Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Zhang Xiaotong looked at the file and didn't dare to move even an inch from her place. Suddenly, the voice of Zhen Qinrou rang in her ears, reminding her of everything.

'You don't know Shufen yet. He would reach the deepest of the truth sooner or later.'

Does that mean he already knows everything? Just the thought of it scared her. Nope, this was not happening. If he knew, wouldn't it mean that she would lose him for always?

"B-Brother FenFen, I don't know what are you talking about. You must have gotten me wrong. I haven't done anything." Shaking her head, Zhang Xiaotong tried to defend her only to get snapped shut the next moment.

"Gotten you wrong? Do you think I am blind?" Feng Shufen didn't look aggressive, nor did his voice come out loud, but still the intimidation effect it held was enough to scare the souls out of hell. He pushed back the chair and stood up to walk in front of the woman to add, "My patience gets thinned whenever it is about my family. And you have been aiming at my wife continuously. Do you think I would take it keeping low?"

He said and Zhang Xiaotong shivered. Although she wanted to deny everything, still she felt unable to do it herself. It was like she was getting subdued under the aura of the man.

"Brother FenFen, I was just …" She was about to defend herself when the corner of her eyes caught the glimpse of someone walking towards the room her brain worked better than it would have worked in any other situation. Since she wasn't able to get her goal through one way, she would try it through another.

Didn't Director Qi say that Li Xue doesn't like seeing other women near Feng Shufen? How about showing her a better show?

Zhang Xiaotong's eyes shone with an evil glint as planning the other moment, she looked at Feng Shufen and lunged forward, leaning to envelop him in her arms. But her calculation has been highly wrong to think that she could get near him, just if she planned it that way.

The moment she could even get to wrap him, he moved aside, making her take the fall on the floor.

With a thud, she fell to the floor and a painful wince left her lips. Li Xue didn't miss the scene when she appeared.  Although the method looked ruthless, she didn't feel bad for the woman. After all, it was her fault to think that she could touch what was not hers.

"President Feng!" Gao Fan who has been following Li Xue, greeted first to let everyone know their arrival. Feng Shufen looked at the woman at the door and his expression darkened more, understanding with what intent Zhang Xiaotong created the scene.

Looking at her on the floor, he growled, "What were you thinking? Gao Fan, take her and …" Before he could say more, Li Xue was quick to reach his side. She leaned onto him and patted softly over his heart to say.

"Mr. Beelzebub, she is in pain and has fallen on the floor. You don't need to give any harsh orders at the moment. Let me handle it for you." She said. But when she saw the man still not easing up, nor looking at her, she huffed a deep breath out and then reached out to hold his face before making it turn to look at her. "Mr. Beelzebub, let me handle it for you. Will you?"

Feng Shufen's expression was still dark. Li Xue could feel his heart beating harder and she knew that it was because of the anger he was feeling inside. If she could guess Zhang Xiaotong's intention; standing here all this while, it wouldn't have been tough for him to guess it too.

"Believe me, I can do it." She said again and Feng Shufen nodded to her.

Li Xue's lips curled up in a smile as nodding, she turned to look at Zhang Xiaotong who was still on the floor. To say that the woman looked a pitiful sight to watch would not serve justice, because up until now, Li Xue has understood that the woman was not the one suffering. She was the one who made the people around her suffer from her obsessive love.

Walking up to her, she crouched on the floor near her to say, "Ms. Zhang you know every woman carries a responsibility to maintain the dignity of womankind whenever she walks anywhere. But you have continuously made it look so small. And what is all that for? Just to get Shufen? Do you think that was justifiable, especially when he treats you like this? Don't you understand what he meant by all this? Do you not feel insulted?"

Zhang Xiaotong looked at her and felt the pain in her wounded ego. "It's all because of you Li Xue. If not for you, I wouldn't have to do all this. Who are you?"

Li Xue heard her and closed her eyes. Smiling with some thought, she opened it to say. "Who am I? Ms. Zhang, did you forget it? I am the same person for whom you have been plotting around. If I have truly been as simple as you think I am, don't you feel that you wouldn't have to do all that you have done?"

She said and her words like that made Zhang Xiaotong grit her teeth. "Li Xue, you … don't pretend to be so high and mighty. We both know all your confidence is coming from the man who has been standing behind you. Do you think I don't know that without his support you wouldn't have been able to achieve what you have achieved up until now?"

Li Xue was not offended, rather she felt it was a partial truth. After all, without Feng Shufen, she would have never thought to step on the road she has left behind before. Shaking her head, she accepted, "I would never deny that Ms. Zhang. Without him, it truly wouldn't have been possible. But you have to believe me, sometimes belief comes from within. He made it possible for me, but it has always been me who walked ahead. Not because I had his support but because I know I have the capability at the end of the day."

She said, and Zhang Xiaotong only grunted at her speech. "You talk so big, Li Xue. But do you really have the capability to prove your words?"

"…" Li Xue didn't say but stared at the woman for some time when she heard her again.

"If you are really as capable as you say, let me see you win the lawsuit on your own abilities, without taking any help from Brother FenFen. If you do that, I promise I will leave for good."

Li Xue smiled and for once her smile turned into a mockery. Shaking her head, she looked at the woman. "Ms. Zhang, I don't know how well you have investigated me. But believe me, you have highly taken my existence wrong. I am not as simple as you think. You may not know me really well."
