Chapter 707 - Blooming since childhood.

Just after Zhen Qinrou disconnected the call, she dialed back the number of Zhang Xiaotong. On the first ring itself, the call was answered. But the next came not a greeting of respect but an accusation.

"Aunt Qinrou, why did you do this to me? Were you thinking to make me a laughing stock in front of everyone?" The sharp voice mixed with painful sobs came to hit Zhen Qinrou's ears, making her confused about the things.

"Xiaotong! Dear, what happened? What did I do?" She asked, not understanding a thing. Her heart drummed in the beat of anxiousness, not understanding the turn of the events. Wasn't she at the party before? Then what suddenly happened to bring her into a situation where she was crying like this?

A thought struck her, making her pale as she asked, "Xiaotong, did Feng Shufen bring some other woman to the party? Does that woman insult you?" She asked in a concerned voice but that concern was not for the girl on the other side of the call, rather was for that plan that she felt was on the brink of failure.

"Aunt Qinrou, why did you lie to me? Why did you say that it was not Brother Fenfen but his servants who sent back the gift and the bouquet? You even hid that he had someone special by his side." Zhang Xiaotong let her heart out one after the other, sobbing miserably in pain. The grief of losing something important to her was very evident in her voice.

Hearing her like that, Zhen Qinrou felt at loss. She had never thought this to come but wasn't these days everything was going in the way where her plans were coming to no use?

Gritting her teeth at her bad luck, she tried to handle the situation, coaxing the girl for the good before losing everything for real. "Xiaotong, why are you saying that? I just didn't want you to lose hope in Feng Shufen. My intention has never been to hurt or insult you."

"Not an intention to hurt me. Aunt Qinrou, what happened to me today was already quite hurtful. Brother Fenfen is already having some woman beside him and knowing this has already been quite an insult and hurt to me. If not this what else were you intending". Zhang Xiaotong said. Her tone suddenly got vengeful.

It was not hard for Zhen Qinrou to pick the vengefulness in her tone. To know the poison, snakes never need any effort, even the tinge of its smell in the air was enough to let them know.

Smiling, she understood the weak point she would need to hold to keep the girl in her control. "It's not me who has hurt you, Xiaotong. It's your thoughts that are hurting you. Abandoning the dream that you have strived for since your childhood is what gives you pain. Imagining your d.e.s.i.r.ed man with someone else is insulting you to the core Xiaotong. It's not me, as you think. You are the reason yourself". She said, manipulating the thoughts of the girl well in her favor.

At her words, Zhang Xiaotong paused on the other side. Her sobs paused as well and so did her heavy aggressive panting. "What do you mean?" She asked, trying to confirm the meaning she was contemplating through those words.

Knowing the fish was already in the trap, the upward arc on the woman's lips grew deeper as she said. "My meaning is as simple as you understood, Xiaotong. I don't want to see you in defeat just because of one failure. I think Feng Shufen is the man who will change seeing your hard work. You can't just give up on him on the very first chance you get". She said, leaving the woman deep in her thoughts.

Though even after some time, no response came her way in regard to her words, she knew well that her words had left deep imprints on the girl.

"Aunt Qinrou, the day has been quite hectic for me today and it's already late. I will go and have a rest first. Will call you later when I feel like". After a long pause, finally, Zhang Xiatong broke the silence.

Zhen Qinrou nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you sound really tired. Take a good rest and think well about the things I have said to you. I am sure you are a girl with good knowledge. You will never make a wrong decision. After all, love is not something easy to forget, especially the one that has been blooming since childhood."

Though not at first, after a few hours the teasers of Aurora's season release were on the top trending list. The prediction came right, so did the vibe of excitement in the hearts of the people.

"Boss, the teasers are trending on the list. If things went like this, the Spring season release will not be a disappointment. It will achieve great success instead." Someone from the Aurora fashion team came to congratulate Feng Yi Lan.

The woman smiled as if she had known the result from before. "Of course, it will be. There is no doubt about that. We have got luck in our pockets. Now, you go and enjoy the party with others, I will give a call to Li Xue and inform her as well." She said, before turning to move on the other side to give a call to Li Xue.

After a few rings, the call went through. "Hey, darling! Where are you? Did you pick my little chipmunk already?" She asked and heard the hum from the other side.

"Oh that's great then let's meet and celebrate first. The season release invitation teasers have been a success and I want to celebrate it with you two. My brother is also not here, so I guess it will be fun together. What do you say?"

Li Xue on the other side of the call thought for some time before agreeing. "Okay, we can do that. Let's meet in the evening then."

"Evening? Why not now? Where are you at the moment? My work is over here and I can come to you right now?" Feng Yi Lan said, feeling a little bored of work. Since last week she has been continuously working and now it was her time to rest.

"Umm … I am at Clay-lore villa club. And till you reach here, it will already be evening, so it will be only easy to meet at home" Li Xue said with a slightly hesitant voice, knowing well the next reaction she would be receiving at the mention of the place.

"Wait– what did you say? Clay-lore villa? Girl, how dare you do that to me?" A loud scream came, making Li Xue at once pull the phone away from her ears. "Come back now! You can't go there. Come here right now. Did you hear me? Come back, Li Xue!"
