The pictures were rolling one after the other. Feng Xinying became very emotional. She started crying silently as Xie Yuansheng held her shoulders. What was this happening in front of her. This was one of the most disheartening things that Lim Chuen could do. But what was his purpose? After she had announced to everyone that she was married to Xie Yuansheng, she had planned to reveal her ident.i.ty later, because she didn"t want to give so much information in one go. She wanted to fathom the market and then tell them about it. She had planned to explain everyone as to why she had kept herself anonymous until now.
While she was thinking all that, all of a sudden a video clip was shown in which the young Feng Zhantian was taking out his daughter from a wrecked car and as soon as he walked out with her, the car exploded.
"That video clip, my friends, is of the accident that occurred many years back," Lim Chuen said very coldly. He looked at Feng Xinying and Xie Yuansheng with "dare me and I will take revenge like this" expressions. He looked at Chang Ling, who was smiling viciously. The taste of sweet revenge was getting better and better. She picked another gla.s.s of red wine from a nearby waiter"s tray. She had convinced Lim Chuen in a way that Lim De Zhi wouldn"t know about it. Lim De Zhi was a very straightforward man who never liked his father"s antics and he had warned Chang Ling also to never fall into that. He hated his father"s acts of trying to takeover the Feng Conglomerate and had told Chang Ling that it was nearly impossible to do that because it had a very strong leaders.h.i.+p. But Chang Ling would listen to him and only smile in agreement. When he would go away, behind his back she would dig every possible way of conniving with her Lim Chuen to sabotage the Feng Conglomerate. This was her chance.
"In this car accident, the baby survived because of my dear friend, Feng Zhantian, who didn"t care for his life when he pulled the baby out," continued Lim Chuen. "But the woman who died in the accident was his wife. It was indeed a loss to him. Although do you know that in this accident one more woman died, and this woman was her best friend."
Feng Xinying and Xie Yuansheng were now both feeling miserable. In front of their eyes, they saw the car burst into flames in the video, watching their mothers burn. It was agonizing.
But there was one thing that was gnawing the mind of Xie Yuansheng. How did Lim Chuen get that video clip? He had searched for the car" accident like crazy for a very long time and had given up and suddenly Lim Chuen showed this video. Where did he acquire it from? Did he buy it from a local goon or did he already have it? If he bought it from somewhere, then Xie Yuansheng felt the need to digging it further, however, if Lim Chuen already had it, it meant something else. His whole direction of thinking had changed to a great extent. According to his intelligence, there was no recording of the accident and it somehow this time, Lim Chuen beat him with going to the person who had the video earlier than him.
The video stopped in a few minutes and now pictures of Feng Xinying along with Feng Zhantian were shown in which she was seen standing near him in her school dress. "Do you know who that girl next to Feng Zhantian is?"
That girl bore such a strong resemblance to Feng Xinying, and once again the gossip in the crowd started.
"What are we witnessing today?"
"This is so strange!"
"Lim Chuen is giving a gift or insulting the couple?"
Chang Ling smiled as she found that her plan was falling right in the place. To add fuel to the fire, she murmured within the gossips, "What a deceit!"
"Indeed a deceit!" said some people.
The picture was replaced with the latest picture of Feng Xinying and Xie Yuansheng of the current party. They were standing as a couple with Xie Yuansheng holding her from her waist.
The audience gaped.
"Yes! Our dear little Feng Xinying is no one else but the daughter of the business tyc.o.o.n Feng Zhantian," Lim Chuen revealed her ident.i.ty finally. Lim Chuen looked at Feng Xinying and continued, "My dear Feng Xinying, this is my little gift to you on the occasion of your wedding reception that we got so late. I hope you like it."
His secretary was about to show the next picture when a hand came and stopped the secretary. The secretary looked up at the person. It was Cai Xin standing over there with a stern face. "Who allowed you to do this without the permission from Feng Conglomerate? Do you know what is penalty of impinging on someone"s privacy?" She pointed behind her back. There were some men dressed in black standing over there. There was sweat on the secretary"s forehead. He got up to run but was caught by them. They held him from all sides and took him away from there as silently as possible.
Meanwhile all eyes of the crowd were now on Feng Xinying who was standing as stiff as a rod holding Xie Yuansheng"s hand. There was a pin drop awkward silence in the audience. One could hear people breathing. Suddenly the spotlight fell on the couple and people could see glistening cheeks of Feng Xinying, which were wet by tears.
Lim Chuen shouted in the mic to his secretary, "Next picture!"
Instead of a male voice, a soft female voice came, "Sorry Sir, it seems there is a minor problem in the projector. Please give us five minutes." Cai Xin looked Feng Xinying and gave her a thumbs up sign.
Xie Yuansheng looked at Feng Xinying, wiped her tears and nodded at her. He kissed her forehead. Feng Xinying walked slowly towards the stage with her head held high.
