Chapter 1044 - How Could We Leave Our Daughter Alone?

Du Fan looked back when he heard the girl asking. His eyes went to look at Li Xue to see her response to it, but seeing her all calm, he was relieved. Finally, this relationship question wasn\'t a threat call for the lady.

"Sister Xue, why are you not saying anything? Was it really true?" Xiao Meng simply didn\'t want to believe it without confirming it. "I mean Sister Xue; I have heard that Prince Su has the best looks with best capabilities. Though finding men with good faces has been easy nowadays, it\'s hard to find their look matching their merits. And Prince Su has been considered to be someone of the high breed." She said and unknowingly her words offended Du Fan.

"Ms. Xiao, I am sorry to interrupt you but it wasn\'t as tough as you stated. Madame was fated to meet my Master and in front of my master\'s capabilities, no prince or minister stood a chance." He said and Xiao Meng turned to look at him with bewilderment.

"Have you met him?" She asked and then turned to look back at Li Xue to ask, "Sister Xue, is it just me who has not seen him? Who is he and is he really as capable as Mr. Du is mentioning him to be? I mean Prince Su …"

Li Xue\'s lips rose up once again as she turned to ask with much seriousness. "Meng Meng, I am asking you once again. Do you have a crush on Prince Su? You are praising him like, you have been liking him for quite some time now."

Xiao Meng shook her head. "Sister Xue, I didn\'t mean it that way. Since Prince Su was giving you so much attention, I just wanted you to check all your options first. After all, good men are really rare these days."

Li Xue really wanted to thank heaven on the behalf of the girl. She doesn\'t even know what could have happened if Mr. Beelzebub would have heard her here saying all that. Given his possessive side, she wouldn\'t be able to stop him if the next day she demands to get the assistant changed.

She shook her head internally before staring up at the girl. "Xiao Meng, do you think my choice would be something that easy?"

The girl shook her head. To which Li Xue smiled further to say, "Don\'t worry for the man I have. I assure you that if I ever revealed him, no one would be able to come forward to match him. Be his looks or his merits, he could easily surpass anyone. Just anyone."

Li Xue said and the confidence in her words was so high that it could easily make anyone believe her.

Xiao Meng\'s eyes shone as dreamily, she asked, "Sister Xue, you are speaking so highly of him. I couldn\'t dare to not believe your words. But I want to ask if later I would get the chance to meet him?"

Seeing her like that, Li Xue couldn\'t help but chuckle. "Haha … I couldn\'t be too sure of that. Actually, he doesn\'t like to socialize too much. But I will still try to find a way to reveal him when needed. Now enough of these talks, we are already near the company." She said and a slight disappointment appeared on the face of the pretty assistant.

On the other side, back in the palace,

After all the guests left the premises, Chen Rui brought Zhao Lingyue inside to continue their talks. Though she knew there was a high risk in revealing the things to her, she also knew that in the future her support would be most essential. So even if there was a risk, she needed to take the chance to see how it would turn out.

"How audacious! Who was that woman? How can you let her slide away that easily?" Feeling her nerves aching to strangle someone, Zhao Lingyue\'s face turned all red. On her forehead, her nerves popped out, evidencing the anger she was feeling inside.

Chen Rui immediately went to ease the old lady. "Calm down, Aunt Zhao. We didn\'t let her slide off this time. She has been punished well. But no matter however she was punished, I still feel that it wasn\'t even at the par of what she did to Xiao Xue. You know since her childhood; she has both physically and mentally harassed her. She has vent out all of our anger on her. Even from our sources, we have come to know that past in those years, there have been several times Li Xue was admitted to the hospitals. There have been records of her being severely tortured."

Chen Rui said it all and given her best ears, old lady Zhao heard her. Her face showed pity for the girl as slowly with her lived experience she said, "Rui, a woman could be softest and warmest when she becomes a mother of a child. But her viciousness and cruelty could also surpass all the human limits if she comes to consider her own child as her enemy. A similar thing happened to that pitiful girl. She was cursed to get born from such a mother."

She said and Chen Rui nodded. "After seeing Liu Hua\'s case, I wouldn\'t doubt that, Aunt Zhao. But I am relieved that I was able to push that woman away from my daughter. Now she has no such threat around and we are there to always support her. She would no longer have such a bad time again. I will make sure that now, with us around, she would be able to live her life all peacefully."

She said and Zhao Lingyue looked at her with some seriousness. "Rui, what you did already was enough. But you should end this now. Neither you nor Tinming should get involved with her now."

She said and Chen Rui frowned at her suggestion. "Aunt Zhao, what are you saying? How could we leave our daughter alone like that?"
