Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Shin Tingming stared in the direction where Li Xue had disappeared. Then turning to his wife, he nonchalantly said, "She is our daughter, and she has come for the first time to ask something. Do you have the heart to reject it?"

Chen Rui shook her head and then said, "Tingming, that's not what I am saying you know. I am speaking of telling her the truth. The basics of royal rules and traditions. We don't have lawyers for our family matters since we don't usually work according to the country's law. We have our own way of solving things, in which the judicial people from the country's constitution don't get involved."

"Even though royals don't intimidate the laws set in the country. We are still the supreme power behind the curtains. Being the soon-to-be Crown Princess, she should know this," She said, and Shin Tingming turned to give her a faint, reassuring smile to her that was full of doting-ness towards Li Xue.

"Rui, you are taking too much stress. Don't worry, she would be able to grasp everything on time. And we are still there for her." He said, and Chen Rui was speechless. Was this man already ready to spoil their daughter now?

Giving a warning gaze to her husband, Chen Rui quickly said, "Tingming you better not try whatever you are planning. You already spoiled You Jun to this extent, I won't allow you to do the same with Xiao Xue. She is my daughter and I like the way she is. So, you better not try to turn her into something else, okay?"

Shin Tingming couldn't help but chuckle at her thoughts. But then raising his hands in surrender, he agreed, "I wouldn't dare to do that." He said and Chen Rui pressed her lips in pretentious annoyance. But when she found her husband's continuous stare at her, she laughed to ease the atmosphere.

After a short moment, she turned serious and asked, "So, from where are you going to arrange a lawyer for her? Do you have anyone in your contacts?"

Shin Tingming turned away to look at a distance with some thought. His gaze suddenly became unfathomable. Even though Chen Rui was curious to know what he was thinking, she waited patiently to let him complete his thoughts.

"We can't ask anyone outside. Given that Xiao Xue came to ask us for help only a day before the hearing, it might mean that outside, no lawyer must be taking her case. She must have tried her best to hire someone, only when she wasn't able to, she had come to us."

Shin Tingming said and Chen Rui frowned at his words. "Do you mean that someone is deliberately pushing her to a corner? What about FenFen? With him around, how is she being treated this way?"

Shin Tingming's expression turned dark. "I have heard that he was not in the country a few days back. Someone must have planned it deliberately at that time. And since Xiao Xue is not asking for his help this time, but for us; it must be for she wants to prove her strength to someone. No matter what it is, we would help her."

Chen Rui smiled but her smile held a mockery for someone. "If someone has challenged Xiao Xue to show her strength, let us show them that she has gotten the best backing in the country." She spoke. She wasn't unknown to the things that must be getting into question regarding Li Xue back in the Feng family. And she doubted that this might be a plan of one of the relatives.

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it." Shin Tingming reassured and Chen Rui nodded. She knew if he was assuring her, he must definitely have a way to deal with it.

On the side, after Li Xue left the palace, she was quick to make the call to Lin Xinyi.

"Sister Xinyi, it's done. Tomorrow, I will have someone to represent my stance in front of the judicial tomorrow. You don't have to worry more." She said and heard Lin Xinyi give out a breath of relief on the other side of the call. Her lips curled up as she knew that her manager must be under pressure all this while.

Lin Xinyi was truly like that. When she heard Li Xue say that she had arranged someone, she was quick to ask, "Who is the lawyer, Li Xue? Did you reveal your identity to him?"

Li Xue hummed in rejection as she spoke, "Since I said I won't be revealing my identity, Sister Xinyi, how could I go back on my word. Although I don't know the lawyer's name yet, you could believe him to be great in his work. He would definitely not let us down. You can meet him tomorrow out of the court."

She said, and it was hard for Lin Xiyi to get assured of that. The lawyers had already boycotted taking the case of Li Xue. In such a dire situation, which good lawyer would be willing to take her case? But still, to not make the girl panic, she said, "Fine, Li Xue we will wait to see how things would turn out tomorrow. If we would not be able to make it, then we would choose to pay the compensation. I will ask CEO Su to make arrangements for the compensation amount. You don't have to worry, okay?"

Li Xue didn't say more. Since she couldn't reveal things more, it was better to not make anyone grow more curious. And after all, Lin Xinyi was just thinking for her benefit. Arranging a compensation amount would not be a big deal. If she wins, the money will return to its source.

So, in the end, humming to Lin Xinyi's words, she just agreed. "Okay, Sister Xinyi, do whatever you deem fit." She said and after a few more words, she disconnected the call.

Li Xue was herself not sure which lawyer would stand up to help her tomorrow but she was sure that whoever it would be, he would be best since it would be Shin Tingming arranging for her. And believes him enough to know that he would understand the seriousness of the situation.
