Phoenix's Fated Half

In the morning, Mi Rong"s eyes fluttered as the morning light came through the window . Slowly her eyes were open and she gave a big yawn . She had a rather good night yesterday . However, there were no signs of the other person that had gone to bed with her yesterday night .

Oh? He left early today . . . usually, Jun Kai would have left after breakfast, but today he was already gone .  

Nevertheless, she did not give much thought to it and soon got up . She headed out of his room and went to change herself and refresh herself in her room .

Once all was done, she went to the kitchen and checked what was for breakfast today .  

"Hm, it smells lovely here," Mi Rong could not help but speak her thoughts when she arrived in the kitchen .

"Aiyoo, miss Mi Rong is here again? We will prepare everything and bring it to the table for you, miss does not need to come inside yourself . " It was a middle-aged lady who spoke out . She had an ap.r.o.n on and looked like the head chef .

"Haha, well, it seems no one can stop me then . " Mi Rong cheerfully teased and left the kitchen quickly . The food looked like it was on its way already .

The middle-aged lady could not but shake her head half seriously half tiredly .  

Mi Rong went straight to fetch Qing Qing for breakfast and soon, it was just Qing Qing and her at the dining table . Though there were a few whispers among the maids since they did not see young master Feng at the table together with miss Mi Rong and Qing Qing, they all kept it from Mi Rong .

On the other hand, Mi Rong was unaware of everyone and enjoyed her breakfast with Qing Qing .  

Halfway through their breakfast, reckless sounds of shouting was heard from outside .  
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
Almost immediately, Mi Rong"s brows became furrowed . Who was so impolite to start a ruckus this early in the morning .

She stood up to her tall height and told Qing Qing calmly, "Qing Qing, stay here . Jie will take care of this . " However, just as Mi Rong was about to head outside, a familiar-looking figure barged inside . She had a big black pair of sungla.s.ses on and was dressed in a red fiery dress .

Mi Rong"s eyes squinted towards the person in the midst of the guards . This girl still had the face to step into grandma Feng"s room after what she had done to grandma Feng? Mi Rong took big strides towards the newcomer . Well then, she would gladly chase this girl away!

Xue Li held her face higher and crossed her arms, hmph! This Mi Rong still did not know her place, acting like she(Mi Rong) was the master of this place? Well, this Feng family household would not welcome such a person like her any longer . If she(Xue Li) married into this house, this place would need some changing .

"Well, why have you brought yourself here, Xue Li?" Mi Rong spoke coldly, there were some hidden intentions behind her greeting .

Despite the warning from Mi Rong, Xue Li kept her composure . She smiled and spoke obliviously, "I truly don"t get it . I wonder why has Jun Kai still kept you beside him when you were the one who was last seen with grandma Feng on the day of her accident! You are the prime suspect! But you still dare stay in this household?" 

Xue Li spoke as if she was fighting for justice and the only injustice, in this case, it was Mi Rong . Some of the workers and housemaid turned to each other and began gossiping . Their soft whispers were faintly heard in the background . Nevertheless, there were some housemaids that retained themselves from their master"s business and was standing as good mannered bystanders .

On the other hand, Mi Rong showed no wavering to the majority and one of Mi Rong"s brows was merely raised up . What on earth? This girl had completely twisted the entire situation . Well, well, if this was what Xue Li wanted, she would kindly show the evidence in her hands .

However, before Mi Rong could reply back, Xue Li was already speaking again, "Maybe I should show everyone this photo that I have of you, and . . . " But before she could finish her sentence, another person had stopped her . Her action to reach for the "so-called" picture had also halted in her bag .

"That"s enough Xue Li . " A loud and distinct voice was heard from the doorway .

Immediately, all eyes fell on the newcomer . The few workers who had been gossiping about miss Mi Rong had all shut their lips tightly together and straightened their backs .

A tall figure in a black suit was seen walking in through the doorway . With his long legs, he took big strides inside . His entire presence was emitting a rather distant and cold ambience . He did not take any glances at Mi Rong but instead went straight to Xue Li .

He stopped just beside of Xue Li and in front of Mi Rong, with one hand in his pocket, he spoke, "This matter regards my grandmother, so it should not be spoken lightly . If I hear anyone speak any gossips around, then be prepared to take a leave . " His speech was indicated to not only Xue Li but the entire room . Who knew how long Jun Kai had been standing outside . Some of the workers" faces turned pale and began trembling slightly .

On the sideline, Xue Li"s hand that was in her bag began shaking slightly . Jun Kai had taken sides with Mi Rong again . If it was like this, wouldn"t everything be a failure? That must not happen, she quickly recovered herself and began speaking again, "Jun Kai, I am doing this is also for grandma Feng"s sake . Look at this picture," She took out the picture in her hand . Inside it, there was Mi Rong crouched down and was placing an odd-looking needle inside grandma Feng"s acupuncture points .

Jun Kai"s brows were furrowed . What was that dark green liquid tainted on the needle?

Mi Rong rolled her eyes . Where was this girl trying to get with showing her treating grandma Feng, "Look, that was just a first aid treatment for grandma Feng . Where do you think you"re trying to get from this Xue Li?"

The housemaids were torn between the two ladies . Some nodded in favour with miss Mi Rong since she knew about medicine, so where was the problem with that?

Xue Li chuckled, "Then what about that dark green liquid on the needle? Could it be poison? Shouldn"t grandma Feng have awakened by now, since she has been receiving such good care from good doctors?"

By now, some of the housemaids were won over by miss Xue Li and were beginning to name Mi Rong names .  

Mi Rong could not believe her ears . That liquid was her refined medicine to prevent any concussions . She turned to look at Jun Kai, but he was deadly quiet . He was not even looking at her, did he also believe Xue Li? Hmph! Fine, if it was like so, she"ll see where this girl will take this matter to .

Xue Li did not leave any s.p.a.ce for anyone to speak and continued, "Maybe if we check grandma Feng"s system, we can see if there was any poison or not . " Xue Li turned to Jun Kai and spoke, "Jun Kai, why not check just to make sure, hm?"

Jun Kai was silent . His eyes were still fixed on the photo with the needle that had that ghastful green looking liquid . Elder Shen"s voice rang inside his mind, "cherish her, she"s a gem . " He closed his eyes tiredly . Underneath his eyes, the dark circles underneath his eyes were more visible . He wanted to cherish her, but he needed to find out the answer as well, "Housekeeper Hai, bring a doctor to check for any poison in my grandmother . "

The housekeeper bowed and took his leave to call for a doctor .

Jun Kai then walked past the two ladies and headed upstairs . Qing Qing got up from her chair and tugged her father"s sleaves . Jun Kai looked down to the little girl . He smiled weakly before stroking her hair, "Stay with your teacher and be good for me," he could see the resistance in her eyes, and softly spoke, "Please . " 

Qing Qing who was about to say something kept quiet . She knew there was something terribly on her father"s heart and only watched as he went up the stairs to grandma Feng"s room . Her father"s back looked particularly lonely today . She wished if jie could help him out . Qing Qing turned her hopeful eyes towards Mi Rong .

Mi Rong caught the look from Qing Qing and could only sigh . What was going on with him now? She then followed Jun Kai up the stairs . Behind her, Xue Li also followed with hopeful eyes .

It was just like what that person had said . Everything was going exceptionally well, she thought to herself .

…

The room was silent as the doctor while an elderly doctor was checking grandma Feng"s blood . There was only Mi Rong, Jun Kai, and Xue Li who was watching him do the testing . The doctor had his brows knitted closely together as he went through a thorough checking .

At first, he had found nothing in grandma Feng"s blood with a silver needle, but there was nothing . Xue Li"s breathing had been inconsistent throughout the test . She was beginning to worry more and more and her eyes kept peeking at the other lady in the room .

On the other hand, Mi Rong had been calm throughout the entire process and did not speak anything . She was sure there was nothing to see .

As for Jun Kai, he had felt a sigh of relief when nothing was detected with the silver needle . He was trying to be patient as much as possible . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

When the doctor was done, he took his gla.s.ses out, "Ahem," He then began, "From the test results, there is indeed a slow-acting poison, but there was only such a small dose that it was hard to detect . "

The doctors fell like a hard rock inside the room .

"What does this poison do?" Jun Kai asked quickly .

"It slows grandma Feng"s recovery, but if there was just anymore of it, it could kill her slowly . The reason we could not find this poison was because there was such a small amount of it in her system that it was hardly detectable . "

Mi Rong"s expression was grave . It seems like some of the poison from that clad in purple had gotten through the IV line connected to grandma Feng . At least, they knew of it now . However, it seemed all of this was targeted at her and it was none other than that clad in purple who must have been behind all of this . She turned to look at Jun Kai but felt terribly insecure .

His expression right now was as if he was broken into half . She felt a surge of anxiousness for the first time .  

Nevertheless, she slowly walked up to him and reached out for his hand .  

"Leave . " It was only one word from him, but it felt like the whole world had fallen . Mi Rong could feel her heart drop to a pitless hole . Did he believe all of this?

Slowly, Jun Kai turned to face Mi Rong for the first time of the day, "Leave this place . " Those three words felt like his mouth had taken a shot of hot water . His eyes were also heartbroken . There were so many emotions in his eyes at one time; sadness, disappointment, and pain were all mixed together . There was unwillingness for her to leave but also a gigantic weight of betrayal had fallen in his heart .

Mi Rong"s hands dropped to her side weakly . So this was his choice? Not even listening to her, but he had already made his decision? Where was the fairness of this?

She felt like her heart ringing with pain . Fine . She could feel a gush of anger engulfing here entire being . With a swift, she turned and left without leaving any words . She could not bear seeing him again .

As Mi Rong left, Xue Li was secretly smiling upon the couple falling apart . Now, there was no longer anyone to compete with her .
