Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue didn't feel like asking more. So not probing further, she nodded, "Fine, even if I don't believe, I can wait. Let's go to where you are taking me." She said and then with one hand, gestured to them to show her the way.

While Feng Shufen maintained his nonchalance, Gao Fan bowed before stepping aside to show the way. And soon the two walked on the lead of the secretary.

While Li Xue walked by the side of Feng Shufen, she saw at a distance near the edge of the cliff, there were several men standing. All of them dressed in the same attire. The formal suit they were dressed in was not new for Li Xue for she knew that those were the uniforms that meant Feng's clan.

"They are here for?" She asked subconsciously before turning to look at Feng Shufen on her side.

Feng Shufen gave a small glance in front before turning to look at Li Xue. Then reaching to hold her hands into his, he said, "We are almost there. Let's go." Saying that, he didn't wait and guided the rest of the path further.

When reached, the men stepped aside with respect. But their offering of respect was not something that took Li Xue by surprise; rather it was the people she saw next. Getting wide, her eyes turned to look at Feng Shufen with a question that she never voiced out.

Feng Shufen understood the question in her gaze and immediately said, "We can't hold ourselves back while returning people with a hundredfold. It's her turn to receive back and you should be generous to do that." He said, and, in his words, there was not the generosity that was evident but it was darkness of cruelty.

Li Xue raised her brows at him and then turned to look back at the three people who were kneeling at the front. The Zhangs!

Now she understands it all. Why was Zhang Xiaotong still alive? And why was she receiving all the best treatment at the expense of Fengs?

No doubt the Devil always has unthinkable cruel plans.

Since she was with him, how could she pretend to be any different?

"Open them first. It's not fun to punish them in such a merciful state." Li Xue ordered, surprising everyone with her casual tone.

But since it was her words, everyone was responsible for obeying it. Gao Fan signaled one of the men nearby and the same went to open the ties on the three people.

The moment the knots were opened, Zhang Xiaotong made an attempt to stand up, "B-Brother Feng, y-you ...". Just a look at her was enough to tell that she was too weak to even hold herself up. After all, it's just been a few hours since he left the hospital. Not yet properly recovered, she would need someone's help to move around.

Knowing her daughter's struggle, Zhang Qian Lan helped her up and soothingly spoke in a concerned voice. "My dear, you are still weak. Please don't force yourself." Supporting her daughter, she turned to look at Feng Shufen and Li Xue as if glaring at her archenemies. "What are you planning to do, Feng Shufen? Can't you see, she is still weak and needs rest? Why do you have to bring her here?"

She asked, and her gaze remained as if she was truly expecting the answers. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Seeing her courage like that, Li Xue couldn't help but chuckle. Laughing out at her, she pressed her hand over her lips to control it. "Mrs. Zhang, I knew the ladies in the high societies are illogically audacious. But still I expected to see a change in you, given how your status has changed in the past months. But it seems like I overestimated it. You are nothing different than your daughter."

"Li Xue!"

"What? Am I saying something wrong?" Li Xue's gaze turned disdainful. Her eyes darted to look at Zhang Xiaotong as she continued, "Aren't you audacious to think that my husband's hard-earned money is easy to get wasted on just anyone like your daughter?"

She said, and Zhang Qian Lan's eyes saw red. But other than her, someone else was more offended.

Zhang Xiaotong's fists clenched as she roared in a subtle voice, given her weakness. "Li Xue, dare to say that again."

But Li Xue was all at ease. "What's the need of dare in that? Aren't you being precariously confident, Ms. Zhang? You are claiming my husband's money with such confidence that it can almost make people misunderstand it. Don't you think so?"

Zhang Xiaotong felt her tongue tied. Her eyes turned to look at Feng Shufen for help but she had truly overestimated herself. "Brother Feng, won't you tell her anything? Tell her that you supported me during the weakest time because you were concerned for me. Tell her that you stayed by my side in the previous month because you wanted me to return back to you. Tell her that seeing me leave the world, you got scared and that's when you realized that you love me."

"And that's when decided to come to me, leaving her forever." Zhang Xiaotong spoke whatever she felt like making sense to her. And hearing her say all that really amazed Li Xue.

Her eyes turned to gaze at the man, who stood there as a stone sculpture, devoid of any emotion or expression. It was even hard to tell if he was even hearing what the woman was speaking.

Although Li Xue never had a habit of laughing at someone's love, for some reason no matter how she tried, she was simply not able to control it today. "Zhang Xiaotong, you are really something. I have heard that you had a keen interest in the field of business. But I would suggest you should reconsider your choices. If you really go in the field of business, believe me, your excellent chance in story writing will be wasted. You can be brilliant in this field, if said truly."

She said before moving a step closer to the side of Feng Shufen. Hooking her arms up with him, she said, "Rethink it once again, do you think he saved and paid all your medical bills to stay with you for eternity or even this birth?"
