Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Seeing the complicated expression of the aged lady, Li Xue knew what tough position she must be in. She was sure that Feng Shufen must have told her to make sure that she completes her breakfast before leaving for work.

A soft smile covered her lips imagining how cute he would have looked ordering it with a strict face. Even in his anger, he was not a person to leave his thoughtfulness for her. From which different planet was this man from? His way of loving was just too sweet!

"Madam, but master has …" When the old lady heard Li Xue denying to have breakfast, she was about to persuade her but just when she started, the doorbell of the house interrupted her. She paused in her words as a maid went forward to open the door.

Li Xue also turned around to look at the door only to find a society's security guard standing outside. Raising her brows slightly in askance she asked, "Yes? Is there anything?"

"Ms Li Xue, a lady has come to meet you. She is saying that she is your mother!" The bodyguard responded. "Since her name was not mentioned in your visiting guest's list, we cannot allow her inside. That's a protocol we are asked to follow strictly now. If you don't mind then please add her in your visiting list so that …"

Before he could complete his words, his voice was silenced. "Have I confirmed that woman to be my mother? Or are you just asking me to accept any random woman who comes here with my name to be my mother?" Li Xue's words shot out and sharpness was audible in it. Her calmness was on its edge. The morning ruin of her mood not giving any help.

Sister Margaret at the side was also taken aback for a second. This sharpness was new to her ears but was not wrong. A beautiful lady with good manners was highly appreciated by anyone but living in high society, especially with someone like the Young Master's background, that was not enough.

The path of love could get filled with roses after your lover replaces all the thorns from the way but that path that leads to a high-class family was not the same.

And that has been the concern in her heart all this time. What the old lady cared about was not Li Xue's identity as a mother rather her frail self. Seeing her collapse after encountering her family last time, she feared that this woman would not be able to take struggles of her coming life.

But seeing her today like this all her concerns were eased. Though not much was on the show, the rising sun tells a lot about the day. For the first time, she could feel that this woman was not as plain and frail as she looked. Not that she wanted to judge her but what she longed for was the wish to see the traces of essence of late Madam Feng in her.

"Ma'am, I am sorry. I didn't know that the lady was …" The guard tried to apologize, his eyes showing his fluster of confusion.

Li Xue closed her eyes shut when she realized what wrong she did in the situation. After chiding her rationality for giving in to her anger, she finally said, "Ahh … that was not your fault. Sorry for lashing out. But kindly disappoint the lady. I have no relation with her. If she still remains adamant to stay there …" She paused, not knowing how else she should treat that lady.

To help her, Sister Margaret said from the side, "Mr Guard, our Madam is running out of time. I think teaching you how to do your job is not her responsibility. If you are unable to carry out your responsibilities then I can help you by letting the society management know about it".

The bodyguard got stiffened at those words. "No, no, not at all," He said out in haste and then turning to look at Li Xue, he bowed down in apology and added, "My apologies to you Mrs Feng. I wasn't intending to take your precious time. This type of audacity will not be repeated". He said and then quickly retreated back.

Li Xue's lips curled in a smile as she turned to give a nod of gratitude to Sister Margaret and then said, "I will take my leave now, Sister Margaret. It's already time."

"But Madam …"

"Don't worry about Shufen, later I will take care of it". She said as she waved her hands and strolled out, giving a call to her driver.

But just when she was about to get into a car, a yell from a distance took her attention. "Li Xue, this is how you are going to treat your own mother? Have I taught you this?"

And that was exactly what she was expecting. Ms Liu Hua was not an easy woman to send away like that. A thick skin like her does not know the meaning of respect until and unless someone lets her revise the definition of disrespect very respectfully".

Sighing, she pulled her hand up to check the time on the watch. "The morning truly had a bad start since my luckiest star is upset with me. Seems like I really need to wrap this up fast or I will truly be late."

Knowing that ignorance of the situation was not an option to her, she gestured to the guard to let the woman in.

"You are really becoming bratty now. What did you mean when you say that you have no relation to me?" Liu Hua immediately huffed in rage when reached her.

Li Xue looked at her for quite some moment as her brows wrinkled with some confusion. Feigning all ignorance to the woman's anger, she said, "What? Did I say something wrong here, Madam Li? I am sure my words to the guard earlier were the same as what you said in the press conference 5 years back. Wasn't it?"

"You …" The aged woman's fingers lifted up in accusation. Her eyes moved to sum up Li Xue from top to bottom in disdain. Then looking in the direction of the house from where Li Xue had earlier walked out, she sprouted out her words in a venomous tone, "Did you think we did any wrong? Abandoning you at that time was the rightest thing. And today too you have not learnt any lesson. Still busy warming men's beds like the slut you are!"

Li Xue fingers clenched at her sides, making her knuckles go white. But her expression only gave a mere smile. For a good time, she didn't let out any reply. And when the woman thought she had won the spoiled debate she started, Li Xue let out a loud breath with a chuckle of mockery and said, "Madam Li has asked me if she has taught me anything. I think I found an answer for you."

She paused to stress her eyes at the woman, who never cared to fulfil any of her duty as her mother. Maintaining the smile of mockery on her face, she continued, "The only woman who has influenced me most in my life since childhood is you. So, what do you think? From where did I learn all those things for which you are honouring me today?"

The woman instantly saw red. "You bastard!" Her hand immediately lifted up to strike her hard.
