Chapter 494 - Scheming Little Devil (2)
Xing Yiyue's eyes were now stung with tears, but she refused to let them see her in distress. She wanted to call her husband for help, but feared that her mother-in-law would also hear of what happened here. She could already imagine how the old woman would react once she heard that she brought disgrace to their family again.
Her face turned pale. She knew she could not easily get away with this. Not only her career would be harmed by this scandal, but it would also affect her relationship with Feng Tianhua.
For months, she had carefully played her role as the filial daughter-in-law and a good wife. She didn't even argue with her husband lately. Xing Yiyue shuddered at the thought of what Wang Ruoxi would do to her if this reached the old woman's ears.
Earlier, when she heard that Chairman Song was this little boy's grandmother, Xing Yiyue then realized that she might have offended the wrong person this time. She was aware that Wang Ruoxi was the second wife of her deceased father-in-law, which could only mean that Chairman Song was the first wife and Feng Tianyi's mother.
Feng Tianhua had reminded her not to associate herself with Tang Moyu ever again and avoid the empress at any cost for her own sake. But how could she have known that even though she had tried her best to avoid Tang Moyu, she would end up offending the Song family instead?
"You should be grateful that I'm not dragging you into a legal battle. Do you think that you could simply offend one of the Song family's heirs and get away with it?" Song Huifen said with an irritated expression and a sarcastic tone.
Her eyes then shifted to Xing Yiyue. This girl… Years ago, Song Huifen had used this woman by utilizing her connections for Xing Yiyue to meet Feng Tianhua. Because as long as Feng Tianhua had Tang Moyu by his side, the Feng Conglomerate wouldn't crumble on its own.
She just hadn't expected that her intervention in Feng Tianhua and Tang Moyu's affairs would lead to the empress ending up on her own son's bed, having twins in the process.
Xing Yiyue wasn't even aware that her meeting with Feng Tianhua had been arranged by Song Huifen herself. With her innocent face and gentle personality, how can Feng Tianhua ignore her beauty?
"And the Feng family seems to be getting bolder these days, I see. Not only have you tried to poke your nose into the Tang family's business, but now you also want to offend the Song family? Madam Feng, what do you take us for?" She questioned Xing Yiyue and gave her a scornful look.
"I… Madam, this is just a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to bully your grandson!" Xing Yiyue denied, hoping that she would be able to escape Song Huifen's wrath.
"Your companions were already begging for forgiveness, yet you are insisting that you aren't bullying our Baobao? Do you think I was born yesterday, Madam Feng?!"
"No, no…. I…." Xing Yiyue tried to reason out, but the nervous look on her face had already given her away. It was obvious that she was truly terrified of Song Huifen. Her voice trembled as she looked at the empress dowager.
Having had enough of the drama, Xiao Bao sighed to himself and gently tugged his grandmother's hand to get her attention.
"Mommy Fen, please don't get mad. I'm sorry for making you worry. It's not nice seeing Mommy Fen angry. You are prettier when you smile. Don't be like that to this old auntie. She's getting uglier the more she scowled." Xiao Bao told Song Huifen who only blinked at his words.
Oh, this little devil! When did he learn to become a sweet talker to charm women?! The empress dowager wondered, while Tang Beixuan mentally facepalmed himself.
Was his elder sister aware of Xiao Bao's ability to deceive others with his cute face and sweet talks?
Tang Beixuan didn't think that his sister would approve of this. When they were younger, his older sister was an introvert and quiet kid, unlike Xiao Bao and Little Star. Did they take after their father?
"Since the aunties have already apologized, I don't think Mommy Fen should blocklist them anymore." Xiao Bao suggested, before glancing at the women who arrogantly talked back to him earlier.
Did they just think that because he was a kid, he could easily be bullied and swayed by their words? He might be a kid, but he wasn't dumb. One of the things he didn't like when talking to a.d.u.l.ts was being treated as an ignorant, clueless child.
While it was true that Xing Yiyue might be the first one who saw the sapphire set, she didn't announce her intention to buy it before Xiao Bao did. If she did, the little boy wouldn't bother to argue with her and leave her be, but since Xing Yiyue didn't, Xiao Bao had every right to claim the set as his.
Mr. Liu could only wipe his cold sweat off his forehead as he realized the implications of Song Huifen's orders. This could be a declaration of war against the Feng family. With such a messy fight, he feared that they would be dragged into this family war.
Judging by Song Huifen's reaction, he could tell that she spoiled her grandson rotten. It seemed that this empress dowager could only show her gentle side when it comes to this little boy. He wasn't even aware that Song Huifen not only had one grandchild, but two.
With this commotion, they started to attract shoppers outside, wondering what was happening inside the store. They gathered just outside the entrance and were gossiping in low voices.
Before long, the security of the mall came and ushered the crowd away, saving the actresses inside from further humiliation. Seeing that her grandson had enough of this facade, Song Huifen conceded.
"Fine since my grandson said I should let you go, then I will. But this will be the last time!"
