Feng Shufen looked at the screen of the monitor as the temperature around got all cold and frizzy. His eyes, staring at every person he could see bullying and taunting his woman at the scene. To get the live streaming of the happenings of Western Shopper's Arcade was not tough for him. Just calling one of the shadow bodyguards following Li Xue was enough to do the job.
"President Feng! We have quite a justifiable number of shares in Western Shopper's Arcade to punish this manager without going through any complicated disciplinary procedures. We could …" Gao Fan started his words in suggestion but his voice was snapped cut at an instant by the man with a grim tone.
"No need to do anything now! Let her complete it on her own" Feng Shufen worded out. His eyes had not missed the shine of confidence in his woman's ambers. With that glimmer in her eyes, he was sure that she would not need his help in the situation.
The secretary's brows got furrowed while his lips tugged downwards. His eyes were just stressing the fierce glare at the manager, who was clearly not doing his job rightfully. "But President Feng, they are insulting our Madam. Are we going to leave them just like that?"
Feng Shufen shook his head. "Let her complete her play. Later you have to pay a visit there to let them know whom they have actually offended"
Gao Fan understood. He doesn't have to be explained what ways his President was planning for!
***
The manager did not want to take the risk of offending someone like Wen Sying. To him, Li Xue was an unknown person whose identity didn't seem to him any comparable to the trending model of many fashion brands.
So, even if he knew that Li Xue was not the one at fault, he would not take a risk of upsetting someone as popular as Wen Sying. The drama was already attracting many eyes of the people around and settling it as fast as he could was the only right thing he was feeling in the situation.
Seeing the manager's eyes, Li Xue already knew what was coming next for her. Her eyes turned frigid for a second as she looked at the satisfied smug expression playing Liu Hua's slightly aged face, then her cold eyes swept to look at Wen Sying but seeing her all dreaded at her own stance, she shook her head and moved to look at the manager.
People have damn become very materialistic these days!
The manager felt her breath pause when saw the woman look so charismatic even in such a dire situation. For a moment, he wanted to give some second thoughts to his orders but the thoughts dispersed when felt the pressuring gaze of the old woman from the sides. His eyes went to gesture his men around with his eyes, quickly asking them to take the woman away.
On the orders, the security men went forward to reach the lady but before they could even get to touch the stray hair of the woman, a cold, authoritative voice came from behind, deafening everyone's ears.
"Back off! Dare to touch her if you want to regret your lives".
As the words were in the air, few men dressed in all black came forward armed with weapons to stand around Li Xue, making a wall of defence.
Li Xue was puzzled herself, not understanding a thing. Was Mr Beelzebub out in action? She thought at first but then shook her head in denial. Nope, that can't be. He has got a very manly magnetic voice, there is no way it would sound like a woman. She debated her thoughts internally, slowly turning to look in the direction of the voice's source.
Everyone was also quite overwhelmed at the scene, so their eyes also went to stare in the same direction. It was then, they realized to which family the bodyguards belong too. The golden design of crown brooch on every men's c.h.e.s.t declared it loud.
Li Xue also recognized as her eyes stared at the beautiful lady in elegant dress, taking quickened steps towards her. Her eyes were shielded with sunglasses but still, she could see the furiousness in her brown orbs, ready to attack the enemy all ruthlessly behind those clear shields. But why was she so furious? And …
Her confusion paused when for a brief second her eyes got locked with her, and for a short while she felt her frigid expression turning soft just for her. Was she furious for her? Why? She was sure that she had met the lady only for once in the hospital and that too for only a brief moment. Was that encounter enough to make the lady get so concerned for her?
"Your Highness!" Suddenly she heard the manager greet with an utmost polite tone, bowing their head to his waist length. Turning her head to look at him, she could practically see his stature trembling in response to the powerful aura of the Queen.
Was the aura of the Queen so mighty? How come she has always found herself so comfortable around her? Was it because she has not seen her getting fierce at herself? Or was she all inhabited by it?
She shrugged her shoulders at her thoughts and then turned to give a small bow of respect to the Queen, the same as everyone around was doing. But before she could even make any attempt of doing so, the woman held her by her shoulders to stop her action.
"Your Highness …"
Chen Rui smiled slightly as she intimately leaned to her ears and said, "Formalities are not needed right now. Let's take that for later, dear!"
Li Xue was dumbfounded for a second but she didn't say much. She just looked at the queen and gave her a nod, wordlessly believing in her plans.
Chen Rui blinked at her softly for once and then turned to look back at the manager. "What was happening here?" she asked, her voice all stiff and unbiased.
"Your Highness, sorry! We were ordered to give you a good welcome but some sudden unwanted things took our time here. My heartfelt apologies for that". The manager replied, straightening himself back in his form.
"Was that the answer to my question?" The woman mused, looking at the manager with a raise of amus.e.m.e.nt on her brows.
The man was at once fl.u.s.tered. He was not someone who could afford to offend a Royal so he was already taking all his actions with thorough thought. Quickly downing his head in an apologetic bow, he said out with urgency. "Oh, my apology! I didn't intend to ignore Your Highness's question".
"…" The Queen merely rolled her eyes at the manager's exaggerated act. This type of behaviour has been something she has always hated. The overdramatic actions of the people who were nothing but fake people full of pretence. "Shoot the things now!"
"We were here to bring justice to Ms Wen Sying. She has been harassed in the restroom by this woman. Please, Your Highness, maintain a safe distance from her. She might hurt you to escape from the police". The manager blurted out in a way that was putting a confirm seal on the fact that Li Xue was the offender.
But the next thing he heard only made him dumbfounded as hell.
"What nonsense are you sprouting here? From when did my precious goddaughter have got such free time to harass some passerby? Let me see the evidence that brought you to this conclusion."
