Su Xiaofei let out a chuckle and picked up her cup of tea, giving Ye Mingyu a smile.
"Meeting a relative doesn't count, Miss Ye. You are free to tell my husband what you think, but are you sure you are ready to face the consequences and his wrath if I prove to him that you are lying?"
Ye Mingyu only giggled in response, which the Zhang sisters found odd. Anyone who would dare to deceive their master would surely regret crossing paths with Lu Qingfeng, so how could Ye Mingyu brush their mistress's claim so easily?
"I see that you were able to put a leash on your dog, Su Xiaofei." Ye Mingyu said as she poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip from it. "And your taste remained the same, bitter and boring."
Su Xiaofei said nothing, but her eyes narrowed sharply at Ye Mingyu's words.
"He used to follow you around like a lost puppy you know. Everyone knows that he's head over heels for you and you're oblivious to it. It was really surprising that you have chosen to ditch Mo Yuchen and be with him. I guess that Lu Qingfeng could give you more than your ex-fiance, am I right?" Ye Mingyu continued.
Su Xiaofei was certain by now that this was the Ye Mingyu she knew in her previous life and she wondered what she was doing in this lifetime. She knew that Mo Yuchen and Ye Mingyu eventually divorced a few years after her death, but she had no idea what happened to Ye Mingyu after she lost her brief fame and wealth.
"You know, I can't blame myself for being stupid these past few years." Ye Mingyu leaned back in her seat and crossed her legs, looking as if she was a queen that everyone needed to regard. "We are sisters and yet we don't get along."
"Leave us." She said, not wanting for them to hear what Ye Mingyu would say next. "I'll call you when Miss Ye and I are done with our afternoon tea."
Ye Mingyu wouldn't be able to harm her physically anyway, but she summoned Zhang Lan to come to her and whispered her command out of Ye Mingyu's earshot. Zhang Lan nodded impassively and left with her sister.
"Did Chen Hao tell you to come here and follow me?"
"Ha! Chen Hao, that pig! When I told him that you would never accept him, he threw me out of his club in rage. How stupid." Ye Mingyu shook her head. "He's been lusting after you for years, you know. I guess he's mad that you got married even before he could make a move on you."
Su Xiaofei stood up and crossed the distance between them and grabbed Ye Mingyu's chin to look closely at her face, her nails digging harshly against the other woman's soft skin.
"You said you wanted to crush me?" She probed. If this was the same Ye Mingyu she knew and she was being honest like this, something must be going on then.
"Uh-huh, I killed you once. It wouldn't be hard to do it again." Ye Mingyu said as if she was pleased with herself. "Too bad though that I couldn't force Mo Yuchen to kill you, but I did enjoy forcing the other Su Xiaofei to get rid of her child. That dumb Mo Yuchen, when I asked him which one would he chose between you and your child to live, he actually chose you instead. Guess he would rather lose his child than lose the two of you."
Su Xiaofei froze at that. She couldn't understand what Ye Mingyu was talking about.
Ye Mingyu laughed after seeing her reaction.
"Silly of him, right? The poison in Su Xiaofei's body was already bone deep when she fell pregnant. Mo Yuchen already knows from the start that it would kill her if she ends up with a child."
