Li Xue heard Shin You Jun and humd. Her deanor didn't change as she had already been partially inford about it by Gao Fan. But seeing her so nonchalant, the person on the other side of the call was all baffled.
But not minding it too much at first, Shin You Jun decided to give a whole gist of the matter first. "Since you are new to the family, you may not know. So let tell you the importance of the Shen family, Elder Sister. In previous years, the Shen family has been the one looking into financial matters for us. Though Pa often goes through their maintained files, that's mostly for the formality as only their command rules in the end. So now that their standing seems shaken, the whole family is been in ss."
He explained and once again, Li Xue humd saying a very casual "Okay!" in response. Though her tone was deep, in her voice, there was only nonchalance that was representing her eased deanor.
Things didn't seem right to the boy, so feeling all suspicious about her tone, he asked, "Hey, are you even on our side? Or are you just pretending it? Do you even know how crucial it is? Soone is attacking Shens, the financial pillars of the royals. And right now, no one is able to guess who is behind them. If this continues, the whole of the family will be in danger. We … we may not …"
"Take it easy, little brother. The royal family isn't new in the country that its existence could be easily shaken. Furthermore, isn't it just the Shens who are getting attacked? let them bear for so ti. I am sure given their expertise and experience from all these years, soon they would discover a way to recover."
Li Xue said and, in her voice, there was a mystery that was keeping half of her words mysterious. Shin You Jun wasn't too immature to not feel that mystery. He heard her words and felt it as well. "You … what do you an by that? Do you know what is happening and who is behind it?"
"Dear Crown Prince, I am not a seer who could see what others can't. It's just that whatever I said was based on what I have learned from my husband. Just a bit of basic of the industry which intends to say a long-established business can't be shaken easily, at least not until the company holds the people with expertise and experience." Li Xue said and her reason like that easily satisfied the suspicion of the boy.
Shin You Jun coughed lightly to dodge the embarrassnt. "*Ahem* So you also know things about business. I didn't know that."
Li Xue smiled. "It's fine. I just know a bit of it so you were partially right to doubt my tone. Anyway, now be responsible. Since you are the Crown Prince and the family is in a ss now, make sure to put your studies to use to assist His Majesty first. He might need you at the mont." She said, suddenly getting all serious towards the end of her words.
And hearing that serious tone of hers, even made the boy get into a similar role. Humming to her in agreent, he at once agreed to say like a responsible person. "Don't worry, I would look at everything carefully so that Pa doesn't have any stress later."
"Great then I would look forward to your performance." She said before disconnecting the call.
Feng Yi Lan who had been hearing Li Xue's words all this while, only stared at her trying to guess the words of the other side. She guessed it partially but the other part was still a mystery to her. So, when she saw Li Xue finally putting down her phone, she asked based on her understanding.
"Are you now working on their problems?"
Li Xue looked at her for a mont but then shook her head with a casual smile that didn't hold anything deep. "Nope, I am just trying to not bring any chaos to the family where I would soon be getting included." She said and understanding her words, Feng Yi Lan nodded, rounding her lips in an 'o' shape.
"Seems like you have almost accepted your new family. But are they the sa as you?"
Li Xue smiled at her question and her smile was all that conveyed the things to Yi Lan. But Yi Lan was still not satisfied, so she asked again, "Even that little brother, who called you earlier?"
Li Xue paused. She thought for a while before rembering sothing, she said, "Not sure of him. Maybe he doesn't know the truth yet." She said and her conclusion took her back in ti when she first t the boy. Though in the attitude of Shin Tingming and Chen Rui she always felt that there was sothing amiss, in the boy's attitude, there seed no adulteration. That only ant one thing that he may not know the things yet.
Then will he …
Before Li Xue could think deeply about it, almost reading her thought, Feng Yi Lan ca to pat her shoulders to say, "Don't worry, he is too young and has already gotten so accustod to you. He wouldn't mind the truth. Furthermore, hearing the whole of the things from the past none could bla you since you have also been a victim in it."
Li Xue looked at her and nodded, before looking at the clothes that were still kept on the side. "I know that, but I think you have forgotten sothing." You have yet to give the dress for alteration. If not prepared on the ti, I am not sure about my new build relationships in the royal family; but sure my future build relationship with my in-laws would be at loss."
Feng Yi Lan's eyes as well trailed to look at the dress before checking the ti on her watch. Rubbing the back of her neck, she half-closed her eyes to say with a bit of embarrassnt, "Aye, I know I almost lost track of the ti. But isn't this normal since after so many days we are eting and there is a lot I have not heard from you?"
"I know. Yi Lan. But we can talk about it later. For now, let's think about your store's staff who would be tortured by you if they are unable to work on this dress on ti?" Li Xue said, guessing the very right thing of the scenario.
Feng Yi Lan pouted, understanding her to say. Then taking the dress, she pursed her lips to reply, "Don't worry, I would make sure that the dress gets delivered to you on ti and at the sa ti, I would try to not torture those people in the store. But rember, our talk isn't over yet. Later when we et, let know more about those princesses."
She said almost ready to leave. Li Xue nodded to her with a smile before saying, "Don't worry, except you there is no one else with whom I can gossip about those princesses.. So when we get ti, we would definitely talk about them."
