Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Okay, Mrs. Li I won't take much of your time. You must be busy making arrangements for your daughter's engagement. And about my coming to the party, don't worry, I won't miss the free food from my ex's engagement. I will surely be there on time". 

Li Xue said disconnecting the call at once, not caring about the person on the other side of the call. And like she has said early, she has saved her tone of respect this time, without wasting it on people who don't care for it. 

Liu Hua gritted her teeth as she stared down at her phone. "This girl, I will see in the coming days how can she pretend to be this arrogant? She will have to pay for her attitude today". She said, her eyes glinting with evilness while voice holding confidence as she has kept herself all prepared for the things. 

"Okay, okay, don't gloat like that before seeing through the whole of the scenario. Did you really not think of her to be your daughter. How can you be this cruel to her?" From the side, Li Sheng said. The plans of his wife were not unknown to him. Though he was not playing any part in it, he wasn't strictly rejecting the idea as well. For his own well sake, he has just kept himself distant from it. 

When heard her husband, the woman gave a look of sneer before taking a leisure walk to pour herself a cup of tea. "Don't say all of a sudden you are feeling fatherly love and concern for her. She is not the real daughter for you to care for. So don't think too much for her. I am doing what is right to do". 

The man shook his head, "Even if she is not my daughter, she is still the one you have birthed to. Do you really have to do all that to soothe the grief of the dreams that you were not able to attain in your life? Don't you feel you have done enough already?" He asked, staring at the woman. His expressions and words, not capable enough to be called righteous. 

Liu Hua's fingers clenched tightly on the cup in her hands and it almost felt like if not released on time then the delicate porcelain cup would definitely become shards on the floor. "Li Sheng, did you forget why I was not able to attain those dreams? That was because of her. Because she got inside me to ruin the whole of me and my career. How can I accept her to attain her dreams then? Did she really think that after making me lose, she would be able to ascend her way? No way, I will never permit". 

"Furthermore, this time it's not just for me, but also for the sake of Wen Sying's happiness. She is such a good child. We can't let her suffer because of that unfilial brat. Don't bother asking me to think about it twice. I know what I am doing and I will never regret doing it." She said and Li Sheng could not say anymore. He feared the consequences so he was continuously warning the woman about it. But since the woman was not supportive of hearing his words, he could do nothing.

But little did the couple know that this time it won't be that easy for them. Neither the woman will be able to escape the drama she was stirring, nor the man would be able to shrug off the blame from his shoulders. No matter what they would do later, they would simply not be able to redeem themselves.

On the other side, nearly at midnight, Feng Shufen was sitting alone in his study all engrossed in thoughts. There were no books or files opened in front of him to keep him occupied, rather he only stayed sitting there pondering over the things. 

He felt guilty but he knew he was not the one at fault. He wanted to blame himself for all the mishaps in Li Xue's life, but he could not let the real culprit escape. So he could just … 

His eyes turned cruelly dark as he reached out his phone to make the call. The number seemed already on his recent dial as he didn't have to search long on the phone before putting it on his ears. 

After the first few rings, the call went through as a very alerted voice came from the other side. "President Feng!" 

"How are things with Pan Hong? Did he say anything?" Feng Shufen asked. Just with his tone, Gao Fan could tell the door of Hell has shot open again to summon the devil back for the judgment. 

The alert tone of the secretary became more serious as responded, "We are still working on it, President Feng. But the man is simply not letting anything out. Recently he is acting insane but we have asked the doctors to check on him. They have said that our process of torture was kept strictly under the guidelines, so there is a possibility of him tricking us. But nothing could be said for sure". 

Hearing that, Feng Shufen's eyes turned more brutal while his hands that had been kept over the table clenched. "If that torture could make him go insane, increase the level twice fold. Even if it means to make him dead, bring him to his grave before making him rise again to reveal the things. I just want the truth out of him" 

"Yes, President Feng. I will ask our men to work more rigorously on him" Gao Fan said before he heard a beep of disconnection. 

While Feng Shufen on the other side just rested his head on the back of the chair, trying his best to suppress the bloodthirst he was feeling inside himself. His eyes closed while breaths came out heavy in the form of irregular heaves. 

But right then came a voice from the entrance of the study that made the whole mechanism going inside him come to a pause. 

"Daddy Angel, are you not sleepy yet?"
