Li Xue has known that big families of high society have complications of their own. But what she never knew was that one day, she would be the one getting involved in it. Nor did Feng Shufen ever allow the air of the family mess to get near her.
Now hearing it all like that, she realized – all this while how well she was protected between the wings of the man. Not just in her professional life, but also in her daily life. To her, he had become that knight of shining armor that doesn't appear at the front to save her always but always remains protecting her in shadows.
Whenever she would be in need, she could unconsciously expect him to be there. Then how could she not let him experience the same feeling with her?
Her lips tugged into a smile as giving a soft chuckle, she said in assurance, "Don't worry, Mr. Driver. This wouldn't be easy for them to do. After all, I wouldn't be the woman to stay low while facing the attacks."
Du Fan couldn't doubt that. The lady who could manage to show her talents in front of Young Master would never be simple and easy-minded. Though he has always seen the women be all kind and cheerful around them, all of them knew that those were the simple traits she carries in general, not in her deep nature.
"By the way, Mr. Driver, can I ask you who is the woman the family is trying to set Mr. Beelzebub with?" Li Xue suddenly asked. Her gaze got a bit curious looking at Du Fan, waiting to hear him reveal. Somewhere she already was sure that the man might know the identity of the woman.
Du Fan pondered for a moment. "Madam, I heard it's the daughter of the Zhang family. I am not sure of her name but she is the only daughter of her family and half of the Zhang family's legacy belongs to her."
He said and that the family title didn't sound unfamiliar to Li Xue. Just hearing it made her already guess actually which woman could it be with Zhang's title.
"Zhang Xiaotong!" She said and at her call of that name, Du Fan instantly nodded.
"Yes, Madam. It's that name. Do you know her?" He asked, tugging his brows in confusion.
Li Xue smiled. "Not too deeply. But enough to keep her name in my memories." She said before gesturing for him to finally focus only on driving.
The driver might not have understood her words, but he had well understood her gesture. So, obeying, he didn't talk more, rather just drove the lady in the direction of the palace.
While behind, for some more time, Li Xue thought about the things before finally deciding her move on it. If she had to shine, she would have to take the lead. And she had well understood how to take that lead next.

At the same time,
Yun Yuchun was working in her study room when her phone rang interrupting her concentration. Her working glasses were loosely over her nose making her look more engrossed in work. She never liked anyone's interruption during her work, very similar to Feng Shufen; but when saw the contact displayed on the screen of her phone, she couldn't complain.
Putting the pen of her hand down on the table, she leisurely picked the phone to answer it first. "Yes, Assistant Guo, what is it this time? Has she been up to something?" She asked directly getting to the point to save time. And it was not needed to make anyone clear who she was referring to as 'she' there.
As if the person on the other side of the call had always been all accustomed to her tone like that, didn't sound dumb or surprised when replied to the lady's question briefly. "Madam, since Ms. Zhen has returned last day; she didn't seem to make much of the clear move. But it's just now that I have got to hear that under the covers, she has been operating with some of the relatives internally."
The lady didn't give much of the reply to the information but just hummed in response to let him know that she was hearing him and he could continue further.
"Some of the relatives has gotten influenced with her ideas and has planned to introduce Ms. Zhang to the family soon" He paused for a moment with some hesitation but then continued to say, "They are planning to force Young Master to accept her to date and then officially make him include her in the family."
Yun Yuchun heard it well and couldn't control herself from giving a snigger. "Planning to force him? Did they really think they are capable to do so?"
"Madam … Sorry, I mean Ms. Yun …"
Before he could say anymore, the woman coldly but confidently added, "Let them have the try. I am sure it won't be an easy job for them."
"But what if they got him truly on the tough spot?"
"Assistant Guo, Shufen is my son more than of your Master's. So don't worry, no one would ever be able to force him. Neither those relatives nor the patriarch of the family." She said and, in her voice, the confidence was all clear.
But the Assistant sounded still doubtful on the other side. "But …" He was about to show his concern again but the lady paused him.
"Assistant Guo, don't forget I may not be there, but in my name, I still have internal supporters there. If ever the time of crisis appears, we would not fall weak. So don't stress out. Just keep your eyes all strict and sharp at that woman. And also …" She said taking a pause to add something more with hesitation, "Pay more attention to the health of your Master. I heard he is been in some kind of family crisis recently. It would not be nice to see him dying without seeing the real faces of the people around him."
She said before disconnecting the call.
Right at the moment, a knock at the door came to inform her. "Ms. Yana, everything is arranged. The meeting is in one and a half hour. We can leave now".
The lady nodded, then pushing the chair a little back she stood up to leave.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
