Zhang Xiaotong felt insulted but there was nothing she could do. She felt like she had brought it on herself. If she had not come here today, she might not have taken the burn. But not that she was here, she just not only had to endure the irk of her nerves but as well have to watch the continuous sweet moments of the couple in front.
She never thought that even a woman as low as Li Xue would have tricks up her sleeves. Earlier when Li Xue was reading out the compensation deed loud, it was not hard for her to tell the intention behind it. She just couldn't believe how did she had not seen her cunning side before. When she met her at the amusement park the other day, she was wrong to judge her as a simple ugly woman who has no sense of dressing out. But today after seeing her in this avatar, all her misconceptions have cleared up.
"Zhang Xiaotong, we are really sorry. We weren't able to help you earlier. But we also have not thought the gathering would turn out like this." Noticing the change in the demeanor of the girl, the relatives said to coax her well.
But Zhang Xiaotong didn't care to hear them. Instead, she kept on looking at the other table where Li Xue was sitting with other family members. That was the position that should have belonged to her but today, someone else has dared to snatch it away from her. How could she take it with ease?
The relatives noticed her ignorance and felt bad. But there was also nothing they could do about it. So they could just only turn to look at Feng Da Zhong for a plan. But now even the old leader was no longer confident about himself.
The turn of today's event was a big blow to him already and the consequences of the gathering were still waiting for him after the lunch was over. At this moment of time, what could he say when he, himself, was not sure of the things? Furthermore, there was no longer anything he could do about Li Xue in the family. Now since she was approved even by the patriarch, no one had the option to question her position.
"Da Zhong, you must say something to relieve her. Otherwise, we truly would not have any relation with Zhangs any longer." One of the member relatives said, mentioning the seriousness of the situation.
Feng Da Zhong's expression turned serious as he eyed the person before turning to look at Zhang Xiaotong to say. "Xiaotong, don't take today's event too much into the heart. I know the thing has taken an unexpected turn and your path has gotten a bit difficult but we would find a way. It's just that it would not be today. Be a bit patient." He said and on his words like that, Zhang Xiaotong turned to look at him.
"…" Though there were no words on her lips, her expression said that she was waiting for them to explain to her.
Feng Da Zhong understood her gaze and gestured her to look ahead at Feng Shufen to say, "I have not said anything that you can't believe Xiaotong. Everything that I said was exactly what everyone witnessed here. Do you think that after seeing the selfish side of that woman, Feng Shufen would be considering her in the same light? He would just need a little more enlightenment to know how bad a choice that woman is for him and the family. And then we wouldn't have to do anything. He would himself find a way to get rid of her. So, you have to be patient until that point."
He said and Zhang Xiaotong followed to look at a distance while thinking about his words. Although what the man said was right. But somewhere she still felt things weren't as simple as they looked. Otherwise even after witnessing the selfishness of the woman, why would Brother FenFen would still be willing to scoop the food onto her plate while treating her so gently.
"Xiaotong, don't think too much. We all consider you to be the most suitable for the family. We would definitely not accept her willingly. Just not give up your efforts. Later when lunch is over, take your chance to have a word with Shufen. At this point your closeness with Feng Shufen might be good, so help yourself until we find something to help you."
Feng Da Zhong said and nodding to his words, Zhang Xiaotong agreed. Of course, nobody has to tell her to hold on to Feng Shufen. Even if her last breath gets at stake, she won't be giving up on him.
While at the front table where the rest of the family was sitting and having lunch, the air was oddly silent but even that silence seemed pleasant with everyone around. Except for the giggles and talks of the little girl and Yuchen in the meanwhile, nothing too relevant was reaching anyone's ears.
While everyone was busy with their own plates, Feng Shufen was picking up Li Xue's favorite foods to put on her plate. But no matter whatever he put; she wouldn't have it instead would get something of her own.
"What happened? Did your preferences change?" Not understanding her actions, Feng Shufen asked and Li Xue just turned to squint her eyes at him.
"Did you really care about my preferences?"
Feng Shufen looked at the food and the plate and nodded. Of course, if not caring, why would he scoop all her favorites for her?
Li Xue shook her head before looking ahead to mumble in a slow voice. "Don't lie. If you really cared then you would have let me be the Devil for today. I wanted to enjoy the Devil title even for once." She said before forking her food into her mouth.
Feng Shufen frowned first at her words but then easing his expression, he said, "Who said you weren't the Devil today. Your act of acting one has been a great success. Be happy." He said and at his greetings, Li Xue pursed her lips.
"Haha … as if I would believe. Though I started well, your introduction of the compensation letter, ruined all my façade. In the end, I turned to be the pitiful woman who was receiving a bunch of properties on her divorce to live a lie well ahead."
Feng Shufen nodded. "Yes, later the show did turn like that and you carried that part well. But how is it any different? Wasn't receiving handsome alimony from rich husbands the plot that witch wives always perform?" He said and all dumbfounded with his words, Li Xue was taken aback.
Turning to eye him with weirdness, she asked in disbelief.. "Mr. Beelzebub, did you just call me a witch? Really?"
