Chapter 1191 Both with career and life.

While Li Xue returned back to her room to enjoy the rest of the adventurous, soothing night ride with her princess; someone else was having a tough time getting sleep.

With barely any lights on in her room, Zhang Xiaotong was dragging on her cigar while tapping her foot maniacally on the floor. Since it was the silence of the night, although her heels were not tapping that hard, the sound it was causing was enough to cause anyone irritation.

"Are you saying to me that they have not called you ever since today's evening?" She asked and even though her voice came very coherent to ears, a kind of suppressed aggression could be clearly heard from it. As if she was almost controlling herself from gritting her teeth hard.

The woman she had on the call was feeling her nerves aching at her such behavior. So, almost getting up all irritated with her insane tone, she couldn't hold herself back any longer but reacted equally with frustration. "Ms. Zhang, how many times do I have to repeat the same words? I said it already they have not called me. And why are you even making a fuss out of it?"

"It was not like even if I get their calls, I would have gotten allowed to meet them. You have clearly asked me to trail them off every time they ask me to meet them. So, now, why have their calls become so important to you?" She said and Zhang Xiaotong couldn't help but groan at her attitude.

Grunting in exasperation, she kicked hard on the table kept in front of her before spitting out in anger, "Are you a fool? Or do you simply not understand the seriousness of things? Although I have restrained you from meeting them, that has nothing to do with their calls. They should call you because only their continuous calls would let us know their anxiousness regarding the issue."

She said and as if understanding something from her words, the woman on the call began to say, "You mean their calls …"

"That's right. Their calls were like trackers that would have let us know of their plans. But now that they are not giving you any calls, we could no longer assume what could be their plans." Before the girl on the call could say more, in desperation, Zhang Xiaotong explained it to her in better words.

"Ah, that's why you are vexing over it so much." The girl on the call said and her words of ease like that further vexed the inner soul of Xiaotong.

Still curbing her wretched self in, she asked taking a deep breath in, "Enough of your realization, girl. Tell me what did you actually do to pave them the path of ease?" She asked and her words like that almost freaked the girl out.

"What do you mean by that? Are you doubting me? Why would I do anything in their favor? Not like they are the ones paying me for things. I was …" She said and before she could say her words paused as her bones stiffened hearing a loud clanking on the other side of the call.

"Do you think I would believe that?" Zhang Xiaotong yelled, thrashing the glass of the table hard. "You clearly must have done something. Or else this time it wouldn't have been easy for Li Xue to escape my claw. Just tell me what did you actually do?"

"I … I really did nothing. Why would I? I was getting freaking paid for keeping her framed. Why would I even cut my own throat? I really did nothing. I have not met anyone, nor did I establish any connection with Li Xue or her team." The woman stuttered on the call and both from her tone and her words, the desperation to prove herself was evident. "I-I was clearly following your instruction and keeping myself eluded so that they couldn't reach me. I did nothing. Believe me."

She said and Zhang Xiaotong just gritted her teeth. Although she had no reason to suspect the girl, she was not able to bring herself to believe her. So, simply, in the end, she disconnected the call before throwing the phone hard on the floor. Her eyes turned all dark with evilness that was looking more scarier in the darkness.

"Li Xue, what are you planning now? Why am I feeling that you have got the things well in your understanding?" She mumbled to herself, looking in the mirror while the moonlight coming from the window evilly glowed on side of her figure. "But even if you believe to understand things, believe me, you would still not be pardoned. This time I would not let you off the hook so soon. You would definitely have to pay for snatching Brother FenFen from me. Both with your career and with your life."

She said as once again her lips tugged on one corner. This time a way ghastlier than before.

Soon the darkness of the night got conquered by the daylight. The sun rose in the sky before slowly peeking and waking Li Xue in her room. Waking up, she was first to embrace the brightness the morning brought before reaching out her hair to make a quick messy bun.

Once done she looked to her side and the pretty face of her daughter greeted her with the best morning. Her lips tugged upwards as without disturbing her little's sleep, she got down from the bed to start her day.

But little did she know the day would be bringing her a surprise that would be going to leave her all speechlessly dumbfounded.

Yawning off, she soon opened the door before descending down the stairs to get her initial glass of lukewarm water. Then taking her glass of water in her hand, she was ready to walk out to take a stroll on the green grass when she felt like she had come to some other place that was not of her knowledge any longer.

Her eyes blinked as she looked at the people standing in the garden to ask, "May I know, what's happening here?"
