Chapter 1396: …won’t take this keeping low.
“When did the royals step down from the top society chain?” As Shin Tingming walked his voice rang in the air, silencing everyone and everyone around authoritatively. He was king of the country and that was very much evident in his persona.
His entrance was just enough to make people know the respect they have to offer him.
When he spoke like that, people were utterly confused. They never remembered speaking against the royals. None of them held the courage to do that. And at the same time, no one had the boldness to ask the same.
Offended by their silence, Shin Tingming scanned the reporters in the crowd before speaking again, “The Fengs might have been on the top chain of society, but to let you all remember it again, I will repeat that the royals had never left their spot. Nor have we ever allowed anyone to disregard our position in society and the country. So, putting the comparison of the Earth and Heaven, don’t make it sound like the royals ever lacked behind.”
He said and the reporters exchanged glances among themselves, asking each other if any of them understood what was meant by those words.
But everyone was equally puzzled. Shin Tingming also understood their lack of knowledge and would have brought himself to stay empathetic to them. But at the moment the father in him was getting on the dominant side, whose daughter had just been bullied by these people. Even if the righteous king in him wanted to go easy on them, the father inside his personality was urging to teach the people there needed lessons.
Shin Tingming turned and looked at his secretary, who understood his cue. After that he left without saying much.
The secretary stared at his back and only when he saw him disappear inside the car did he turn to look at the people. Staring at them, he said in a very stern voice. “Putting an offense against any of the royals has a severe sentence under royal law. Since you all and your respective media companies have dared to come against no other but our Crown Princess, you all will soon be receiving the notice regarding it. If you wish you can keep your lawyers prepared.” He said and then he also spun around to leave.
But just as he took a step ahead, he paused and turned back again to add, “With the mention of our Crown Princess, I mean Ms. Li Xue, about whom you all have been continuously speculating about.”
Saying that he left and the people around gaped in horror. Now they found it hard to even react to the piece of information. Suddenly everything seemed to start making sense. Starting from the appearance of Shin Tingming to each and every word he spoke to them.
“What the hell! When did this happen?”
“Li Xue is the Crown Princess? How? I mean, did the royals adopt her?”
“Why would they do that? They had a prince already. If they had to make an heir, they would have made him. Why would they adopt her to make her the Crown Princess?”
“Aye, now I remember why His Royal Majesty went to defend the case of Li Xue at the court. He was not there to defend the case of Li Xue, he was there to stand and support his daughter. No doubt Li Xue has always been so close to the royal family and never was restricted when she stood beside them.”
“Does that mean Li Xue is the princess from the royal family? O my God, I never saw that coming. And we just made her look like she tricked President Feng in the relationship. Why would she even do that? With the title of royals, she would have enough resources to rule the country.”
“Why are you all even thinking about her at the moment? Did you not hear what His Royal Majesty’s secretary just said? We all will be receiving the court’s notice soon. Do you think that would be easy?”
“Oh gosh! We are doomed.”
A wave of rush and anxiety ran between the reporters. They didn’t know how they would be dealing with this. But one thing they have gotten perfectly in their head – Li Xue was not the person they should have aimed at.
At the same time, Chen Rui reached the Feng main mansion. Although she was sitting there with Feng Yu Hao, her attitude was totally aloof. She was simply checking on her phone and taking updates of things.
Suddenly her phone rang and she received it on the very first ring as if she had been waiting for that call only. Putting the phone to her ears, she asked, “Tingming, how did it go?”
“The warning has been given to them. From today on, no one would have the courage to speak or write against her.”
“Tingming, I am not asking about that. I am asking you about Xiao Xue. Where is she? Is she fine? I just saw that someone has attacked her. Is she there with you?” Growing impatient, Chen Rui asked.
And at that question, she could already feel her husband’s jaws clenching on the other end of the call.
“Xiao Xue wasn’t there. That Feng boy took her again. Rui, I am telling you if he doesn’t make it clear today, he would have to take the consequences.” Shin Tingming said and Chen Rui turned to glare at Feng Yu Hao.
“Don’t worry, Tingming. I won’t hold you back today. Do as you deem fit. But come here first. We need to make it proper. So, I am waiting for you.” She said and hearing the hum from the other side, she disconnected the call.
And then looking at Feng Yu Hao, she warned, “Mr. Feng, you better pray that this time it’s not your people involved in this. If we get to know that once again the harm has come to our daughter because of the Feng, we won’t take this keeping low.”
