Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Liu Hua was all taken aback. Lines of fear were clearly visible in her expressions. Paled face, clustered fingers, eyes blinking at every two seconds as if trying to confirm the things it was witnessing. Even a stranger who has not known the lady could see the weirdness in her behaviour, then Li Xue was still a person who has seen every side of her. How could she not know?

"I never knew that Madam Li was suffering from Xenophobia", Li Xue said from the side, suddenly taking the woman out of surprise.

Liu Hua's eyes instantly turned to look at her. Her eyes got all confused at the words. Like that she looked no less than a lost puppy, though the adorableness was not the requisite feature in the situation. Looking at her like that Li Xue suppressed a chuckle inside as she added, "Xenophobia is fear of strangers. And seeing you hiding from the people just now made me feel that maybe you are suffering from it. Or else it wouldn't make sense if I say that you are hiding from them. Afterall you are neither a thief nor a murderer by nature".

It took some time but the woman understood what she was intending to say. But instead of getting offended, her words went out of the context. "When did you get so near to them?" She asked and Li Xue's brows quirked up with some surprise.

"From when did Madam Li get interested in meddling other's business? And why should I report you with whom I am close and with whom I am not? Look carefully, I am not your beloved Wen Sying."

"You …" The middle-aged lady was immediately offended. "Are you even my daughter? Look at you, moments before you were so sweet and mannered for others but now in front of me you are showing your true colours."

Li Xue looked down with a small smile on her lips. "You are not wrong to say that, Madam Li. I am showing my true colours but it's more like when I even cared to hide it. Why do you always forget that I am not like your precious Wen Sying? I don't behave how people like rather I behave in the way that people deserve!"

"You … are you saying that I don't deserve your respect? You are truly an ungracious, unfilial kid. I … I …" The lady was fuming in anger in a way that she was not able to speak any more words out.

Li Xue was happy seeing her burning in her own way. To heightened it up she simply said, "You are falsely blaming me, Madam Li. I never said something like that. But sigh I failed in conserving my actions. How did I forget that 'actions speak louder than words' … tsk, tsk"

"Li Xue, don't act high getting the backing of the people you just met. They have yet to know your true identity. I am warning you, you can't go near them or later you would not get time to regret it" Liu Hua said warningly but as if her words had just fallen on deaf ears, no heed was paid to it.

Li Xue leisurely pulled her wrist to check the time then turning to Sister Margaret, she said, "Sister Margaret, I am already late. I don't think I would be able to make any time to see Madam Li out. Please help me while I will leave for work".

The old, warm lady instantly nodded with a smile. "You don't have to worry, Madam! We will take care of it. You have a nice day." She said with understanding. Seeing the young lady so sharp and brave, she was truly happy. Her concerns were truly relieved finding this side of her.

Li Xue nodded for the last time then without giving any attention to the complaints of the lady, got into her car to leave.

Once the car was driven off the society, Lui Hua could only huff and stomp her foot on the ground. "Li Xue …" She yelled but there was no one to give her any reply.

After a few moments when finally, the woman was calmed in her nerves, Sister Margaret came beside her and said, "Since our Madam has already left, it would only be good if you also make your way out. Please".

Liu Hua's attention instantly got focused on the old lady. Turning on her heels, she looked her up and down then very crudely, she said, "Who are you calling Madam? She is just a slut and does not deserve anyone's respect and honour".

The aged eyes instantly turned fierce, making the lady think twice about the words she has spoken up. Not finding any mistake in it, she took a fearless stand forward, thinking that seeing her confidence, maybe the old lady would back down. But never knew that nothing like that would be going to happen.

"If our Madam deserves our respect or not is not your concern. But I will say as a mother, you definitely do not deserve any respect or recognition" Sister Margaret said. For a long time, she was continuously hearing this lady blabbering absurd things. Which kind of mother does that to her own daughter?

Those words instantly pierced Liu Hua's self-respect. "You … What do you think you are to say something like this? Don't you know who I am? Such ill-mannered servants she has hired. Truly ungracious she is!" she said in a yell of defamation.

 "Please mind the tone you use for our Madam in our territory. And under which mannerism it is written that you could come and backbite people in their own house. Quite fearless you are to not care about the consequences!" Sister Margaret said, not giving in to the yells of the crazy woman.

Getting the warning about the consequences, for a second a sharp shiver of fear ran down her spine. She could not dare to take that easily especially after hearing how dear Li Xue has gotten to the Royals.

No, no, she could not let Li Xue near the Royals. She has to keep her away or else it would not be any good! She would be ruined and maybe the past will make her pay in a hundredfold term…

Chanting her own thoughts in her head, she made her way out.
