Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Late at night after helping WeiWei to bed, as usual, Li Xue returned back to study to work on something. On her way to study, she suddenly remembered something and paused in her steps. Slapping softly on her forehead, she cursed, "Holy fish! How did I even forget about the promise? Ummm … now how am I going to take the consequences if Mr. Beelzebub comes to know about it?"

She remembered the bike ride at Shin You Jun's college and couldn't help her memories flashing the strict words of Feng Shufen. He clearly asked her not to race again, especially when he was not around, yet she did. Wouldn't he be angry?

"Ah, but the race wasn't serious to begin with. It was just a child's play. Furthermore, how was I alone? There was You Jun sitting behind me. Definitely, I must not have breached the promise with him. He wouldn't be unhappy." She pacified herself but her heart knows that however, she comforted herself, at the end of the day, the man wouldn't be happy knowing that she risked her life on the bike race again.

Stomping her leg on the floor, she could no longer fool her inner soul for it could guess the consequences, more than she could. "Aye … why did he have to take such a promise from me? Now, what should I do?" She asked herself before rummaging through her brain cells. "Will he even know about it? He was busy when he called earlier to inform me about leaving the country. He must have not got time to notice it."

She reasoned her anxiety but still, to be on the safe side, she planned to make a call. Taking her phone out, she dialed his number. But just after a few seconds, it was reverted to disconnection, notifying that the number was unavailable to reach. She frowned at the notification as she redialed it again. But it was the same response again.

"Aye … hasn't he gone out just for work? With his number coming continuously unavailable, why did I feel like he has gone to breed his second family while keeping us in dark here." She mumbled to herself as she tried the number once again, which was yet again futile. "Fine now, if he gets upset, I would get upset too. He gave me a perfect solution to the issue. Let me see how he gets upset with me over a bike ride now. Hmph."

Li Xue hmphed childishly as keeping the phone back into the pocket, she made her way back in the direction of the study.

Although she hasn't received any instruction from Lin Xinyi about the matter yet, she can't sit back and wait idly to hear from them. She knew to help her out, her manager would be working her wits out, and sooner or later she would be out of the mess. Yet, she couldn't just go and sleep in her bedroom when a legal suing notice had been issued in her name.

So, sitting on the chair behind the desk, she logged into the computer before opening the site of LS cosmetics. Reading every detail very minutely, she couldn't bring herself to believe the accusation that the girl had put onto the brand and her. The brand was all transparent for people to look at, providing every piece of evidence of the ingredient used. There could be no way it could even cause anyone an allergy, let alone talk about ruining someone's face to that extent.

"Then how could it be even possible? This sounds very unrealistic unless it's …" The indication was very clear, but she couldn't believe the business rivalry could stoop so low. She has read competitors playing dirty tricks in the stories and novels but she has never thought that one day, she would see that in the real life.

But then which brand could stoop so low? She thought internally as her fingers worked on the keyboard, searching for the near competitors to the LS cosmetics.

While at the same time, at some restaurant's private room Zhang Xiaotong took out a bundle of bills to pass it to the girl sitting in front of her. "Here is your first slot of amount. I hope you will not hold back now. Tarnish her name and force her to kneel down. Embarrass her to an extent that she had no way to escape but to look around for help."

She said and the girl at front smiled, fanning herself with the bills. She had covered her ruined face with a scarf but there was no hint of embarrassment in her eyes. Neither did she care to hide it, instead, she looked very much accustomed to it. "Haha … as long as you pay me, I won't hold back. Just make sure I get enough, then I will make sure that you feel satisfied with my work."

She said and Zhang Xiaotong nodded to her. Then the girl stood up and was ready to leave. "Okay, then I would leave first. After all, you are paying me such a huge sum. I dare not put you in trouble." She said, keeping the money in her purse and turning towards the exit.

Reaching out to slid the door open, she was ready to step out but suddenly pausing, she slid it back close to say, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot to inform you. Glamour World has reached out to discuss the issue. I have avoided it for now, but I won't be able to avoid it for long. So, I am informing you prior that I will go to meet them. But don't worry that meeting would never reach success for I will not allow it." She said with a smile before finally waving her hands and leaving away.

Zhang Xiaotong sipped on her tea softly as her lips curled up with maliciousness. "Heh! Now let me see how you are going to save yourself when no one is around you, Li Xue? From whom are you going to seek help now, especially when neither brother FenFen nor Uncle Feng is around."
