Chapter 107 – Pity That She Was Living A Good Life.
At Feng Internationals,
Feng Shufen was sitting behind his desk, diligently working on the papers that were presented in front of him for approval. The office was in a pin drop silence, enough silent that not even the breath of the man can be heard in such a hush environment. The air of tranquillity was filled in the spacious room
Of course, it would be peace in the world since Satan was feeling the epitome of serenity. Feng Shufen was feeling content. Today's morning has just been perfect for him. How can he not be happy?
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" He accepted the request and in came his secretary with a few more files in his hands.
"President Feng, here are the files you asked for," Gao Fan said, politely placing the files on the desk with both of his hands. Feng Shufen did not say anything, just presented a nod and continued to move his eyes through the papers.
The secretary waited for the orders patiently as he felt the relaxed air filled inside the room. So his boss was happy today! The reason needs not to be mentioned clearly to him. He already knew it on his own. But he was still not able to believe this fact.
He has seen him getting satisfied after cracking the toughest deals but none of them brought this change in his cold aura. But spending just a few minutes with Ms Li Xue has made his boss have a turn of 180 – degrees personality.
Though it felt a little conservative, at first Gao Fan felt a suspicion that the lady must have cast some spell of witchcraft on his boss, or else how can he change himself to such an extent for just a woman when he has always remained indifferent to other beauties all his life.
Taking the things in that way, he almost went to check with a well – known shaman in order to seek his help if needed. But his doubts were totally denied by the dukun, saying that the aura which his boss had around her was so tough and fearsome that no evil spirits or ominous powers could trouble him.
With that revelation, he had no way but to believe that his boss was changing on his own consent, not some supernatural thing.
"Du Fan? Is he back?" the man asked, placing his powerful signatures at the end of the page. Lifting his eyes, he looked at his secretary, who was still lost in his own thoughts.
When he felt the questioning gaze of his boss at himself, Gao Fan was snapped back to the reality. "Apologies, President Feng! I was just thinking about our recent deal with West Coastal Resorts. Can you please repeat your words?"
Feng Shufen looked at him with a little calculative gaze, not believing his reason of excuse but at the end repeated his words, "Did Du Fan return back?"
The secretary nodded in polite affirmation as he said, "Yes President! Du Fan has returned 30 minutes back. He has reported that he has left Ms Li Xue, right at her place and has also seen her safely entering her house. When she left the care, she was smiling and there was no hint of infirmity on her face"
Feng Shufen nodded at his words and said, "Fine! You can leave now". Saying his words, he went back to pick another file to work through its details.

Back at Little Carnations,
Li Sheng and Liu Hua were still standing outside Li Xue's house, staring furiously at the walls as if they were the sinners of their insult from today. They were impatiently waiting for Wen Sying to come back with her car and take them away from this place. They really felt humiliated even standing for another second at this place. If they had the power, they would have surely burned this place out with that monster, disrespectful girl inside.
"Sheng, I have never thought this girl would become such an ill-mannered one all of a sudden. Look my hand is still paining and the swelling is not doing any good to it", Lui Hua complained, looking at her wrist that has become twice its width in just a few moments of time.
"What are you complaining for? This misfortune you have brought yourself. Now see, where we are? The motive with which we have come here is all ruined because you have lost your patience here. What were you thinking by comparing her with Wen Sying? Can't you restrain your thoughts and feelings seeing the need of situation", pushing all the blames regarding the situation on his wife, Li Sheng growled in a low voice.
At this moment; Wen Sying, who has gone to bring back her car from the lavish guest parking area of Little Carnations came back. Her face got stiffened and fists got clenched at the sides when she heard the greedy man word out his thoughts against her.
"I … What are you blaming me for? And how could you bring Wen Sying in all this? Don't you know how much that poor girl has sacrificed for us? If not her then I would not have been standing alive here. And you are still addressing her like she has no value. Now I really think that if you are still the same man I have fallen for? It seems I should have listened to my parents and should not have married you", Liu Hua said turning her head to another side only to find Wen Sying standing and listening to them.
Instantly, a guilty conscience hit her hard. Bringing an apologetic expression on her face, she said "Ahh! Sying, please don't pay any heed to your uncle's words. He is just a little enraged and has lost his sense of righteousness. Don't mind him". Saying her words, she walked and held Sying hands in understanding.
"It's okay, Aunty. I can never feel bad for yours or uncle's words. I have not only called you as my parents in name rather have always believed you two to be one. I can never become angry and show disrespect towards you", Sying said purposely trying to prove herself far better, sensible and above Li Xue.
"I know, child. You can never be disrespectful towards her. That's something only that evil girl can do. You are the best one that God has given to us to repair the mistake he has made by giving us that ungrateful brat", the woman said, patting her favoured girl's cheeks with light-loving pats.
"Aunt Liu, you are praising me too high. And believe me, Li Xue is not like that. She is just a little upset because we did bad to her in the past. Maybe it was unknown to us too but we did wrong to her, leaving her all alone", she said, creating a pretense of defending her dear friend.
At her words, the old woman's lips twitched. "Sying, you better not defend her for her past action. She got herself into that dirty scandal, five years ago. What was she asking us to do in such a situation? For her unscrupulous actions, she deserved to die. Pity that she is still alive and living a good life". As those words came out from her lips her eyes showed a glint of weird maliciousness and jealousy.
