Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1334 Are you challenging me, Li Xue?

　　Although Zhang Xiaotong's sneer wasn't loud, it made Lillian still flinch on the chair because she got scared of the glint of madness that she saw within the eyes of the woman. 

　　She gulped down the lump she felt forming in her throat as she said, "Xiaotong, I know you would never go according to me, but please I request you. She is still a child and has a bright future ahead of her life. If she gets traumatized now, it won't be good for her future." 

　　Zhang Xiaotong heard her and just when Lillian thought that the woman might give some consideration to her words, she saw her scoffing before looking down at the little one. 

　　Then leaning down, she held Li Wei's chin, careful enough not to scratch her but at the same time tight enough to scare her. "You are surely the daughter of Brother FenFen. You easily know how to pull the right strings of people's hearts. Look, how you made my assistant grow worried for you." 

　　Little WeiWei looked into the eyes of Zhang Xiaotong. Even though she was trembling when she had arrived earlier. There was no longer fear in her eyes now. Rather she looked quite relaxed in her demeanor as if she had come to visit some neighbor's home where her Mama had asked her to behave according to discipline. 

　　"What is there to doubt? Of course, I am my Daddy Angel's daughter. Mama says that I looked like him and no one could tell. Did you not see me properly before?" The little girl said innocently, trying to explain the best she could understand from the words of the woman. 

　　When Zhang Xiaotong saw her fearlessness like that, she couldn't help from gritting out her teeth. For some reason at the moment, the little one no longer looked like Feng Shufen to her; rather, she resembled Li Xue instead. Especially her confidence which didn't seem to falter even standing in front of her. 

　　"You are definitely the daughter of Brother Fenfen, but it would have been better if you weren't related to Li Xue." She gritted out and her words that came against Li Xue instantly made WeiWei frown. 

　　Her expression turned cold and seeing her suddenly like that Zhang Xiaotong stepped back. "W-What happened to you? Why are you looking at me like that?" 

　　Little Li Wei's gaze didn't warm up, instead staring coldly, she said, "God has decided to send me to my mother, how can you say that I should not be related to her? I am her daughter and she loves me very much. And she is my mother and I love her very much. How can you say WeiWei should not be related to her Mama?"

　　"You …" 

　　WeiWei didn't let her retort. Instead, she continued with a stricter tone, "Mama says we should not speak wrong and hurt others. Yet you spoke wrong and made WeiWei hurt. Did you forget your lessons?" 

　　"How dare you? Aren't you just a little kid? Who made you so righteous? It must be your mother, indeed."  The more Zhang Xiaotong heard her the more she felt her nerves clench at her words. 

　　But her words only deepened the little girl's frown. Staring at her, she said, "Mama taught WeiWei that if one does wrong and hurts others, they should apologize. So, when later Mama and Daddy Angel come to take WeiWei away, you should apologize as well." 

　　She said, and Zhang Xiaotong next raised her hands, not able to hold back any longer. But just when she was about to slap the little one's cheeks, a cold voice warned her, "Ms. Zhang, you better think twice before enacting your thoughts into action." 

　　Zhang Xiaotong turned to look at the entrance only to find Li Xue standing there with a threatening cold face. She was no longer dressed in her previous elegant look. Her gown was gone and now she was dressed in black denim jeans and a casual T-shirt paired with the same black denim jacket, which was perfectly giving her a mysterious look. 

　　Even though her hands were tied behind her back, she didn't look anywhere near to weak and frail. Instead, her eyes held a fire, ready to burn her. 

　　When Zhang Xiaotong saw her like that, she couldn't help but scoff. "You really are something, Li Xue. You have gotten kidnapped and have been brought here to be at my mercy, yet you still hold the confidence to give me a warning. Do you think you are capable of doing that?" 

　　Li Xue's expression didn't waver. She stared at Zhang Xiaotong with the same cold expression she had begun. "Try me and see if I am capable or not. Believe me, Ms. Zhang, you won't be disappointed." She said, making the woman's fist clench. 

　　While at the same time, WeiWei was finally relieved to see her mother. Although she had composed herself to be strong all this while, internally she was scared. Especially, the sight of the maid in the puddle of blood scared her. She was still a little girl of six years who had just seen small scratches on her knees while playing. Seeing the maid falling with her head dripping with so much blood was something she could simply not forget. 

　　So, the moment she saw her Mama, she called out to her, suppressing her sobs, "Mama, you are here? WeiWei has been waiting for you?" She said and then at once jumping down the chair, she ran to Li Xue's side. Since it was a warehouse, there were several things spread on the floor. 

　　Seeing she might get hurt, Lillian called out with some concern laced in her voice. "Be careful. The things on the ground might hurt you, little one." 

　　And it was then Li Xue realized another person's presence in the room. She looked around only to find a girl bound to the chair in the corner. On a longer look, she recognized her. After all, she has seen Zhang Xiaotong's assistant following her a few times. 

　　Seeing her tied to the chair like that it was not hard for her to deduced that the woman had even kept her assistant captive. Before she could think of the reason behind it, she felt a wrap of arms on her leg. 

　　Li Xue looked down as Li Wei lifted her face to look at her mother. She immediately spotted tears in her big grey eyes and her heart clenched. While her fingers fisted behind her back, her face turned gentle just for her daughter. Shoving away the grasps of the men off her arms, she got down on her knees to parallel her height with her daughter and asked, "Sweetie, what happened? Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere?" 

　　Little WeiWei sobbed and shook her head before leaping to wrap her arms around her mother's neck. Then after a moment, stifling her sobs, she pulled away to look at her mother and say, "M-Mama, WeiWei is fine b-but the sister maid who has been with me was hurt. This cruel Aunt hit her with a big rod and then she was bleeding. Bleeding too much before falling on the ground. Will she be okay?" 

　　Just by the shiver in the voice of her daughter, Li Xue could tell how much her princess was scared. Since it has traumatized her heart like that, the scene must have happened cruelly. Feeling the need to cup her cheeks to caress and coax her, she thought to move her hand but since it was tied behind her back, she could not. 

　　In the end, she put an assuring smile on her lips and asked, "Sweetie, will you kiss Mama first? I was thinking of asking you this all evening but didn't get a chance to." 

　　WeiWei looked at her mother for a moment and then leaned to kiss her cheeks. Once done, she asked again, "Mama, will that sister maid be okay? She was…" 

　　"Baby, she will be fine. She is still at home and so is your Daddy Angel. With him around, do you think she would be unwell? Up until now, I am sure your Daddy Angel must have known the things and sent her to the doctors. She would be fine." She said and from the corner of her eyes, she looked at Zhang Xiaotong, who clearly understood what she said.

　　"What about her pain, Mama? She was hurt too hard. The sound even made White Ears jump off my arms. He was scared." 

　　Li Xue smiled and then leaned forward to plant a kiss on her daughter's cheeks this time. "Don't worry, sweetie. With your Daddy Angel around, everything will be fine. Don't you believe him?" 

　　Li Wei nodded. "WeiWei believes in Daddy Angel. When I was hurt, he treated me once and the pain disappeared. It will work the same for the sister maid and she will be fine. But Mama, when will Daddy Angel come to take us?" 

　　"Very soon, dear. We just have to wait and he will be here in no time." She said, gazing up at Zhang Xiaotong who growled at her, almost losing the edge of patience she has been holding all this while. 

　　"Are you challenging me, Li Xue? Do you even know what awaits you?"
