Zhen Qinrou was at once taken aback. Her brows wrinkled in confusion as she failed to understand the words of the man.
Li Xue! That scandalous friend of Feng Yi Lan. How could she be any hindrance to her? Wasn't she just a low scandal?
Pan Hong smiled as he looked at the woman's scrunched brows. "What are you looking at me like that, RuoRuo? Are you even oblivious to this?" he mocked purposefully instigating the woman more for her worse. "Haha … don't worry. For this, I won't blame your oblivion. Even if you would have been all focused on the things, you still would not have known about all this because your stepson is the best smartest one out there".
"Pan Hong, have your word dictionary lost all straightforward words now, that you are not able to get anything better?" The woman said, frowning at his approach of presenting the things. She knew that he was purposefully doing it so that she could feel the insult but she didn't mind those words because she knew, those insults were just a show that the man was creating to let her know how ruthless he could get with her.
"It's not me talking in incomprehensible words, rather it's been you who has lost all your brains because of the boring life with that old hag, Yu Hao, who has yet not accepted you as his wife." The man teased more, enough to make the woman blast.
Zhen Qinrou yelled getting at the edge of the patience that she was holding all this while "Pan Hong!"
"Whoa!! I never thought that tearing you away from your patience was this easy. Sigh, I was living in a great misunderstanding. I should have tried this with you before, then definitely I would not have thought you that great. You are quite an easy one, I can say that now" He said, shaking his head in the pretence of disappointment. He wanted to mock her, bringing her to the edge of her patience and seeing her there, he was already satisfied.
Shaking his head to himself, he finally let go of the topic as he came back to the important focus point. "Anyway. Let's not discuss that. I just want to give you some healthy advice. Instead of worrying about the dead, you should think of focusing on the ones that are alive. Your stepson has already found the woman he loves, and in her love, he has already offered the privileges that even after these years you have not heard of. So, think it yourself, who feels more dangerous to you? The one whose existence traces are not found or the one who would rapidly end your reign before even you can start it".
Zhen Qinrou was shell shocked for a second. She could not be told any clearer. Piecing one and one together, she already understood what was all that about. No doubt she felt that the woman didn't seem a simple one. So, in the end, this was what her reality looked like. Realizing it, the whole room was suddenly filled with her hysterical laughter that only made the man sitting at the front feel out of wits.
"What are you looking at me like that? Do you feel I have gone insane?" she asked, feeling the gaze of the man on herself. "It's not me who has gone insane here. It's more like your brain is what has become senile with the growing years. How do you even think that scandalous woman would even become a hindrance to me in the family? Her whole life is misdeed. Do you think just by trying on some privileges, she could find a way to enter the Feng family?"
"My Yi Lan has the blood of Fengs, yet I have not gotten the rightful place in that Household because I was having her before the wedlock. Then how does she even think that she would get accepted with a child that's not even come with the bloodline of the Fengs? Haha … that's impossible and in no way, it would be acceptable. Even Yu Hao, who has always been supportive of his son, would not accept it" Zhen Qinrou added more, feeling the sense of victory even before the war was started.
Pan Hong doesn't find the words of the woman wrong. Definitely, the rich families like Fengs were too peculiar of their bloodlines. They would never accept something foreign in the family but then again, there was a doubt. Will their thoughts even be capable to budge the decisions of the future potential administrator of the family, Feng Shufen?
He was lost in his own contemplation when the woman already stood up from her chair to leave. "That will be all. Don't waste your time in useless thoughts instead work on the task I have offered you. I don't want to see that Qi Shuai around my daughter. For that even if it means that you have to wipe off his traces from this world, do it".
"RuoRuo, it is not as simple as you think. That boy is now the important one to your stepson. If any strike is made on him, Feng Shufen might take it as an audaciousness against himself. And I need not to tell you what happens to the ones who show that audaciousness against him". Pan Hong said. They were already struggling in wiping off the traces that happened to connect them to the accident in which Shufen was involved years ago. If they start another trouble, won't that make the situation more worse for them?
Zhen Qinrou, who was already on her way out paused in her tracks as she turned around with pursed lips. "Only your talk comes out big. I knew it from day one but still decided to believe in them. I hope at least for that trust I won't be disappointed. Even if it is tough, I believe you can find a way to tackle him down for me. So, do it. Plan well so that you don't get caught but if you do, then not reveal my name into all this".
She said without any strings of sentiments connected before making her way out. Pan Hong could only stand and sigh behind. Only if he could be a man to go back on his words.
