Chapter 1419 Can I Have The Best Gun?
As Li Xue said that, there came a mocking smile on her expression. While Feng Shufen’s silence was something that left Zhang Xiaotong tongue tied, Zhang Qian Lan was still not able to accept Li Xue’s mightiness over them. She still felt like Li Xue was not capable of talking back at them.
“Li Xue, do you really think you can speak all that just because you have Feng Shufen backing you up? Don’t forget that your relationship is still new. It won’t remain all the same every time. Sooner or later, it will fade away. Let me see how confident you remain when that happens.”
She said scornfully and Li Xue remained in a relaxed demeanor as if she was hearing some stupid talk that has sense but irrelevantly was making no sense. She thought to ignore it but suddenly felt the muscles of the man on her side tightening. The thought of ignorance left her because she realized that the words, she decided to ignore has pricked someone’s nerves, it shouldn’t have.
Her eyes turned to look at Feng Shufen and from the side, seeing his jaws clenched, she patted his arms reassuringly before turning to look at Zhang Qian Lan. This time her eyes were not holding the nonchalance rather it was having a coldness that could pierce one’s souls.
“Madam Zhang, thanks for holding such high concern about my future but you need not to worry about my relationship with my husband. Because no matter how we end up, it won’t be the same as what your daughter would be ending up today. So, it would be better if you keep your concern focused on her.” She said as her eyes turned to look at Zhang Xiaotong.
Her gaze like that made Zhang Xiaotong shiver and she subconsciously shifted in the arms of her mother to find some support. Feeling the vulnerability of her daughter, Zhang Qian Lan glared at Li Xue. “Li Xue, you …”
But before she could say anything, Li Xue cut her off in between and spoke, “Your daughter won’t be able to stay the same tomorrow, Madam Zhang. And that’s something I can assure you of, so think twice before you waste both your words and time. You might not be able to spend the wasted ones with your precious daughter.”
She said and Zhang Qian Lan was furious enough to spat some more hurtful words. But this time Mr. Zhang held her back. “That’s enough. Can you two understand the seriousness of the situation?”
“But …” Zhang Qian Lan couldn’t understand her husband’s serene mood. Although she accepts that Feng Shufen was the person against whom guard should be kept, yet at this point of time, she didn’t feel like the man could harm them more than he already has. After all, they were not just anyone but the Zhangs who were once their family friends. At least he would be giving some face to his family clan.
But Zhang Jian Guo knew things better. He used to think the same as his wife but the day Feng Shufen didn’t hesitate in shooting at them, he understood that for Li Xue, he could go to any extent. “Enough now. Both of you just shut up now.” He said and then turned to Feng Shufen to say in a very polite manner.
“Feng Shufen, let’s not let the women deal with these things. We are men and we can solve this among ourselves.” He said, holding the utmost seriousness in his expressions. But his showcase of seriousness brought no change in the expressions of Feng Shufen.
Looking as nonchalant and unconcerned as before, he simply deadpanned, “Some stuff is better to be solved by the hands of the women. And I believe this is one such matter. I have helped my wife arrange all of it. Now, it’s her call to make the judgment.” He said and then meaningfully turned to give a look to Li Xue.
Li Xue understood his meaningful gaze and nodded in reciprocation before turning to look at the old man.
Zhang Jian Guo might not have understood what the two had conversed but he surely got to understand that their fate was in the hands of Li Xue now. At once getting humble, he requested, “Li Xue, I understand what Xiaotong did to you was not right, but I still request you to let her go. You know she was not in the right mind and needed doctor’s help. I hope you would consider her situation and be a bit kind.”
He said and Li Xue almost chuckled at his words. “Kind! Mr. Zhang, aren’t you expecting too much from me?”
“Li Xue, I know that what you suffered was not easy for you but I have heard that you are not the woman to hold grudges. On the behalf of Xiaotong and Zhangs, I apologize to you and assure you that things like this won’t happen again in the future. Just let go of the matter this time. Feng Shufen has already dealt with all that we had. Now we are just left, be kind and leave things on a good note.”
He said and Li Xue’s expressions turned cold. “For once, I can go kind on my suffering. But I would never let go of what my daughter suffered. Do you think a little girl of her age deserved to see that cruel, demon side of your daughter? Even the Devil will think twice before revealing his sinful face to the kids, yet your daughter has not once thought about it.” She said as her eyes piercingly turned to freeze Zhang Xiaotong, making her shiver with the remembrance of all the sinful deeds she committed that day.

“I don’t know what good note you are talking about, Mr. Zhang, but I hereby confirm to you that today, I am nowhere holding back. I will return back a hundredfold of what your daughter has presented me that day. For your sake, I will remind you, that day even I begged her to let us go, but she never heard me. So today, I won’t be hearing as well.”
She said as a glint full of dark cruelty flashed in her eyes. Looking at her ambers holding such a dangerous light, Zhang Qian Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Li Xue, you witch! What are you planning to do? I am not going to let you harm my daughter.” She spoke as she protectively took a stance in front of her daughter, shielding her even from the gaze of Li Xue.
But Li Xue paid no heed. She simply slayed her hands on the side and spoke, “Mrs. Zhang, if you really cared for your daughter that much, you should have known to take care of better. That way she might not have ended like this.”
“Li Xue, who gave you the permission to judge my ways of upbringing.”
“I have no interest in judging any of you, Mrs. Zhang, Believe me.” Li Xue said and then looked at Gao Fan to ask, “Can I have the best gun, Mr. Secretary? I had no idea of this surprise, so I forgot to bring mine.”
