Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue already had an inkling that what Ms Lin did was just to bully her. Though she was not sure the reason behind her such behaviour, but simply thinking her to be some bully would not make any sense. There must be some reason behind, about which she was not sure of.

But her indirect involvement or reasoned involvement did not prove her actions to be right. So when the time came, Li Xue did not hesitate in giving some piece of torture to her. And it was quite satisfying when she saw it working.

Ms Lin's face got paled when Feng Shufen was mentioned in between her words. She felt like the floor beneath her got slipped away. She just could not contemplate what next would be waiting for her now. "You … you submitted to whom?"

Li Xue smiled as she gave her one more repetition of her words out of courtesy. Lifting her lips from both the sides, she said all softly like that was something very simple and in place of her, if there would have been any other then they would also have done the same.

"I submitted to President Feng, Ms Lin. Apart from him, I did not find anyone right for this situation. Is he not suitable enough in your eyes? Should I have submitted it to someone else here?"

Her words were dipped in true innocence, something that would have made people remember little WeiWei if Li Xue had not been an adult. Now one can say, where WeiWei got her sweetness from! The only difference that could be drawn between them was the hidden presence of the slight cunningness. Little Li Wei was too small to have that in her.

When Ms Lin heard the words of Li Xue, she could not cover her eyes from giving the pitiful expression. She eyed her like Li Xue was some witch. Did she really ask if President Feng is not suitable enough for this situation? Ahhh … did she not get anyone less suitable than him?

Why did she go for some sword when she can also opt for a needle? Wasn't this just to put her into bad?

She wanted to yell at her but she doubted if now she had the strength and power left within her to do anything so? It was not her first time of misusing her power like this, but she never thought that it might become her last one at the end.

She knew well how strict Feng International was against such acts bullying … but how could she have thought that she would get caught into it this time? Especially when she was doing something good. She was just helping her friend to show this woman her right place. How can she be punished for a good deed? She cried inside.

Li Xue looked at the woman, feeling a little pity inside but was she to be blamed? Of course not, she was the victim here, not the perpetrator. Seeing her already getting worse, she pulled her watch up once again as she mentioned her earlier words again.

"Ms Lin, sorry! But I think I should leave now. Since I have settled the work here, I need to get back to work too. Seeing you so hardworking and dedicated towards your work, I can't help but be inspired. So, I will ask your leave now. Allow me!"

Ms Lin was so stricken at this moment that she did not dare to move even a bit. She just stood and looked at the woman moving out. What did she do wrong that her destiny made her cross paths with this cruel woman? Now she was no more sure, how long she would be lasting here. She regretted her doings because she would be losing her hard-earned job because of it now.

At this time, Ms Lin's phone rang, snapping her back from her trance. "Who is it?" she asked in an irritated tone, not wanting to talk to anyone now.

"Mam, the bouquet that you have asked to prepare is all ready. Should we send them now?" the person from the other side asked all politely.

But hearing that politeness at this time, Ms. Lin felt more infuriated. Clenching her fists at her sides, she yelled hard, "Do whatever you want! Didn't I already pay you the money. So for what are you asking me now". Releasing some of her frustration on the florist, she rudely disconnected the call.

On her way out, Li Xue felt a pair of eyes following her movements. When she turned to see, it was the same receptionist whom she had met before. Her eyes held some interest in it, trying to read something hard in her. Li Xue felt her actions amusing. Smiling to her slightly, she offered a polite grateful nod to her as she took her step out of the building.

The receptionist blushed hard when saw Li Xue being so polite with her. An inspiration grew in her heart to become someone like her. She has witnessed everything before and that too from the very beginning. She has seen her beauty and patience, her politeness, her down to earth nature and then also her cunningness.

Everything in such perfect proportion that she doubted if she had been really a human or some mythological character out of fantasy history. She was too perfect to be true! And then her gracefulness while walking out. Everything about her has been so perfect that it urged her to become someone like her. And in that instant, without Li Xue's knowledge, she became an ideal for someone.

Outside, in the parking lot, when Li Xue was about to get inside the car, suddenly her phone rang. Halting herself, she first took the call as it was from none other than Feng Shufen from upstairs. Picking up the call, she was about to offer some greeting but the man was too impatient on the other side. Without allowing her to speak, he asked directly, "Did you already left?"

Li Xue was a little confused at first as she could hear some desperation on the other side. "Umm nope! I was about to get inside the car to leave".

"Okay! Wait for me. I will be downstairs in just a little time" He said and disconnected the call in a rush as if he was about to miss something and he was rushing to grab it. Li Xue was confused but she did not ask but waited for the man to come.
