Chapter 1257 You know me better than Gao Fan and Qi Shuai.

As Zhang Xiaotong saw Li Xue leaving with Feng Shufen, she could no longer hold back the snap she had inside her all this while. Glaring at them, she turned to shout. "What are you people looking at me for? Don't you have your jobs to do?"

People flinched at her yell. Not because they were scared of her, but they were not expecting her to be like that. After all, wasn't she a lady from a rich family, who had been taught all the manners from a young age?

"Heh! Did you see that? Now that she has no control over her own, she has chosen to yell at us. Hasn't she been too arrogant?"

"What's the use of her dressing up so high when she can't even maintain the proper etiquette required for it? Does she think just dressing up could make her charming?"

"Even Mrs. Feng hasn't revealed her face, she still looked the most charming one, based on how she has carried herself all this while. I am sure President Feng must have been charmed by her nature and her ways than her face."

One after the other, people started commenting and the more Zhang Xiaotong heard them, the more angered she got. These people were menial in front of her, yet they were speaking about her on her face. Just how much confidence did Li Xue give in them that they no longer are scared of the consequences?

"You guys think that you can talk back in front of me just because Li Xue sided with you moments ago? Don't forget your place. I am still …" Before she could say more, the store manager came forward to interrupt her.

"Madam, since you have no intention to purchase anything here, I politely ask you to leave first. We still have customers to attend and we do not want them to face any inconvenience. So, please!" He said and the next moment gestured the lady towards the exit.

Zhang Xiaotong couldn't get more insulted than this. Her jaws clenched as she shot a threatening glare at the store manager. But in the end, he left without saying a word to anyone.

After she left, the people in the store were satisfied. But just when they would have cheered for it, some paused to ask in an unbelievable tone. "Wait, did that crazy lady just referred Mrs. Feng as Li Xue? Could she be the same Li Xue whom we have known?"

When one said that, only then did the realization hit the others. Their eyes squinted in confusion, but everyone nodded in the end. They did hear Zhang Xiaotong referring to Li Xue's name.

Could it be Li Xue, the fashion model from the fashion industry?

When inside the people were skeptical about Mrs. Feng's identity; outside, Li Xue was sitting with a sullen face inside the car. After a moment, designating the orders to the men Gao Fan and Feng Shufen also returned to the car. When sat inside, Gao Fan felt something amiss, but he didn't voice out his thoughts, knowing that if he was able to detect it, his President would have also figured it out.

Igniting the engine, they soon started the ride. And like it was, it didn't take Feng Shufen to notice the downturn in Li Xue's mood.

Frowning, he asked, "Did something happen in the mall that make you upset?" Zhang Xiaotong was there and he wouldn't be surprised to know that the girl would have done something there.

Li Xue heard him and then turned to look at the man with pursed lips. As if she was accusing him of feigning innocence, she asked, "President Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Shufen looked at her for some time and didn't understand. So, shrugging off, he denied it. But his expression grew a bit dark next as he was about to say something. But before he could, Li Xue puffed a breath out before adding, "President Feng, others can't make me upset, no matter how they try. My mood gets affected by the people I care about."

She said and after thinking about her words for a moment, Feng Shufen asked as if he had understood the gist of her words. "Did I do something to upset you?"

And even though the answer was yes, with this solemn expression like that Li Xue couldn't accept it. It felt like if she did, she would hurt him again. So, taking a deep breath in, she thought to solve it out to ask, "Mr. Beelzebub, I am not particularly upset. Rather you can say that I am jealous. Jealous to know that some other person knows you better than me. And that thing is just not making me relax. If you would have been the book, believe me, I would have read all of it in one sitting, just to avoid the feeling I am feeling right now."

Li Xue said, and Feng Shufen just listened to her patiently. It wasn't tough for him to understand her feelings because he knew that if in her shoes, he would have felt the same. Feeling the closeness of Jing Wei Jin to her in those five years when he wasn't around was already torturous, he couldn't imagine someone knowing her better than him.

As Li Xue said, she felt her words sounded silly. So, to not embarrass herself, she thought to stop there and turned away, but just when she would have done that, Feng Shufen's deep voice rang close to her ears, "But no one knows me better than you do. Not even Gao Fan and Qi Shuai."

He said and his words like that made Li Xue pause for a moment. She turned to look at him in an attempt to figure out the seriousness in his words. And there he was looking all firm about his words. When he mentioned Gao Fan and Qi Shuai, what he meant was not simple.

Li Xue knew the meaning of Director Qi and Gao Fan in his life. Those people were the ones who combinedly knew the most of Shufen. If he is saying that she knows him better than them, wouldn't it mean she knew more than anyone else?

A small curl lifted her lips as without realizing it, her heart melted away. But then she looked away to hide her bashfulness, before she asked, "If that's so then how come I have never known your office schedule but Ms. Zhang knew?"

And there Feng Shufen understood where all that came from. Keeping himself nonchalant to her question, he simply said, "Because when you are the one in concern, my no work schedule matters. You are my priority."

Gao Fan agreed to it not because he was loyal to his President, but because he has seen all this with his own eyes. The moment Li Xue would be concerned, Feng Shufen wouldn't take time before shutting all off to reach her. The same happened when they were out of the country. If they had stayed a few more hours, they would have gotten to the location where the former matriarch was residing currently. But just after they got the news of the lady being attacked, they set out as if no other things mattered.

Seeing the sequential turn of events, he now even doubted if everything was just a coincidence or deliberately related.
