Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

On the other hand, in the Zhang household, with every passing day, the situation was also getting worse. Nothing seemed to be getting under control. Not just the company but even the house was becoming a mess.

After having a tough day at work, Zhang Jian Guo had just arrived home in a foul mood again. Since there were no longer many servants at the home, Zhang Qian Lan has herself come to welcome him back.

But just when she could coax him to not lose his hope yet, the couple was stiffened hearing several footsteps rushing inside the mansion.

"What is happening, Jian Guo? Who are they and what are they doing at our place?" Zhang Qian Lan was the first to panic seeing the armed men coming inside the house like that. Hiding behind her husband, she was all scared.

Zhang Jian Guo also had no inkling of the things. Shaking his head at his wife, he was about to step forward to ask one of the men about their intentions when their eyes caught the face of Feng Shufen entering the house after. With him, there was also his friend and secretary.

His face that was earlier laced with confusion at once turned all arrogant as he asked in a piqued voice. "What is the meaning of all this, Shufen? Are you here to kill us now? What are you even planning on coming with so many men?"

Feng Shufen's expression looked dangerous. At first, the old Zhang didn't notice but when he saw him come closer, he realized something was off. Before he could say or ask more, Qi Shuai grunted instead, "Mr. Zhang, it would be better if you keep both your words and arrogance in check. Otherwise today after what had happened, we are not in a mood to restrain our men. If even one of their guns left a shot at your family, we won't even be sorry for it."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Jian Guo frowned and at that moment, Gao Fan spoke in a stoic tone.

"Chairman Zhang, we are here to take Ms. Zhang with us. Call her out."

"You … How audacious of you to speak like that. Xiaotong is Zhang Family's daughter. How dare you speak about her like that." Zhang Jian Guo fumed. But before he could say more, a shot was fired past him, making the rest of the words stuck deep down his throat.

While his expression paled, he turned to look behind him only to find his wife lying on the ground unconscious. While her arm was bleeding out profusely.

"Shufen, are you crazy? You actually shot her? What do you want?" Not understanding what was happening, Zhang Jian Guo yelled before crouching down to check on his wife. She was still alive and had just passed out from the shock. He reached out to sprinkle some water on her face and soon she was back to consciousness.

"Jian Guo, ah … ah, it's hurting a lot. What is happening?" Zhang Qian Lan winced in pain. She was still terrified of Shufen so she avoided looking at him.

"It's okay. Hold on for some time. I will take you to the hospital." Zhang Jian Guo said as he supported his wife's body to bring it on the sofa and then turned back to look at Feng Shufen, who stood there with a gun in his hand. His expression held not a percent of guilt. "Shufen, this …"

"If you f*cking don't want to see your whole family's existence getting wiped off in one stroke, tell us - Where . Is . Your . Daughter?" Getting impatient, Feng Shufen asked with gritted teeth.

And be it its tone or his dark eyes, it scared the hell out of the old man. Not able to hold his attitude for longer, he shook his head, "I don't know. I just arrived home. But why are you looking for her?"

Feng Shufen didn't answer him. Instead, he darted his eyes to look at the woman on the sofa. "Where is she?"

Zhang Qian Lan shook her head as well. "I-I don't know. She is not with him. I thought she had gone to help her father at work but since he said he has not seen her then I don't know."

While Feng Shufen's expressions turned more solemn, behind him, Qi Shuai couldn't help a chuckle. Looking like the two oldies, he mocked, "She is both of your daughters, yet you don't know where is she and what she is up to. You better pray that she gets to know her place before we find her. Otherwise, none would be able to see what torturous death she will have." He said his words like that dumbfounded both Zhang Jian Guo and Zhang Qian Lan.

"W-What are you saying? What has she done now?"

Feng Shufen didn't stay to answer them while Qi Shuai also followed him out. Seeing Gao Fan was also about to leave, Zhang Jian Guo held him to ask, "Secretary Gao, what did Xiaotong do? At least tell us. Being her parents, we have to be prepared for it." Although Zhang Jian Guo was arrogant at first, he knew his place well. Seeing the frostiness and anger in the eyes of Feng Shufen, he could tell that the bloodshed was near and since he had come looking for Zhang Xiaoting like this, it must be related to her.

"Then prepare yourself for the worst, Chairman Zhang. Because nothing less than that would be coming. Your daughter has dared to put her hands on the future matriarch and heir of the Feng family. Now there would be no redemption for her." Gao Fan said and then without batting an eye at the condition of the oldies, he left gesturing all the men to follow out too.

Behind Zhang Jian Guo could only slump down on his knees. They were finished. Completely finished.

"Jian Guo, what did he say? Shufen can't do this. Xiaotong is our only child. Go and save her. Beg Shufen to let her go. Save her Jian Guo. Please save her." Zhang Qian Lan couldn't control herself from wailing out loud. Even though they have been upset with her recently, she still can't let her die like that.

While back at the warehouse, Li Xue noticed the abnormality in both the attitude and tone of Zhang Xiaotong. So, ignoring her words, she instead looked at her daughter to say, "Sweetie, Daddy Angel will come to take us soon. When he comes, you will go with him. But until then will you listen to me?"

Little WeiWei blinked her eyes at her mother. "But Mama, WeiWei has always been a good girl to listen to your words. When did I not listen to you?"

Li Xue smiled at her and then shook her head. "Of course, sweetie, you have been the good girl to listen to Mama. But today is different. Mama wants you to listen to her without asking anything back. Will you?"

WeiWei nodded innocently. Since her mother has asked her to not ask anything back, she has pressed her lips sealed from then on itself.

When Li Xue looked at her like that, she wanted to kiss her to her heart's content. But she knew she didn't have the time. With Zhang Xiaotong as a threat like that, she needed to keep WeiWei at a safe distance first.

"WeiWei, listen to Mama carefully. No matter what happens now, you have to keep your eyes and ears closed until you hear me call you again, okay?" She asked and always being an obedient child to her mother, Weiwei nodded.

Shutting eyes was easy and anyone could do it, but closing the ears to the sounds and voices from around was tough. But Li Xue knew her daughter was capable of doing that. As long as her little one puts her concentration on one thing, she won't pay attention to anything else around. She had the capability to block her sense of hearing easily.

When Li Xue saw her nod, she smiled and leaned to kiss her cheek gently and then said, "You are my good girl. Now, go and sit there. Mama will get you soon."

On her Mama's say like that, WeiWei didn't question her and went back to the chair on which she was brought earlier. Sitting, she looked at her mother once more. Seeing her smile, she closed her eyes and, in her head, she started counting the numbers.

When Li Xue made sure that her daughter had followed her words, and was no longer looking or listening to her, she turned to look at Zhang Xiaotong once again. Her demeanor once again turned as cold as it was before.

"Ms. Zhang I may not know what is waiting for me, but I know well what is waiting for you." She said before moving her brows towards the little girl to say, "She is not just my bottom line but also Shufen's. Do you think we will let you off that easily?
