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

Su Xiaofei knew that her best friend was currently residing with the Li family, just like Xi Qian did in her previous life. However, she didn't know much about how her best friend's relationship with Li Xiran progressed and how the two ended up being together.

It had only been a month since Xi Qian worked for the Li family, so how come Su Xiaofei was seeing her best friend right now, wearing a party dress, looking around nervously? Has her relationship with Li Xiran progressed faster than she expected?

Between her and Xi Qian, Su Xiaofei had no doubt that her best friend was more outstanding than her. Su Xiaofei didn't think she had met another person who was as strong and as self-reliant as Xi Qian, though she was aware that her best friend had internal battles and issues she wasn't ready to share with her.

"Qian? What is she doing here?" She frowned and looked around, not impressed to see her best friend alone in such a place.

"I suppose she arrived with Li Xiran tonight." Her husband replied. Lu Qingfeng couldn't think of any reason why Xi Qian would be here except for Li Xiran.

However, before Su Xiaofei could go and see Xi qian, she was stopped in her tracks when Master Ouyang's son greeted him and Lu Qingfeng.

"Miss Su! How are you? It's been far too long."

"President Ouyang, yes it has been too long. I'm quite well thank you." Su Xiaofei replied, plastering a smile on her face, though thinking that it had only been a few weeks since she met the man since Lu Qingfeng's return.

President Ouyang then gave her and Lu Qingfeng a knowing look.

"I heard the good news from my father. Congratulations to the two of you." He then offered a handshake to Lu Qingfeng, which the latter easily obliged.

"Thank you, President Ouyang. Feifei and I are planning to hold a party to announce the marriage. Please expect an invitation from us." Lu Qingfeng replied.

The older man laughed at that and gave Lu Qingfeng a firm pat on his shoulder.

"Good good! I will wait for it then." President Ouyang said. He turned his attention back to Su Xiaofei. "There have been talks about  Bluemedia collaborating with Golden Star to produce a film. I'm a little disappointed that you didn't even give this old man a signal."

"It was Golden Star who sent us an invitation, President Ouyang, but we both agreed to accept investors from other parties."

President Ouyang wanted to discuss the new project involving Tang Liyan and Bai Qingyue, which was due to kick off in a few weeks and was interested to invest in the film.

"Dear, can you please see Qian for me?" She whispered to her husband, realizing that she cannot easily shrug off President Ouyang.

Lu Qingfeng agreed easily when he noticed that someone before him managed to approach Xi Qian. It seemed like he wasn't needed anymore as Li Xiran had already come to her rescue.

Meanwhile, before the married couple arrived, Xi Qian had already arrived with Li Xiran about an hour ago. Xi Qian stayed at a corner, trying her best to make herself irrelevant. She knew she wasn't supposed to be here and she would rather be spending the night in her room reviewing her notes.

'This is going to be a long night.' She thought as her eyes scanned the banquet hall.

Alas, she couldn't possibly decline her employer's sudden request to accompany his eldest son to this event. It wasn't like she was new to events like this, but she disliked being in a crowded place filled with socialites and people who wore clothes that cost more than she could make in a year.

The mere fact that the moment she stepped inside this place with Li Xiran was already causing her to receive judging looks by other women, as if appearing in public with Li Xiran was an unforgivable offense to them.

Xi Qian scoffed at that thought. As if she wanted to be here willingly. If her patient was not worried about Li Xiran messing up his meeting with their prospective investors, she wouldn't even bother coming here with him tonight.

"I hope I didn't make you wait for too long."

Xi Qian released a sigh she didn't know she was holding when Li Xiran came back to her.

"It's alright. It must be really important that they were trying their best to keep you." She gave him a reassuring smile.

"Mr. Li, how have you been? I didn't expect to see you tonight. Taking over the family business I assume?"

Both turned their heads and saw a man walking towards them with a busty woman draped in his arm, the red rubies on her ears sparkling as the light hit them. The man laughed and Xi Qian couldn't help but notice how his belly jiggled as he looked at them.

"Mr. Fang." Li Xiran gave him a curt nod. "Yes, I came back to help my father with our company."

"I see." The man turned his eyes to Xi Qian. "Why don't you introduce me to this beautiful woman?"

Xi Qian felt her face flush at his words. It was rare for her to receive such compliments, especially when she was with Su Xiaofei.

"Ah! She blushes! Now that's something you won't see everyday on such occasions like this. Not many women could be bashful like her."

Li Xiran frowned, but chose to be patient out of courtesy. He extended his arm to support Xi Qian's back as he brought her closer to him.

"This is Xi Qian and she's my date for the evening." He informed the two, gesturing to Xi Qian with his wine glass in his other hand.

Xi Qian looked at him with confusion, while the other two looked at the pair with interest. Li Xiran was known to be a lone wolf and had never been spotted with a woman before.
