Rebirth of the Villainess: Young Master Lu’s Wicked Wife

The wedding between Han Yize and Ye Mingyu went on as scheduled. As Ye Mingyu walked down the aisle alone, a wide smile broke on her face. It didn't matter if she disliked the nefarious wedding dress her new mother-in-law forced her to wear. Han Yize's mother had been criticizing her choices ever since she moved in with them.

At least, the dress his mother chose smartly concealed the swell of her belly and it didn't matter that Su Xiaofei was here, trying to ruin her day.

Ye Mingyu was certain that she had finally won. She would never experience bitterness in this life ever again. Not only did she no longer need to pay heed to her father's shameless demands, those annoying loan sharks would never dare to harass her again!

Of course she made sure to pay off her mother's debts using the money she received from her new in-laws. Those two were easy to manipulate anyway. With a mere act, they were ready to give her the money she needed. She also couldn't allow those loan sharks to tarnish her name, now that she was part of the upper circle.

She lifted her chin and walked proudly as if nothing could faze her anymore. She didn't even need to return to acting, now that she could sleep on a bed of money. It was a pity she couldn't share this success with anyone and that she needed to step out of the limelight to give birth to her child.

Her parents should be here, giving her hand to her groom, but maybe it was for the better that neither of them were here to ruin her day. Ye Mingyu would rather be alone than have them here only to be mocked and insulted because of them.

Despite the fact that her mother had died a couple of years ago, the resentment in her heart did not die down. It was her mother's fault that she had to lead a life full of bitterness regardless of the timeline she was living in. She blamed her mother for allowing her father to abandon her and getting into trouble with the loan sharks. Their lives wouldn't be as pitiful as it was if only her mother had the backbone to chase after her father when he made her pregnant.

As for Su Haoran, that old man could rot behind bars for all she cared. Su Haoran neglected her and made a fake family with another woman, hoping he could get his hands on his wife's possession. Too bad for him, Su Xiaofei in this lifetime was as wicked as Ye Mingyu was. He was easily casted aside and had lost everything without knowing where he went wrong.

Once she reached the end of the aisle, Han Yize took her hand but didn't bother to look at her. He looked impatient, like he was ready to leave at the first sign of opportunity, but Ye Mingyu didn't care. Whether it was Su Xiaofei or Huo Yuxin she was against, those two didn't manage to defeat her at all.

She knew that Han Yize's mind wasn't with them. He was probably thinking about Huo Yuxin, who abandoned him for the second time without batting an eyelid. Huo Yuxin had already lost her chance to be with him. No matter what Han Yize does, his parents would never approve of that woman.

The ceremony continued and she and Han Yize exchanged their vows and they were officially announced as legally wedded husband and wife by the presiding officer, Ye Mingyu couldn't contain her happiness at that moment.

'I didn't know that you could be this magnanimous, Ye Mingyu. Clearly you are marrying someone else's trash. I'm glad that you are sparing the rest of the women by keeping Han Yize to yourself.'

Feng Xue'er's words earlier rang in Ye Mingyu's head. The two of them had a little argument before Su Xiaofei came to annoy her further. Initially, she thought that in time, Feng Xue'er would soften up and reconcile her friendship with her.

'Did she find out what I've done to Cai Lin?' She wondered, but Ye Mingyu immediately pushed the thought away. This wasn't the right time to think of such nonsense.

There was no way that Cai Lin left something that could incriminate her. She had made sure to destroy any evidence that could implicate her upon his sudden death. She was just worrying for nothing. Ye Mingyu convinced herself.

"That's not true. You are only saying that because you didn't want to see me happy, Xue'er. It's been a long time already, why can't you move on? It's not my fault that Cai Lin chose me over you. It's not my fault that I'm getting married now while you are still wallowing in self-pity since Cai Lin died." She told Feng Xue'er, causing the latter to run away with tears in her eyes.

Did Feng Xue'er think that she could bully her? Ha! Even Su Xiaofei couldn't trick her into not getting married today. Ye Mingyu was sure that those two only came here to ruin her mood, but neither of them were successful.

During the wedding reception, she spotted Su Xiaofei and Xiao Rufeng together. She indeed sent Xiao Rufeng an invitation, wanting to see the other woman's reaction. However, Xiao Rufeng merely gave her greeting to Han Yize's parents and didn't even acknowledge Ye Mingyu.

'Those bitches might be colluding to ruin my day.' Ye Mingyu sneered inwardly, but she didn't dare to show her displeasure in front of their VIP guests. She needed to act like a woman expected of her status now. She wasn't just a starlet who was trying to climb up her way to stardom.

No one would be able to ignore or bully her now. The Han family's status and influence was way better than the Mo family and she didn't need to get involved with their difficult family issues. Ye Mingyu was confident that with the existence of her child, her position in the Han family wouldn't be threatened by anyone.

"She's pitiful, isn't she?" Su Xiaofei asked Xiao Rufeng as she held a flute of wine in her right hand, eyes fixated on the bride.

Xiao Rufeng followed her gaze and shook her head. Ye Mingyu's smile was almost blinding today. There was no doubt that she was one happy bride. She didn't understand how her manager could say that Ye Mingyu was pitiful.

"I don't think so. After all the things she had done, why do you think she's pitiful? I'm sure she wouldn't think the same. She's so happy right now that she didn't even notice the annoyance in her groom's eyes."

"She's pitiful because she blinded herself into believing that everything is fine. This is nothing but a fleeting happiness." Su Xiaofei explained. "Sooner or later, Feng Xue'er would come after her. And soon, she would notice that she had committed a grave mistake by offending Han Yize and forcing him into marriage. The doe must be tired out first before the wolf claims his prize and Ye Mingyu hadn't realized that the doe is her."

She then lowered her head pondering how to ruin Han Yize for good. Using Huo Yuxin alone wasn't enough. She needed to make sure that Han Yize wouldn't be able to harm her family and her daughters in the future.

'You are no murderer, Feifei. It's my hand that's already tainted with blood.' Lu Qingfeng once told her when they were discussing how to deal with Ye Mingyu and Chen Hao. He said that, but wasn't she the reason why her mother died and he became a tyrant?

Chen Hao was already dead and that was courtesy of her husband. Su Xiaofei didn't dare to find out the details on how Chen Hao died, but her heart ached knowing that Lu Qingfeng had willingly commited a sin because of her, yet again. She couldn't stop him from going after Chen Hao and it was another burden for Lu Qingfeng to bear for the rest of his life.

"I do hope that this will be the last wedding I'll attend this year." She suddenly blurted out.  "I have so many functions I need to attend for Bluemedia and the Lu family, I'm starting to spend less time with my babies. So you better not be walking down the aisle with Yan Xiuchen anytime soon, okay?"

Xiao Rufeng's face turned red, trying to ignore the teasing look Su Xiaofei was giving her.

"No. Not so soon, but we'll get there eventually." She replied bashfully. Her friends weren't wasting time to tease her after she and Yan Xiuchen invited them to a private dinner.

"You'll be a stunning bride by then. I'm sure that Yan Xiuchen won't be able to take his eyes off you." Su Xiaofei said confidently. Xiao Rufeng didn't manage to meet Yan Xiuchen in her previous life and it made her curious about how he ended up back then.

"Stop teasing, Feifei." Xiao Rufeng pouted. "If anyone looks ready to seal the deal, it would be Xi Qian, not me."
