Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 536 - Her enemies are joining hands.

Li Xue's lips curled up to give an elegant smile on her face as she turned slightly to the side to face the woman, with Chen Yujian and Mia standing slightly behind her. "Chef Ning! Definitely, it has not been long. It was just a few days back we met", she greeted in a sweeter tone but her eyes didn't make any effort to hide the sarcasm, she was keeping behind.

Ning Meiling has never learnt to give in to the arrogance of others, so when she saw Li Xue's attitude, she did not back down rather walk forward with all the haughtiness she had in herself. "Indeed, Chef Li, it was just the other day when I got to know what type of woman, in reality, you are!"

Li Xue's brows got raised a little as she heard the choice of the woman's words. Something piqued her in those words but she chose to show her oblivion at front. "Oh really? Yeah, I have not forgotten that Chef Ning has long taken me as an interesting subject of her interest. I hope you must be enjoying it already". She said, going all nonchalant both in words and attitude.

Behind Li Xue, Mia almost gave out laughter when heard Li Xue's sweet insult to the witchy chef. But then again controlled herself when saw the woman glowering at her. Her steps moved to get behind Li Xue in an attempt to hide as she meekly peeked at Ning Meiling.

"Li Xue, see, you are leaving me alone here and now that she will become my Head Chef, she will roast me down alive. What do you think, should I resign from this job and join something else?" The young girl said, keeping her voice in a light whisper, nearer to Li Xue's ears.

Li Xue pressed her both lips together as she looked behind at the girl over her shoulders. Mia blinked her eyes innocently, showing her helplessness at the situation.

Leaving Sweet Delicacy to join some other? The woman shook her head at her childish thought and then reverted her eyes back at Ning Meiling at front. Putting a smile over her lips, she said, "Chef Ning, though I know that you have very strict professionalism and you have been a great supervisor, still I would like to ask you to be a little liberal to my interns. They will be under your care from now on".

Li Xue said in a tone of request to which Ning Meiling just hmphed internally.

Liberal to them! Only in their dreams. She would let them know their places soon. She has yet not forgotten the insults she has got in the past days when they were standing against her. Ning Meiling thought internally as her eyes went to first dread Mia and then at Chen Yujian standing behind.

The arrogant stance of the young boy did not waver even at the look of her vicious eyes, as if he was too sure of his power and authority. There was no way he would be going to accept someone's dominance over himself.

Li Xue also did not miss those eyes, neither did she miss the intentions behind them. Some people really didn't care to know the right professional attitude. Professionalism should never mix personal grievances. Breathing in deeply, she let it out and then added on, "Don't worry Chef Ning. They will not be troubling you for long".

At her words, Ning Meiling paused for a second. "What do you mean?"

Li Xue smiled tenderly at her question as she said, "The meaning is pretty simple, Chef Ning. Since they have been my responsibility. I cannot leave them simply on your shoulders. So, I have already proposed a suggestion in front of Director Huo. Mia has been pretty good in the beverage section and I have seen her quite closely to know that now she could handle her own small separate corner in Sweet Delicacy, after all, beverages are not included in desserts." She moved a little to the side to look at Mia and gave her a nod of understanding.

"And as for Yujian, I don't think I have to fear for him. He is already capable of handling things for himself. He has been perfect and very precise in his work, so I am sure that you won't have any problem with him. Just a few more months of his internship is left and I know he would come out with flying colours." Li Xue said. Her words, clearly indicating what the boy's skills were up to.

"You … are you threatening me, Chef Li?" Ning Meiling gritted her teeth. She was again getting defeated. How come every time in front of this woman she was the one at the losing end.

Feigning at once her best innocence, Li Xue shook her head as she said, "Definitely not, Chef Ning. What capability do I have to threaten you? I was just unburdening you with my responsibilities".

"Unburdening me from my responsibilities? Huh? How kind you pretend to be when you have been such a vixen behind", Ning Meiling could no longer hold herself back. She looked at Mia and Chen Yujian, who looked clearly agitated at her words. Really? The woman has got the skills to tame them to this extent, especially the Young Master of the Chen family.

"Chef Ning, mind your words. Can you not be a little mindful of your words? You are the Head Chef and you are talking this way. Is this the way to …" Mia tried to come up with her words. Though she was fearful of the woman's position, she would never be an ungrateful girl to see her friend getting insulted. Li Xue has always been so nice to her.

"And who are you to make me know my limits? Don't you know I stand in a superior position to you? Or just because you got a small corner of your own in Sweet Delicacy, you are thinking yourself to be a match for me? Don't forget, it's just a small corner" Ning Meiling cut her off harshly.

Li Xue was amused looking at her that way. So, she was not wrong and neither was the information she received the other day. Wen Sying has started to take desperate action in her nervousness. Now her enemies are joining forces to come at her together. Nice and Impressive!

But did they really think that they could beat her just like that? Her lips curled up to play a devilish cunning smile as her eyes stared at the woman. It was now her time to plot things well.
