Chapter 1158 - Not An Idiot To Think Me As A Fool.

Back in the Feng main mansion, 

Zhen Qinrou was having a hard time thinking of a solution. No matter what she thinks, she just could not find a way now to stop Feng Yi Lan. 

This girl has really been courageous to declare that in front of everyone. What was she even thinking when she announced all that? She yelled in her thoughts as reaching out a magazine she crumbled it with all force. Her memories flashed with the images of Feng Yi Lan telling everything in front of everyone. 

That day when she understood what she was planning to do, she had run to stop her but when reached the main hall, it was already late. Feng Yi Lan has said it all and she had no reason to disagree. Especially when she clearly knows how much the Old Feng admires the boy, Qi Shuai. 

"Argh … I can't let her spoil her life like that. Why can't she see that her future could be much more brighter if she agrees to go according to my plan? Why can't she even listen to me for one time?" She grumbled under her breath before losing out her control and thrashing a vase down on the floor. Her fingers fumbled in aggression when she heard the sharp sound clanking on the floor. Stepping a few steps back, she slumped on the couch as she heard footsteps running in the direction of the room.

Her hands went to hold her head before with some pain of irritation as at the door she heard a call laced with concern and politeness. "Madam, are you alright?" 

"Ah, I am alright. Just got a little dizzy. Clean the shards on the floor, please." She said, gesturing to the maid to look at the floor. 

The maid nodded. "I will do that Madam. But do you also want me to call the doctor for you?" She suggested and Zhen Qinrou frowned at her. For a moment, she had even forgotten what the maid was referring to but soon she realized and shook her head. 

"No, you don't have to. Just clean the floor and that would be all. I have the medicines and I would be alright after taking them." She said and the maid nodded, looking down at the floor.

After some time, the maid returned with a broom and swept off all the broken shards of the vase. She was about to leave again when Zhen Qinrou halted to ask her. "Did your Master come back?" 

The maid turned around to look at her and shook her head. "Nope, Madam. The butler was been informed by the Master's driver that the Master is still busy. He might return late." 

Zhen Qinrou nodded before asking her to leave first. Once received the order, the maid didn't stay for long and left at once. 

Once she was gone, the woman's fingers clenched as she went back to think about what she has been thinking about. She was in her own thoughts when suddenly at a distant table near her bed. She heard her phone ringing. She was snapped out from her train of thoughts as her gaze went to look for her phone. 

She thought to ignore the call at first but when sensed it to be continuously ringing, she stood up to get it. Her brows raised in surprise as reading the name of Zhang Qian Lan on the phone screen, she received the call to ask. Her tone did not reveal any of the turmoil she was feeling in her heart. "Mrs. Zhang, sorry but I never expected to receive the call this late at night. Was there something important that we needed to discuss?" 

She asked and heard a soft chuckle of mockery on the other side of the call. "Heh! There won't be anything important anymore that we would need to discuss, Mrs. Feng. So, save your excitements and plans for someone else." 

Zhen Qinrou's expression changed. Her brows tugged together in severity as she asked, "What do you mean?" 

She asked again. To which, Zhang Qian Lan added again with more clarity to say, "My words weren't that tough, Qinrou. Still, since you are still unable to get them, let me change words into layman's terms to explain. I mean to say from now on, we won't have anything more to discuss. So never call me again. I have other more important things to look after. After all, I am not just someone's second wife you don't have any prestigious family background or responsibilities to look after."

Those words stabbed the woman harshly, piercing her heart along with her soul. But there was nothing she could say or do about it. After all, whatever the woman said was not false. She knew it herself; then how could she retort against it. 

"Mrs. Zhang, what are you saying? I know Xiaotong was treated unfairly last time, but you have to be patient. She would get what she wants sooner or later. Because she deserves that. Just don't get impatient yet." She said and then added more, "Furthermore, every relative is on her side. What is there for her to fear?" 

Zhang Qian Lan laughed out when heard her words of desperation, "Haha … Qinrou, what do you think of me? I am sure you might not be an idiot to take me as a fool because I am definitely not." 

"Mrs. Zhang …" 

"I might not have attended the gathering but I know well whatever happened there. You don't have to create the story in front of me because it won't do any good to you." Before Zhen Qinrou could say a word, Zhan Qian Lan snapped at her. Before continuing to say more. "Although the relatives are in favor of Xiaotong, how do you not mention to say that the main heads of the family have already accepted that woman to be the wife of Shufen already? Do you think after their acceptance, anyone's consideration is even needed?"

She said and Zhen Qinrou felt her plans failing one after the other. No, no, she can't allow herself to lose again.. This was her last chance and she won't miss it.
