Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 167 - When a person is blind, he should not take everyone around to be blind.

When Ryan heard Li Xue's words she became more sure of her thoughts. She cheered and patted herself inside for not losing hope and staying strong until she had truly found the reality of Li Xue. 'I knew it this woman is just like any other, who is after Shufen's money and power. It's only her luck that Shufen's sharp eyes did not look through her actions or else … But now it's okay since I am here for his help' she thought internally as her eyes became more contemptuous towards Li Xue.

"Huh! For whom are you pretending here now? See carefully, Shufen is not around. Your pretence would go waste. Don't talk too big, I know your reality better than you", Ryan said, getting a little excited, thinking that finally, she has got a chance to let the woman know her real place.

Qi Shuai, who was also sitting at the side did not bother to interrupt anymore. Seeing Li Xue getting in her fierce form, he was already too stumped to say anything. So he has only decided to sit in the audience to cheer the play. Taking the chalice, he leaned back on the chair, waiting for his time of death to arrive.

Li Xue could not control rolling her eyes at Ryan's words. The anger in her eyes has more become mockery towards the lady, who thinks this whole world runs as per her assumptions and conclusions. Curling her thin pair of lips into a curl of ridicule, she eyed Ryan lightly and said, "When a person is blind, he should not take everyone around to be blind as well. It's his bad that he has not been given the chance to see the light".

"What do you mean?" Ryan was too involved in her own land of ideas to understand the meaning behind Li Xue's words.

At her question, the woman's smile deepened more. "Ms Kim, do you really think that the whole world is the same as you? Good at pretending something they are not to get people's attention. Sorry if you think like that because you have created a great misconception in your head. Sometimes, a person's own simple attitude is enough to allure people around. Pretence does not work all time. It gets revealed sooner or later, same like yours did".

She said and smirked. Without any doubt, she was getting an upper hand in the conversation. Looking at her like this, Qi Shuai's eyes glittered with admiration. Was this the well-known charismatic sharpness for which this woman was once known in the fashion industry?

When he researched Li Xue a few days ago, he came to know several things about her. She was not only known for her beauty in the past but was all famous for being the personality with a sharp tongue, never caring for offending someone for their bad.

"You … are you saying that I hold up the pretence of elegance in front of everyone. How dare you?" Ryan blasted with her words, getting agitated and hyper with Li Xue's allegations.

"I never said that. Why do you think that I would say something like that to you?" Li Xue simply shrugged her shoulders back in nonchalance, feigning all innocence.

At the side, Qi Shuai shivered to look at her in such form. This woman was not simple. It was his bad that he has judged the book by its cover. Right now the Li Xue, he was witnessing in front of his eyes was not timid and meek like a fawn, he knew. But was holding the cunningness of a fox and fierceness of a tigress in her eyes. She looked more like a blazing fire phoenix in the air full of fierceness and new energy.

'The little princess must have got her attitude and confidence from her. O Lord, thank you for letting me see the truth. From now on, not only from the cold Devil, I need to save myself from this woman too. Momma, she is no less than the Devil' The man said inside as he took a hurried sip from his goblet.

"Li Xue, you are crossing your line?" Ryan yelled, veiling her weaknesses. But it was too bad for her as Li Xue has already seen through it.

"Did I? I thought it was you who have crossed your line moments before", The woman said nonchalantly, folding her arms over her chest while pushing herself a little back on her chair, presenting all her real attitude full-fledged.

"Shuai did you see this? Didn't I say that this woman is just pretending to be nice and good in front of Shufen? Now, do you believe me? See, how arrogant she is behaving in front of us? It must be because she has become too confident in using Shufen's power. Li Xue let me tell you, you can't fool us like this. I have seen you really well. Using your daughter to get near a man, do you have any morality left in you. How hideous! What are you doing all this for? Just for some wealth and power", Ryan said all in one go, but then suddenly she paused.

Her eyes turned a little desperate and got filled with disgust. She was trying her best to hide the desperation but showed no efforts in covering up her disgust. She wanted to let Li Xue know how disgusted she was seeing her existence.

"Li Xue I have an offer for you. It will really be a great deal if you agree and will also save your life. I can give you 50 million, take it and go away far from us. That amount will be more than enough for you and your daughter. And if that sounds you less than I will give you the privilege of calling me anytime and the money will get wired in your bank account within the span of only 15 minutes. This deal is really profitable for you. You will not lose anything in it" Ryan continued, thinking with her best mind.

If Li Xue is gone with this money, Feng Shufen will never look at her again and will ultimately become only hers. Though the cost was too high if losing that amount can reward her Feng Shufen as a prize then this was definitely not a bad deal to sign. She smiled at her own assumed accomplishment, already starting to revive the dreamland she has built with Feng Shufen all these years.
