Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

On the other side, Wen Sying's jaw clenched as she read the comments ongoing on the internet. Though she was not praying for anything better for herself, in her heart she was still wishing the ruin of Li Xue's comeback and career. But little did she know, the more she will pray ill for some, the higher they will get the lucks. If known, she would have prayed for the goods instead of the worst. 

"Argh! Why again? Why is she again so lucky? Was having Wenting in her support was not enough? How did she even manage to climb up to the grace of President Feng? How?" Wen Sying yelled, feeling a painful twist in her stomach. 

At her scream, Da-Xia flinched but then she quickly added. "Sying, President Feng might have just posted it out of nobility. We cannot forget that Li Xue has been working as a dessert chef under the banner of Sweet Delicacy. Companies often encourage their employees, it's the same. Don't mind it too much, after all, there is nothing we can do in it". 

She said, keeping the best interest in check, but when felt the burning glare of the woman coming her way, she had no other option but to seal her lips. 

"Don't lecture me with that. I know things better. Of course, in no other deeper way can she be associated with people like him. Encouragement? Heh! You stated it too lavishly. I am sure, it must be that stupid chick Yi Lan. She must have gone crying to her brother asking for his help. There would not be any otherwise". 

Wen Sying consoled herself saying whatever she could come up with to ease her heart. But deep down in somewhere, she could feel – things weren't only as it was coming to the eyes. There was something more in it which people weren't able to reach out yet.

Her eyes went back to look into her phone while her gaze could not hide the tinges of jealousy she has always felt inside her heart. 

'Li Xue, you better don't climb too high. Because the farther you will fly, the harder you will fall to the ruins. So save your energy and don't disappoint yourself too much.' She thought internally as she grudgingly bit the inside of her mouth.

On the other side, at Aurora Fashions : 

Everything was pulled up to its perfection. Though people were still running around giving their last round of efforts, the air was no longer as chaotic as it was before. Feng Yi Lan was back to her usual attitude, all sweet, friendly, and diligent in her work. 

"Xiao Meng, people look a little busy here. If you are free, could you please help me call Daisy? She has gone to check the things at the stage". Feng Yi Lan asked softly, looking around in search of someone. 

Xiao Meng looked at Li Xue. Her work was to help and attend to her needs. What if she left and Li Xue needed her for something. It was the day of the main show and she couldn't dare to be too careless. Thinking of that, hesitation became evident on her face.

Looking at her, it didn't take Li Xue time to understand her thoughts. Smiling, she nodded "It's okay. I am fine at the moment. You can go and help first. If possible, be quick in your return". 

"Okay, Sister Xue. I will be quick then. But if you need anything, please call my number. I will run back to you." The young girl said, running halfway already. 

Li Xue smiled at her, giving a nod of assurance. 

"You have got a good one there," Feng Yi Lan commented, her gaze following the young girl speeding through the corridors. 

"Mhm. She is adorable. But you don't have to envy me since you are not lacking with such people around" Li Xue said as she checked her makeup in the mirror. She was yet to get dressed but her make-up was already put to its perfection.  A very light shade that could easily be molded in any contrast later. 

"Indeed. I would not deny the truth". Feng Yi Lan said cheekily, waving her hands in attitude while giving a side glance to her friend in the mirror. 

Li Xue shook her head at her show. "Fine, fine, I accept defeat. Now, leave all that, and let me ask you, are you sure of the pattern you have planned to follow today? Though the plan is awesome, it will need really tough coordination, both from models and backstage staffs". 

"Didn't you just agree that I have an awesome set of people? Of course, I am sure that they will do their best to make my plan a success." Feng Yi Lan said, looking at everyone around. They were all busy checking the different models standing in lines.

Li Xue also followed her gaze and agreed. No doubt the people were all looking confident and meticulous in their work. "Then count me in as well. I will love to contribute in such high-end confidence." 

"Mhm. Someone no longer seems nervous. Is there something special?" 

Li Xue chuckled, shrugging her shoulders. "Nothing too special. It's just the fact – People and the environment around contribute to one's mood. I feel like I got all influenced with rich credence here." 

She said and both the friends laughed out loud, making the air more cheerful. 

Right at the moment, Li Xue spotted someone coming their way. But before she could say anything, a pretty loud, arrogant scoff came from a distance, taking everyone's attention at once. 

"Do you even know who you are talking to? How dare you ask for compensation for such a lowly dress? With this piece, except making this show a flop, nothing good will be coming to the way of your brand." 

It was a woman's voice that at once got on Feng Yi Lan's nerves, making her walk the way to check who the hell had come to act so arrogantly and impolitely on her show.
