Chapter 319 - Their friendship must be great!
"Darling, I am really happy that you are still so soft and tender to that pretty girl. Finally, she is here. You know I was so worried when 5 years ago, she left. Even her parents were so heartless to abandon her like that. But since she is here and you and Wenting have decided to help her, I am contented", Madame Zheng said, clasping her hands with happiness.
She has always liked Li Xue from her heart. Knowing that his son was going to marry her in the future, she was really satisfied in the past. In her eyes, Li Xue has everything a woman should have in her personality. Be it her confidence to stand alone, the sharpness of tongue to speak the truth or the nobility of her aura.
Five years ago when that news broke, she was the first one to defend Li Xue in front of her son and husband but none paid any heed to her words. She has known that a girl like Li Xue would never have such low integrity, after all, she was not like that Wen Sying.
Zheng Haozhen nodded to his wife's words but there was a different shine in the old man's eyes that was indicating towards another deep purpose that he has kept all hidden from people's eyes. "How can I not help her? There was once a time I was really impressed with her. Furthermore, in comparison to that woman with whom your son is playing around, she will be a much better choice even if she was involved in that scandal years ago".
The woman could not believe her ears. Though what her husband said was not wrong, some of his words were still out of his character. "Yes, yes, I have always liked that girl too. She is perfect for Wenting and they were so good together before. Only if she could accept to return back to his life once again."
"Return back to your son's life? Only if your son could have some brain to differentiate between an ordinary glass crystal and a priceless diamond. But let's not discuss that right now. I have already got information about her working space. Later someday, we will visit her. Now it???s already late, I would go and sleep".
The old man said, standing up from his comfortable plush seat to make his way to his bedroom but was suddenly paused in his steps when heard his wife ask, "Why suddenly? Do you have any different purpose in your mind?"
"What absurd are you thinking? What can be there? I am only doing this for her well-being. And didn't you know that I have always wanted to help her like this in the past too? But that girl really had high principles to accept my help". Zheng Haozhen simply replied, making his words flow easily on his tongue like that was the only truth in the picture.
But the reality was something different, that he was hiding behind his amiable smile.

The next day, after getting WeiWei to school, Feng Shufen dropped Li Xue at Sweet Delicacy and then made his way to Feng Internationals.
Though Li Xue wanted to visit Yi Lan, her work was keeping her put to her schedule. So she has decided to only go and visit her on the weekend. Furthermore, earlier Shufen had informed her that to take care of Yi Lan, Director Qi was staying with her and working from her place.
She was not the person to entrust her friend to Qi Shuai after knowing what he did to her in the past. But she has definitely started to trust the words and insights of her Mr Beelzebub.
Since he has said that Director Qi Shuai's presence could be trusted around Feng Yi Lan then she would believe him.
As she thought she made her way towards the shop. But suddenly an expression of surprise surfaced on her face when saw the crowded scene at the place.
People have jammed the entrance like there was some celeb show going on inside for which they wanted a ticket to enter. Something like this happening to a classy place like Sweet Delicacy was something out of the question, unless and until this was done all purposefully and meaningfully with some plan.
But who was there? She wanted to ignore this but she does not have any other way. The way inside to the Chef area from behind the building was blocked for some construction while the other spare entrance to the place could only be led after crossing the main entrance. And seeing the crowd at the front, she doubts any other spare entrance will be left alone.
"Ufff …" She sighed as she pulled out her phone. Connecting a number, she was about to ask when suddenly a squealing voice came to greet her first. "Li Xue! Li Xue! O my God! Why are you still not here? Come fast, com fast! You don't know who is here"
Li Xue shook her head at her level of excitement. If she had really known, why would she call her to ask? This girl would never change!
"Mia, I am already out of the building. The entrance is all blocked. So I have called to ask you the reasons behind such chaos." Li Xue said, almost suppressing a chuckle inside.
"Oh oohh! Sorry sorry, I almost forgot to tell you. Today in our Sweet Delicacy a fashion model has come. And all the crowds outside are her admirers and fans. She said that she is here to meet her friend and is waiting for her to come" she informed and Li Xue's thoughts halted at her words. But she did not say anything, just remained silent to let the girl finish her words.
"Li Xue, I, so, wonder, how lucky that friend would be that she could make the supermodel of the industry Wen Sying wait like that. Their friendship must be so great, right?"
Li Xue's fists balled up at her sides and face turned stiff.
