Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Little Fen, seems like you are getting better at making people wait for you. Look how angry you made our Third Uncle. He even thought of bringing Little Bao here to give our father an example to discipline you."

When everyone in the room was put into silence with Feng Shufen's appearance, it was just Feng Yi Ran who dared to say her words with a perfect glorifying smile. Her eyes that were staring down all this time, flauntingly looked up to look at Feng Shufen first then darting to look meaningfully at the old man that had earlier dared to dig his own grave.

Feng Shufen merely glanced at his old third Uncle, Feng De Zhong, before looking away. "Instead of teaching discipline, it's time for Third Uncle to make Baozhang focus on business, otherwise sooner or later, it will become hard for Feng Internationals to look after its continuous losses". He said with a cold poker face, that at once made the man's expressions of arrogance deflate.

Though not much was said in those words, still the warning that was intended was fairly delivered, making Feng De Zhong seal his lips shut with his fists clenched on his side. His eyes enviously looked at his older brother, who was sitting in the middle of the room.

Why was his son not as great as his?

Feng Shufen didn't bother to look at anyone any longer. Instead, he just walked his way up to greet Feng Yu hao straight. "Father!"

Feng Yu Hao nodded. "You did make us wait long". He said, purposely making everyone hear that. Though his words held the firmness, there wasn't much of the strictness in it.

"There was business to attend to in the company." Feng Shufen didn't apologize, instead stated his reason straightforwardly. His attitude was as always, nothing gentle like what people were talking about earlier. To every eye, he still looked all cold and distant whom not everyone could approach.

Looking at his son like that, Feng Yu Hao was not surprised. He wasn't expecting any change, since he already knew. No doubt he believes in the words of the maid. His son would have been gentle at home, but that never meant he would be the same outside to everyone. These people were really absurd thinking like that.

"Since you are already here. Don't delay things more. People are here to see and have things to discuss." He said and that's when Feng Shufen's eyes went to look around in the room. His intention was not to look at the people present there. He already knew who was there on his side and who was there, eyeing against him.

Feng Shufen's eyes paused at a corner, turning freezingly cold for a moment. Under his gaze, Wu Jiaqi almost felt herself getting on her knees without a word. Feeling regret deep down her heart. She was about to run off the hill when just in time, the Devil looked away, giving her some more time to live her life.

She released a breath of relief, but deep down something was telling her that her end was near. Not even the Feng relatives that have promised to bring her justice would be able to help her. Her eyes doubtfully looked at the people who claimed to become her savior. They were all sitting, keeping mum.

Feng Shufen leisurely walked to take his chair. "Discussion? From when our relatives got a habit to discuss such trivial matters on such a large scale? Have they really got so much free time to waste on household stuff?"

"It's not about free time, Little Fen. More like these days they were lacking topics against you." Feng Yi Ran added from the side. Her words came with a polite tone but everyone knew except for the tone, nothing else was polite in it. But could they speak against her?

Not even in their dream. She was not only a First Daughter in the Feng family but has also established herself to be the apple of the eye of the Chens. 

Though Chens were not in the business industry, their name in the medical field was unmatched, something that none could dare to offend, especially after having Feng Shufen in their favor.

So, at the moment, even hearing Feng Yi Ran say something daring and offensive, everyone could only press their lips and be polite to her.

"Yi Ran, this is not a trivial matter? We need to know what made Shufen fire a diligent maid out of his place without her being at fault. She has been methodically trained in our family training academy of the maids and servants and has been the best in her batch. So to fire her we need to have reasons. " Someone from the group dared to speak up. Since it was hard for them to speak with Feng Shufen at such ease, they chose to address Yi Ran instead.

At their words, Feng Yi Ran could not help but pull her lips into a disparaging smile. "Really? I never knew that. I thought it was up to the master of the house to see if the maid or servant is deemed to be fit or not. If things have been like this always, then why have we not been called like this when others in the family changed the maids and servants at their place?"

The relatives were at once rendered wordless. How could they even forget the woman defending at the front was not only the first daughter of the Feng family, or the daughter-in-law of Chens, but was also the dearest pearl left by the late matriarch of the family, Yun Yuchun. They could simply not win over her words and reasons, since she has taken almost all the attributes of her mother's character.

"Yi Ran, Shufen is not the same as us. From the beginning, he has been treated as the one who will be the patriarch of the family in the future. His every action needs to be looked at carefully."

Someone tried to give a reasonable reason but it served no good as Feng Yi Ran was strictly out to support her brother and defend his rights. After her mother left, she has taken herself to be responsible for him, and in no way she would let others bully her younger brother.

"Heh! It seems like earlier, you were not involved in the group of relatives who were planning to find someone else to fill the patriarchal position of the family." She sneered, remembering all their words well from before. "Anyway, even if that was the reason, it doesn't seem reasonable as Little Fen will be the patriarch of the family in the future, not a slave to follow your judgments and orders".

She concluded and none dared to find a flaw in her words. Of course, being the head of the family means to rule not to follow other's set rules and regulations.

But …

"But that's in the future. Right now, he is not the one sitting on that seat. And with that  reason, we can still ask him to explain his careless action of firing a maid like this." Someone again said and to his words, Feng Yi Ran was again ready to say something when Feng Yu Hao voice silenced everyone.

"Enough! Let Feng Shufen explain and end the chaos".
