Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1196 Demoness who has followed the Devil from the Hell.

Li Xue's lips tugged up in a smile as she reached for her phone. "Now I know how to reach him." She said as she was ready to walk outside to make a call.

Feng Yi Lan didn't understand and halted her by her arms. "Girl, where are you going? I know I am your friend and you don't have to be so formal with me. But I still rushed here early in the morning. I haven't had my breakfast and I am famished. Won't you ask me anything?"

Li Xue looked at her and slowly her lips curled deeper. As she removed her hands from her arms, she reached out to pat her shoulders with a smile and said, "This is your brother's place and also mine, your best friend's. You don't have to hold back. Treat this place as your own."

She said and Feng Yi Lan was dumbfounded. She would have called Li Xue cruel to ask her to go to the kitchen and cook for herself, but the girl has framed her words so well that she couldn't even say anything to her. So, pursing her lips at her, she simply stared.

Li Xue wouldn't be her friend if she couldn't read the sulk on the face of Yi Lan. So, to make up to her, she suddenly suggested looking at Qi Shuai on the side. "You know I have a better idea." She said, swiftly moving her fingers on the phone screen to text someone.

Qi Shuai caught his gaze earlier and had felt something odd. But before he could realize it, it was already too late to interrupt and make changes.

"Why not ask Director Qi to prepare something for us? I heard from you how delicious he cooks. I can also try some." Li Xue said and Feng Yi Lan turned to look at Qi Shuai with expectant eyes.

The director felt all speechless. It was not like he had any issue with cooking for the ladies, but the way he was used in the situation felt quite astonishing. The woman who seemed like an angel to him all the time was suddenly looking like a demoness who has accompanied the Devil from Hell and has been his student for eternity.

He opened his mouth to say something but closed it when saw Li Xue smiling at him. This woman was really cruel. More than the Devil. He just refused her one suggestion, and her revenge came instantly.

Li Xue smiled. Her intention wasn't to put anyone in a tough spot but what she cared about at the moment was just to have a call with Feng Shufen. And for that, she needed to keep others busy, so that no interruption come her way.

Once handled the things here, she quickly said, "Okay, you guys make yourself comfortable. I will come just after making a call." Saying that she walked out, but suddenly she paused in her mid-steps when she felt her phone buzzing. "Director Qi, thank you for agreeing to the breakfast but let's keep that for another time. Just wait for a while. I have called the chefs. They would be here soon to prepare the breakfast."

She said and then walked outside. The chefs have always been in the house. But since Li Xue has been the one preparing the breakfast most of the time, they would only come to the kitchen for preparing lunch and dinner or at the specific time when they would be given the call.

While on the side, Zhang Xiaotong was still in her sleep. Last night, it was quite late when she went to sleep. And as sleeping late was one of her habits, none came to wake her up early at this time.

But as the sun came clear in the sky and rose, the ringtone of her phone started getting in an ascending tune.

Zhang Xiaotong's expressions scrunched as irritation appeared on them. Her hand clutched the blanket intending to tear it down before it reached out to get her phone from the nightstand. She didn't receive the cal straight away, instead, she silenced it to return back to her sleep without even checking who was the one calling her.

But after some time, her phone rang again, bringing her almost to the edge of annoyance. Zhang Xiaotong was ready to throw the phone on the floor, but at that moment her eyes caught the flashing name on her phone screen.

Her brows got wrinkled, still annoyed. But this time she woke up to receive the call instead. "Hello! Why are you calling me this early in the morning?" She asked and her brows' wrinkles turned into a frown when heard the person talking on the other side.

"Can you slow down a bit? I can't hear a thing you are blabbering." She said and heard the girl taking a deep breath in on the other side.

And once ready, she said again, repeating her previous words with much coherency this time. "Ms. Zhang, yesterday night you were telling very right. There is something wrong with Glamour World. But you have to believe me I didn't do anything. I have been on your side from the very beginning and you have been offering me such wholesome money. I would never betray you. You have to believe me please."

The girl literally cried out and her words like that only tested the woman's patience. "Can you get to the point? I don't want to use these easy hours on your desperate cries. So, tell me straight what happened? Did Glamour World reach you?"

The girl hesitated on the other side but spoke, "Yes, Madam, they did but it's not the way in which we have thought. I don't know how things went wrong but … Believe me, it was not me. I have been …"

"I won't want to repeat my words again. Come straight to the point." Zhang Xiaotong spoke, this time her words coming through gritted teeth, showing her irritation very clear in her tone. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Ms. Zhang early in the morning, I received a court notice. Glamour World has accepted the lawsuit and wants to see us in court." The girl said and Zhang Xiaotong's expression turned cold at her words.
