Chapter 655 - Favor Li Xue over Shufen.

The next morning, in Feng Household Main Mansion, 

"Hello Xiaotong! Aunt is really happy to see you call her this early in the morning. How are you doing these days," Zhen Qinrou chimed in happiness as she descended down the stairs in the living hall with her phone on her ears. 

Feng Yu Hao was calmly sitting there on one of the sofas, reading his newspaper with his cup of tea served at the side. When heard his wife's voice drawing closer, he did not react nor did he lift his gaze to look up to her. He just continued to finish the news report on the paper. His eyes, halting at the headlines mentioning Li Xue, showing slight hints of positiveness to it. 

"Oh, you are so nice, Xiaotong. I must say your parents have raised you well. We are so proud to see you so filial to the elders," Zhen Qinrou said while taking a seat right beside her husband. Her expressions, showing the smugness to him even though he was not glancing at her.

"Are you keeping Shufen in touch? You two should always keep each other in touch, only that way your relationship will always remain …" She started her words again but her words seemed interrupted by the person on the other side. She paused as she awkwardly listened to the words from the girl on the call. 

After hearing for some time, she finally said in a doubtful tone, "How can that be, dear? Definitely, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Shufen has always been so acceptable and nice to you. There could be in no way he could do something that could hurt your feelings. Don't think too much. I will ask him for you." 

She said before smiling and putting down the call. Once the call was disconnected, she turned to look at her husband, putting the complaint forward. "Do you know what that girl has done on our Shufen's behalf?" 

"What's there?" Feng Yu Hao asked, nonchalantly looking up in confusion. He has been very minutely reading the news about Li Xue in the newspapers and was impressed to read her quoted words from the last day. As he has expected, his son has not chosen a girl for only her looks but there were also more capable attributes to her personality.

"That girl has dared to send back the gifts Xiaotong has sent to Shufen. Do you think that's acceptable?" She asked. The things that had happened between them were not sorted but they were still on the talking terms at home. Zhen Qinrou was just pretending to be the mother whose only concern was his son, and about whom she won't listen to anyone's advice. 

The old man folded the paper back, taking his time to keep it aside and then lifted up his cup of tea. "Did Xiaotong say that it was that girl who sent back her gifts?" He leisurely asked, leaving his wife dumb with her words. 

"Of course not! How can she do that using her name? If she does that wouldn't it make her look too overbearing? She has done that using Shufen's name to make Xiaotong resent him for breaking her heart." Zhen Qinrou said, getting all confident in her thoughts and words. 

But to her words, Feng Yu Hao only shook his head, showing his denial. "Not only are you making the things too big, you are also making it look like Shufen has not got eyes and ears. If something like that would have happened, definitely, he was one to know this first". 

The woman was at once offended at his words. But there was no way she could show it. So, keeping her anger suppressed, she asked with some disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, staring at the newspaper which the man had kept aside moments before. "Yu Hao, are you favoring that girl over our Shufen now? Why would Shufen break Xiaotong's heart and return her gift. He had never done that in the past years."

"RuoRuo, can you not start the same things again. It's not me favoring someone rather you being nonsensical. Past could never count in the present. I already said that in regards to that girl in Shufen's life, I could never agree but that never would mean I would disregard Shufen's words and decision. He will be becoming the Head of Feng family tomorrow and everyone should know to trust and support the head of the family's decision."

Feng Yu Hao at once cut short Zhen Qinrou's words, before getting up to leave. 

"Yu Hao, you could also not disregard the correct choice for Shufen. Zhang Xiaotong has always been the most favorable of all and the Zhang Family could …"

Behind him, Zhen Qinrou could only clench her fist and grit her teeth. The more she was trying hard to manage the things, the more she was feeling like the things were getting into a mess. "Ahhhh … Li Xue, I will not let you become another Yuchun in my life. I will not let you win the things for which I have worked hard for the whole of my life". She snapped to herself, banging her hands on the cushioned seat of the sofa.

Outside, getting to his car, Feng Yu Hao ordered his driver to start the drive first and soon his car was out of residence. 

"Master, where should I drive to?" After a few minutes, the driver asked, feeling all puzzled about the destination. 

"Drive to Cygnus International School straight." He commanded before once again turning to look out of the window. It has been days since he has thought to take the visit to the school. The little one he met there was not that easy to forget. Her adorableness had the charms that remained imprinted in his heart while the wits had the captivity that kept her still in his thoughts.
