Chapter 165 – Why Is Li Wei Has Not Taken Her Father’s Family Name?
Qi Shuai looked at the four people sitting in front of his eyes. Without any doubt, the job assigned to him was tough. But he has to save his face in front of the little girl. Or else he couldn't be sure if in future he will have any dignity and value to show off.
Taking in a deep breath, he eyed the scene with some confidence left inside. 'Yes, Qi Shuai! You can do it!' he chanted inside to give his weak soul some hope to strengthen. Looking at him gearing up like he was going for a war fight, Li Wei also encouraged him in her way, "Uncle Cutiee, you are the best one after daddy. You can do it. Fighting!"
She said raising her hands a little up to show her encouraging support. Qi Shuai nodded to her. Their hidden gestures were caught by Li Xue's eyes. "Li Wei, now what are you planning. You better not do something naughty again" She said, not knowing what her little devil was up to this time.
Feng Shufen's eyes also went in their direction when he heard Li Xue mentioning it. His warm gaze did not change for the little one but became a blazing glare when caught the chances that his friend, Qi Shuai being the reason behind his little piece's getting scolded.
'What? It is definitely not me. I did nothing. Don't blame me', Qi Shuai quickly said with his eyes, shrugging his shoulders back in innocence.
Little Li Wei pouted when she heard her mother misunderstanding her. "Mama, when did I become naughty in your eyes? Didn't you say that I am the sweetest one for you in this whole world? Then when did I become naughty?" She complained. Her eyes became teary but Li Xue knew well that her daughter will not let her tears be wasted over such a small thing.
"Sweetie, you are the sweetest one for me without any doubt but you will remain the sweetest only when you finish your dinner quietly, without stirring up any trouble. So be quick to finish the servings on the plate", Li Xue answered her daughter's questions, effortlessly. She knew all well to tackle her questions.
The little girl nodded to her mother with a little disappointment and then went back to finish her plate. She has to remain her Mama's sweetest obedient daughter. Everything went a little silent for a moment until a call rang in the room.
Feng Shufen looked at his phone and gently excused himself, looking at the woman sitting by his side, "I will take this call. Excuse me!" he asked and then pushing the chair back a little, he went to take the call. Seeing him like that, Qi Shuai was really speechless. What does this mean? Were all of them nonexistent to his eyes?
He shook his head and caught the sight of the young lad, who was sitting all silent and polite. Looking at him like this, he almost rolled his eyes as he mocked internally, 'Did he really think that his pretense of mannerism can really fool us? Don't we know what an infamous tyranny piece he has become in the market'
"Hey Yujian, why are you so silent now? From what I have heard, you are definitely not this serious and silent one in your usual days. Did the revelation of your supervisor being your Aunt hit you hard? Or are you shocked seeing your uncle being so caring and possessive for her" Qi Shuai asked, being all direct with his words. He needs to make this young boy aware of the consequences before the Devil makes his ruthless move against him.
Hearing him mention that, both Li Xue and Chen Yujian coughed hard. Li Xue's eyes suddenly moved to glare at the overdramatic Director yelling inside, 'Director Qi, can you please put some thought to words before saying them like this?'
With little hesitation and anxiousness filled in his voice, Chen Yujian said "You are taking everything wrong, Uncle Shuai. Why would I be shocked? I have always known that Uncle was a caring person. There is nothing wrong with getting shocked by this. I am just surprised that how come I was still unaware of all this information?" Saying his words, he turned to gaze at Li Xue. His eyes, still accusing her of something.
Not able to take that gaze of his anymore, she was about to ask but at this moment the woman who has remained silent all this while spoke. Her tone casting some hidden accusations based on her own drawn assumptions. "Li Wei!" The little girl's head instantly shot up when she heard her name.
As Ryan spelt the little girl's name, her eyes went to look between Li Xue and the little girl suspiciously. Li Xue also looked in her direction when she heard her and caught her suspicious gaze on her … "Sorry Ms Kim, is there anything you want to tell or ask her"
Ryan shook her head at first but then again brought her words. "It's nothing major. I just wanted to say that she is really cute and adorable. I really like her" She complimented, to which showing her polite manners, Li Wei showed her gratitude. "Thank You, Aunt Ryan! I am all like my mother!"
Saying this she again went back to finish her food, obeying her mother's words. Looking at her suddenly Ryan felt a wave of envy washing over her heart. Why was Li Xue so lucky? Why did she have the things and people that could make others envy?
Getting all burdened and pressured by her own jealousy, she said, "But I wonder how come she has taken your surname and not Shufen's? I mean children usually take the family name of their father right? But with Li Wei, she has Li in her name …"
Hearing the woman suddenly mention this, Qii Shuai got all anxious. This story was a little sensitive, not to mention dealing with it in the absence of Feng Shufen. What if things went out of the way? How will he be able to take the blame?
To save the situation until Shufen is back, he quickly steps in to stop the topic. "Hey Ryan, what does that matter? It's just a name and Feng Shufen already introduced her as his daughter. Do you still need to provoke that topic?"
"Shuai, I am just asking. Why are you making it so serious? You are making me look like I am doubting Li Xue for bringing such a cute daughter to falsely claim her to be Shufen's. I mean, your words are suggesting the thoughts that way. It's making me look like an evil one here" Ryan said, cutting off his excuses and then turning to look at Li Xue, she continued, "Please pardon me Li Xue, but you know curiosity often kills. I am just being a little curious, nothing else. You won't take me wrong right?"
