Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 651 Fate Of The Wicked (1)

"This Ye Mingyu thinks too highly of herself. She's crying innocence now even though there's strong evidence that she was the one who murdered her ex-lover."

"Does she not know shame? Previously, she tried to use Su Xiaofei's name to create hype as a newbie actress. She even went as far as sabotaging Xiao Rufeng's costume during the time they worked in a TV series together."

"Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"What do you know? When a woman turns heartless, they could become cruel and disgusting and have no sense of shame anymore."

The last hearing on Cai Lin's death was scheduled today and everyone was waiting to see how this would end for Ye Mingyu, who was accused of being the one behind his sudden passing. People were curious about the jury's verdict.

Ye Mingyu had lost the sense of time after being held in prison for almost a year now. The amount of money she got from the alimony after her divorce with Han Yize had mostly been used to pay the lawyers who were failing to prove her innocence.

Far from the beautiful and always charming Ye Mingyu, the woman who was brought in by the police looked untidy and distraught. People found it hard to believe that Ye Mingyu actually took advantage of Cai Lin's obsession towards her and used him to sustain the lavish lifestyle she had overseas.

Reporters had camped outside the hall of justice, wanting to get a scoop on this scandalous case. When Su Xiaofei arrived with her husband, they snapped their cameras frantically towards the power couple. Both were dressed smartly in their three piece business suits, with Su Xiaofei rocking her black trousers and black high heels as she walked next to her husband.

Who didn't know about the Big Boss of Bluemedia being married to the business tycoon of the Lu Conglomerates? There had been rumors that Su Xiaofei broke her engagement with Mo Yuchen years ago to marry her childhood friend once Lu Qingfeng reached marrying age.

Su Xiaofei found the rumors laughable, while Lu Qingfeng thought that it had been him all these time pursuing her, not the other way around.

"President Su, did you come here to show support for your little sister? Are you and Ye Mingyu on speaking terms again?"

Su Xiaofei merely smiled and declined to give a statement as usual, not giving them any satisfactory answer they could use to write up.

She only came today to see for herself the kind of punishment Ye Mingyu would receive. How could she miss her chance to witness Ye Mingyu's miserable state and at her lowest point?

'I came to see the fate of the wicked.' She told Lu Qingfeng earlier when he asked why would she bother to come here to see Ye Mingyu when it's certain that she'll receive capital punishment.

Ye Mingyu spotted her in the audience area. Her eyes turned cold, fists clenching so tight her nails painfully digging into her palm. She hated the look of content and happiness on Su Xiaofei's face and wanted to tear her face with her own hands.

Why? Ye Mingyu couldn't understand. Why was Su Xiaofei so lucky? She had thought that Yun Qingrong was Su Xiaofei's achilles heel, so she targeted her mother as soon as she was able to put her own father under her control.

Su Xiaofei only smiled, as if to express the words she couldn't say in Ye Mingyu's face. The verdict was about to be announced soon. She spotted Feng Xue'er at the other side of the seats and gave her a curt nod, while the woman smiled genuinely at Su Xiaofei for the first time.

It seemed to Su Xiaofei that Feng Xue'er was certain that she would get the justice Cai Lin deserved today, but she could only hope that Feng Xue'er would truly move on and live a life she deserved without clinging on to the past.

Ye Mingyu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at anyone's eyes, knowing that she would only see mockery and ridicule on their faces. No matter how she lived her life, those pairs of eyes didn't want to leave her alone.

Only when the verdict was announced did Ye Mingyu lift her head and start to cry helplessly. As expected, she received the harshest punishment as a penalty. A life for a life.

Su Xiaofei's expression hardened as she looked at the woman who made her previous life miserable. For the first time in her life, she saw Ye Mingyu truly miserable, but it was odd that she didn't feel any joy from it, and neither was she sad. She couldn't explain what she was feeling at that moment. She should be celebrating and feeling vindicated now that Ye Mingyu had lost everything - she couldn't even keep own life.

She left with Lu Qingfeng as soon as the verdict was announced, not giving anyone a chance to ambush her for yet another series of questions. Lu Qingfeng seemed to notice her uneasiness and hurriedly led her away from the crowd of reporters waiting outside.

Once they were seated safely inside their car, he took her hand in his and gave it a light squeeze.

"Are you upset? I thought you would be happy knowing that Ye Mingyu wouldn't be able to harm you or anyone after this."

"I think so too." Su Xiaofei sighed and looked at her husband with a confused expression. "I don't know what to feel right now. I thought I would be happy seeing her breaking down, but I'm not. If there's anything, I'm relieved to know that there's no way she would be able to recover from this."

"Then do you care what would happen to her after all of these?" Lu Qingfeng asked.

Su Xiaofei shook her head in response. She used to spend her time thinking and plotting against Ye Mingyu before, but now, she didn't.

"Then, darling. You finally managed to break away from her shadows."
