Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue's expressions turned cold as her brows furrowed. She looked down at the assistant. She had lost a lot of blood already. If not brought to the hospital at the right time, she might lose her life. What was the woman even thinking?

"Zhang Xiaotong, are you crazy? She is your friend and assistant. How could you be so cruel? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?" Li Xue couldn't help but snap in impatience. In front of her, a person was losing her life. How could she not worry? She could feel the tremble of the woman's body and that shiver of hers was telling her the urgency of the situation.

Zhang Xiaotong looked down at her assistant and laughed hysterically like a mad person. "Cruel? Am I the cruel one?" She laughed more but then suddenly went all silent as evil darkness covered her being. Pulling an accusing finger at the girl's dying body, she sneered, "She is the cruel one. I considered her my friend, revealed all my heart and desires to her, and treated her so well, yet today she sided with you. Saved your life. Stayed with her all this while, bluffing me just to save you. How disloyal! She deserves to die and she will die."

She said, and Li Xue couldn't understand the mind of the woman. "What are you saying? How could she be on my side? I rarely know her. She was here for you. Because she cared for you. She wanted to protect you. In order to save you, she threw herself in front of me and took the stab of the knife. So that later, she could exchange it in the form of a favor. She knew that after what you have done, not even Heavens would be able to protect you from Shufen's wrath, so she did it. Can't you understand her emotions for you? Are you even human?"

She said but even after putting it like that, it didn't feel that the woman was able to understand. So, in the end, she decided not to explain more, but rather request. "Xiaotong, we will talk about that later. First, call the ambulance. Or else she would die. Hurry. Your misunderstanding regarding her actions can't be greater than her life, right? Call the ambulance quickly."

Li Xue requested but Zhang Xiaotong shook her head again, "I won't. I didn't bring you here to call the ambulance. If the ambulance arrives, police will arrive too. Brother FenFen will come here as well and then he will take you away safely. I would never be able to have him again, nor will I get the opportunity. So, in no way, I am going to call the ambulance. Let her die. Her death will just help me get closer to Brother Fen Fen. It's fine and worth it."

Zhang Xiaotong said, and her words were cruel to hear. When Lillian heard her say all that, her heart broke, but she couldn't even bring herself to blame her. How could she blame her? Wasn't she already aware of her situation?

She was even blameable for it. Only if she would have told Mrs. Zhang or Mr. Zhang about it, maybe this wouldn't have happened. So, in the end, she felt she was responsible for it. Her eyes teared up as she looked up at the woman with pain visible on her expression. Her heart clenched within her chest as the pain of her wound grew more and in the next second, she vomited out blood.

Li Xue was shocked. Looking up at Zhang Xiaotong, she spat, "You are inhumanly crazy, Xiaotong. No doubt, Shufen never showed any hint of warmth towards you. You simply didn't deserve it." She said as she stared down at the girl, and tried to help her in a comfortable position. If she wasn't going to call the ambulance, she would have to rush out to get help.

As she thought, she stood up to go out. But just at that moment, she heard the maniac tone of Zhang Xiaotong from behind. " I am not crazy. How dare you call me that? Brother Fenfen loves me, he has just forgotten his love for me. The moment you and this daughter of yours disappear, he will remember and come back to me. He will." She said as she at once lunged forward to pick the knife from the ground.

Li Xue didn't understand her next intention until she caught sight of her looking viciously at WeiWei.

Her expression hardened as she yelled, "Xiaotong, you better dare not. She is a child. If you really want to deal with someone, come to me. I will handle you." Li Xue said and Zhang Xiaotong sneered.

"Why not? H-Hasn't she been the one connecting you two? I am sure once she is gone, the so-called fated connection between you and Brother FenFen would also end. Then you would have nothing to tie Brother Fen Fen with you." She said as she took a step forward in the direction of the little one.

Li Wei was sitting at a quite close distance from her with her eyes closed. With just a few steps, Zhang Xiaotong would have reached her from behind.

Li Xue got anxious when she saw that.

When Zhang Xiaotong almost reached her and was ready to raise the knife up on the neck of her daughter, her hands were roughly grabbed mid-air. She winced and shot Li Xue a look, who was now standing in front of her, holding her hand with one of hers, while pressing her daughter's head into her stomach with another.

When Little WeiWei felt the embrace of her mother, her eyes slowly fluttered open. She didn't move an inch, rather staying in the position she asked, "Mama, what happened? Are you fine? Should WeiWei open her eyes now?"

"No, sweetie. Not yet. Hold for a little longer. Mama will tell you when to do it, okay? Until then just keep your eyes and ears shut. Okay?" Li Xue said. Although her expression was as cold as a glacier, her words and voice came all warm and gentle. As if nothing was wrong around.

Li Wei didn't speak her affirmation, but she nodded. Since she had promised to not ask her mother more, she would just stay obedient to her, no matter what.

While Zhang Xiaotong tried hard to pull her hand away. But no matter how she pulled, her hand never got freed as if Li Xue had gripped it with a smoldering chain. She felt her skin burn and itch the more she put force onto it but her wrist would simply not break free.

"Li Xue, what are you trying to do. Just leave my hand." She gritted, but Li Xue never wavered.

"Ms. Zhang, didn't I warn you before. How did you think you could do just such a thing in front of my eyes," She said as she twisted her wrist, making it more painful for her. "I got to know that you have gone crazy with your illness. But let me tell you, even without any illness, I can go crazy, far worse than you. So, you better not play with my daughter."

She said before dropping her hand and giving her a sharp kick on her abdomen. Zhang Xiaotong's blood drained her face and in the next second, she fell to the floor. She twisted on the floor in pain, wincing in agony.

But Li Xue no longer heeded her. The place doesn't seem safer. More than the place, the woman looks dangerous. And in such dangerous air, she can't be at ease until there is WeiWei around. So, scooping her down from the chair, she at once put her on the ground and said, "WeiWei, we will leave now. Hold my hands. I will let you open your eyes once you leave this place, okay?"

The little one nodded. Lillian was wincing in pain but at the moment, it was not her pain that concerned her, rather it was the safety of her baby. She was selfish when it came to anything regarding her daughter and she was not ashamed to say that. As long as she get her out safely, she would always ask someone to come and help the assistant later. So for now, in her heart, she has already prioritized WeiWei's safety first.

Scooping her up in her arms, she carefully made her way out, crossing from the side of Lillian's body. "Ms. Brown, please hold for a bit more. Once I get WeiWei out of here safely, I will send someone to help you. Hold until then."

Lillian was already losing her consciousness slowly and slowly but still nodded with her paled face, while Li Xue turned to walk out. Although she was alert, keeping all her attention on her daughter at the moment, she failed to notice that Zhang Xiaotong had long gotten up from the floor with a knife in her hands.

Li Xue had just taken a few steps when suddenly a wince left her lips. Her arms tightened around her sweetie as slowly she looked down the side of her stomach only to find a knife stabbed inside, sharp and hard.

Slowly, she turned to look, finding a menacing expression on the face of Zhang Xiaotong. The antics of insanity were very visible on her face.

"Li Xue, did you really think I would let you walk out from here alive? You will have to die." As she said that, she twisted the knife deeper into her.
