Chapter 1260 Wasted your youth in becoming something you were not.
After WeiWei boasted about her preparations, she waited to hear her Daddy Angel's reply while blinking her starry eyes.
One glance at her petite face and now even Feng Shufen understood what the girl wanted from him. So, curling up his lips, he nodded, "We would come to cheer you." He said, and the moment his agreement left his lips, Li Wei jumped in excitement, still being in his arms.
"Yay! Daddy Angel and Mama, both will be coming for WeiWei." Although the little girl was sure that her parents would be coming to see her if she asked them, she was not sure if her Daddy Angel would have been able to make it since he was out of the country. But now that he had agreed to come, she was more than happy.
Li Xue smiled when she saw her baby happy. But then her eyes caught sight of the clock on the wall and her brows quirked at the time. "Aye, I didn't even notice that it was already this late. Come on, sweetie, let your Daddy Angel go and freshen himself. It's almost time for dinner, I will go and check the things with Sister Margaret and the chefs."
She said, and nodding with understanding, WeiWei agreed with her mother. Then seeing Li Xue walk away, the little head turned to look back at her Daddy Angel. "Daddy Angel, are you tired tonight?" she asked.
Feng Shufen stared at her for a moment, before shaking his head in denial. To which, the little girl once again grew excited. Clapping her hands, she spoke with full enthusiasm. "That's great. Then Daddy Angel, will you read me a bedtime story today. There has been a paragraph I have been stuck on for days."
"Okay, after we finish dinner, I will read you the bedtime story." He said and WeiWei smiled. Then getting down from his arms, she allowed him to go up to freshen up first.
While at the same time, Li Xue went to have a small chat with the chefs and Sister Margaret. Once done, she requested them to set the dining table while she walked back to get fresh as well. But just when she was ascending upstairs, she remembered something.
Changing her direction of walking, instead of going to the bedroom, she walked to the study first. Reaching the desk, she opened the computer to log into her personal space before proceeding to check the mail. And just as she had known, there was new mail in her box.
Her eyes turned sharp as she checked the information in detail. Suddenly her lips curled up on one side while a dark glint appeared deep in her ambers. "So, I was not wrong to guess it before. It's no other but Ms. Zhang behind all this." She spoke slowly to herself before scrolling down the call records of the woman slowly and steadily. "I must say, she has got the childish brain to plot so sleazily. But even sleazy, since she dared to challenge me, I won't hold back to confront her as well".
As she said that, she closed the computer before getting up to stand and dialed a number on her phone.

While at the same time on the other side of the city, Zhang Xiaotong walked inside the same dim-lit room where she kept Lillian hostage.
"How dare she? Did you know Lillian what that b*tch did today?" She complained aggressively while walking to and fro in the room. "She insulted me in front of everyone and pretended to be the damsel in distress. As if I was the one who is making it tough for her, I couldn't understand how fake she could be?"
"And heh, people there believed her. Do you know they believed that she was the right person to stand beside Brother FenFen? How ridiculous! Did they even know what the right match means? It means me. I am the one who deserves to stand beside him. I have made myself eligible to stand beside him. What did that woman Li Xue do to deserve him?"
As she rambled on, venting out her exasperation, Lillian just sat still, moving her eyes with her every moment. Unlike before, this time her expression looked a lot more composed as if she had accepted her fate already.
When Zhang Xiaotong felt Lillian simply sitting and responding to her talks, she frowned before turning to look her way. "What? You won't speak now. Did the cat get your tongue?" She suppressed a yell.
And seeing her losing control like that, Lillian couldn't help but chuckle. For the first time, her chuckle sounded like a mockery in the ears of Zhang Xiaotong.
"What do you mean by that laughter, Lillian? Are you making fun of me now?" She asked, her voice coming out in a dreadful warning.
But even her warning like that today wasn't able to shush the woman. She laughed with the full intent of making fun of the crazy woman who stood in front of her. And only when she was satisfied, she said, "Do you really want me to speak Xiaotong? Like really?"
Zhang Xiaotong's fist got clenched, almost digging her fingernails in her skin, she said in a dark tone, "Wha do you mean, Lillian? If I wouldn't have wanted you to speak then why would i have asked you to speak in the first place?"
Lilian nodded, "You are right, you asked me to speak. Fine, then I will tell you what I feel. Since you must have already gotten a secretary for yourself by now, I already consider myself dismissed from the job. And now that I am dismissed from my job, I am no longer your secretary but a friend, who can tell you exactly what they feel in their heart."
As she put up the words like that, Zhang Xiaotong felt her anger only shooting up. This was the first time Lillian, her secretary, dared to speak in that tone with her.
"Lillian, you …" Before she could even get to warn her to look up at her tone, Lillian spoke, interrupting her warning.
"Xiaotong, what I feel in the heart is that you wasted your youth in becoming something that you shouldn't have even tried. Because where you tried to make yourself deserving of President Feng, Li Xue has born with that. She never needed to make herself something, rather being just herself was enough for her to attract President Feng."
