Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1304 Zhangs wouldn't be left off the hook.

　　Feng Yu Hao was sitting with ease and reading the magazine. In front of him there was Zhang Jian Guo but his presence wasn't making any change to the old man's eased composure. He was just sitting there pretending as if the presence of the other man was irrelevant to him. 

　　"Yu Hao, you are sitting here like this. Do you really not sense the tension I am suffering here from?" Not able to take his nonchalance anymore, Zhang Jian Guo asked. 

　　Feng Yu Hao looked up at him as he shook his head to say, "Even if I could sense it, there is nothing I could do to help you, Jian Guo. What I can do, I have already done. I called Shufen earlier and he said he would be coming soon. For the rest, you have to talk to him. Because truly, I don't have any idea what is happening around."

　　He said and at his such direct words, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but feel his nerves bulging out. "Yu Hao, you want me to believe that? How could that even be possible? Feng Shufen is still the President of Feng Internationals. You are the CEO and the last decision maker. How could I accept that you can help me?" 

　　As he said, towards the end of his words, his voice got raised impudently. But except for a cool smile, Feng Yu Hao gave him nothing. Closing the magazine in his hand, he simply leaned to keep it at the table as again leaning back on the sofa, he said very politely. 

　　"I can't blame you for not having the recent news, Jian Guo. You have been away from the country for many years, so you might not have known this yet. Even though I am still sitting in the CEO position of the company, I am just the nominal CEO. The main decision maker is Shufen. If you really have any issue, it would be better if you discuss it with him as I have retired long before." 

　　Zhang Jian Guo's fist clenched. Seeing him at the moment anyone could say that he was on the verge of losing all his patience. "Yu Hao, you are treating me like this after we have shared such long years of friendship." 

　　"Do you feel I am treating you wrongly, Jian Guo? You are sitting here with me like this and I even called Shufen here to discuss things with you, so that I could help in things between you two. If you are still feeling like I am treating you coldly, believe me, you still don't know how cold I can get?" 

　　"Since Shufen has done something this severe with you, you must have also done something wrong to deserve it, yet I have not asked you anything about it and offered you a seat to sit. This is all because our family once shared a friendship. Otherwise, I am not used to offering seats to our enemies." 

　　Feng Yu Hao said, and his words like that stiffened the man's confidence at once. All this while he was thinking that he could still force the man to succumb to his demands, but his eased demeanor now looked no less threatening. 

　　"Yu Hao, y-you got this wrong. Our families have had good relations for years, what possibly could we do wrong to you? Shufen might have misunderstood things." Stuttering a bit in his words Zhang Jian Guo said when a bone-chilling cold voice interrupted from the entrance. 

　　"Misunderstood the things? Mr. Zhang, before coming here, you should have cleared out your misconceptions about your daughter." 

　　Feng Shufen's deep voice rang in the air as slowly with his pace he walked inside the mansion. Zhang Jian Guo turned to look at him. He has seen the boy before in the pictures and has remembered him from his childhood, but this was his very first time looking at him after he grew up. And he must say, he looked the same as he had heard of him from the people around. 

　　Domineering and intimidating enough to make others doubt their capability. 

　　"Shufen you are here." Feng Yu Hao welcomed his son, who reciprocated with a polite nod before turning to look back at the other person in the room. 

　　Feng Yu Hao read the threatening gaze of his son and turned to look at Jian Guo meaningfully to say, "Jian Guo has come here to complain about you Shufen. He is saying that you are behind the downfall of his company. Do you have something to say?" 

　　Feng Shufen didn't look at his father. His eyes stayed on Zhang Jian Guo as he confidently accepted. "Yes, father. Mr. Zhang is not wrong. The downfall of Zhang Corporation is planned by me but I am not the one to be blamed for it. It was their own people who urged me to do it." 

　　He said and Jian Guo's face darkened. Mustering up all his strength, he glared at the boy. "You are mixing business and personal life. This is not something expected from a good businessman. Do you think this is fun?"

　　Feng Shufen heard him and his expression showed hints of mockery. Although there was no contemptuous smile on his lips, still his eyes held the glint that made the man doubt his said words. 

　　"Mr. Zhang, did I ever say that I want to become a good businessman? My personal and business life has always been one and the priority has always been my family. With my priorities set clear, what made you think that I would let the audaciousness of Zhangs against my family slide off?" 

　　He said, and Jian Guo opened his lips to say something, but then closed it down feeling himself lacking in words. But then thinking for quite a good moment, he opened his lips to say, "Shufen I understand what you are saying. But you are too young to know that this is not how things work. My daughter might have done something wrong but she loves you. Why don't you try giving her a chance? This way both of us will benefit." 

　　He said but before he could even finish his words, the temperature of the room dropped down. Looking at Shufen's fist curling, Zhang Jian Guo instinctively stepped back. But just when he thought that the man might get violent, Feng Shufen's voice came coldly piercing his eardrums. 

　　"Now I know from where the insanity seeds came into the Zhang family. It must be from you." 

　　"Feng Shufen, you are crossing your limits. How dare you talk to me like this? Did you forget who I am?" the old Zhang yelled at the top of his lungs.

　　Feng Shufen remained unfazed by his tone. "What I forget doesn't matter but there is one thing that you all must keep in mind. Li Xue is my wife and any harm in her way won't be entertained. Not even the smallest one. While your daughter has instigated something big. Do you think I would let go?" 

　　Feeling intimidated by him, Zhang Jian Guo was at a loss. In the end, he had no other choice but to look at Feng Yu Hao for help. 

　　"Yu Hao, speak to your son. I understand that my daughter might have done some wrongs but didn't we already arrange their marriage beforehand? Her actions can be justified with that." 

　　Feng Yu Hao's expression was no longer as before. When he heard Jian Guo say that, his brows tugged in a frown. "What are you saying, Jian Guo? Back in that year, I had already made this clear that Feng would never go for arranged marriages. Children had their wishes and choices. Deciding things for them at such an early age would only ruin their growth." 

　　"And how could you even justify your daughter's deeds like that. For once I can even accept that she had a heartbreak. But I have expected her to be strong enough to move on in her life. How dare she come back to harm my daughter-in-law? Did she not think about who Li Xue is? Or does she think too highly of herself to think that we, Fengs, would not care for our daughter-in-law?" 

　　Feng Yu Hao said and his every word was like a mirror to the man. Gritting his teeth, he felt utterly insulted. But at this moment, he neither had the resources nor power to stand in front of them. So, keeping his fury in, he turned to speak, "If you aren't going to help, just allow the company to go bankrupt so that we can at least declare insolvency."

　　He demanded and Feng Shufen straight away rejected his idea. "If giving the Zhang Corporation an escape has ever been in my plan, don't you think the downfall would have come before this." 

　　"You …" Before Old Zhang could say anything, Feng Yu Hao interrupted his words.

　　"Jian Guo, there is no forgiveness for the offense done against Fengs. People should know this and the downfall of the Zhangs would just set an example. You can leave now." 

　　Zhang Jian Guo could only leave with an insulted face. Behind Feng Yu Hao reached to pat Feng Shufen's shoulders in assurance. 

　　"You did well. Li Xue is one of us now. We can't let people go against her. " He said, and at the same time, Feng Shufen looked at a distance where Zhen Qinrou stood listening to all their talks all this while. Her eyes were revealing an unsaid terror that was not hard for him to read.
