Chapter 257 - STALLING (2/2)
With time, as they worked together, Song Lili could not believe that she would not be able to attract Zhong Feng. In the end, all men were the same. With enough persuasion, a woman could make them do anything.
She refused to believe that she could not win over Zhong Feng. At this point, her determination had little to do with love. She wanted to win and prove to herself that she could get anything that she wanted.
Chu Ling sat down heavily as Song Lili was ushered out of the room. She felt like she had grown a little older by just talking to that woman. She could not believe that it had come to this point after everything they had shared in the past.
”Why was Little Fai screaming?” She asked the butler when she collected herself.
Butler remained composed, but there was a glimmer of humour in his eyes. ”The old master came back and tried to scare the boy with his usual antics.”
Chu Ling felt the weight of the serious matter at hand become a little lighter. She could already picture the adorable Hu Fai screaming while her father-in-law looked at him, lost for words.
”Where is Fai now?” She asked.
”He and the old master went to his courtyard to look at the herbs in his garden.” The butler replied.
Chu Ling frowned with unwillingness in her heart when she heard that. Her imagination became wild as she imagined Hu Fai abandoning her.
How could things have changed outside while she was stuck in the sunroom with Song Lili? If she did not do anything and Hu Fai continued to bond with her father-in-law, Hu Fai's affections might change. Currently, she was his favourite because she stayed home with him.
They always planted flowers and studied some art and calligraphy. She would also help him review the lessons after the private tutor they had hired left. Besides, she always ensured that he had delicious food.
But her father-in-law could not be underestimated. He had a personality that got along with young people. Plus, if he decided to take away Hu Fai, it would be hard to fight back. At that moment, she had already forgotten that Hu Fai was not a member of the Zhong family.
Rightfully, Hu Lei was the legal guardian and had the final word.
”Madam, you should inform the young master about the matter first.” The butler reminded her.
Chu Ling cleared her mind of the frivolous thoughts. The most important thing was to manage the explosive situation that had occurred before thinking about other matters.
”I will do that right away.”
