Liu Han on the other hand looked at Li Fei and she noticed that she had trimmed her hair. She looked at her with pure envy because even in the ugly prisoner's uniform and messy short hair, she still looked beautiful. "What a surprise," Li Fei spoke first to break the long silence. "I can tell you didn't expect me, Li Fei. Look where life has brought you, just where you deserve to be," said Liu Han with a sweet smile. "Thanks for the kind words, Liu Han," she answered. This irritated Liu Han and she said," You know what, I used to wish you death but now I realize that this punishment is way better. Seeing you in this filthy place with no hope is a sight to behold."
This somehow surprised Li Fei. She knew that they didn't like each other and that they were always in a competition but not to the point of wishing death upon themselves. "Well, what can I say? I'm shocked," she replied sarcastically.
Liu Han glared at her before saying," I wonder what you're planning to do with your filthy life after leaving this place because as far as I know, your father is no longer the CEO of Li enterprises."
She caught the surprise look on her face and continued," Oh!! You mean you didn't know? He's no CEO anymore. It's also said that Daddy dearest has only ten percent shares in the company." Keeping silence for a while, Li Fei simply said," Thanks for relaying the information." "And before I forget, your parents moved out of the mansion and rumor has it that they sold it. They now stay in a tiny condo," she said happiness evident in her voice.
Li Fei didn't know what to say, she just looked at her. She was honestly speechless at the moment. Her parents had never mentioned anything like that to her and she assumed that it might have happened during the time she had stopped communicating with them.
"I had come to see how pitiful you are and indeed, I'm satisfied with what I found. Before I can take my leave, I would like to ask you to forget about Hu Feng because we are planning on taking our relationship to the next level. Who knows, by the time you come back, we might already be married and having kids,"she said as she stood up to leave.
The moment Li Fei reached her cell, she informed Liling about everything. "I have to talk to them but I don't want to ask the doctor for his help. And even if I wanted to, I don't think he would agree to help me considering the number of times he has sent for me and I rejected," she said. "I know but you should try him. He is understanding for what I know," said Liling and she thought about it.
Caihong who was in his office was informed by a nurse that someone wanted to see him and he reluctantly agreed. When the person entered, he quickly stood up. He couldn't believe that she was here. The last time he saw her was about four months ago when he entered the prisoners section with an excuse of looking for the head guard but he simply caught a glimpse of her.
"Li Fei," he called before going to where she stood and hugged her tightly. Li Fei was taken aback. She didn't see it coming. A while later, she tried freeing herself from his grip but when he didn't let go, she let him be.
A long while later, Caihong let her go and he said," Li Fei, how have you been?" "I'm fine, Caihong. You shouldn't worry about me. How about you?" she asked back. "I've not been fine at all. I missed you like crazy," he said.
"I did too but we have no option. Caihong, I need a favor from you, please," she said. "Anything. Just ask for anything," he said attentively.
"I need to speak to my parents. I promise this is the last time it's just that I have to ask them about something urgent," she explained to him. "You know that I don't mind however much you disturb me. Is there anything wrong with you or at home?" "I'm fine and it's nothing serious. Just family issues," she said and when he gave her the phone, she went to talk to her parents privately.
When she asked them about the things Liu Han said to her, they both denied saying that those were baseless rumors. She sensed that there was more to it but she decided not to insist.
"Thank you so much Caihong. I have to go before anyone sees me and informs the Warden about it," she said after giving him back his phone. "Li Fei, wait. Can I see you in the evening?" he asked expectantly. "I'm afraid it can't happen, Caihong," she objected.
"Okay. I have something for you," he said as he pulled out the drawer and got out a small gift bag. "What is this?" she asked. "Go on and check."
On opening, Li Fei found that it was an expensive phone. "I got it sometime back. I was looking for an opportunity to give it to you but I found none." "I can't take it Caihong. Thank you so much though," she said. "Why? You need to talk to my parents yet you're afraid of coming here and perhaps, it's the safest way for us to communicate," he said. "I know but I don't want any trouble with the head guard. She has tormented me enough," she said. "Take it and leave the rest to me. I will be there for you incase anything happens. I promise," he said. Li Fei was convinced and she accepted to take the phone.
"He's so thoughtful. I told you Li Fei," Liling praised him. "I don't know if I did the right thing. I just hope the head guard doesn't find out about it," she said worriedly. "Don't worry. We shall be as discreet as possible," Liling assured her and she nodded. Li Fei immediately contacted her parents informing them that she had gotten a phone for them to communicate.
