Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1029 - Rich Family Women Don't Do Bargains.

"How are you feeling now?" Lillian asked. Her brows were still tugged together in concern as her eyes were not leaving the girl without confirming her health.

Zhang Xiaotong's face was still a bit sweaty. Though she has taken her dose of the pill, her state still does not look stable. "D-Don't worry, I will be f-fine. First, g-go and lock the door. O-Or else it will get worse if someone sees us." She said and the assistant quickly walked to close the door.

Once closed, she turned around and with some fear written on her face, she said walking back to the woman's side, "Xiaotong, this shouldn't go for long. Look at your condition. You clearly need a doctor's assistance. I will right away book an appointment for you." She said before bending a bit to get her phone that was kept on the table, just in front of Zhang Xiaotong.

Taking the phone in her hand, she had almost dialed the number to the doctor, but right at the moment, Zhang Xiaotong struggled to stop her.

Snatching the phone from her hands, she disconnected the call. "Lillian, you can't call any doctor.? Neither I need an appointment, nor I am going to see him. So, it's unnecessary." She said, before keeping the phone back on the table.

"But Xiaotong, your state is worsening. We can't take the risk. Furthermore, didn't you say you would need more medicines. We would have to go and take it from the doctor itself." Not understanding the reason, Lillian could only persuade more. But looking at the unfazed expression of the woman, she could say that none of her persuasion was working on her.

Shaking her head, Zhang Xiaotong rejected. "No, we can't do that."

"Why?" Almost feeling all frustrated, Lillian asked. She so wanted to put some mind in her head, but the position she held was really too normal to force her into anything. Zhang Xiaotong didn't fail to notice her tone. She raised her eyes to look at her and the poor assistant at once felt guilty. "I-I am sorry. I was just thinking of your health. Raising my voice at you has not been my intention."

"My mother has got someone to spy over me. Our every move will be monitored. In a situation like this, if we visit a doctor, there is a risk of my mother finding out. So we have to be careful. Don't mention doctor for a while." Zhang Xiaotong spoke, as slowly and slowly the color of her face returned. Her eyes looked dark as if she was there in the thoughts of something really serious. Serious far above her life.

"But, Xiaotong …"

"Enough Lillian. I already made myself clear. I am not going to see any doctor. As for the pills, arrange a way that couldn't even be seen by the spy of my mother. Be alert. In no way, I want anyone to know about my health. Do you get it?" Sharply interrupting, Zhang Xiaotong made herself very much clear to the girl.

And Lillian could only nod to her words. She couldn't dare to say more. Nodding, she could only accept, "Okay, I will go and see how to get your pills. There are not many left in that bottle." She said, giving a small bow of head before leaving.

On the other side, Zhang Qian Lan was in her room, sitting on the rocking chair and pondering over everything she had witnessed in the last some days. Especially the change in the attitude and personality of her daughter.

Studying everything multiple times in her thoughts, she reached out for her phone to make the call. In just the first few rings, the call was received.

"Qinrou, I accept the deal you have asked for, but you have to make sure to stand by your promise. I don't need to know what way you use but make your stepson marry my daughter. I don't want to see her losing in front of a simple model."

She said and from the other side, Zhen Qinrou pealed historic laughter. "Haha … Though I have known that you would change your words soon, Mrs. Zhang, still I never expected it to come this soon. Hasn't it been less than a day?"

"Qinrou, you …"

"Fine, fine, I like Xiaotong very much. So I haven't mind your rejection yesterday. Don't worry, I will help her out in the family. Not just me, several other relatives will be on her side." Zhen Qinrou assured and in her voice, there was no longer the curtain of elegance and goodness. She was presenting her real self to the lady. And it was enough to let anyone know with how transparency the two women might have talked yesterday.

Zhang Qian Lan nodded. "Fine then, I will call my brother's son soon. Later you decide and arrange for your daughter to meet him. I will make sure that once things get finalized between them, she gets treated well in our family."

She said and on the call, Zhen Qinrou gave a long hum, before adding, "But that's not the only thing I asked for, Mrs. Zhang. I hope you remember the whole of our deal and don't make any efforts in bargaining."

Zhang Qian Lan's fingers got clenched. Though she was feeling a rage burning inside, just for the sake of her daughter, she was willing to endure. "Rich family woman like us don't do bargains. But I can understand, you won't understand that thing Qinrou, given your previous background. So here, I assure you that I will make sure to give you whatever you have asked for." She said before disconnecting the call straight away.

If that's what is necessary to keep her daughter calm and safe, she would not hesitate in dealing with a cheap lady like Zhen Qinrou. In the past, she used to tolerate her for the sake of Xiaotong, now for her happiness, she would try her best to keep good cooperation with her.

Feeling all stressed thinking about it, she closed her eyes while resting her head on the back of the chair when suddenly a voice from the door interrupted her. "Ma, what were you talking to Aunty Zhen? What deal were you discussing?"
