Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Zhang Qian Lan didn't feel quite right about the nonchalance Zhang Xiaotong held in her attitude. Although she has not been a mother to spend her time with her daughter; since childhood, she has been the person who has monitored her all her life. 

And based on how she had observed her since her childhood, she knew this was not her. She can't imagine herself this nonchalant when the person in question is no other but Feng Shufen. 

"Xiaotong, are you sure you are alright?" Not understanding the sudden change in the girl's attitude, Zhang Qian Lan asked. But to her askance like that, Zhang Xiaotong smiled before shaking her head. 

"Of course, Ma. I am fine. I can understand what you explained to Aunt Zhen over the call. And to be honest, after the gathering at their villa, I have also started to feel the same." Zhang Xiaotong said with a smile that confessed the realization. "Brother Feng has already moved on in his life and there is no use of me going after him. He has a life and a wife. Legally I can't have a hope going after him, so I would just let him go before I get myself more embarrassed." 

She said and her words sounded so logical that it immediately made Zhang Qian Lan smile proudly at her. Reaching out to cup her cheeks, she appreciated with all adoration, "Oh, Xiaotong, you can't even imagine, how happy I am to see you like this. This matured self is what I wanted to see in you from always. And finally seeing you like this I can't get more satisfied. Truly, you are my girl. The girl whom I have groomed." 

She said before wrapping her arms around her figure in a hug to repeat in happiness. "I am really proud of you dear. Really proud of you." Zhang Qian Lan smiled more as she hugged her daughter till her heart was content. Then patting her back a few times in appreciation, she pulled back to look at her face. 

"Xiaotong, finally that you have understood the better options for your life, I want you to focus on your career. I am sure that once you get on the flow, you will meet your perfect match soon." She said, patting her cheeks before checking the time on the clock. "Aye, in our conversation, we almost forgot to check the time. It's already so late. You shouldn't stay awake for a long time. Go and have your sleep soon." 

A soft smile surfaced over the girl's lips as she nodded. "You go to your room first, Ma. I need to discuss some details of the upcoming project with the team. I will sleep soon." She said and nodding to her, the mother nodded, before bidding her a good night kiss. 

Once she left, the expression on Zhang Xiaotong's face changed, the softness in her eyes dissipated as the darkest glint of evilness danced around her orbs. Her lips that were curled up with one of her best softest smiles moments ago suddenly turned all vile. "Ma, I never lied to you and I wouldn't lie to you this time as well. 

"I will definitely find my good match soon. But haven't you always said that no match could be better than Brother FenFen. So other than him, how can I accept anyone else?" 

She said as her lips curled up deeper as she looked none less than crazy. Turning her head to both sides alternatively, she drowned deeper in her attitude to continue for more, while her fingers wrapped a strand of hair to play with. "And Brother FenFen might have wife legally married to him now. But soon he would not. At that time, wouldn't I be the only one left for him? Then I am sure, ma, you would agree to help me." 

"Don't worry, ma, just wait for a while, soon that Li Xue would be out of this world. Then everything would be fine. Brother FenFen would be with me and every relative would be in support of us because at that time there would be no Feng empire but only Zhang Corporation that I will gift all willingly to my Brother Fenfen to show my love and faith in him." 

She said and her tone was sounding so crazily scary that for a moment it could even scare the messengers of Devil. 

Zhang Xiaotong soon after dialed a number and the call went through very fast. Just after the first few rings, the call was received as the person spoke in a rough voice from the other side. "Hello!"

"Hello, it's me. Zhang Xiaotong. Did your leader come back to the country? Or is he planning to find himself a grave in whichever country he is in?" In a very much arrogant tone, the girl responded from the other side. Both from her words and her tone, it was easy to guess that this wasn't the first time she had called the person.

As she came out arrogant, the person on the other side also didn't hold back. "Respect! We are not the servants working for you here. Our deal is based on exchange, so you had better not forget. If your memory is so weak to remember such a simple thing, then move on to search for someone else." 

"Heh! Don't talk about something big now. Respect would come only when you guys would do the job for which I am hiring you. Before that don't dare to use that tone with me." She said before pausing to add, "Now tell me, did your leader return? When are you going to do my job?" 

"Our leader would be returning in a few days. We would only work on it once we receive his approval. So, wait or as I said, move to someone else." He said and then the line got disconnected, without giving any second opportunity for Zhang Xiaotong to speak. 

Once the beep of disconnection rang, Zhang Xiaotong felt herself losing but just when she could lose her control, she took a deep breath before laughing out, "It's okay, Xiaotong. Have patience. Your patience would one day be the tastiest fruit. And then you would enjoy it together with Brother FenFen.." She smiled as an ugly excitement took over her expressions.
