Phoenix's Fated Half

What was his father to him? Well, the question should be, what was he to his father. Nevertheless, Jun Kai kept those thoughts behind. It had long pa.s.sed that time.

The middle age man on the phone spoke just as cool as his son had to him, "Did you make the deal with the Xuan leader?"

Hpmh, never out of his expectation. The only thing that connected him and his father would probably be this Feng business. Else, he wouldn"t be surprised if they weren"t together. Without the Feng family"s business connecting them together, he would have left long ago.

Jun Kai, "Sorry, but there were no deals...chairman."

"What do you mean no deals!?" The voice through the phone turned harsh.

"No deal means no deal." Despite the dangerous tone the other person had, Jun Kai seemed to have cared less. He turned his back from the window side that showed grandma Feng and Mi Rong walking inside the house.

"Don"t you try to mess with me, Jun Kai!" This time the other person didn"t hesitate to shout through the call. On the other hand, Jun Kai lazily leaned his back on the window side. Hmph, this old man never changed.

Not hearing any sound coming from the call, Mr. Li Zhen became restless, "Feng Jun Kai!"

"For your information, chairman, since yesterday, I have already resigned my position." Jun Kai took a short pause with his daring words, "Which means, yesterday, I only attended the auction as Jun Kai a young master of the Feng family. There were no deals to be made."

"You! I shouldn"t have looked after you all these years. Even though you want to quit, but your beloved grandmother will still make you the chairman. Hmph! You really want to be the chairman that bad?" Mr. Li Zhen spat out each word with fiery in his heart.

Jun Kai"s lips hooked up coldly, "Who wanted the position? Me? I believe Mr. Li Zhen knows it better than me. Anyways, I hope your business goes well and would rather hope you didn"t call this phone number, it"s only a waste of yours and my time."

The phone call had ended almost straight away. Jun Kai threw his phone on his sofa and headed to take a shower like nothing had happened. The room returned to its usual stillness.

On the other side of the city, someone else had also thrown his phone. However, the phone had broken into pieces that looked nothing like it was.

"Ah! Li Zhen, what was that sound?" A seemingly sweet voice of a lady in her middle age cried in worry and fear. Unlike before, the other person who had always cherished and adored her had not come up to her. She then had to carefully touch the walls beside her to lead the way to the other person.

Seeing the middle age lady walking with difficulty, Li Zhen couldn"t help but swallow down his anger. He walked closer to her and had stopped her in time before she would step into the broken pieces of the phone that he had just smashed.

"Huan er, you should"ve waited for me to help you. Don"t walk alone else you would step into something, alright?" Unlike his harsh tone that he had used with Jun Kai, he was talking so gently that it was as if it was another person entirely.

"Alright, but if I waited for you then I"ll have to stand there all day long, wouldn"t I?" The lady replied in a half agreeing and half blaming manner. She tried reaching out in the air to find Li Zhen, but ended up needing his help to put her hands on his face. The lady spoke with a gentle voice, "What had happened now, hm?"

Li Zhen"s expression seemed to have brightened up faintly, but when thinking of the main reason of his anger; his heart boiled up, "It"s that boy again. He took the responsibility to make the deal for the company, but do you know what told me? He said he had resigned his position since the day before. Now, how am I supposed to tell the board? Tut!"

Listening to the other person, her hand had moved to his shoulder and was patting on it gently. Her brows were knitted ever so slightly as if worried for the situation. Then, the next moment it had turned back to the usual soft and delicate face.

She righteously spoke, "It"s alright. You don"t have to take that responsibility. Let Ah Kai learn to take care of some responsibility, he just needs to learn to grow up and this is only his first time dealing with business." The lady spoke as if Jun Kai was throwing away his responsibility. However, the tone she used only sounded like an elder correcting the wrongdoings.

She then leaned her head on Li Zhen"s arm and calmly continued, "Besides, his mother has never been there to teach him properly. If I was more able enough, I wish I could help lessen your burden darling, but with these eyes, sigh, I can"t do much."

Huan Jia"s words were as smooth as the night breeze but had hidden daggers. She blamed all the intolerable actions of Jun Kai to his mother so smoothly that no one would"ve caught on.

Her voice sounded as if her heart had been broken. She was like a delicate flower but was pulled down by weeds. However, her eyes fluttered ever so slightly. A flash of malicious pa.s.sed under those beautiful eyes so fast that it was unreal. In this case, the mother and son were the weeds and she was the flower.

This lady was none other than Huan Jia who had come from a famous tyc.o.o.n family from the past. However, before their family could rise higher, their stocks plummeted after another influential family came into the industry. It was none other than Lady Ru Yin"s family.

In the beginning, the young master Feng then who was Feng Li Zhen and the famous young miss Huan Jia we"re paired together as a couple. n.o.body knew from what twist and turns did Feng Li Zhen ended up marrying Lady Ru Yin, the most famous beauty. Who knew if it was just a moment of bliss that Feng Li Zhen chased after Lady Ru Yin or if the pair had ever truly loved each other? It seemed the only people that knew was Mr. Li Zhen and lady Ru Yin themselves.

Mr. Li Zhen carefully lifted Huan Jia"s chin up gently, "Don"t worry you"re perfect for me." His words sounded sincere and made the lady slightly blushed.

She hid her face from him and softly spoke, "Don"t even try to make me feel better, I know..." Before she could speak anymore, she was pulled into a hug.

Her crystal-like eyes had turned darker. Hmph, Ru Yin ah, Ru Yin, the man you loved said I was perfect. I wonder how are you doing in that cold room, isolated from everything?

Li Zhen had been head over heels for you. He had even broken up with me just to marry you, but look at what has happened now? I am the only one beside him! I"ll keep on watching you mother and son suffer in pain for the rest of my life.

With the lady in his arm, Li Zhen had felt something was missing. Before it had never been like this, but when his beloved"s voice sounded heartbroken, another person"s voice and face that he had not seen for a long time had appeared in replace of her. The person had long been pushed to the back of his head, but why was he seeing her now? Tut, his heart truly felt frustrated.

It was only a split moment. He didn"t believe his heart would change that fast. It must have been because he had met her the other day and that was it.

…

Jun Kai"s back was solitary as he walked to his balcony after his shower. He truly didn"t understand his mother. What did that man have that his mother woman had fallen for him? Tut.
