Chapter 15 – Don’t Waste Your Tears.
Li Xue looked at the woman with a smile. This was once her best friend and also her best competitor. Wen Sying.
She has always thought of her more like a friend but never took her as a serious competitor. She gave more importance to her friendship but never thought that her efforts will never be returned, not even in the least percentage.
Wu Sying peered at the woman who has always been the reason because of which she faced criticisms. But it never affected Li Xue. She also told her that they were friends but never gave her any chance to outshine her.
Whenever they went anywhere together, people would always praise Li Xue while she has to face everyone's ignorance.
But Like everybody says, everyone has a day full of luck. Same came for her. Li Xue disappeared in the midst of darkness and she became the shining star of the country. The woman to gain everyone's praises.
Wen Sying never thought that she would encounter this woman once again. She was shocked but her shocked look gradually faded and her red glossy lips smiled slightly.
She was amazed by her again after 5 years. She looked at her persona. Li Xue was still unbelievably beautiful. A beauty that can still steal a man's soul. A charisma for which every woman desires for. A woman who was openly stunning, elegant and graceful.
Though she looked very plain and simple, her looks weren't at all simple. She was definitely God's most beautiful creation in this world. Her body was still in its perfect slender state where no extra fat can be found. Looking at her no one can say that she had ever seen any bad day in her life.
But there was a change in her beauty now. Before her beauty burned like raging fire, very deadly but now her eyes and skin gave a shine of purity and gentleness. Her presence has now become more alluring like her simplicity has enhanced her each feature to its height.
Wen Sying still remembers how a media outlet, who has interviewed Li Xue once captioned her beauty. It said, 'A beauty that can destroy any man, just like flames can destroy moths'.
Li Xue looked at her and gently returned back the smile, but her smile was very indifferent as if she was deliberately trying to announce to the world that there was nothing familiar was left between them. That was more like strangers meeting for the first time than any past acquaintance.
The trust of friendship was long broken between them, not that anyone tried to hold the strings tight. A rift was formed between them which can never be repaired.
Wen Sying walked to them and stood beside Zheng Wenting, deliberately wrapping her arms around his. Then smiling sweetly, she said in a concerned tone, "Li Xue where have you been for all those years? Do you know how hard we tried to find you? Even uncle and aunt were so devastated. But never mind, since now you have returned you must go back and meet them. They really missed you"
Hearing her say it like this, Li Xue gave a mocking laughter, "Really? But I thought they were quite happy after adopting a new daughter in the family."
Wen Sying eyes widened in shock. She never expected her to say these words. This was not her. That mocking laughter and those cruel words were something that was not like Li Xue.
"Li Xue, it's not like that. You are taking us wrong. When you left, your parents were all alone. So I just took care of them for you. And also because I always treated them as my family", she reasoned looking at the man standing beside her with teary eyes.
"Wenting, explain to her. She is taking us wrong", she urged tugging his arms slightly.
At this moment a soft little voice came, attracting everyone's attention towards her. "Mama! Why is this Aunty crying? Is she hurt anywhere?"
Li Xue looked at her daughter and smiled, "No baby, there is nothing like that. Aunty is just trying to prove something with her tears. She isn't hurt." Explaining the words to her daughter she looked up towards Wen Sying whose eyes were on the little girl.
There was confusion in her eyes. "This is…"
Li Wei quickly replied with a slight bow, "Hello Aunty! I am Li Wei, nice to meet you. You must also be my Mama's classmate like Uncle Wenting"
Wen Sying blinked at the little girl and then gazed at Wenting for a confirmation. Li Xue noticed this and said with a smile, "Ah you would never change Sying. If you really wanted to confirm, you should have asked me directly. There was no way in which I won't be replying to your words."
"This is my daughter. Have you got your answer now? If you both are satisfied then I will take my leave. I know it will be impossible but still I hope I don't have to see this pair of familiar faces again", she said and for the last turn to leave. As she walked her luscious chocolate brown hair swayed, enhancing the gracefulness of her steps.
But then suddenly the little girl stopped in the middle and looked back. Her eyes were trained on Wen Sying like she has something to say to her. Li Xue was also confused at her daughter's expression.
She looked at Wen Sying and then again at her daughter, "Baby is there something you want to say?"
The little girl instantly nodded her head in 'yes'.
"What is it?" she asked.
Li Wei looked at Wen Sying and said with a serious tone. Her expressions was saying that her words were quite important. After building a perfect serious air around her, the little girl started, "Aunty, tears shouldn't be used to prove your words. My Mama says, they are the gifts God has given us to express our true emotions. So please be kind to your tears. Don't waste it"
Li Xue smiled at her daughter. This girl really knew when to apply her words.
Both Wen Sying and Zheng Wenting were dumbfounded as they looked at the little girl. She was so little but all her words were so righteous.
