target was for the Chen family to get kicked out of their household.
"Your father said we must wait for his return before we can make a decision." Her mother said with a slight frown. "If it is up to me, Feifei, I would have immediately asked them to leave this house." She said with a tone of irritation.
Su Xiaofei inwardly sneered. Su Haoran again? She would make sure to teach that useless man a lesson once he returned from his business trip. It would be just in time after she was done with his mistress and Ye Mingyu.
In this lifetime, Su Haoran wouldn't be able to stop her, for she wasn't planning to let anyone off after all the horrible things they had done to her.
"It's okay, Mama. I wouldn't like it if you and Papa argued because of me…"
Well, sooner or later, Yun Qingrong would have no affection left for her husband, so this was the perfect time for Su Xiaofei to ingrain her influence on her mother. Yun Qingrong would surely feel betrayed and humiliated once Ye Xing appeared with Ye Mingyu and she would have no one by her side except for Su Xiaofei.
This was one of the regrets Su Xiaofei had in the past. If only she had paid more attention to her mother and had not strayed away, chasing Mo Yuchen, their lives wouldn't have reached a tragic end.
Yun Qingrong's eyes softened at her daughter's words. If she allowed the Chen family to stay with them, she feared that their treatment towards Su Xiaofei would worsen in the future. If they were to look down on her daughter like this, then the chances of them doing worse than stealing was high. She certainly cannot allow them to stay in her home after what they had done.
"Leave this to me, Feifei. I will make sure that they will no longer be your problem in the future. Whatever your Papa would say, there's no way they can stay here with us after what they have done to you."
"Mama, you are saying it as if Chen Li isn't the only one who made a mistake. Is there something else that happened?" Su Xiaofei asked. She already knew the answer to this question. Of course, by putting Chen Li in the spotlight, everything that Madam Chen did would also be brought to light.
As expected from Yun Qingrong, once she suspected someone, she would dig up every other fault of that person. Bluemedia Entertainment wouldn't reach where it was now, if she wasn't tactful with the issues that were thrown on her hands. Su Xiaofei had no doubt that Su Haoran wouldn't be able to persuade her mother to let his relatives off this time.
