Chapter 657 – Cherish My Soul Friend The Most.
While in Cygnus International School, the Principal was quite dumbfounded seeing the old man suddenly visit out of blue. "Mr. Feng, sorry, we didn't know you will be coming today. Please take the seat, I will go and arrange a few things for you." She said, feeling a little stressful at the situation. Though it was her second time meeting the man, she was still a little stressed about his arrival.
"There is no need. I am here to discuss something. Sit down, so that we can proceed". Feng Yu Hao plainly said, gesturing to the woman to take the seat first. "Last time when I visited here, I was really amazed with the potential the school holds. I personally want to support it in a better way. Can you detail me more about the things, so that I can understand it in a better way?"
He said but to his words, the principal only smiled before shaking her head. "We are really grateful for your support, Mr. Feng. But right at the moment, our school is not facing any difficulty regarding these things. All thanks to President Feng, who has personally sent his secretary, Mr. Gao Fan to take care of it. We will always remain grateful to the Feng family, who are taking such high initiative in improving the things for our students and their future".
Hearing the woman praise his son, Feng Yu Hao could not help but smile. Of course, he knew all arrangements that his son had made were not solely for the school, but more was to bring the best to the little girl he had chosen to call his daughter. "Oh, I see. It's good then." He said, nodding in understanding to the intentions with which his son would have done this.
"Still, I think since I want to do something for the school and the students, being one of the trustees I can add a scholarship for their better future. A scholarship that would sponsor the complete education expenses of a student worldwide." He offered after giving some thought and this time, the principal could not reject.
Looking a bit hesitant at first but then accepting it, she said, "We cannot reject that, Mr. Feng. But is there anyone already favorable for that scholarship in your eyes?"
Feng Yu Hao paused, rubbing his chin lightly with some thought. "We cannot be biased in choosing the student. So, I will relay this responsibility to the school authority to choose the right criteria to decide on the student's eligibility and capability." He said and the woman nodded in understanding.
"We got your intentions, Mr. Feng. You can depend on us. We will select the rightful one" She assured and waited for the man to say more.
"I don't have doubt but before that I would still want to meet a few students to know their thoughts about it and also their aspirations"
"Why not Mr. Feng? I will ask someone to arrange the students in our auditorium. Please give me some time". The principal readily nodded, before getting up to go and make the preparations.

Back in Feng Household main mansion,
Zhen Qirou was pacing back and forth in her room, fuming at the offense she was feeling from the last few weeks. Nothing was going according to her plans. Neither her daughter, Feng Yi Lan nor her plans regarding Shufen's marriage.
Though right now she was favoring Zhang Xiaotong, in actuality she had never wanted her to become Feng Shufen's wife and the future mistress of the family. The sudden appearance of Li Xue has just ruined all her thoughts and plans.
"That woman … Why did she appear in our life? Without her, things would have not turned this worse. Shufen would have remained a little easy target to down". She snorted to herself, thrashing an antique porcelain vase on the floor. "First it was Yun Yuchun and now it is Li Xue. How many murders does this universe want me to execute?" She yelled, feeling all infuriated about the things. A hostile glint evident in her eyes.
But all her thoughts and hostility suddenly came to a stiffening pause when heard the voice from behind, a little suspicious and ready to point accusations at her. "Execution? Whose execution is Ms. Zhen planning now? Is it again someone's relationship or has your interest shifted to take away someone's life?" The voice deadpanned.
And Zhen Qinrou didn't take another moment to turn around and explain. "Yi Lan, what are you saying? You might have misheard. I was saying that there are several plans left for execution".
She explained and to her explanation, Feng Yi Lan just rolled her eyes with disinterest. "How can I forget that you are a woman who always plans and plots. No surprise you still have your list left to complete and I am sure, it will always remain the same."
She said before slowly entering inside the room with her hands folded over her chest, while eyes staring at the ceramic shards scattered on the floor.
"Yi Lan, what are you saying? Is it necessary to always take your mother wrong? Kids always define their mother to be like some angel. But your words only make me feel like you take me as …" Zhen Qinrou tried to start the conversation with her daughter only to get ignored at the very first instance.
"Oops, I have heard our butler say once that this vase was brought by father from Italy and was an antique piece. Too bad! Ms. Zhen let out her frustration onto it, bringing such a heavy loss. Both the beauty and the money got wasted. Sigh", Feng Yi Lan sighed, shaking her head in disapproval.
"Yi Lan, what are you saying. It just fell off by coincidence, I wasn't intentional".
Feng Yi Lan's gaze lifted to look at the woman before sending an easy worded yet severe warning. "Father might not have cherished this vase enough, that's why you are at such an ease even after ruining it. But I hope you don't judge me in the same light as my father. I am Feng Yi Lan, who cherishes her things more than anyone else, especially my soul friend, Li Xue."
