Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"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." 

When heard the arrogant scoff coming from the distance, both Li Xue and Feng Yi Lan turned to look in the direction. But due to the crowd ahead, the face of the person causing a ruckus wasn't visible. 

"Who the hell has come now?" Feng Yi Lan worded in an irritated tone as she moved to look ahead at the scene. 

While Feng Yi Lan was focused all on the person whose voice was piercing her ears, Li Xue's gaze darted to look somewhere with concern in her eyes. But not finding the person any longer at his place, she could only sigh under her breath before following Feng Yi Lan. 'Director Qi! Director Qi! I hope you know the right way to act in your love'. 

Reaching the spot, Feng Yi Lan's brows wrinkled when she spotted one of her employees looking down at the floor in humiliation. Her gaze darted to look at the cause and the moment she realized who it was, her stomach churned making an uncomfortable feeling inside her. Working on her inner voice, she was about to rush ahead to teach the woman a lesson but was considerably held back by Li Xue. 

"Hold your calmness, dear. Don't just go ahead and behead her when you can do a lot better without staining your sword." Li Xue said and Feng Yi Lan just gave her a small glance to let her know, none of her words had come to her understanding.

Seeing the confusion on the features of her friend, Li Xue could not help but shake her head. "There is nothing too deep to it, Yi Lan. I just mean don't go on a war with her right at the moment when you can handle it with easy words. Don't forget, right now, you are not just the young lady of the Feng family but also a professional representative of Aurora. Be a little restrained and curt in your words". 

She explained. Knowing her friend best, she wasn't unknown to the attitude of Feng Yi Lan. Though not in front of her, Li Xue knew how worst arrogant her friend could be to the ones who are not respectful to her and her people. 

Feng Yi Lan stared at Li Xue and understood. After a short time, she nodded. "Fine. I will keep my words and attitude in check. But right at this time, I should go and stand beside my employee. He doesn't deserve such treatment there" She said before looking one more time at the scene of the bully going at the front. Her eyes, not missing the presence of Qi Shuai at the spot as well. Though equal anger was written on his face, she did not care to acknowledge that. 

Li Xue smiled. That was her friend. Her Yi Lan! A woman who knows her responsibility for the people around her. Her hold on Feng Yi Lan's arms loosened as she let go of her. 

Feng Yi Lan who was all engrossed in the stirred trouble at the front didn't put any special glance at Li Xue's admirable eyes on her. Instead, she walked her way up to Liam Hui-Ying to ask. Her eyes looked at the woman but her question, clearly directed to the boy standing there with his head low. "Boxu, what's the matter here?" 

When heard the composed voice of the girl, Qi Shuai looked at her as well. His lips curled to give a playful smile, wiping away all the anger he had evident on his face. If it has been in his control, he would have long dealt with the issue, but since there were so many people around and he was representing Feng International at the even, he dared not think to implicate the hard work of Feng Yi Lan, making people assume that even for such a small matter she needed someone's support behind her. 

"Boss, I am sorry. I was in a hurry rushing back here and in the rush, I collided with this ma'am here. This dress piece got a little damaged and …" The employee tried to explain with his best, omitting all bad words Liam Hui-Ying has used for the brand. But Yi Lan never had weak ears. Even not mentioned, she has heard all the words coming from the woman before. 

So smiling, she nodded, shushing the employee halfway. "You are not hurt, right?" 

The employee shook his head. "No, Boss. It's just that the dress got a little damaged and a model was all ready to wear it for the show." 

"That's not an issue. We can deal with that easily."

"What are you asking him for? It has been me who got hurt. He collided with me not the other way round" Liam Hui Ying boomed again when saw Yi Lan not sparing any heed to her comfort. 

Being brought up in a rich family, she was used to seeing people looking for her needs and comfort. Now that something different was happening around her, she could not control herself and say. Furthermore, something else was also irritating her, and that was Qi Shuai's aloof behavior. She has been fond of him since childhood but now, he was no longer looking like one she has known in her past times. Instead, his eyes were puppily staring at the woman that was not her. 

Seeing him like that, she had an urge to claim him as her own but the moment she went to wrap her arms around him, he shrugged her off, stepping away from her. Like he was declaring to the world that in no way he was associated with her. 

Feng Yi Lan also didn't miss it. Her lips curled up at the show which felt like a slight mockery to Liam Hui Ying. 

"I am sorry, Ms. Liam. But as far as I know, you are the guest here, and the sitting arrangements for the guest are arranged outside, near the stage area. They are not allowed in here. Even if it was his fault, there is no way we are bound to apologize to you because the start of wrongs has come from you. So, please don't expect such lavish things that you don't have the power to afford". 

Feng Yi Lan said. Her words come out just to show the woman her place, keeping both politeness and professionalism in check. 

Liam Hui Ying's expression changed. "You …" 

But before she could say a word, Feng Yi Lan turned on her heels, letting her employee know the things to do next. Not caring to give any face to the woman.
