Chapter 175 – Most Mischievous Question Of The Era.
Li Xue never wanted to follow after Ryan but when she saw her leaving her handbag behind, she excused herself and went to follow her. She already had enough with her today and no more wanted to argue. Feng Shufen's behaviour towards her was not her concern and she was not going to intervene in that. And feeling pity for her was the last thing she has thought of.
"Ms Kim!" She called to make the lady halt in her steps. Taking her steps forward she thought to get near her but when she heard her pushing the blame of all her grief on her, she could not control her eyes rolling and lips leaving a chuckle.
Was this woman for real? How can she be such a dumb headed to not know where she had gone wrong?
"Are you sure that it's truly me to be blamed in this scenario, Ms Kim?" She asked as she strolled towards her giving her words in a lazy tone. "Here! I have come to return you, your handbag which you were leaving behind", she added, extending her expensive Louis Vuitton.
When people are facing failure or disappointment in their life, no matter how sympathetic or helpful the people around them are, they will only take their concern as their mockery.
Same was happening with Ryan. Though Li Xue's words were plain and simple with slight hints of sympathy in it, the only thing the woman felt from those were arrogance and mockery. Turning on her heels, she looked at Li Xue with the same accusation that her words were holding for her.
"Are you not?" She asked again, trying to match Li Xue's air of attitude with her crumpled air of haughtiness. "It has been because of you that I am like this. Or else what do you think?" She said, getting weak again, failing to keep her confident demeanour.
Li Xue looked at her and shook her head, "Blaming others for our own faults is the only thing that makes us weak from inside, Ms Kim. And look at yourself right now" Li Xue said taking a pause as she took a step back and then gestured to her to take a look at herself from top to bottom, adding her words at the end, "You have become a perfect example for that. I think this is not the same woman I have seen the other day at Feng Internationals"
Ryan heard her and huffed a breath out with a chuckle of contempt. Folding her arm across her chest, she looked at her in disdain. "Who do you think you are preaching here? You are not a friend to advise me and not a saint in my eyes to preach me so you better back off. Can't you see, you have been the reasons for all my pains here. If not you …"
"If not me then too … then too there is no way Shufen have taken you as someone more than an acquaintance" Before even Ryan could get to finish her words, Li Xue completed it for her. "There is nothing to blame me for. I have been back to this city for only a week or so now. If there had been something really possible between you two, then it had never been me in between. Don't you feel that? It's the most obvious thing here".
"You … are you doubting my skills". Ryan words rolled out in rage, without even her realizing it. When Li Xue heard her, she was all stumped as to her way of thinking. This woman … is she simply trying to embarrass the whole womanship?
"Ms Kim, can you please tell me about which skills are you talking about? Because I never thought of you to be any such woman. And above all, I never took Feng Shufen as a man with such low dignity". This time her words were harsh enough to snap the woman out to face the embarrassment.
Ryan felt wordless for a second, not knowing how to respond anymore. But that was not going to stop her for a long time. Soon she got back on her usual asinine side as she started, "Li Xue, don't make it look like you are some saint because you are definitely not. Didn't you also use your skill to get him to favour you? Using your pretty daughter just because she looks a little similar to Shufen"
Li Xue could no longer handle this vacuous lady anymore. She just had enough for a day and she has no brain left to waste on her anymore. Rubbing the space between her brows, she said with her eyes closed. "Just a little similar? I thought my WeiWei looked all like her Daddy. Not only her eyes, in fact, the way she carries herself is all like him. How can she not be like him? After all, she is his daughter and is created to be like him. Furthermore, Shufen's genes are too strong to go waste"
As the woman completed her words, a lazy sly smirk covered her lips. She never wanted to lie like this but she has become too irritated to handle this woman now. Since this whole conversation could be brought to an end like this then why not! Mr Beelzebub has used her so many times, why can't she also use him for once? He should not have any issues with it!
"This can't be. She can't be his daughter. I know him the best. There is no way …" Ryan was too shocked to know what she was saying. Her inner strength was forcing her to take Li Xue's words seriously but she still was rejecting those thoughts.
Suddenly Li Xue leaned forward towards her in confusion, taking her by surprise as she asked the most mischievous question of the era. "What? Don't say that … I mean … Are you telling me that Shufen has lost his ability now?"
At those words, Ryan was taken aback. She definitely did not mean something like this. But before she could say something or Li Xue could get herself straightened up, a loud throat-clearing cough was heard from a distance, making both ladies go stiff. Li Xue's face turned pale when she realized what had actually happened.
