Chapter 840 - Why did she wait for five years?

Li Xue's eyes suddenly became like fire as her fingers lightly pressed the power buŧŧon of her phone. Then turning around she looked at the Principal. "Sorry for this trouble, ma'am. But don't worry this chaos outside will not remain for long. The moment I go out they will leave along with me and your school premises will be out of this chaos." 

She said and to her words, the Principal shook her head denying her suggestion. "That won't be good, Mrs. Feng. The reporters are outside and it might get hazardous for your …" 

"I still can't stay here for long. Since there is no clue at school I can only go around to check. My daughter is still not with me and I need to get her back." She said but something in her tone felt really relaxed like she was no longer anxious for something. Like she has already got a great hint of the things or has understood what everything was aimed at. 

The lady Principal was still not sure of the things. She has far ahead realized the mistake that has occurred on her part. She was already unable to redeem herself from one mistake when another one was ready to get added to it. But at the same time, she had no idea how to stop Li Xue. 

"Mrs. Feng, how about we wait for a while. I am sure President Feng would be on his way here. Don't be hasty in making such a decision. Media tend to get aggressive in such situations and we still are not sure what thoughts are running in their brains at the moment. They might cause you trouble." The Principal lady tried her best abilities but to her words, Li Xue just smiled before turning around to take her bag from the chair. 

"Thank you, Principal Ma'am. I will make a move now. We can't let the students and their parents suffer here. It is already time for them to leave." Li Xue said before giving a faint, weak smile before leaving. The expression on her face no longer looked anxious as before, neither she cared for the presence of the media was standing outside, waiting to charge on her. 

Seeing her leave, the principal had no other way but to only reach for her phone to dial the number hurriedly. But still, after dialing the number, the result was no different. The subscriber was still out of reach. 

When the school staff looked at the lady panicking so much over the things, he could not help but ask, "Principal Madam, isn't it alright if Mrs. Feng herself went out to handle things with the media, after all, we couldn't help her in any of this. And the people out are there for her." 

The woman shook her head giving a deep breath of anxiousness. "It's not as simple as you think. They are people who don't hold simple personalities here. The little girl we lost earlier was already precious and now sending Mrs. Feng out like this in front of the media. I dare not think of the consequences. If things don't go right, tomorrow this whole school might get abolished, and we wouldn't be able to do anything." 

Though Feng Shufen has been really liberal with them, still he was the person the principal couldn't dare to take as easy. 

While outside, as the school staff has said many media people were crowding at the gate from all sides. The final ring of the school has already rung a quite time before and the crowd of parents could easily be differentiated from those people. Some had left already while few were still waiting at the side to see what the chaos was about. 

"Was that scoop authentic? Has Li Xue really come to this school?" 

"Even though we are not sure of that, we still could not ignore this news tip. Li Xue has been one of the top searches these days. People want to know about her. Especially her life after the five-year-long gap. Wasting our time for some while here is not actually a loss if we really get a piece of news about her here. It will be again trending on the charts and we will be earning out from them. Our hard work will be paid off". 

"But why would Li Xue come to this school? Didn't her family already kick her out of the house five years back? I don't think she could be here for some kid."

"We don't know. But do you think there could be chances of the scandal being the truth? I mean yes, her company has proved her innocence in it, but if the things were really that simple, shouldn't Li Xue have taken this step before? Why did she wait for five years? Thinking of this gap, it feels a little suspicious. Like she is hiding something behind." 

"These five year gap does look suspicious and the people are curious to know about it. Let's wait to see Li Xue coming. Today, we will make sure to ask her well about it". 

The journalists discussed among themselves as they curiously waited for Li Xue, sneaking and peeking for her inside the school premises. 

Right at that moment, suddenly someone caught the glimpse of Li Xue at a distance as he alerted everyone around with excitement. "The information tip is authentic. Li Xue is here at the school and she is coming this way. Quick … camera quickly capture her picture. We cannot miss the chance." 

Hearing one yelling like that, the other people in the group also became alert. Scrambling on their feet quickly, everyone soon headed to the door to take a glimpse at her. But little did they expect what happened next. Their vision was blocked, restricting them in their position as if they were kept hostage. 

The scene became more chaotic but there was a silence of surprise in the air that instigated the waves of curiosity in the hearts of the people around. They tried their best to pry open and look at Li Xue at the front but nothing helped.
