Phoenix's Fated Half 163 Tempting

Knock, knock

A middle-aged n.o.bleman was resting in a soft sofa accompanied with a hot tea in his hands. Mr Li Jian was wrapped in a warm gown while drank his tea. Though he was sitting uprightly on the sofa, his face showed signs of fatigue as if he had aged 10 more years. The whites of his hair were slightly more visible and his eyes were dark due to lack of sleep. It had been just one night, but he felt like an entire month had pa.s.sed.

The blow from Huan Jia was still there in his mind as he came to know of the truth. He could not blame anyone else but himself for being too careless.

"Come in," The master Feng spoke.  

A guard walked inside and respectfully informed, "Boss, the young master is here, sir."

Mr Li Jian's hand flinched slightly as he held the cup of tea in his hand, "Jun Kai?" 

"Yes, sir." 

"Let him in." The guard then left to carry out his orders, leaving Mr Li Jian behind. He wondered what could bring his son all the way here. The only thing he hoped was for his son to not find out about his wife. There was enough weight on his son's shoulders already. Though he was not a compa.s.sionate man, after learning the truth and feeling his own consciousness back, his true feelings were slowly returning.

Since the love potion was not refilled in Mr Li Jian's veins, his eyes were starting to become clearer. Maybe there was still hope left if one grabbed the opportunity to make it right again. It all depends on one decision.

A black well-polished car drove inside the mansion. In the pa.s.senger seat behind, an imposing young man was looking out of his window cold. Since driving inside the mansion, Lin Cheng could feel the car drop a couple of degrees lower even though the heating of the car was on. The season was slowly changing into winter, but the winter seemed to have come faster for Lin Cheng.

As Jun Kai kept his eyes outside the window, he was deep in his thoughts. Before he would begin his search for his mother, he had to finally do something which he should have done a long time ago. Confront his very own father.

Once the car stopped, Jun Kai opened his door immediately, not waiting for Lin Cheng to open it for him. He did not want to stay in this dirty place for long. Lin Cheng could only watch and follow behind his boss cautiously. He could see the tension from his boss for his boss' jaws were both clenched. He prayed nothing would happen between the father and son.

…

In a broad daylight, a woman in a dark cloak covering her face could be seen walking shakily towards a luxury building. She looked unfitting to the crowd of people dressed in high-end clothes. People were all avoiding to go near her. 

These wretched people! If they knew who she was, they would have to bow down at her! 

However, the lady seemed to have forgotten how she was dressed and appeared in front of the meticulous beings of the wealthy cla.s.s. Well, was this not how she would do if she was in their shoes?

The lady had her hair almost covering her face and she was walking with her bare feet. Her body was wrenching of sweat that had been built up from walking her legs all the way from where she had been left. If it were not for that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Li Jian, she would not have to be facing this humiliation.

The lady fallen from the ninth heavens was none other than, the Ms Huan Jia. Before she was proud wherever she went with Li Jian, now she had lost all her grace.

Ms Huan Jia walked to head inside the building but was immediately stopped by the two guards outside. Both of them had to quickly cover their nose away from the person who was trying to get in. 

They both had their brows knitted and was about to shoo the lady with a dirty cloak off when a manager of the hotel ran up towards them, "Stop!" The manager called out. When the manager came closer, he whispered to the two guards to stop them from making any more mistakes, "Boss' person." 

The guards immediately changed their stance and were now openly welcoming their guest. Ms Huan Jia scoffed. Just a bunch of wimps.

She was then attentively led inside by the manager. The manager was cunning and sharp enough to recognize the lady in the cloak as Ms Huan Jia who was their boss' person. He took her inside full of courtesy, but every other customer in the building were looking at him as if he was acting like a madman.

Soon, Ms Huan Jia was in the presence of the boss of the entire building. He was dressed up in a das.h.i.+ng bright red and was resting his head on his arm by his desk. When Ms Huan Jia saw Li Ye, she immediately fell on her knees and began crying.

The manager knew he should dismiss himself immediately and let the play s.h.i.+ne on the lady. Tut tut, such a two-faced person. One time she was all haughty and the other she was as fragile as gla.s.s.

"What is it this time, Huan Jia?" 

"My lord, that Li Jian, he kicked me out like a useless shoe. I was treated with wrongly sir!" She began pleading her heart out.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

But it was not enough for the clad in red, "Wasn't his wife treated wrongly by you all these years?" He did not mind sprinkling salt onto the wound.

Despite the cold words, it did not make her stumble. The clad in red knew deep down how thick faced this person was.

"My Lord, someone had revealed our plans! The bottle that you gave to me was discovered by Li Jian! I was kicked out of the door and all I want now is to revenge them. Before I was blinded by love and was ignorant of your plans, but now, my Lord, I will surely help you tear down the Feng family."

The clad in red sneered, more like she would help herself tear the Feng family down. All the flowery words from a female like her were just a trap hidden one after the other, "Sigh, quit the talk, Huan Jia. Describe the person that revealed you."

A light flashed past her eyes, "This person was dressed in black. When I came in from cleaning the spilt wine, I saw the person smelling the potion and then my lord, they used a needle to make me pa.s.s out. I was not able to even react! I'm sure there must have been some medicine tainted in that needle because I could smell the traditional herbs coming from it. That was not all, Li Jian soon arrived and had been holding onto a piece of paper when I woke up. It must have been a letter from that person because Li Jian had the doctor check on the potion immediately. I'm sure it must have been that woman, Ru Yin's person!" 

Ms Huan Jia completely erased out the fact that she threw a big chunk of gla.s.s at the person, but it did not matter to her anyway. It would not benefit her either, she should be the one for everyone to feel pity and want to help her. She also could not wait to bring Lady Ru Yin into the dirty water as well.

The clad in red had his lips curved up. He could only think of one person who was able to figure his potion out in a quick moment of time, Mi Rong ah was this also you…

"My Lord?" Ms Huan Jia received no answer from the other person and called out to the clad in red.

The clad in red turned to face the lady who had lost badly in front of him. Just useless, by now, all the p.a.w.ns he had left in the Feng family would slowly be rooted out. He would have to find a s.h.i.+eld to slow them down. 

The full moon will arrive again, and by then, Mi Rong's eyes would be cleared. He must root out the Feng family once and for all and then, by that time, he would pull her in his arms and they would be together. He just needed some more time…

A thought came into his mind and with it, he smiled victoriously. What if he found a precious person of the Feng family as a bargain? Jun Kai's mother seemed like the perfect option for his s.h.i.+eld and a perfect option to root the Feng family down.

His vengeance with the Feng family began way back in the past and this time he would make it right.

As Ms Huan Jia looked at the clad in red who was deep in his thoughts, she too smiled secretly. She was a calculative person, and she knew she had spoken the right words to get what she wanted…It was just a mention of Ru Yin's name that would change it all, hmph!
