Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"But don't you feel forty million is a greater temptation which no one could forsake?" Li Xue added slowly, making her eye contact with each and everyone in the crowd. Her words, leaving everyone confused.

But there was someone among them who perfectly understood the warning that the woman had let out publicly.

Fu Guang felt himself tremble at the warning. Forty million! Won't that mark his end? Not only in the industry but also in the society he lived in? The thought itself was scary for him to think.

His face grew pale as his gaze meaningfully wandered to look at the woman at the mike, only to find her side glance fixed at himself. His spine went rigid under her eyes. Though nothing was dreading in her gaze, he still could not help the feeling of fear he was feeling in his heart.

"Ms Li Xue does that mean you will be searching for the people who have conspired against you, five years back". Someone again asked from the front and Li Xue on the stage turned all her attention to him.

She did not say anything abruptly, rather her expressions looked a little paused as if she was contemplating the way she wasted to explain her words from before. With her expression of contemplation, the crowd also held their breaths waiting for her reply. But just when they thought that they would be getting one, Li Xue pressed her lips slightly together before saying.

"Umm … I don't think it would be good for me to spam all the headlines of tomorrow. Let's leave a few questions for the other day. We would meet soon again" she said in a punning tone, before bowing a little to greet everyone politely.

The media reporters and other magazine writers also did not probe the things, knowing all too well that soon Glamour World would also be putting on a conference to officially introduce the woman as their model. They could wait for that. But then, even with that, it didn't mark an end to their news reports, instead … Many eyes went to stare at the slender, lean man in a formal outfit.

"Ms Li Xue, if you don't mind can we have a few questions with your lawyer, Mr Liu Fei?" The senior among all stood up to ask all politely.

Li Xue's brows got slightly raised at that request. She turned slightly to look at the lawyer standing by her side. He looked plain and simple to her at the first glance and was still holding the same cold expression as before. Then she again turned to look back at the reporter who had put forward the request. He was the same Mr He, she has referred before and seeing his curiosity for a plain lawyer beside her, she didn't feel something was right.

But she has never got a habit to take the action in any abruption, so instead of voicing her suspicion out, she plainly nodded with some hesitation. "Umm … I guess for that, you have to ask him." She said, looking doubtfully at the man on his side.

For some reason, now, after perceiving the air around, suddenly she has started noticing the different air the man was exuding all this time. Her heart suddenly thumped inside her chest, realizing the greatest fact she was deliberately ignoring all this time.

'Mr. Beelzebub, you better have not made the explanation tough for me here' She prayed to her heaven, before maintaining her expression at the situation. It was hundredfold tougher than what she has felt when she has entered the conference room before.

"Mr Liu, aren't you a lawyer with the busiest schedule in the country. How come you got time to handle Ms Li Xue's matters on such short notice? Do you know her personally?"

Li Xue heard someone ask and those words only made her gasp in horror internally. But she controlled all her expressions well to not let the things out for people to see. A lawyer with the busiest schedule in the country? Wasn't that tag enough to let her know what top-notch personality was standing beside her?

Though knowing that it was Mr Beelzebub's arrangement she was expecting it to come, still she has never in her dreams taken her assumption this seriously. Making the best lawyer stand by her side at this time … What was the man exactly thinking in his head?

Li Xue got lost in her own trance, thinking about all the things. She could hear the buzzing questions going on in the background but was nowhere left in the senses where she could understand them. So, instead of hearing their each and every word, she assumed all their queries in the context of what made the great lawyer help her.

But her expression of stupor broke the very moment she heard the lawyer answer almost eight to ten questions in just four plain words.

"It was the Boss's orders!" Lawyer Liu said.

"Boss? Who's the boss Mr Liu is referring to? Did Glamour World become that high to contact Lawyer Liu for some of their model?" Gasps filled everywhere but the lawyer paid no heed to it. Instead, he turned to the woman at his side and said.

"Ms Li Xue, the things here are all settled. The rest of the things are on me. My assistant will come here to handle it later. We can make a move now".

Li Xue nodded before moving her steps along with the man. She did not know at the current scenario if she should laugh or cry. Behind them, she could clearly feel there was almost every eye staring at them with heavy surprise but she could not help it any longer. Though for sure she knew that tomorrow she would be in many stories. But now she herself was curious to check what those stories will be all about.

***

Outside, Li Xue paused her steps. They were no longer in the eyes of the people. She turned to look at the lawyer with a soft grateful smile on her lips. "Lawyer Liu, I am really grateful that you have arrived at such short notice. With your support and all the sudden moment arrangement, we were able to deal with things this well. Otherwise, in no way things would have gone this easy. Really, thank you for your help".

Li Xue said, keeping all her previous thoughts aside. Though she might have said in a play that just any lawyer would have worked, she knew well if not with the proficiency of the Lawyer Liu, things would not have turned out this easy. After all, she has always believed Feng Shufen's thoughts. If he has decided to send such a high-end lawyer, then definitely, there might be some things that he would not be sure of in the situation.

The lawyer shook his head gently before saying, "There is nothing to thank me for, Madam. I have just executed the things that were kept prepared. Except for presenting it there was nothing that I have done to help you".

Li Xue was dumbfounded at those words. Execute the things that have already been kept prepared? Does that mean, Mr Beelzebub was already sure that things would be turning this way?
