Novel Full Chapter 250 - Once Known Mother.
For a moment, Li Xue too felt scared seeing him like that. That darkness in his grey orbs was truly fearsome. Like a brutal storm was rising deep inside him that can terrorize the whole world in a single second.
If the darkness can really swallow a person as a whole then she feared that by the shortest second itself, the darkness in his eyes would have swallowed at least a dozens of people giving them the worst death they can ever think of. The killing intent in his eyes was promising something to her which was making the hair of the back of her neck rise.
But suddenly she was snapped back from the horror story when the keyword in the middle of his sentence struck her.
Revenge?
Did he really say that he has to get revenge for her? But from whom?
Raising her brows, she was about to ask what his term 'revenge' actually meant but before she could, he said, "I think it's getting late and after going outside you must also be tired. Go to bed early. You are still going to work tomorrow".
He said and then stood up to walk away. Looking at her, he feared that he would no longer be able to control the desire to ruin the people, who have made her come to this melancholic state.
But before he could move away from her, she reached out to grab his sleeves, making him halt his steps in the mid. "Revenge on whom? Did you find out who set me up that night?" She asked, coming straight to face him. She won't be letting the man avoid the question again.
Feng Shufen did not say anything. He stayed still under her gaze and silently kept his dark eyes busy reading her face. His fist got clenched when recalled what Gao Fan had informed him that night about her medical records. The chiselled jaws turned more sharp to let the woman get the glimpse of the emotions of destruction he was feeling inside.
Her eyebrows got scrunched slightly as she waited for the man to say something but when even after some time the man did not say anything, she was about to repeat her words again but stopped when saw his frozen expressions moving.
"First you tell me who did that to you in the past?" Shufen asked, suddenly moving his arms to cage her between his arms.
Li Xue was confused when saw his movements of locking her to himself. Was he afraid that she would run away? She chuckled internally, thinking that this time Mr Beelzebub might have mistaken her as some low willed, weak woman. But when she saw the stern and darkened expression on his face, a wave of uncertainty stroked her heart.
She had no idea about what the man was asking her until she heard him specifying the details for her understanding. "The internal injuries due to physical violence you suffered … who was responsible for that?"
The moment Shufen finished his words, Li Xue's complexion paled. Her eyes showed some kind of expression of fear mixed with hatred that was not easy for the man to decipher, but he decided to give her the time to share it willingly.
Her health reports from her early years were not simple. Looking at it, one can easily tell how much she has suffered.
Feng Shufen knew what she suffered and endured but was almost dying to know who had dared to be that cruel to her and for what reason?
His eyes scanned her, waiting to read her expressions so that he could get to know the identity of the person even before she could reveal it. But however he tried, she was just not letting him get close to that hidden corner of herself.
"How?" Though the question was short and could almost make people confused, the man still knew what exactly she was aiming to ask him.
"I asked Gao Fan to search your background and past. I have got my reasons", he accepted honestly, without hiding anything from her … without fearing that this truth might create a rift between them … that she might misunderstand his actions for something else.
Li Xue looked at him. She doesn't know why but his honesty seemed so trustworthy and innocent to her. Without her realizing, a smile broke over her lips, making that fear dissipate into some unknown world from where it could never return.
It was not false to say that sometimes someone's presence around was enough to bring you the light of strength to fight the darkness one's heart fears.
To her, Shufen has become that bright light that brings her the strength to fight back the fear she had in her heart.
The man raised his brows when saw the woman suddenly smiling out of the blue. Turning his head to one side he was about to ask …
"It was a long painful story, that does not hold any piece of interest now. Something that will never dare to come back at me. And even if it comes I am no longer any weak teenager to accept the things the people around want me to."
She said with a smile and was about to move away but the man held her firm at her place. Though her words eased the worry in his heart, the Devil inside him was still not satiated. It was still looking at every nook and corner of her life to find her culprits. So that he can make her punish them for the sins they have committed.
"Who?" he asked in a deep, firm voice.
Li Xue looked at him for a moment. When confirmed the determination in his eyes, she said, "My once known mother!" Her voice was loud and clear to his ears. She didn't think to keep anything a secret. It was just that she does not feel like bringing it up again.
Once known mother!
Of course, Li Xue couldn't tag that woman as her mother anymore. Not because she was an unfilial daughter to her parents but because there was no such relationship left between to call them so now.
How can she forget that she has been long abandoned by them mercilessly in front of the whole crowd? The action that indirectly proved her to be guilty in the scandal, even when she was not.
