Chapter 1030 – Make Room In His Heart.
Zhang Qian Lan looked at the door and found her daughter standing there. Her brows were tugged in a confusion, but ignoring her befuddlement, she simply turned back to rest as if she has not seen her standing there in the first place.
Zhang Xiaotong was more confused seeing her mother like that. So without giving any more thought to it, she walked inside the room, probing the question once again, "Ma, tell me I am asking you something. It was Aunty Zheng on the call. What were you talking to her?"
"…" Zhang Qian Lan still maintained her silence. Her eyes were shut close in some ease as she was there relaxing on her rocking chair.
Zhang Xiaotong's anxiousness grew more. "Ma, what's deal all about? You can't lie to me now. I have heard you all. So, tell me what exactly are you planning?" Not able to maintain her calm and polite demeanor any longer, she almost asked in a raised tone.
And it wasn't surprising for the mother. Since once before she has heard her daughter like that, it felt all same at the moment as well. Because in between the two situations, something that hasn't changed is the sole reason causing it. And that was – Feng Shufen!
"Lie to you? Who do you think I am? A woman going crazy, staking her life and dignity every other day?" Correcting the words of her daughter, Zhang Qian Lan began. Her eyes opened as she looked up at the girl to continue, "Xiaotong, don't worry. I won't be doing anything reckless like you. Because even in a dire situation, I know well to balance and plan things. So don't ask me what am I doing, just focus on what you are doing because as I said my eyes are always around you."
She said and Zhang Xiaotong felt frustrated in her heart. Though she has always kept her patience with her mother, she was just not able to have the same when Feng Shufen was involved in the topic. She couldn't dare to make mistakes regarding him and also couldn't afford others doing the same as well.
"Ma, I am sure this is about me. So, I want to know about it. You can't decide my life without discussing it with me. You s-should …"
Zhang Xiaotong was in the mid of her words when a sharp, sudden glare from her mother immediately paused her. She stuttered, before completely going wordless.
"I can't decide for your life. That's what you said, right?" The mother asked getting up from the chair, to ask straight. Her eyes got all sharp, piercing the courage of the girl.
"Ma, I-I was j-just saying …"
"Xiaotong, do you feel you have grown capable to decide about your life on your own? If you think so, note my words -You can't. You just can't. For example, take the instance of all the decisions you have made in the past few days. Remember all the embarrassments and jokes you have caused around you. And also, don't forget to put yesterday's accident on the list as well."
Zhang Qian Lan berated and her words like that instantly shamed the girl. "Ma, I was …"
"Yesterday, I went to visit Zhen Qinrou for you. And we had a deal together. She would help you get married to Feng Shufen and in return, I will make her go strong in the Feng family." Without giving any opportunity to the girl to say a word, Zhang Qian Lan explained. Her expression showed reluctance for the deal. But whatever it was, since she has agreed to it, she would do it.
Zhang Xiaotong turned serious. As she turned to ask, "But Ma, is it possible for Aunty Zheng to do it?"
Zhang Qian Lan turned away to look at a distance with some thought. "Even though she doesn't hold such high capabilities, she has a brain that works most viciously. She would make sure to put all her brains to do it, even if it means eliminating that woman completely from this world to make a room for you in the heart of Feng Shufen."
"Ma, that woman doesn't hold any room in Brother FenFen's heart. She has just pulled some tricks to get near him. Sooner or later, I would make Brother FenFen see her true colors." Feeling offended by the choice of the words of her mother, Zhang Xiaotong immediately said.

On the other side, soon after dropping WeiWei off at the school, Li Xue went to the company to pick Xiao Meng along before asking Du Fan to drive the way to the royal palace.
"Sister Xue, are we really going to the royal palace? I mean is it possible for us to go there?" Still not believing that they were on their way to the royal palace, Xiao Meng asked. She was still in the state of half daze and half-consciousness.
Du Fan who was sitting and driving in front looked at the girl in the rear mirror and unconsciously smiled. Li Xue didn't miss it. Just in time, her eyes caught the expression of the driver. She connected his ray of glance and turned to look at the girl, almost guessing the meaning.
"It's okay. Check it if it's for real or not when we reach there." She said and Xiao Meng almost felt butterflies in her stomach.
"Sister Xue, I am so excited. You know, for normal public like us, it's restricted to even stroll around the area of the royal palace. But because of you, today, I will be getting the opportunity to finally see it." She said, reaching out to hold Li Xue's hands in joy. "Also, Sister Xue, are we going to meet royal people there. I have heard a lot about the beauty of Her Highness. And even the Crown Prince … I have heard that he is very handsome. It would be so great to meet him. You know I have even confirmed that he is around my age."
She said and Li Xue couldn't help but look at Du Fan in front. Though she was not sure what made her look at him, she was confident that there would definitely be a change of expression on his face.
And like she thought, there definitely was.
