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

The two garnered some attention from the passersby, curious about what was happening between the two young women, but they didn't dare to stay for too long and walked away.

Su Xiaofei stepped forward, invading Xiao Rufeng's private space, forcing the latter to stand straight. Xiao Rufeng had never met a person so confident, despite being as young as Su Xiaofei was. Even her temper towards the other recruits that had been talking behind her back was admirable.

"If Miss Xiao really wanted to thank me, why don't you repay me instead?" She said with an amused smile gracing her lips as she looked at Xiao Rufeng. Although she was smiling, one could easily see the arrogance in it.

Xiao Rufeng's face fell and lowered her head. She might be from the prestigious Xiao family, but she didn't even have a single cent to her name. How was she supposed to repay Su Xiaofei?

Since they were blocking the elevator, Su Xiaofei motioned for Xiao Rufeng to follow her, and they went to occupy the vacant seats at the main lobby. From where they were seated, Su Xiaofei was able to clearly see who came and went through the front doors.

"You don't have to pay me now, but why don't we continue what we have started instead? Treat it like a student debt. Once you made your debut, a portion of your salary would be mine. What do you think, Miss Xiao?"

Xiao Rufeng gripped the hem of her skirt, then glanced at Su Xiaofei's face. She couldn't understand why Su Xiaofei was certain she would be able to debut. She claimed that she had seen potential in her, but wasn't she also the same age as her?

"You don't need to overthink, Miss Xiao. As long as you are here in Bluemedia and cooperate with me, I'll make sure that no one would be able to look down on you ever again. Regardless of what your own family or other people think of you, your future is in your own hands. There's a saying; "A good bird chooses the tree upon which to perch, the talented subject chooses the lord that he shall serve." So I hope that Miss Xiao will consider my offer."

Su Xiaofei then checked the time on her watch and sighed. She had already said her piece to Xiao Rufeng, and it's up to her whether she wanted to ruin her life by still sticking with the Xiao family, or be on her own and pursue the path to stardom.

"Sorry, Miss Xiao. I have to go now. My mother is expecting my arrival. I'll see you around." She said before leaving the young woman on her own.

Xiao Rufeng could only look at Su Xiaofei's retreating figure, her thoughts in a mess. It seemed that Su Xiaofei knew things about her that she hadn't told anyone. However, what Su Xiaofei had a point. Since she couldn't rely on her family, she could only rely on herself.

She rubbed her temple and sighed. Su Xiaofei's offer was not a small matter to her. She couldn't make a rash decision.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei arrived at her mother's office and found Tang Liyan, who was dressed up today compared to the first time she had seen her. The actress was conversing with the director, the scriptwriter and the original author of the TV drama they were about to film.

Seeing her daughter arrive with one of her assistants, Yun Qingrong rose to her feet and welcomed Su Xiaofei. Her arrival immediately took everyone's attention, with Tang Liyan suddenly rising to her feet, surprising the others.

"Sorry I'm late, Mama. I have a friend who needs a word with me." Su Xiaofei murmured, before glancing at Tang Liyan's direction.

"Miss Tang, it's a pleasure to see you again." She told Tang Liyan.

"Manager Su, thanks again for your assistance. I'm forever indebted to you."

The people around them, except for Yun Qingrong, were baffled by Tang Liyan's words. A recent scandal about her and her husband had been exposed online. It was said that the couple were planning to divorce and Tang Liyan and her daughter had already moved out from her husband's home.

Yun Qingrong was yet again caught by surprise by her daughter when Tang Liyan verbally requested, upon accepting the role, that she also wanted to sign as a talent with Bluemedia, under Su Xiaofei's management.

It was already hard for a newbie talent manager to handle a popular actor like Qin Muyao, but to add a former queen under her daughter's talents, Yun Qingrong feared that it might overwhelm her Feifei, who was also going to pursue a degree in university. However, Su Xiaofei assured her that she had the Zhang siblings on her side, which made it easier for her to keep up with her schedule.

Yun Qingrong then proceeded to introduce her young daughter to the director and the core people who would be working on "The Poisonous Concubine".

Now that they had found the perfect actor to portray the lead, it was time for them to proceed with their next stage of their plans. The other actors, including Qin Muyao, were now scheduled to participate in training, while the script was being prepared.

The meeting lasted for hours. Su Xiaofei listened intently to the discussion and pitched in her comments based on her previous experience as an actress in her past life. Fortunately, the others didn't treat her as a kid and took her suggestions and words seriously, much to her relief.

"Feifei, are you tired? Do you want me to ask someone to take you home?" Yun Qingrong asked when she saw her daughter reading the initial scripts the screenwriter and author had presented to them during the meeting. It was already past eight and Yun Qingrong wouldn't be going home anytime soon, considering that she had yet to finish the work on her table.

Everyone from the meeting earlier had already left with smiles on their faces. Although this was just the beginning, they were eager to see the result of their hard work.

Su Xiaofei shook her head and cupped her chin, before giving her mother an assuring smile.

"It's okay, Mama. I will wait for you to be done. It's just that Miss Lin's writing is really impeccable. I haven't read such an interesting story for some time now." She replied, returning her attention to the page she was reading.

The protagonist of "The Poisonous Concubine" was the Di daughter1 of the prime minister of the kingdom. Her mother died during childbirth and when she was four, her father remarried. Her stepmother treated her well initially, however, when she got pregnant, the young protagonist had been abandoned, leaving her to fend for herself.

As she and her half-sister grew up, her younger sister repeatedly threatened her to be scolded and disowned by her parents. The protagonist's patience was repeatedly tested by her younger sister until she finally snapped at her.

At such a young age, her younger sister already had the mind of a monster, wanting to take her life. The young protagonist set up a scene where her sister would be lost in a big crowd, forcing her stepmother to insanity.

No one was able to find her missing sister, and the stepmother mistook the young protagonist as her biological daughter. In order for him to not lose his beloved wife as well, the father of the sisters forced the protagonist to pretend as her younger sister.

Since then, the protagonist lived using her younger sister's name until she reached her teenage years. When she had taken the attention of the young general, the missing sister appeared as the fourth prince's consort. One was filled with fury, knowing that her identity and life had been snatched by her older sister, while the other wanted nothing but to experience being loved and having a family that she longed to have.

As Su Xiaofei continued to read the internal monolog of the protagonist, she couldn't help feeling sympathy for her. She was the unwanted one. One of her parents loved her to the core, while the other easily dismissed her.

Perhaps it was because it reminded her of her birth parents, but really, if the stepmother didn't mistreat the young protagonist, her biological daughter wouldn't turn into a monster.

Su Xiaofei was also reminded that 'Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child'.

"Mama, have you ever regretted adopting me rather than finding another way to get pregnant? Wouldn't it be better if you had a real daughter?" Her sudden question made Yun Qingrong blink twice, not sure if she heard her right, but seeing Feifei waiting for her answer, she knew that she need to say something.

"No. I knew from the moment I held you, that you are my daughter, Feifei. You might not come from my womb, but you came from my heart and that's more than enough for me."

All the kids that the legitimate wife gives birth to are considered as Di children (Di sons or Di daughter).. They would be higher social status of that to other kids in the household.
