Xei Weihui looked at Feng Xinying with anger in her eyes. "I will get Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ here - in this house. She is my daughter and hence she has the full right to live here with me."
"Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ will not stay in the same house as me," said Feng Xinying crossing her arms across her chest. She stood with a firm gait.
"Why Feng Xinying? Are you so jealous of your stepsister already that she will take your place in the family? You are older to her and you should be nice towards her. Instead you are already throwing your temper tantrums. Xei Weihui spat. She looked at Xie Yuansheng and said, "Your wife is out of control. Doesn"t she have any respect for the relatives? I will be getting my daughter home and you have to accept it. Can"t you control your wife? What kind of a man are you who cannot even control his wife? Don"t you know how she behaved with me also when she came back?"
Xie Yuansheng was angry, "Mother, I will not hear anything against my wife. Feng Xinying is correct. If she doesn"t want Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ in the house, there must be a reason." He didn"t want to tell her that Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was involved in an accident. After all, his aunt deserved to live a life with her long-lost daughter. She had taken good care of him. He didn"t want to separate the mother and child and he knew that no matter what, his aunt would not hear any logic thrown at her. Even if they would tell her about Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s crime, she would not believe them. This was in a very emotional state.
Xei Weihui went on to say, "In that case I will also leave this place. Feng Zhantian had given me thirty percent from his property. That is more than enough to live our life peacefully for my daughter and me. But Feng Xinying, I promise you one thing - my daughter will s.h.i.+ne brighter than you. She has already got so many film offers, thanks to her connections in the film industry. Soon she will be able to work with Wu Bosun and then everything will become fantastic for her. Then we will take our revenge for this insult!"
Saying that Xei Weihui left for her room. All the servants who were standing there were stunned at the way young miss behaved. It was simply terrible. They had never imagined that Feng Xinying would be so ruthless. They shook their heads and went back in the kitchen or to do other ch.o.r.es.
Feng Xinying looked at Xie Yuansheng and broke into tears. "I had never antic.i.p.ated that a sister who should have accepted me with open arms would try to murder me instead. For a moment I was so happy that I finally get a sibling whom I can tease, and play an older sister. But my happiness was ruined the moment I heard that it was Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ could have easily come into the house with her love and I would have accepted her."
"I understand…" consoled Xie Yuansheng.
The two of them went and sat in the main hall. Feng Xinying looked at Xie Yuansheng and said, "I don"t want to appear as a villain here Xie Yuansheng but in whatever way I can think of, I am finding it difficult to accept Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+…" That day she was planning to go and lodge a formal complaint with the police regarding Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. She had planned it all in the night itself.
Xie Yuansheng said very coolly, "Feng Xinying, I am also surprised about Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. How can we live with someone who has played us to that level? If Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ thinks that she can play us so sneakily, trust me I am no less but my only problem is my aunt. I cannot betray her love. The fact that never married and instead took care of me and my brother all her life is something that us two brothers are going to stay indebted and that is my only weak point."
Feng Xinying was about to say something just when Xei Weihui emerged from her room. She had a huge suitcase that she was hollering behind her. She came to the main hall and declared, "Feng Xinying, because of you I am leaving this house. A day will come when I will bring you down and you will be thrown out of this house. I am going to my daughter. You are the worst kind of a girl I have ever met. A girl who could never even trust her father, she would one day surely bring her husband down." Weihui stormed out of the house without even waiting for her to answer.
Feng Xinying looked at her walking out of the house. Xie Yuansheng sat and watched his aunt walking away. He felt sad, but he knew that this time he had to be with his wife and he would not betray her. She had suffered because of him in his past life. Also, he had never known that it was Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ who was behind all this. While he was seething in anger because of Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, he was feeling sad about his aunt.
"What did your mother mean by saying that Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ has got film offers? Yesterday night she said that she wouldn"t work for a year. Why was she speaking lies?" asked Feng Xinying unable to make head or tail of whatever Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ spoke.
Xie Yuansheng narrowed his eyes. He got up from his sofa and asked Feng Xinying, "Did you call the director Lu Dao?"
"Not as yet. I was so busy."
"Do you want to get into movies?"
Feng Xinying looked flabbergasted. It was such a sudden change of topic. "I don"t mind, but also wanted to a.s.sist you in the business," she replied.
"Do you trust me that I can take care of Feng Conglomerate?" he asked.
Her trust for him had grown so much that she said, "I trust that you can take the company to new heights."
"In that case join the movie line."
