Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Lin Xinyi was all ready for the things. They have already decided the sequence with which they would be proceeding the things further. She was just waiting for Li Xue to send her the signal so that they would release the confession voice clip online.

And the moment she heard Li Xue mentioning it in front of everyone, she understood it was the time for the show. She messaged the PR group and asked them to proceed with the things as decided. 

"Everything is done?" Su Fai asked when he saw the woman keeping her phone to the side and again getting concentrated on the screen. Just her stiff and stern expressions were telling how crucial she was feeling at the moment. 

At his question, Lin Xinyi nodded. "Yes, the voice confession clip would be getting uploaded online as we speak." 

Su Fai also nodded as his eyes went back to look at the laptop screen along with the woman, only to hear her whisper in a soft, hopeful voice. "Now the things are like this, I am no longer sure of the things. Everything depends on how greatly it would get perceived by the public and how Li Xue takes it forward."

"Mm, believe in her and things will go good" Su Fai replied, being all confident at his friend. Lin Xinyi might have doubts about believing Li Xue. But he has got his reasons to believe her. Knowing a friend better than anyone else was quite a plain thing but the beliefs and trusts that come with that knowledge are too extreme to let go of. 

The woman stared at him with some meaning before nodding and then looking back at the screen. "By the way, I have never thought she would be able to arrange a trustable lawyer this soon. Otherwise, if we would have waited for our company's lawyer, things would have only come to more damage," Lin Xinyi added, her eyes staring at the screen looking at the lean man standing dressed in all formals beside Li Xue. 

Su Fai coughed a little at her words before giving a plain "Mmm!" Of course, he knew of what the woman was actually capable of. With Feng Shufen by her side, who would not come to her aid. One man in her life was more than enough to bring the whole world to her call.

On the other side, Oriental Spark's reception hall.

Everyone was looking at the woman who was staring her watch up the stage. "Ms. Li Xue, can you …" Getting a little out of patience someone was about to ask but before he could even get to complete his question, one after the other, everyone's phone buzzed up with a notification popping beep. 

The people got a little curious about it but Li Xue at the front cleared their curiosity with one simple sentence. 

"There you go. The evidence I have in my support is now posted online." She said before turning to her side to give a raise of brows to Fu Guang, who was sitting defeatedly slumped on one of the chairs. "CEO Fu, you might have also received a notification. If you want, you can check it too". She added with great sincerity that was not to help the man for any good, rather was to push him into more worst. 

Fu Guang's fist clenched on the table but there was nothing else he could do. So, gritting all his fury within, he kept silent. 

Wu Long also received the notification. He pulled his phone out to check, and seeing the situation went forward to play the audio for all at the same time. Soon the voice clip was played and everyone felt shell-shocked at the words they got to hear. 

Li Xue also stayed silent, rehearing the clip from the very beginning. From the voice recording, as requested the mention of video evidence was successfully removed and was provided more enhancement to words of the end that mentioned 'smart enough to guess who could be behind the ruin'.

Of course, people were not dumb to not understand who could be? Soon every eye turned to look at the old CEO sitting at the table doubtfully for a good moment. Under so many eyes, old man Fu almost felt himself getting charged. Wiping the sweats off his forehead, he quickly said, "Why is everyone looking at me that way? Do you think I would do something like that? I am a man with ethics, and in no way, I would do such a thing to any woman". 

No matter, whatever he said, the doubt in people's eyes did not dissipate, they looked like they were already asking the man to prove their words. 

Li Xue could not control her chuckle any longer. Giving out a light one, she said, "Oh, CEO Fu, how could I blame you? Definitely, even after my downfall and Sying's success after, I believe there was nothing you would have done. People are known for their ethics and you are such an ethical man. In no way, I would ever dare to think of you, being anywhere involved in it". 

Even though Li Xue has said that way, her words have not helped in reducing the suspicion, instead, it has only increased it tenfold. But since there was no evidence regarding those suspicions, the media stopped after asking a few questions and turned back to look at the woman.

"Ms Li Xue, now that it has been revealed that the scandal years ago was just to ruin your career, how are you going to proceed with it?"

"Will you just let go of the people who were behind it and would focus on your comeback? Or will you be just satisfied with five million that you would be receiving from Oriental Spark?"

Li Xue smiled at the questions, before saying slowly, "What's the use of living in the past?"

At her words, people paused. Though they were expecting this as one of the answer options, they have never thought that the woman would still choose it. Didn't everyone know Li Xue to be one to hold the grievances? Yes, in the past, Li Xue was the one to have that personality.

"That means you would let go of this thing and would focus solely on your comeback?"

Li Xue smiled more, before again adding in a little dilemmatic tone. "But don't you feel forty million is a greater temptation which no one could forsake?"

The crowd was again left confused, not able to understand what those two dilemmatic options actually meant. But there was someone among them who perfectly understood the warning that the woman had let out publicly. 

Fu Guang felt himself tremble at the warning. Forty million, won't that mark his end? Not only in the industry but also in the society he lived in?
