Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Qi Shuai stared at the aged man on whose forehead, slowly and slowly sweat beads started appearing. His lips curled up into a smirk as knowing well, that his threats were not going to waste. Just a few more pushes would be enough to make the man agree in giving in.

"I know your son has left for Country M, and you are the one managing and looking over the things here. This small clinic is the only source to make a living of your five membered family, living in a small cottage house at a distance from him. But I am sure you would not have a tiniest idea about the condition that will deteriorate, once you will lose your life without leaving anything behind for them to live on."

He said more and at an instant the face of the aged man paled.

"Y – You are threatening me, an old man here. I will call the police and let you know". The old man threatened back, but his words only made Qi Shuai smile more in fun. His eyes, getting easy and playful.

"You want to call the police here? I think that's not a bad idea. But have you ever thought about what you are going to say to them? I mean you have to present the reason for which I am threatening you." He said taking a good pause in his words, while giving sufficient time to the man to think.  His expression and aura all at ease, not in any scary mode but his words had the charms of death at the moment.

"Not like I am some loan shark after you nor some hooligan, who has come to disrupt your life. I am just here to ask some details about the things that happened years ago with my cousin. She has been admitted to this hospital and I just need her reports so that I can present them to our family doctor to check it. I am sure if police come to know this, they would be helping me out instead of you. And also, not to forget, keeping the records of the patients for at least seven years is a required law for any medical institute in the country".

Adding more details to his words, Qi Shuai let the aged man know the coming consequences better.

At those words, the old man freaked out. His hand got clammy as he twisted it again and again in his pocket while taking out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from his face and forehead. "Mister, please don't put us in such trouble. We only have this clinic to live for and we cannot afford losing it. Don't make it miserable for us." He said, getting all frightened in his words while looking around the woods again and again.

Following his gaze, Qi Shuai also looked around suspiciously, but nothing came to his sight. Reverting his gaze back at the man, he said, "I just need to know what happened with her that year and I won't do anything to you, nor your small clinic. I don't think it will be any tough for you to let me know such a simple thing." He said, but the aged man still shook his head in denial.

Looking at his stubbornness, Qi Shua was on the edge of losing his calm. Opening his mouth, he was about to speak his last warning to the man but before he could say anything, the old man stumbled back falling on the chair, clutching the left side of the chest. His face, showing an agonizing pain.

Nurses that were busy with some work at a distance, came running to his aid while a ward boy quickly arranged a stretcher to take him inside.

Everything happened so fast that Qi Shuai could do nothing but only stay at his position, gritting his teeth. "Does that man have to have a heart attack at this moment? Another day was wasted and nothing came as the result" He sighed to himself, ready to take his phone out to call Feng Shufen up. But just in the moment, he was about to call, he felt someone standing behind him.

He turned around only to see a nurse standing there. "Mister, Mr. Ye is fine now. He has got a minor heart attack but will get well soon. If you want to meet him again, kindly visit after a week." She said, but her tone didn't sound anything simple rather held a kind of mystery behind.

Qi Shuai's brows furrowed. But before he could ask anything the nurse added on her own, clarifying it. "Currently we have given aid to our Mr. Ye. But for further better treatment we will be calling a doctor from the city. He shifted to the nearby city five years back. Mr. Ye hopes after that doctor comes here; he will get healthy enough to talk to you again." She said before turning and leaving away.

Though the words still came mysterious, putting two and two together, Qi Shuai somewhat understood the things that were efforted to deliver to him. "Quite interesting! Seems like the adventure in the history of this clinic has been quite great. Not only Shufen, but also Xiao Xue has been here". He mumbled to himself, giving some serious expression, while turning to leave the place, putting his glasses over his eyes.

On the other side, at Aurora Fashions,

Everything was working in a mess. That was not something new. Since it was the time for the new season collection release, the mess in the company was bound to come.

"Why are you all running so slow today? Hurry up! Li Xue will be here soon and it's not good to make a celebrity model wait like this. What will she think about us?" Feng Yi Lan said, encouraging everyone to speed up the processes. "I know you all are becoming lazy thinking that since she is my best friend, she will not badmouth me or our work ethics. But let me tell you even if she doesn't talk ill, if I find you guys treating her any less, I will do her job instead."

The people paused in their work when they heard her words, getting all confused. "Ma'am, you will do her job? Are you also planning to join the modelling industry?" Someone asked. It was not tough to think that way, given that Feng Yi Lan's body type was none less than a model, just a little reduction in fat will do.

But even those words were appropriate to ask, Feng Yi Lan rolled her eyes before pursing her lips and saying, "I mean in place of her I will badmouth you all. Did you get that? Now work, do stand and think so much. Modelling is not an easy job".

The people around were all speechless. Badmouth her own company and staff! No one has ever thought that to come. But at the same time seeing the woman getting so excited like this just for a model's arrival, they could also not doubt any less. This was the first time Feng Yi Lan was so active for a season release like this.
