Chapter 104 – Like Brother, Like Sister.
Feng Shufen has asked Du Fan to send Li Xue back to Little Carnations safely and with a considerate speed so that she does not feel any dizzy on the ride. He looked at Li Xue for one last time to make sure that her complexion had been back to normal and then led her inside the car.
The driver has already taken a habit to look at Li Xue as the young master's most treasured jewel, so when he received such orders he was not at all surprised.
When Li Xue was inside the car, her mind on its own went to look more at the time when Shufen had shown his concern and care for her. There was no doubt that she felt special whenever she was with him. Her lips curled upwards to give a contented smile to her present life.
Though her life was not the best, it was the same as the one she has always dreamt of. She wanted a peaceful life, surrounded by only those people that truly cared for her. She already had enough of fake people before and has also seen the dirty consequences they can lead to, so after taking everything 5 years ago, she has always wanted to be a distant identity in their eyes.
She was in the lands of her thoughts when the car drove inside her housing locality. "Ms Li Xue, we are at your place", Du Fan said when he found her struck with her thoughts. With his polite voice, the woman was snapped out from her trance. She looked out and as notified by the driver, she was already out of her house.
She smiled in gratitude. "Thank You for helping me here!" She said as she pushed the door of the car open to step out.
The driver too reciprocated her grateful smile with his polite one and said with utmost modesty "There is nothing, Ms Li Xue. I am just complying to President Feng's orders".
That's true! Li Xue had seen and heard everything the way Mr Beelzebub had given his instructions before letting her inside the car. "Oh okay! Then I will thank President Feng myself", she said and then turned to walk back to home.
As directed by Feng Shufen, Du Fan did not move until Li Xue walked inside the house and closed the door behind herself. When he was sure he put his foot on the gas pedal and accelerated his way forward so that he could take a U-turn from the way ahead to return back to the Feng Internationals.
After entering the house, the woman directly moved to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. Returning back to the living hall, she has just taken her phone in her hands when suddenly a call entered along with a text message. Ignoring the text, for the time being, she smiled as she saw who was calling her.
"Hello! Yi Lan", she answered, putting her phone at a loudspeaker and then working her fingers to open the text message she had received. When she saw the person who had texted her just the moment when the call had entered, she could not control her lips mumbling 'Like brother, like sister!'
The text was from Feng Shufen. It stated, "Since you are already home, make sure to take proper rest. I have asked Sister Margaret to prepare a light lunch for you. Don't overwork yourself!"
Reading the text, her lips that were already smiling lifted at its peak as she replied "Thanks for looking after me President Feng, but I have already prepared lunch for myself in the morning itself. And at this moment I am fine and will make sure to take good rest".
Typing her words in reply she sent it and focused on her friend's call. "Li Xue, guess what? I am taking my flight back to the Jingling City", Feng Yi Lan said with her voice filled with excitement.
"Wow great!! That means everything is settled back to normal?" Though it was a question, Li Xue was already sure of the answer, otherwise, her friend won't be on her way back.
"Yes, it's almost done but there are still some things left. That will be handled by my brother's staff. So I am returning back", Yi Lan answered, shrugging off her shoulders on her end. She was herself amazed by her brother's sudden change of mood. Not only has he asked his men to make things back to normal soon but has also arranged a private jet for her return.
"Oh, it's fine. Then come fast, I am missing you here", Li Xue said a little dramatically.
"Hehe … I will be back soon. But that's not the thing for which I have called you", she paused for a moment and then continued, "I am calling you to inform you that today, you don't need to go and pick my chipmunk after school. I will get her myself then after treating myself with some of her cuteness, drop her back to your place".
"Yi Lan, you will already be tired from your flight. You can take her tomorrow. Don't make it hard for yourself", Li Xue said, getting a little concerned about her friend.
"It's okay. I can manage, Xiao Xue. And another thing, I have not called to take your permission, rather let you know my plans", she said and Li Xue could imagine her pouting on the other side.
"Fine! do as you want. I won't top you but remember don't let her have too many sweets, ice cream or chocolates this time. These days she is really losing her control on sweets", she agreed and then concluding the talk, disconnected the call.
Taking a long breath, she mumbled to herself. "So, I am all free till early night hours. Li Xue, let's go and take some rest. You have to go to work from the next day". She huffed and stood up with the glass of water to keep it back at the kitchen counter.
She was in the middle of her steps when suddenly she heard the doorbell rang. Her brows furrowed as her eyes looked at the wall clock that was still showing its hour hand between 11 and 12. "Who can come at this time?"
Placing the glass on the dining table, she walked towards the door. When peeped through the peephole to check who is outside, her brows furrowed more and eyes showed the hints of cold indifference.
Outside were standing three people that were struggling to maintain their sense of surroundings and elegance.
