Precious goddaughter!
The title itself was enough to let the people know the identity of Li Xue all well. The Queen has herself called her as her goddaughter, that too a precious one.
Li Xue was also taken aback. Her eyes went to blankly stare at the lady who has the power to rule the country, both with her charms and monarchical title. When did she become her goddaughter? Her life was simply becoming full of fortunate unexpectedness.
Confusion about the things wrinkled her brows but everything felt getting calm when got the blink of warm assurance from the woman. She felt some special bonding getting created between them but then again, she was not sure what was that all about.
The manager almost stumbled at his footing when heard those words. Drops of sweats beaded over his forehead as he took out his handkerchief to wipe them off quickly with some panic in his movements. All this time, he was looking down on the lady who has been precious to the Queen and he even dared to call the police against her. Was he planning to ruin himself single-handedly?
"Your Highness, I – I am really sorry. I never knew that the lady had been …"
"You … What are you fearing for, Mr Chu? This is just a fake display of affection that they are doing here. There is no way I can accept that this petty girl could have any such importance to our country's royal family and even if she had, that doesn't mean that she could go out and kill people. Look at my daughter's neck, I am sure it must already be red and swollen".
Liu Hua furiously said. All this time, no one has witnessed how her face was darkening in the presence of the Queen. Though she has never met the lady in person rather has only seen her on the news and talks, she has always had long unsettled calculations with her. Now seeing Li Xue standing beside her, she was only feeling her nerves clenching in rage.
How could this girl even stand beside the people who did wrong to her mother? She was really a shameless unfilial daughter.
At this moment, Liu Hua so wanted to go and thrash her daughter with tight slaps but seeing the other woman around, she could only restrain herself. Since the lady was still all unknown to the past stories, she better takes the safe side and not push herself into perish. Or else she would be the one to regret it later.
"And as far as I have heard about the gracefulness and righteousness of our Royal Queen, I am sure in no way, she would support the wrong. After all, isn't the justice of royalty always to support the victim by punishing the felon", Liu Hua added on, hugging Wen Sying closed to her side.
Even though she knew that her shameless daughter had got acquainted with the royal family, she would never accept that her relationship would be so good to make the Queen do something out of her image. But all assumptions were all proven wrong when she saw a sear smile play on the cold expression of the lady.
"You are quite right, Ms. …" Chen Rui started but then paused as if she has forgotten something in her words but then giving a small smile of nonchalance, she continued, "Sorry I don't know you enough to even get your name. But nevermind, knowing your name will bring me nothing. Here, what I was saying was that you are right. I am a Royal Queen who would always prefer justice. But I am also a mother. I would never stake my daughter's name just hearing some false accusations against her". Chen Rui said all affluently, without batting any eye of hesitation to her words.
Where the world had always cared about maintaining their right name and reputation, she has long grown all bored with it. Being a Queen from the Royal family, she has thousands of people on her beck and call, so power and name in the society no longer charm her. The only thing that has kept her attracted to worldly goods has always been kindness, honesty and rightfulness.
Soon soft whispers got in the air. Everyone commenting their thoughts on the matter. This time they were not reckless to take one as the offender this easy. Especially when they have heard their respectable Queen call the woman with the address of daughter this time.
Wen Sying was all stunned. Her eyes were simply not accepting the things she was looking at. Though she knew that in the past Li Xue has been quite an influential one in her job, she never knew that she has any relations with the royal family.
Was this relationship established after her return to the city? If yes, then how? Wasn't Li Xue's character already too much tainted to make people hate and contempt her to their core?
Hearing the Queen's words, Liu Hua's face instantly fell. "Who said my accusations are false? This girl has …"
Before she could complete her words, her words were snapped cut with Chen Rui's stern, authoritative voice, "Manager, you are really too inefficient for your job profile. Didn't I already ask for evidence that makes you claim her as a culprit? Where is it?"
The man was instantly troubled. Earlier, he has clearly played biased, siding with the mother-daughter duo. What evidence he would bring to present when there was none?
"Your Highness, there is no physical evidence. I have just accepted the fact Ms Wen's mother has presented. Since Ms Wen has been very reputable in society, it's …" He said, regretting all his actions.
"Huh? Really? There are also facts that could prove one as an offender? I never knew that. Okay, let me hear such great facts too. Which of her words made you go that way?", Chen Rui said, clearly getting all irked with the unprofessional attitude of the manager.
"Your Highness, that … that … Ms Wen's mother said that this lady had been with Ms Wen in the washroom when she was harassed. She said …"
"Those are not called facts but the accusations. Don't you know such a simple difference between the two?" the lady rebuked in a harsh tone that made the man shut the mouth in an instant. "Or has your job been too tough for you to handle properly? If that's the case, I could help you with it" The Queen said and the man was already on his knees to ask for forgiveness.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't do my job well. Please don't remove me from my job position. It has been really tough for me to get the job and …"
Chen Rui plainly smiled at his words. She shook her head first but then said meaningfully, "Don't worry. Though our family also has a say in the administration of the mall, my words will not be needed here. Because the orders would already be on the way itself. Just wait for it to arrive."
Her words were enough to pass the shiver down the manager's spine. But before he could say anything more, the woman added on, "Now, since the things are settled, I would want you to remove all this crowd fast".
She said and soon the crowds were all dispersed. She turned to look at Li Xue and was about to start a conversation with her when suddenly she heard the woman grumble at the side. "Your Highness, you are not her mother to stand by her side like this. She is not as good as you think."
