Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1303 The roots of Zhangs also runs deep.

　　After searching for her for the entire day, Zhang Xiaotong was finally at home. Zhang Qian Lan was fuming in rage, but the girl was not even answering her one question. 

　　"Xiaotong, are you even going to tell me where you were from last night and why was your phone coming off? Do you even have any idea what has been going on in the company? Your father is coming back and I don't know how things will turn out?" 

　　"..." 

　　"Xiaotong, are you even hearing what I am saying? I am talking to you. Your father is coming back and he sounded really off. Do you even know what that means? Tell me, did you do anything?" She asked, almost yelling her lungs out. 

　　But still, Zhang Xiaotong said nothing. She just sat there nonchalantly as if she was not a bit concerned about all the stress her mother was having at the moment. And her such attitude further escalated the worries of the woman. 

　　"Xiaotong, you …" 

　　Before she could say more a hoarse voice from the entrance halted her in her words. Her heart stopped as well because she was well aware of her husband's anger. If the girl has really done wrong to the company, he was not going to spare any of them. 

　　"You are still asking your precious daughter, Qian Lan? I have already said that she is not capable of the position where you were desiring to see her. But you were adamant, now see where your over-capable daughter has brought our hard-earned company." Zhang Jian Guo flared as he walked inside the house with files in his hand. Behind him, there were his men who were wheeling his luggage inside. 

　　When Zhang Qian Lan saw him blaming her, she could no longer hold back her tears, "Honey, why are you saying it like that? She is not just my daughter, but she is the daughter of both of us. We have planned her future like that together." 

　　The man huffed and said in a disgruntled tone. "Hmph! I have always known that she was not capable but I was looking forward to the efforts that you have made on her. But look where both of you brought me?" He said before throwing the file on her desk to see, "Our company is going to be bankrupt soon. See with your eyes." 

　　Zhang Qian Lan couldn't believe her ears. Taking the file in her hand, she read and getting all stunned by the data, she asked, "Honey, how is this even possible? This can't be …"

　　"This is real Qian Lan. But this is not as simple as it seems. Even though our share prices look like they are falling, there is a slight curve in it that's showing that someone is playing with us behind our backs." Interrupting his wife, Zhang Jian Guo said with a serious frown on his brows. 

　　Zhang Qian Lan couldn't understand. "Who could it be? Zhang Corporation has never been this weak. Can we not bring it back on track?" 

　　"We can." Zhang Jian Guo replied, before turning to look at his wife to add, "We can bring it back but for that, we have to declare insolvency. And someone is purposefully preventing us from doing so."

　　He said, and the woman's brows jutted together in confusion. "Who?" 

　　Before they could contemplate who it could be, Zhang Xiaotong said from the side. "It's Brother FenFen." Her expression was full of hostility and hatred. 

　　"What do you mean?" Zhang Qian Lan was first to ask while Zhang Jian Guo also turned to look at his daughter with seriousness. 

　　Zhang Xiaotong's fist clenched slowly but viciously, she said, "It's all because of that slutty woman, Li Xue. I will not leave her. She would have to pay. Pay for everything." 

　　*** 

　　The next day, as planned, Li Xue was all ready to go for the last day's shoot at the palace. Along with her, WeiWei was also excited. Getting ready all early in the morning, she was patiently waiting for her mother at the breakfast table. 

　　When she saw her descending the stairs, she stood to rush up to her. "Mama, WeiWei is ready already. We can leave to visit Lǎolao and Lǎoyé after breakfast." She said and seeing her excited like that, Li Xue simply smiled at her. 

　　Then nodding to her, she held her hand and walked towards the dining area. The little girl turned to look back at her Daddy Angel, who was following behind. "Mama, will Daddy Angel be also coming with us?" 

　　Li Xue turned to look at him and Feng Shufen shook his head, "I have some important meetings to attend today. I may not be able to come." He said, and Li Xue knew that it was not just about the meeting for which he was avoiding it. But she didn't probe him. 

　　Looking down at her little one, she instead helped him out to say, "Sweetie, if Daddy Angel skips his work today, wouldn't it be difficult for him to stay with you on your school's cultural fest day? Let him work and complete his task early, that way when you perform on the stage, he will be able to enjoy your performance. Wouldn't it be nice?" 

　　She said and for a moment, the little one's expression showed hints of disappointment. But after a while, she nodded with a smile to say, "Daddy Angel, complete your schedule, then you can enjoy WeiWei's performance better. For today Weiwei will enjoy being with Mama and little belittle Uncle." 

　　Feng Shufen nodded with a smile before reaching out to pat her little head with adoration. "Later in the evening, I will come to pick you and Mama up. Then we will go to have your favorite ice cream, okay?" He said and at his suggestion like that WeiWei's eyes were at once filled with glitters. 

　　Turning to her mother, she confirmed, "Mama, we will go right? WeiWei has not had any ice cream since last week." 

　　Li Xue nodded but then pinching her nose she said, "We will, sweetie. But before that, we need to finish our breakfast. So, shall we?" 

　　The little head nodded at once, before walking to the table with her mother. But even though everything had already been planned, not even for once was Li Wei at ease. She was continuously reminding herself of everything she had on her plan list. 

　　"Mama, should I invite Lǎolao and Lǎoyé to see my performance? Will they like it?"

　　"Sweetie, finish your breakfast first. When you meet them later, you can ask them, okay?" Li Xue patiently heard everything her sweetie had to say and then replied accordingly. 

　　They were having their breakfast when suddenly Feng Shufen's phone rang. Li Xue looked at him only to see him receive it. The call was almost wordless. She just heard him humming to the words of the person on the other end of the call. 

　　She had never heard him like that. So, the moment she saw him disconnecting the call, she asked, "Who was that?" 

　　"From the main mansion." He simply said as he leisurely forked the salad before putting it elegantly in his mouth. 

　　Li Xue nodded to it and turned to finish her breakfast as well. But she wasn't satisfied with just four words, so turning back to him, she asked, "Is there something important?" 

　　Feng Shufen nonchalantly shook his head. "Nothing serious. Father has called me there. Zhang Jian Guo has come to meet him and he is also asking about me." 

　　"Zhang Jian Guo?" 

　　Feng Shufen looked up at her and explained, "Zhang Xiaotong is the daughter of Zhang Jian Guo and Zhang Qian Lan." He said and Li Xue's brows arched up at the information as she nodded giving a small 'oh' in reply. 

　　"He must be there to talk about the share stat of his company. "Feng Shufen added and getting interested in the talk, Li Xue asked. 

　　"So, will he know that it's you behind everything?" 

　　"If he has reached the main mansion already, he might already know everything." Feng Shufen said nonchalantly and seeing him like that at ease, Li Xue asked in confusion. 

　　"Wouldn't it be a problem? I have heard Zhang's roots also run as deep as Fengs." 

　　Feng Shufen looked up at her with an expression of surprise. And seeing his gaze like that, Li Xue quickly said, "Don't look at me like that. To stay strong in front of enemies, it's better to know about them better and I was doing the same. I did some research and came to know about it." 

　　Feng Shufen reached out to pat the back of her hand and then reassured, "No matter how deep their roots run, I would find a way to cut them off. As for their strength, they have lost all of it the moment they have left the country to settle abroad. It was their fault to think they could come back as they wanted and create nuisance here." 

　　Li Xue didn't say anything, but she looked deep in thought. So, to ease her worry, the man reached out to soothe the locks of her hair softly. "You don't have to worry about anything. They would not have the power to reach us that easily."
