Chương 58: Eradicating Pests at Home (2)
The next day, Su Xiaofei watched from the balcony of her room as the Chen family, as well as Su Haoran, dragged their suitcases away to leave the estate. Finally, after years of staying with those pests under the same roof, she would be able to breathe and do anything freely in her own home.
As if sensing her stare, Su Haoran turned his head and met her penetrating cold gaze, which startled him. He could only clench his teeth and swore at this accursed child for ruining his plans. He had thought that he already had his wife in the palm of his hand.
Nineteen years of marriage, but it was all for naught because Yun Qingrong had chosen her adopted daughter, Su Xiaofei, over her own husband.
Su Haoran had never expected that Su Xiaofei would be able to see through his scheme and was able to chase away Ye Xing and their daughter when they came here to make a scene. Yun Qingrong should have agreed with it, knowing that she was still feeling guilty of not being able to bear him a child after almost twenty years of marriage.
This was Yun Qingrong's weakness that he had tried to exploit over the years of marriage. At first, he had been ecstatic to be able to marry a woman with such standing and thought that he would be able to enjoy the perks of being related to the Yun family.
However, he hadn't expected that the old man would decide to cut off his ties with his only daughter. Since then, his relationship with Yun Qingrong had turned cold, and it only worsened when the doctors deemed her unable to bear a child.
Five years later, Ye Xing, his long time girlfriend before meeting and marrying Yun Qingrong contacted him and confessed that she had a child with him. Su Haoran, who couldn't get what he wanted from his wife, was obviously over the moon upon hearing it.
Behind his wife's back, Su Haoran had taken care of his mistress and daughter and allowed them to live in one of the properties Yun Qingrong hadn't visited for years and provided for their needs. He had kept this a secret from his wife, aware that this could be used as a reason to divorce him.
For years, Su Haoran used his business trip excuses to spend time with Ye Xing and their daughter, leaving Yun Qingrong in the dark for over fourteen years. However, when Ye Xing was indeed diagnosed with an early stage of breast cancer, Su Haoran knew that he wouldn't be able to save his lover's life on his own and needed to seek help from others.
Help… no. Why would he need someone else's help when he could just exploit his wife's weakness and force Yun Qingrong to ditch that adopted daughter of hers and allow Ye Mingyu to live with them?
His Yu'er was the real Su, she should be the one enjoying the perks of being the daughter of their family and not some unwanted child his wife picked up in an orphanage. He had expected Yun Qingrong to agree, but he never expected that Su Xiaofei would get in between them, ruining the plan he orchestrated.
'Su Xiaofei! You don't deserve to use my family name at all! You are no daughter of mine!' He cursed the young woman in his heart, not knowing that the enmity between them was mutual.
Su Xiaofei wasn't planning to spare him for her revenge at all and this was only the beginning, since there's more to come his way. Forcing her mother to divorce him was just a precautionary measure to make sure that the three wouldn't be able to fuck up their lives all at once.
"Aiya, such a fierce glare coming from Papa. Just what did Fei'er do to him to earn such a scathing look?" She chuckled, waving the old man and the Chen family goodbye for now.
Housekeeper Chen's face darkened, while her children had opposite reactions. Chen Hao gave her a smile, mistaking her wave as an affection towards him, while Chen Li sneered with annoyance for a moment, before smirking as she looked back at Su Xiaofei with mockery.
"For someone whose parents were divorcing, you're sure weird to be this relaxed." Lu Qingfeng commented as he moved his queen to block Su Xiaofei's horse on the chessboard.
Su Xiaofei smiled and moved one of her pawns forward while Xi Qian, who was seated next to her, scoffed.
"Good riddance. Feifei and Aunty Qing surely don't need to keep those snakes here." She said, picking another potato chip from its package and ate next to her best friend.
Lu Qingfeng looked at Xi Qian's expression, noticing that she too, like Su Xiaofei, was too calm under such serious circumstances. His attention then turned to Su Xiaofei who was sitting across from him. It still surprised him how Su Xiaofei could be so cruel to Chen Li, but he couldn't find fault in her for that.
It wasn't like Su Haoran and the Chen family were innocent in the first place. If Su Xiaofei allowed them to stay in this household, who knows what kind of damage they would inflict in the future.
"Class is resuming in three days, Feifei. Have you finished your homework?" Xi Qian asked her best friend, seeing that Su Xiaofei wasn't cramming, doing her homework but instead was leisurely playing chess like this.
"Hmm… Xiao Feng made sure that I finished them on time so I wouldn't be cramming at the last minute." Su Xiaofei then rubbed her temple. Compared to these two, she wasn't as smart as them when it comes to academic studies. This was why in her past life, even though she managed to become a B-rated actress, she was ridiculed when people knew she wasn't able to finish her studies, despite her coming from a well off family.
