Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1336 Nothing could be more precious than friendship.

　　Zhang Xiaotong took her step closer to Li Xue. Her eyes burning with intense madness. "Li Xue, how dare you threaten me with the name of Brother Fenfen? Brother FenFen is mine. Only I can have him. Just because you appear out of nowhere and he took a liking to you, you think you could snatch him from me. Dream on. Dream on, Li Xue because I would never let you succeed."

　　Li Xue chuckled. 

　　And her small laugh stunned Zhang Xiaotong. She thought she was able to threaten Li Xue after bringing her here like this and keeping her captive with her daughter but the woman simply knew no fear and that was something that eventually got on the nerves of Zhang Xiaotong. 

　　"What are you laughing at? Do you think this is a joke?" 

　　Li Xue coldly clicked her tongue. Her eyes danced across the face of the obsessive woman to say, "It's you who think it is a joke, Ms. Zhang." 

　　"You …" 

　　"What is Shufen to you? An object that one can easily play with and snatch around? If you would say no then I would say look at how you see them. Because in your eyes I can see him as nothing but an object about which you are obsessed." Li Xue said with nonchalance, knowing well that her every word was putting an effect on the woman. She could see her fist clenching. 

　　But she didn't mind, knowing that it was important to put some good brain in her head. While at the same time, Zhang Xiaotong's condition slowly started acting up. 

　　"Li Xue, what do you know? I love him. I love him more than you. If not for you …" 

　　Before she could complete, Li Xue interrupted her sharply, "Even without me there would have been nothing. He is my husband and why do you think he is that? It's because he loves me. If a man loves a woman, only then does he wish to marry her. And in my case, it happened really quickly. In just three days he gave me three titles, making me an increasingly essential part of his life with every title." 

　　Li Xue chuckled out as she said that. Suddenly she reminisced about the memory when she met Shufen after coming back to Jingling City. Not like she forgot that ever. It was just that today it came out on its own. 

　　"I, myself, couldn't put in the words. But Ms. Zhang, believe me, it happened with such gentle swiftness that I couldn't even realize when I switched roles from being a mere acquaintance to becoming his wife that he could no longer break apart. So, do you think you would get him just by doing all these things? Kidnapping his wife and his daughter like this won't make you reach him, rather would put you in nothing but trouble. Facing his wrath would be much more difficult than the time when you faced his rejection." 

　　"So, you better think twice before you pull over something." Li Xue added. Actually, she could understand the position where Zhang Xiaotong was standing. After all, heart breaks were not easy to take. She could feel sympathetic toward her. But in sympathy, she was not the woman to go easy with the person and ignore herself. The topic was running about her husband, her man; there could be no way she could go soft.

　　When Zhang Xiaotong heard her saying all that, it was like a lemon was squeezed over her bare wounds. It stung deeply in her heart. "Li Xue, what are you boasting about? Do you think I will believe it just because you say so? I would never. I know - I know Brother FenFen would never love anyone else other than me. Because back in our childhood I promised to return to him." 

　　"It was you who promised him. Neither he asked nor he accepted. Can't you understand that all these years you have been living in your own wishful thinking?" Li Xue was feeling annoyed with her continuous blabbering. She wanted to end this topic well. After all, behind her daughter was sitting. Even though she has kept her eyes and ears closed, she wasn't sure how long the little one would be able to keep it like that.

　　Does a woman have to behave like a maniac for a man who would simply never be hers? 

　　"S-Shut up, you b*tch." She stammered in a weird way that made Li Xue frown. Before she could comprehend anything, on the side Lillian panicked. 

　　"Ms. Li Xue, please don't speak more. Don't speak any more. Her illness is acting up. If it breaks out, she would turn dangerous. Then you may not be able to handle her." 

　　Not understanding anything, Li Xue turned to look at the assistant with a frown. "Illness? Is she sick?" 

　　Lillian nodded. "Ms. Zhang has gotten into a stage of severe depression. She needs immediate treatment. But when I told her about this, she brought me here like this. So, I request you not to enrage her at the moment. Only this way, it would be better. Just wait for someone to come to your rescue." 

　　She said, and it was then Li Xue realized what was weird in the woman. She turned to look back at her and tried to console her but it was already too late. 

　　Zhang Xiaotong was staring at Lilian with grudging eyes, "L-Lillian, didn't I say I am fine and I will get fine after getting with Brother FenFen? Why do you still have to portray me as if I have gone insane?" 

　　Lillian shook her head. But before she could say anything, Zhang Xiaotong snapped back to look at Li Xue to yell. "I am not insane. I am fine. Do you hear that? I am fine. As long as I remove you, I will have Brother FenFen and I will get better. So, the problem lies with you. Wait for me to send you away." 

　　She said, and before Li Xue could realize exactly what she meant, her eyes widened to see her lunge towards her with a knife in her hand. She didn't know where that knife came from. Her reflexes were fast as she was about to dodge the attack by moving on her heels slightly while opening her hands in the meantime when she saw someone springing up in front of her. 

　　Li Xue gasped while the men that had been holding her all this while ran off. Seemed like they were not professional but the woman hired them for a few bucks. 

　　But at the moment she cared not about the men but the woman who had fallen on the floor wincing in agonizing pain. 

　　"Lillian, you …" Zhang Xiaotong called with some disbelief before stumbling back on her footing. She couldn't believe that she had stabbed her friend with her own hands. Throwing away the knife at once, she stood there shell-shocked. 

　　Li Xue glared in the way of Zhang Xiaotong before getting on her knees to tend to the injured woman. She was oozing a lot of blood. Pressing on her stomach, she tried pressing her wound to stop her bleeding but no matter how she pressed the blood would ooze from between her fingers.

　　Panicking, she asked, "Why did you do that?" 

　　Lillian's breathing was getting heavier. Her face paled as she looked like she would pass out at any time. "Ms. Li Xue, please don't blame Xiaotong for this. She wouldn't have meant to hurt me; she was just acting up on her illness. Believe me, she wasn't like this. She has a sense of kindness in her heart. It's just that her love for President Feng is what makes her weak like this." 

　　She said, and Li Xue could sense the feeling of warmth the secretary might have in her heart for Zhang Xiaotong. "Don't speak more. The knife has been stabbed on a crucial part. The more you speak the more you will bleed. Excess bleeding would be hazardous. So, hold on and don't speak more." 

　　She said as she looked at Zhang Xiaotong and yelled. "What are you still waiting for? Call the ambulance. Do you want her to die?" 

　　Zhang Xiaotong snapped out and instantly rushed to get her phone. While Li Xue turned to look at the chair where Lillian was sitting before. She had thought that she was tied to the chair and that was why she was unable to move, but it wasn't like that. Only her arms were tied together. Why then did she not run away from here? Seeing that Zhang Xiaotong has not incorporated many men around, it might not have been tough to escape from the place. Then why did the assistant still stay over?

　　As she got confused, she looked at a woman lying in her arms with pain covered on her expression. Suddenly a smile covered her pained expressions as she said, "Y-You guessed it right, Ms. Li Xue. If I took the opportunity, I would have run away but I deliberately s-stayed." She was having trouble speaking but she still tried. It seemed like what she was trying to say was something important and now was her chance to put it forward. So, she was trying her best.

　　"M-Ms. Li Xue, I was waiting here to save you. I knew she would be going out of the way to kill you, s-so I waited here just to save you. Now that I have done it, you have to return the favor. Given your principled personality, I know you would agree. You would, right?" 

　　Li Xue didn't know how to reply. But when she heard her in such pain, she nodded, "Speak it. As long as it is not something I can't offer, I will try to fulfill it." She said and her words like that made the dying woman chuckle. 

　　"D-Don't worry, Mrs. Feng, I won't ask you for your husband or your daughter. I know they are precious to you. I want something else." Lillian said and her ambiguous words like that made Li Xue's frown deepen. 

　　Sensing her eyes rolling in dizziness, she was about to stop her from speaking more but before she could, the woman blurted out. "Please ask President Feng to let go Ms. Zhang. S-she is like this because of her illness. Spare her life and let her leave. Please protect her," She said and her words like that made Li Xue speechless. 

　　It was truly said that sometimes nothing could be more precious than true friendship. Zhang Xiaotong was lucky to have one in her life as well. Even after getting stabbed by her, the woman was trying her best to protect her. Even if that meant giving away her life. 

　　Li Xue suddenly felt Zhang Xiaotong looking her way. Furrowing her brows, she asked, "Did you call the ambulance?" 

　　Zhang Xiaotong's expression turned cruel as she shook her head. "I am not calling it. She deserves the death. "
