Chapter 44 To Be a Slave, to Be a Maid
Feng Shuya took a deep breath, "Rest assured, since I’ve agreed, I won’t be two-faced, at least not to you or Chu Bing!"
"Mm, that’s best!" Ling Fan nodded.
"For your sake, I won’t touch Feng Wenshan as long as he doesn’t court death himself, this includes your family members. However, I can’t say the same for other members of the Feng Family. I have two conditions. If the Feng Family can meet them, then I’ll let it go!"
Feng Shuya pondered, "Thank you, what are the two?"
"Stay out of the remaining matters and deliver a message when you go back. First, have your Feng Family destroy the Li Family. Once that’s handled, we can talk about the second condition," Ling Fan said indifferently.
Feng Shuya hesitated, "The mistress of the Li Family is my aunt. Is there really no room for redemption?"
Feng Shuya’s mother, Chen Yulan, was the biological sister of Li Taihe’s wife, Chen Yue. From her perspective, it was necessary to plead for this favor.
Ling Fan fell silent, "It depends on the Li Family’s attitude!"
"Thank you!" Feng Shuya didn’t say anything more.
She knew that Ling Fan had made the greatest concession for her sake.
...
Outside Tianyun Company.
"Xiao Ya, how did it go?" Feng Wenshan had not left at all and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing Feng Shuya come out, he quickly inquired.
"Let’s go back and discuss with the family. We can’t decide this alone," Feng Shuya said, glancing at her father before getting into the car.
At the Feng Family Villa, Feng Wende and several other core family members were waiting for news from Feng Wenshan.
Amidst everyone’s eager gazes, Feng Shuya conveyed Ling Fan’s first condition.
"Wende, I know your sister-in-law has a deep relationship with the Li Family, but for the sake of our family, we must be prepared to sacrifice our kin. What do you think?" Feng Wende spoke somberly.
Feng Wenshan was conflicted; he was henpecked, and if they really had to take action against the Li Family, how would he explain it to his wife?
Feng Shuya hesitantly said, "I have a thought, to inform the Li Family and let them take the initiative to apologize to Ling Fan. If they can obtain his forgiveness, all will be well. This is the best course of action."
"Heh, you make it sound so easy. What if we can’t settle the guilt and end up angering Young Master Ling? Wouldn’t the Feng Family be implicated as well?" Feng Jie sneered coldly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Mm, Feng Jie makes a point, we should be more cautious," Feng Wenzhi nodded in agreement.
Feng Shuya glanced at the others, knowing everyone was prioritizing their own interests, and said calmly, "I’ve asked for mercy, and Ling Fan has promised. It depends on the Li Family’s attitude."
"If that’s the case, you and your father handle it. But let me be clear upfront, if something goes wrong, don’t blame me for not being sentimental!" Feng Wende said in a stern voice.
Feng Wenshan’s face turned grim. With the situation at this point, he immediately contacted Li Taihe.
After receiving the news, Li Taihe was completely stunned.
"Brother-in-law, I’ve done all I can; we’ve hit a wall this time. The Feng Family is also in a precarious situation. You better find a way to get Ling Fan’s forgiveness fast, there’s only one chance," Feng Wenshan said helplessly.
Li Taihe hung up the phone and immediately gathered all the important members of the Li Family, causing total chaos at the Li Family.
Half an hour later, at the Li Family Villa.
Li Taihe, his wife Chen Yue, Li Mei with her arm in a cast, and Li Mengying with a solemn expression were all present. Apart from Li Guohao who was hospitalized, the family of five was complete.
The entire hall was oppressively tense, and everyone understood the severity of the situation.
Li Taihe pondered deeply, "It’s my Li Family that was shortsighted, but it’s too late for regrets now. We must obtain Ling Fan’s forgiveness by the end of the day!"
Having said that, he looked towards Li Mengying, "Xiao Ying, I’ve thought it over again and again, and it has to be you who deals with this matter. The life and death of the Li Family now depends entirely on you."
Li Mei’s face was as pale as paper, never having imagined the situation would escalate to this point. That waste, who she once scorned and looked down upon, was now someone the Li Family had to look up to?
Li Mengying felt choked up inside, under immense pressure. The feud between the Li Family and Ling Fan was virtually irreconcilable, as difficult as reaching the heavens to dissolve.
Li Taihe was also filled with helplessness, glancing at his two daughters in the hall, he suddenly seemed much older.
"Xiao Ying, our Li family’s lineage is dwindling, and the only male, Guohao, is unable to hold up our household. You’ve been handling most of the Li Family’s affairs outside, so if we can survive this life-or-death situation, I will hand over all the authority to you!"
Li Mengying felt a sourness in her heart, "Dad!"
"Let’s not talk about this right now. We need to get past the current crisis before anything else, otherwise, it’s all meaningless," Li Taihe waved his hand.
Chen Yue stood silently on the side, filled with self-reproach. If only Li Mengying were a boy, it was just too bad she hadn’t been able to bear a son for Li Taihe.
"I will definitely find a way to save the Li Family!" Li Mengying silently vowed in her heart.
...
At the entrance of Tianyun Company, Li Mengying had dressed herself with great care, looking like a bewitching fairy, enchanting and captivating. Today, she had made all preparations.
"Please help me send a message, just say Li Mengying requests to see Young Master Ling!" Li Mengying said politely.
Before coming, she had made thorough preparations, knowing that Tianyun’s security guards were particularly tough and not to be offended.
Qian Dayong, wary of causing trouble because of the Feng Wenshan incident, personally came out to patrol and scrutinize every stranger entering the company.
Now seeing another great beauty looking for Young Master Ling, his eyes widened. What kind of day was it, with so many beauties seeking out Young Master Ling?
Moreover, each beauty had a completely different style, yet all were the finest of the fine, far more beautiful than his own wife at home.
"Then please wait a moment, I will go up and pass the message!" Qian Dayong collected his thoughts and hurriedly ran off. Anything related to Young Master Ling was a matter of great importance, not to be delayed.
A few security guards downstairs were left dumbfounded, "Young Master Ling really has a way with women, huh? Having President Xiao, such a beautiful woman, is already enough, but now there are also these beautiful women taking the initiative to come to him!"
Ling Fan saw Qian Dayong hurrying in and asked, "Has someone from the Li Family come?"
"Young Master Ling, you knew already?"
"Hmm, who is it?"
Qian Dayong took a breath, "She said her name is Li Mengying! Quite beautiful!"
"Oh!" Ling Fan frowned slightly, remembering the promise he had previously made to Feng Shuya.
"Let her in!"
Seeing this, Xiao Chubing set aside her work and took the initiative to step away, feeling it might be time to give Ling Fan an office of his own.
Moments later, Li Mengying stood in front of Ling Fan, her heart racing as she faced the young man with an indifferent expression.
Upon seeing Li Mengying, Ling Fan couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat; he had to admit, she was truly a siren capable of causing the downfall of a nation.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Mengying kneel down with a thud, her voice tinged with grief, "Young Master Ling, it was my Li Family that was blind to your worth. If you, Young Master Ling, could be magnanimous and spare the Li Family, Meng Ying is willing to become your servant, your handmaid!"
