Chapter 1289 Waiting to know who is her partner.　　Li Xue knocked at the door of the study before pushing it open to enter inside. She smiled seeing the man look up at her while sitting behind the desk. "You have come back early today. After seeing all that files on your office desk yesterday, I didn't think you would be coming home early for at least a week." 

She said as slowly she walked inside before coming to stop at the desk, just in front of him. Feng Shufen wrapped up the file without caring to mark the current page he was reading. Keeping it aside as if it doesn't matter, he replied, "It wasn't that tough. Those files just took a few hours and it was done." 

She said and Li Xue couldn't help but smile at his easy words. If she had not seen them herself, she would have thought that the man was telling the truth. But after clearly having the counts of the files in his office yesterday, she would never believe that those were just the work of a few hours. The man was simply making it sound like that. 

But was there something she could do? Nope. He said it was easy and if he has completed them within a few hours then she could only believe him. After all, she had long known that the capability of Mr. Beelzebub could simply not be on the same line as others. So, in the end, she smiled and nodded to him with understanding. 

"How was your day? Did everything go well?" Feng Shufen asked and Li Xue's lips curled deeper before she pulled out the chair and took the seat. 

"Everything went well. Tomorrow is the court hearing on the lawsuit and I don't think there would be a problem as I have asked Ma and Pa about the lawyer and they said one would be there tomorrow outside the court waiting for me." She said and the man nodded with a deep hum as if inside his head, he was contemplating over something. 

Li Xue's brows arched up. "Is there something you are doubtful about?" She asked and the man shook his head. 

"Nope, since he has said that, there could be no doubt." He said and Li Xue hummed to his word. There was something she felt in between his words but since he didn't open up, she didn't think to probe more. Furthermore, she also had things to talk about to him. 

After a small while, Li Xue thought well about her words before she asked, "By the way, Mr. Beelzebub, do you know that it was Yi Lan's mother who was behind sending those men after me? She was the one who hired them to assassinate me?" 

Feng Shufen stared at her. Something changed in his eyes, but his expression remained nonchalant. Nodding, he soon accepted, "Yes. I got to know about it yesterday." He said and Li Xue didn't say a word.

She just remained there as if she was waiting to hear more about it from him. But even after a moment, when he didn't say anything, she probed, "Won't you explain the matter more to me?" 

Feng Shufen nonchalantly shrugged at her as if it was nothing important. "What's there to explain? I won't let her repeat the things again and she would be doomed to the things she deserves. It's just that I am waiting for the right time." 

"Right time?" Li Xue raised her brows. "What is that about? Also, even if it's for my sake don't forget that the woman who was actually responsible is no other but Yi Lan's mother. Even though she says she doesn't care about her getting punished by you, I know she would feel the pain in her heart for sure. After all, she is her mother." 

She said but even after those words, Feng Shufen's expression didn't seem to waver; as if he had long made his decision and he would no longer be changing it on anyone's say. 

When Li Xue saw him like that, she pursed her lips and asked straightforwardly. "Won't you change your plans?" 

Feng Shufen's face turned cold when he saw Li Xue urging him like that. He has never refused her of anything but if she keeps on persuading him for this one thing, he wouldn't be able to keep her wish this time. 

"Some pains are momentarily hurtful. If Yi Lan would feel pained seeing that woman like that, then let her endure that pain for a time. Sooner or later, she would recover but if I leave that woman unharmed then we can't be sure when she would again come to harm you or anyone of us in the family. And also, you are not the only one she targeted, she has done the same with Qi Shuai and also me." 

He said and Li Xue stared at him. Her eyes showed a hint of shock. "You mean the accident in which Director Qi was arranged was also planned by her?"  She couldn't believe it. Which mother could do that after knowing her daughter loves the man dearly enough to sacrifice her life for him?

Feng Shufen's expression hardened as he nodded to accept. "Yes, it was her. Qi Shuai went to investigate the accident I got involved in, five years back. And just to stop him from doing so, she asked someone to attack him." 

Li Xue was shocked. So, she wasn't wrong to guess it before. The woman did try to hurt Shufen. Her decision changed while her expression turned also cold. "If you have known this, why are you still holding back?" 

She asked. To which Feng Shufen said, "Because this time, she wasn't alone in all this. She had a partner and I am trying to trace down who has actually helped her." 

Li Xue also paused. "You mean there is also someone else in all this?" Feng Shufen nodded. 

"Yes, to hire men like that, she needed money and money is something that she can't easily take from the family until she has reasonable things to explain." He said and Li Xue then nodded in understanding.
