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

This was why the concept of having a great family didn't seem realistic for Xi Qian. She believed that no matter how good the reputation a family had in public, they were merely hiding the nasty rift between their family members. No matter what kind of social status a family had, Xi Qian was certain that internal struggles would always be present.

As the four of them continued their breakfast, Nine arrived and whispered something to Lu Qingfeng. The younger man rose a slender brow, but nodded to whatever his personal bodyguard was telling him. Once Nine delivered the news to his master, he was already gone even before Su Xiaofei could invite him to join them for breakfast.

"What is it?" Su Xiaofei asked her husband when she saw him wiping his lips clean and rising from his seat.

"Li Xiran and Li Xingtian are about to leave. I'm sending them off." Lu Qingfeng replied, failing to notice how Xi Qian froze next to him. "Yan Xiuchen had already left last night despite the unfavorable weather."

However, Su Xiaofei didn't miss the sudden reaction from her best friend and gave Xi Qian a curious look. Did something happen between Xi Qian and Li Xiran that she wasn't aware of?

"Let me join you. It would be improper if the lady of the house isn't treating them well." Su Xiaofei said, and excused herself from her mother to join Lu Qingfeng.

When they arrived at the small runway on the island resort, the couple found the Li brothers discussing something in low voices, they immediately stopped and turned around when they saw her and Lu Qingfeng coming towards them.

It was a little windy today that Su Xiaofei regretted wearing a sundress. Her skirt was whipping around her legs and her hair swishing in all directions at once. She placed both her hands on her sides to keep her dress from flying up, saving herself from being disgraced in front of the Li brothers.

Lu Qingfeng was in front of her, walking towards Li Xiran who raised a hand in a friendly greeting. Su Xiaofei wasn't sure what was said between the two, but she didn't dare to disturb their conversation.

Once their talk was over, Li Xiran turned to her and gave her a curt nod before he and his younger brother got on their private plane. Lu Qingfeng returned to her side and together, they watched the plane leave the island once they reached the ideal altitude.

"Feifei, do you know, from my odd memories, Li Xiran didn't get to receive his happy ending." Lu Qingfeng murmured next to her when everything fell silent and the wind had calmed down.

Su Xiaofei blinked and cocked her head to look at him.

"What happened to him?" She asked curiously. After Xi Qian's funeral, she had never seen Li Xiran again, even as a ghost.

Lu Qingfeng fell silent, his hand slipped to hold hers. The two slowly made their way back to the main building, where they left Yun Qingrong and Xi Qian.

"In my memories, Li Xiran and Xi Qian were lovers, but Xi Qian was involved in a tragic accident that took her life. Li Xiran was able to save his family's business, but he wasn't able to save Xi Qian and be with her."

Su Xiaofei shivered, her heart started to beat frantically in her chest. Being reminded of Xi Qian's death was enough to make her worry about her best friend. How could she forget that Xi Qian had died in the midst of her blooming romance with Li Xiran?

"Don't worry. Nothing's gonna happen to her." Lu Qingfeng said as if he could sense her worries.

Lu Qingfeng had made sure that none of Xi Qian's parents would be able to harass her again in this lifetime. He made sure to make them occupied with lawsuits that would cost them a lifetime of suffering.

In their previous life, Xi Qian's sudden death was one of the reasons why Su Xiaofei's health continued to deteriorate at a faster rate. She was supposed to live for another year, but the tragic deaths of her loved ones and Lu Qingfeng's coma had been detrimental to her health.

"How could you be so sure?" Su Xiaofei frowned. She was dreaded with fear that she wouldn't be able to save Xi Qian's life this time.

"Because the one who was responsible for her death was her own stepmother. I suppose with the current situation her father's family is in, they wouldn't have the time to seek Xi Qian to force her to provide for them this time. They had thought that they would be able to manipulate Xi Qian and ask the Li family for assistance, but she refused to give them a single cent."

Su Xiaofei inwardly sneered. So it turned out that she had been right. Wang Peilan was really the one who targeted Xi Qian from the very start. She should have made that old woman's life miserable when she had the chance to confront her before.

"Also, I asked Nine to keep an eye on them just in case. We wouldn't want any of them to get close with Xi Qian, now that she is acquainted with Li Xiran." Lu Qingfeng added. The only thing Xi Qian needed to do now was to make peace with her past and continue to move forward.

"Then I hope that it will also work for the two of them this time." Su Xiaofei hooked her arm with his and leaned her head against his arm. "It would be a pity if they didn't end up together, now that they've got a chance like us."

"Hmm… do you think that's the reason I'm having these odd memories?" It was Lu Qingfeng's turn to question her. Actually, he'd been wondering why he was given not only a second chance in life, but also a third.

"No, but it certainly teaches you to become a better person." Su Xiaofei grinned at him.
