Chapter 323 - Their Friendship To End

Elizabeth decided to stay in Imperial Garden Plaza to spend some time with her family. After lunch, Feng Xiaotong left with such a heavyweight on his shoulders. For not only will he need to face the Zhao family, but he too needs to explain everything to his family as well. 

Feng Xiaotong was on his way to his father's company. His mother had called him that his father wished to speak with him. He anxiously knocked on the door and step inside the office. He saw his mother sitting on the couch with his father still working on some doc.u.ments on his desk. 

"Father, you called for me?" he said. 

"Sit!" 

Feng Xiaotong obediently followed his father's command without any question and seated next to his mother. They both waited until the man finished his work before he got up his seat and went closer to them.

"Care to explain the news I just found out?" CEO Feng said in a stern tone. 

He couldn't be bothered to make his life worse, right now, the possibility of him marrying the girl is roughly 99% (since he does not know that the girl is engaged to someone else already) so he thought it better, to be honest in front of his parents, so he can get his support. Plus, with the current situation with the Zhao, it seems they aren't that against of him marrying the girl.

"I'm engaged to the Young Princess."

"You're what? Isn't the girl you're engaged to Li Zi, the actress in your company." CEO Feng exploded in anger hearing his son's ridiculous declaration. "Boy, have you confused Li Zi to be the Young Princess..."

But before he could continue to berating his son, he notices his wife calm yet serious expression despite all the words he'd said to his son. He looked at his wife and direct his curiosity to her. "Is this true?"

"Honey, Li Zi is the Young Princess. Rumors of the Young Princess living an ordinary life is true, she used the identity as Li Zi in order to live the life she wants."

"Have you lost your mind, in all the girls why the Young Princess?!" CEO Feng exploded in shock finding out the truth. 

Any parent would be proud of their children gets to marry someone so powerful as the Young Princess. But CEO Feng knows his son very well and does not trust him one bit. 

"Xiaotong, did you, did you i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e her? What have you done?" 

Feng Xiaotong was annoyed by how little his father thinks of him. He restrained himself from acting out of place. "Of course not, father I ain't a pig who would do such a thing on my own actress. Plus, I respect Li Zi a lot even before knowing the truth."

"Then why isn't the girl with Shen already? Xiaotong did isn't like you at all." 

"I love her, even before Shen met her. I was the first to meet her, not him. But what can I do, she's my employee such a relationship is forbidden but I can't stay put anymore and watch her suffer. You know what happened to the Young Princess…"

Whilst his son continues to explain everything to him, he understands why the Zhao family has accepted his son's proposal. 'Ah~ What am I going to tell father?'

"Xiaotong, are you sure about this? I mean, I understand what you did is to protect her. But if you two don't marry in the future it will lead to such a scandal. What if Shen succeeds then what about you?"

Xiaotong could only smile which brought pain to his parent's heart. Of course, he'll give way and watch the girl follow her true happiness. 

"Bring her home next time, I'm sure your grandfather would want a proper explanation as well." CEO Feng sighs heavily and couldn't find the words anymore to talk. He knows his son's personality very well and the fact he made up his mind just proves how much he loves the girl. "Also, prepare to take your position. You can't keep working in Global Star. She is your fiance and its best to avoid any scandal."

"I'll go Shen then." Feng Xiaotong bid his parents as he steps out of his father's office leaving his parents such great weight on their soldier as they watch their son face his rough journey added.

Feng Xiaotong stepped out of his car and looked at the building his friends and him built together in years. He too was part of the success which gave him a heavy heart that he must leave the group. He walked in without any trouble but notice the employee looking all curiously at him. 

They murmured to each other as the man walked passed.

"Isn't Li Zi with our boss, so when did she and Boss Feng start dating each other."

"Man, something does not add up. I've always thought Boss was going to marry Li Zi. She always visits the Boss with Little Yan."

Feng Xiaotong overheard all the commotion between the employee. Unexpectedly, he was taken aback when someone unexpectedly punched him out of nowhere. 

"Xiaotong, what the f*ck do you think you're doing!?!"

Xiao Chen came at him all fire up and upset about the news of him being engaged to Li Zi. "Xiaotong, is this the way you treat your friends. Just because you're someone more powerful and richer than Shen you…"

"Fourth Brother, that's enough." Huang Lei pulled Xiao Chen away from Feng Xiaotong as the other employee came to help and restrained him. 

"Xiaotong, his your brother, how could you?" 

"Fourth Brother, that's enough… Calm down already." 

Xiao Chen pushed Huang Lei aside and stared coldly at him. "Calm down, how can you be calm about this. He, he took something that doesn't belong to him." 

"Li Zi, is not something, she a person." Feng Xiaotong got up with the help of the other employee.

"A person that belongs to someone already!"

"When did Li Zi belong to someone. She never announced she was taken by someone. She not a property but a person like you said." 

Xiao Chen's anger grew the more he heard from Feng Xiaotong. He never thought Xiaotong would act out of place. They all know he likes Li Zi too but with his personality and past experiences they never thought he'll act out. 

"Xiaotong, what are you doing here?" Huang Lei asked as he tried to mediate between the two. 

"I came to talk to Shen." Feng Xiaotong answered.

"What rights do you even have to talk to Shen. Do you even still consider yourself us one of our friends?!" Xiao Chen continue to vent out his anger alarming everyone in the room.

"Is Boss and Boss Feng not friends anymore?"

"I mean, aren't they friends' since childhood. I mean for their friendship to end because of a girl."

"Well, Li Zi is not an ordinary girl anyway. But to think the Boss will end up breaking their friendship over her."

"Chen, you have no right to judge me when you don't even know the whole situation!" Feng Xiaotong lost his composure and angrily spoke back. 

"Then, enlightened me!" Xiao Chen clicked his tongue and snorted at Feng Xiaotong.
