"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Li Xue asked, looking at the man through the mirror. He was sitting and doing his work on the ŀȧptop. Never in time, she could see him relaxing in the twenty-four hours. The only time he takes rest is when she or Li Wei ask him to accompany. But could she complain about his workaholic attitude?
Nope, she couldn't, knowing the great responsibility he held on his shoulders. There are thousands of families and his great company dependent on him. Though she cares for him, she could not be insensitive towards others.
Feng Shufen's fingers paused on the keyboard as he glanced at the mirror once before reverting it back on the screen. "Do you blame me?" He asked and with his attitude, Li Xue felt a little awkward with his attitude and the tone he used with her. It felt like he was guilty of something.
She stared at the mirror for some time, before turning and staring again at him with perplexion. "Blame you? Why would I do that?" She asked with a surprised tone as she stood up to walk in front of him. I am just thinking that if I would not have understood your plan before, I would have messed up in front of your sister. Then how could I be able to compensate for your efforts?"
"…" Feng Shufen immediately looked up at her. His eyes got colder, holding the expression of confusion in it which he easily concealed before even Li Xue could see it.
"By the way, did Director Qi also believe those fake DNA reports? I thought he would not, but then again thinking of it I don't think he would have any reason to not believe it."
Li Xue said more and with her confidence, the man simply asked, "Why?"
She scrunched her nose before shrugging her shoulders. Walking up to him, she slumped on the couch beside him to reason, "Who would not believe your words? Did you forget your identity as the great Feng Shufen of Chiboa? Of course, no one would dare to doubt you, less say doubting when you have presented a clear DNA report to them. Furthermore, I personally feel like Li Wei looks more and more like you. Looking at her, everyone could vouch that she is the kid that we have made together".
Li Xue said and at her thoughts and words, Feng Shufen could not help his lips from curling. Definitely, WeiWei could only be their daughter together. Their fated destiny that has brought them together. Be it six years back or six years after.
He was content with their entwined destiny and seeing her positivity about the idea, he thought again to reveal the truth to her. "What if …"
But before he could say anything, the expression on Li Xue's face changed, becoming a lot more serious. "I could never blame you for anything. The one who would be blamed could only be the one who was the reason behind all this. The one who has been desperate to play with lives. The one who was responsible for my ruin and my daughter's emptiness for five years. And mentioning him, I am sure I could never resent anyone more than that one person in this world."
She said, looking at a distance before turning to look back at the man whose eyes were staring and reading the depths of her eyes and words. Her lips curled up into a smile as she pinched his cheeks. "So Mr. Beelzebub don't ever think that I could blame you or anyone more than that one person? Though I don't know who he is, still I am sure, like him, I could hate no one."
Li Xue said and just with those words, the whole thought process of Feng Shufen changed. The confidence he held before wavered.
At that moment, Li Xue's phone rang in the corner as she went to pick the call. Her eyes rolled when she saw who was calling her. Receiving the call, she greeted, feining recognizable politeness in her tone, "Good evening, Mrs. Li! How could I help you?"
"You don't have to fake politeness with me. I know your unfilial dark heart already, so don't bother to make efforts like that". Liu Hua said from the other side of the call and hearing her words Li Xue could easily sense the sneer over her lips. Even though she didn't know what the plan was, she could easily feel something cooking in her brain.
A fluttery chuckle left her lips. "My apologies. I will try my best to save it from the next call" She said and the bluntness in her words at once slaughtered the loftiness of the woman who had made the call.
"You …" Losing her composure, Liu Hua was about to explode but then suddenly something or somebody restrained her as both her words and tone changed. "I am not interested in a debate on that. Just tell me your address you have shifted to and I will end the call". She said.
Li Xue's curl of lips grew deeper as she laughed. "Aye, how come I never knew you were so concerned about my living?"
"Who is concerned about your living? Don't think yourself to be that high and mighty just by one successful fashion show. Sying has done a lot better than you. And it is just for her happiness that I am calling you today. She wanted to include you in her big day of happiness so it was about sending the invitation card to your address. Don't think otherwise."
"Oh, my bad! It almost slipped out of my mind. No worries. You don't have to bother yourself, learning my address. It's just about an invitation, right? You can send it to my company. That's Glamour World. They would send it to me".
"You …"
"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". She said disconnecting the call at once, not caring about the person on the other side of the call.
