Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 597 Accompanying A Vicious Tiger (1)

Xiao Rufeng couldn't believe that Yan Xiuchen's assumption turned out to be right. He didn't even know Bai Qingyue personally, but he was able to tell that the Queen wasn't bothered one bit by what Golden Star would think about her departure from their agency. As to Bai Qingyue's true motive, that was something Xiao Rufeng had to find out for herself.

"Then may I know why Miss Bai wants to take me under her wing?" She asked, wanting to see if the Queen would be honest enough to give her an answer.

"As I said, I merely agreed to this condition to spite Ye Mingyu for daring to threaten me." The actress replied with a wicked smile.

Su Xiaofei sighed and gave Bai Qingyue a pointed look, as if she was silently chastising the actress, but Bai Qingyue ignored her and acted as if she didn't say anything wrong.

"How did CEO Mo react to your decision to leave Golden Star?" Yun Qingrong asked the actress.

"He was upset, but I think he already anticipated this would happen when I didn't bring up my contract renewal at all." Bai Qingyue replied nonchalantly.

Su Xiaofei arched her brow. "And he let you go just like that?"

"Of course not. Mo Yuchen isn't kind enough to let me go without any compensation on his part." Bai Qingyue scoffed and crossed her legs, looking as if she was royalty, waiting impatiently for her subjects to leave.

As Xiao Rufeng looked at the older actress in front of her, she realized that the Bai Qingyue the public knew was far different from who she really was in real life. She didn't expect that Bai Qingyue would have a carefree personality in person. Perhaps Bai Qingyue had created that aloof public personality to protect herself. She wondered if she should do the same to protect her private affairs.

"Doing this wouldn't mean Ye Mingyu would stop with her threats." Su Xiaofei pointed out.

"Who cares?" The actress waved her hand. "Ye Mingyu could try to start the rumor about you being my daughter, but who would believe such a nonsense if she doesn't have any proof to prove her claims?"

Xiao Rufeng was thankful she wasn't drinking anything at that moment. Of all the things Bai Qingyue would say, she didn't expect that the actress would say such a thing. She looked at her manager, wanting to see if Bai Qingyue was telling the truth, but as soon as she saw Su Xiaofei's expression, she knew right then that they were mother and daughter. It finally dawned on her why Bai Qingyue had a striking resemblance to her manager.

"I'd rather not underestimate what that woman could do." Her manager responded to the actress with an annoyed look on her face.

Su Xiaofei would occasionally make this face when things weren't going the way she planned. Considering that Ye Mingyu had still managed to poison her in this lifetime due to her own carelessness, Su Xiaofei wouldn't be surprised if that woman would use other despicable ways to get what she wanted.

Su Xiaofei wasn't even denying what Bai Qingyue just said. Did this mean that she was recognizing the actress as her biological mother?

Xiao Rufeng glanced at Yun Qingrong and only saw Su Xiaofei's mother smile. Yun Qingrong didn't seem to be bothered with what Bai Qingyue just said. If things were like this, then there's no need for her to poke her nose in her manager's business.

"So what did he ask for as compensation?" Su Xiaofei asked. She shifted in her seat, trying to find a comfortable position. Xiao Rufeng knew that it had only been a month and a half since she last saw her manager, but seeing her round belly made her think that Su Xiaofei was already in the third trimester of her pregnancy.

"Hmm... it's nothing to worry about." Bai Qingyue replied. "I do know some of his dirty secrets, so he wouldn't try to do anything against me."

The smile that appeared on her face sent cold shivers down Xiao Rufeng's spine. She had a feeling that whatever it was, it was quite serious if CEO Mo would gladly give Bai Qingyue her freedom.

Su Xiaofei scoffed while Yun Qingrong looked amused over Bai Qingyue's words. Xiao Rufeng had a feeling that this was a usual occurrence among the three of them. It made her feel assured that everything was alright, and that she had nothing to worry about.

"I heard that Ye Mingyu had just secured a lead role for a film that will be released this coming winter. She really isn't wasting any time, now that she has a golden thigh to hug." Su Xiaofei commented while Yun Qingrong frowned.

"His daughter is quite persistent in causing you trouble, Feifei." She said with a sigh, as if the thought of Ye Mingyu near her daughter upset her.

"You worry too much, Mama. If anything, the more confident Ye Mingyu is, the more she's inclined to make mistakes along the way." Her daughter said confidently.

"Are you sure about that? Why?" Bai Qingyue asked, voicing out Xiao Rufeng's question as well.

However, Su Xiaofei didn't utter a single word and only smiled. These were the times when Xiao Rufeng would think that her manager knew something none of them did. For instance, Su Xiaofei was able to resolve internal conflicts within Bluemedia even before they went out of hand. It made her wonder if her manager had sent out spies to gather information for her.

'She's part of the Lu family now and considering how efficient Lingling and Zhang Lan are, I shouldn't be surprised.' Xiao Rufeng thought. After all, considering how Yan Xiuchen viewed Lu Qingfeng, then she shouldn't doubt that there were things their families would be able to find out that others couldn't.

"Because If there's something I know about Ye Mingyu, it's her recklessness in her choices. She might be enjoying the attention of her lover now, but she has no idea how dangerous that person is. Han Yize isn't someone she would be able to control at all."

Xiao Rufeng blinked. She had met that person before, during one of the events she attended. Han Yize tried to befriend her, but she politely declined his invitation to have dinner with him.

Bai Qingyue hummed and slightly nodded her head.

"Han Yize have taken young aspiring artists as lovers before, but if you pay attention to what happens after their parting, you'll notice that no one knew what happened to his ex-lovers."

"Actually one of our artists got involved with him several years ago." Yun Qingrong said, catching everyone's attention.

"Do you mean Miss Lin, Mama?" Su Xiaofei asked. She briefly remembered that her mother had been stressing about a young talent of Bluemedia years ago, while Su Xiaofei was still Fang Yu's apprentice.

Yun Qingrong nodded and had this confused expression on her face.

"Lin Zihan was supposed to get a big break, but she suddenly disappeared without a word. Neither her family or her friends knew where she went or if she was having problems. She just disappeared without a trace, but her belongings remained where she had left them. We reported her sudden disappearance to the authorities, however, none of them were able to locate her whereabouts. To this day, I still have no idea where she could have been and why she suddenly left."

"There were rumors that she was in a relationship with Han Yize before." Bai Qingyue continued. "Her career had suddenly taken a great leap during those times and she was practically invincible. None of her competitors was able to catch up with her. Then, just as Miss Yun said, Lin Zihan disappeared and nothing was heard from her ever again."

Xiao Rufeng trembled unconsciously. She now understood why Yan Xiuchen insisted on tightening her security these past weeks. She wasn't even aware that she somewhat piqued the attention of that man in the past.

"So do you think Ye Mingyu will end up with the same fate if she's not careful in taming the vicious tiger?" Xiao Rufeng asked.

"This is just an assumption, but Ye Mingyu would surely test her limits when it comes to Han Yize. There are things that one shouldn't cross when it comes to that man." Su Xiaofei said with a cold glint in her eyes, as if she knew this person herself. "If she's not careful, she'll end up with Lin Zihan."

She then glanced at Xiao Rufeng.

"He tried to lure you too, didn't he?"

Xiao Rufeng's eyes widened in shock. How did Su Xiaofei find out? She'd never mentioned it to anyone.

"Your assistant told me that Han Yize tried to invite you several times for dinner. I'm glad that you turned him down." Her manager said, as if she knew what Xiao Rufeng was thinking.

Xiao Rufeng lowered her gaze and blushed.

"I'm not comfortable being stared at by him." She admitted. "That's why I didn't entertain his invitation."
