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

Chapter 223 - In The Same Boat (3)

Lan Xiaoju looked at Su Xiaofei, then to Lu Qingfeng who remained silent next to the young woman. She was a little confused on how Su Xiaofei knew what would happen to her son that night and how they managed to sneak him out.

"Miss Su, you knew well that by helping my son, you are offending my mother-in-law." She reminded Su Xiaofei cautiously.

"Well, wouldn't that also mean that we are in the same boat, Madam? Old Madam Mo still sees your son as an obstacle for her favorite grandson, and since you brought Mo Yuan back, she sees him as a threat, now that Mo Yuchen had just joined the company."

Lan Xiaoju remained silent at that. Perhaps it wasn't too late to send her son away, knowing that her mother-in-law was really heartless towards Mo Yuan. She had long accepted that she and the old madam won't get along, but had never thought that the old woman was capable of harming her own grandson.

"Mo Yuan is still alive and well, although he would need a few months to fully recover, as the gunshot wound he sustained during that night was fatal. If Madam Mo agrees with Miss Su's condition, we shall arrange to send him overseas tonight. Discreetly, of course." Lu Qingfeng joined their conversation, wanting to end it as soon as possible.

"You can do it?" Lan Xiaoju was left flabbergasted. She now thought that these two weren't merely teenagers at all.

The corner of Su Xiaofei's lips curled up and she patted Lu Qingfeng's arm.

"Madam Mo should be aware of the Lu family's capability. Sending Mo Yuan out of the country without a trace is nothing to them." She bragged to the older woman. If anything else, the Lu family's connections could topple any family in Qiying City. It's no wonder there was a fierce competition to gain the spot as the head of the family.

Lan Xiaoju couldn't refute Su Xiaofei's words, as she was also aware of how strong and powerful the Lu family was compared to her Mo family. Several years ago, her husband tried to get acquainted with the Lu family to gain their support, but it had been hard.

She didn't doubt that Lu Qingfeng could really sneak her son out of the country, but she needed some assurances.

"Miss Su, can I talk to my son? I just want to make sure that he's alive."

She had been worrying nonstop ever since his disappearance a week ago, and while her husband was also busy asking his connections to find Mo Yuan, no one was able to give them a single clue whether he was alive or not, except for these two youngsters.

Lu Qingfeng raised a hand to Nine, and the man immediately made a phone call. After making sure that Mo Yuan was on the line, he passed the mobile phone to his young master.

"Three minutes. You can talk to him for three minutes only, and you have to make a decision right here, right now, Madam. Else, we would drop him anywhere and we won't be liable for whatever that could happen to him if he was found by your mother-in-law." Lu Qingfeng gave Madam Mo an ultimatum. The faster he could get rid of Mo Yuan from his watch, the better for Su Xiaofei's safety.

Lan Xiaoju didn't waste her time and took the phone from Lu Qingfeng. After confirming that it was indeed Mo Yuan was on the other end of the line, she burst into tears as relief washed through her entirety.

After a week of not knowing his whereabouts and how he was faring, she was now relieved to know that he was alive and well, just as Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng said. As for the fifty million… Fine. Su Xiaofei could have it all, as long as they would be able to keep her son alive. She would be able to earn that money back in the future anyway, but her son's life was far more important than anything else.

As she spoke gently to her son, reminding him not to do anything reckless, she glanced at the two youngsters in front of her. Regardless what Su Xiaofei's motive was, it didn't matter, as she was undeniably indebted to her and Lu Qingfeng for saving Mo Yuan's life. Once the three minutes were up, she returned the phone to Nine and regarded Su Xiaofei.

"I accept your condition, Miss Su, but I have a request."

Su Xiaofei glanced at Lu Qingfeng for help as she couldn't give Lan Xiaoju any assurances.

Lu Qingfeng sighed as he understood what she needed without saying a word.

"Does Madam Mo want to leave the country with Mo Yuan?" He asked Lan Xiaoju.

"En. If it's possible. I want to leave with him. Can I ask you to arrange it?" The older woman gave Lu Qingfeng a pleading look. She now realized that Mo Yuan's inheritance meant nothing to her if she was going to lose him in the process. She also cannot rely on her husband at all.

"I can arrange that, but you would have to listen to every word I say. You would be blindfolded along with Mo Yuan and none of you are allowed to make a scene. Rest assured that the place of your destination will be safe for the two of you." The young man replied after finishing his cup of coffee.

"Fine. I'll listen to what you say, but promise me that you and Miss Su would have nothing to do with us after this. Whatever grudge you have towards the Mo family, promise me that my son won't be dragged into it." Lan Xiaoju requested. How could she not see that Su Xiaofei was only doing this to spite the Mo family? It seemed that this young woman had truly come to hate Mo Yuchen after all.

"You have my word, Madam. After this, we don't owe anything to each other.." Su Xiaofei assured her.
