The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 55: Avoiding

"Master, the Big Madam wants to talk," Zhang Bi said as he handed Shen Yi a mobile phone.

'The 'Great Lady' that Zhang Bi meant was Shen Yi's biological mother, Lady Yin. Shen Yi grumbled, shaking Zhang Bi's hand off a sign that he didn't want to talk. He guessed what his mother wanted to say. Must be about the match again. Shen Yi had mistakenly thought her mother had given up looking for her wife because it had been quiet for some time.

"But, the Big Madam said something was important. Sir, will you talk to him for a minute?" the Zhang Bi. She was not happy if she had to refuse Madam Yin's request.

"If you want, you'll talk. You're the only one who's his son, not me" Shen Yi refused.

Zhang Bi was forced to tell Madam Yin that his son did not want to talk. From across there, Madam Yin's voice boomed like anger. Zhang Bi moved the phone away from his ear. He resigned to become a scapegoat for the dispute of the son and mother. A few minutes later, the phone was closed.

"What did that chatty woman say?" ask Shen Yi.

"The Great Lady said two more days would fly to Cheng City. He wanted to visit Xize at once to see Master," Zhang Bi replied.

"Zhang Bi, schedule a business trip outside Cheng City for one week!"

Zhang Bi shook his head. Shen Yi had always acted silly whenever the Shen Family wanted to meet. Whether it was his mother, his father, his grandfather, or some other family member. Whenever and wherever, Shen Yi never wanted to meet them. The reason is because they always question when he will marry. Not infrequently they also offered several names to be his companion.

That was why, whenever any of his family members came to Cheng City, Shen Yi dodged as much as possible. He will reveal the reason that he is very busy with the company, even though he is a president. Or, he will go out of town and only come back when his family members return to their homes.

"But, what about Director Feng?"

Shen Yi patted her eel. Oh no, he forgot about it. The woman lives in her house, if her mother comes, the problem will be more complicated. Moreover, he knew, his mother did not like a domineering woman like Feng Shang. If they meet, his house could be destroyed. Stubbornly met with obstinacy.

"I'll tell him to go home to the Feng Family."

"But, aren't you afraid he's angry? Looking at his temperament, it seemed like he chose to destroy the house rather than return to the Feng Family."

Right too, Shen Yi thought. Feng Shang would not be willing to return to Feng Zheng's house even if it was only temporary. The woman who accompanied him must have refused firmly. Feng Shang would not want to leave his house, which in fact was a source of strength recovery for him. He was so used to living with her.

The other reason was because of Feng Ling. Ever since Feng Shang disabled her and took her holy blood back, the woman had not seen him again and had rejected all the news about him. Feng Ling seemed to be an enemy that did not need to be heard back. If he met, Feng Shang would only be ignited by emotions because he remembered Feng Ling's treatment of harming him with demonic air.

"I'll have Jingjing arrange her schedule. Let him come with me," Shen Yi broke up.

Shen Yi could only take Feng Shang with her. However, the woman cannot meet her mother. Shen Yi would not let Feng Shang be burdened by the arrival of her family back home. So, he decided to take Feng Shang out of the city.

Shen Yi then phoned Jingjing and asked her to have her arrange a schedule for Feng Shang. Jingjing asked the cause, then Shen Yi replied that there would be a business trip and she wanted Feng Shang to come with her. Jingjing objected because at Lingjing herself was busy. There was a new product that was about to launch in a few days and needed Director Feng to open the inauguration.

Shen Yi could not force it. He relented and did not bring Feng Shang along. Shen Yi hoped that Feng Shang would be so busy that he forgot to go home so that she would not meet her mother.

On the other hand, Feng Shang was signing Lingjing's new product launch contract. Jingjing was right, the woman was indeed busy with her work. Finished signing the contract, Feng Shang opened his laptop, looking for emails from other companies that had not finished reading.

His mind is not focused. Feng Shang divided his concentration in two, between thinking about how to eradicate the demons and awaken the power within Shen Yi's body as well as thinking about the company. He mistakenly replied to the email, thankfully Jingjing checked back.

"Director Feng, do you want to rest for a moment? It looks like Director Feng is out of focus," Jingjing bargained.

"Oh, okay."

Feng Shang glanced at Jingjing and found her face displaying a strange expression, as if her secretary was hiding something. Feng Shang smelled something wrong. He then asked, "What are you hiding?"

Surprised by this question. Jingjing immediately panicked. His boss was able to guess that he was hiding something. Jingjing took a step forward, hesitating. "Don't hide anything from me. Say it," asked Feng Shang.

"That's... President Shen called."

"What did he say?"

"She asked me to rearrange your schedule. He said, President Shen will be out of town for a few days and wants to take you. But, I turned it down because in a few days there will be a new product launch and Director Feng will have to attend," Jingjing honestly said. Feng Shang instantly closed his laptop screen, then looked at Jingjing sharply.

"Don't I ever tell you to ask in advance my decision? I also told you that anything related to Shen Yi should be reported to me immediately, didn't I?"

Jingjing nodded. His heart felt guilty for making the decision without disrupting him with Feng Shang first.

"I'm sorry, Director Feng."

Feng Shang got up from his seat, then left his room. Jingjing was not allowed to come or ask, but she knew where her boss was going. Jingjing then tidied Feng Shang's desk and continued her other work while waiting for her boss to return from her affairs.

Feng Shang walked towards the underground parking lot, then drove his car fast. Shen Yi must have had a reason to take him out of town for a few days. He could not believe that the man would let him come with him on Xize's business trip. There must be another reason behind this.

His car drove fast towards Xize's office. Every now and then he glanced at the watch in his hand which showed a lunch break. Recalling that, Feng Shang then turned to a restaurant. A few minutes later, he got out of there with a few paper bags containing the food he ordered from the restaurant.

One kilometer to the location of the Xize building, the highway began to be crowded. Vehicles packed the road. When the red light flashed, Feng Shang was forced to come to a stop and wait for a while. When the green light turns on, another vehicle goes back, but not with a luxury car in front of it. Feng Shang honked repeatedly, but the car did not move.

Upset at blocking the road, Feng Shang crashes his car into the car. Feeling his car being hit, the owner came out with an angry face. Feng Shang also came out, about to scold the car owner. However, he clucked when he saw the face of the car owner who was so slurred. Even the flaming red lipstick on her lips was drawn all the way to her cheeks.

"What are you doing?" ask the car owner.

"I should have asked. What the hell are you doing? You're blocking my way!" reply Feng Shang.

The car owner who was older than Feng Shang kicked the car axe furiously. You can see the back of the car dented because it was hit by Feng Shang's car. If you look, it seems that she is not an ordinary woman.

"Can't you be patient? I'm dressing up for a minute. Haish, the young man of today is so humble!" said the car owner.

Feng Shang did not respond. He returned to his car, then started the engine. The owner of the car who did not accept being hit and knocked on the glass of Feng Shang's car, told him to come out and talk about this matter until it was finished. The horn from the car behind continued buzzing asking the two of them to speed up immediately.

"Female chatty!" grunt Feng Shang. He snapped his finger, and the car owner stopped talking. The owner of the car grabbed him by the neck, then muttered because his voice was gone.

Feng Shang changed his car position to the left side of the road, then drove away leaving the owner of the car who was still shouting silently.
