Chapter 209 – War Against The World Even If The Failure Is Decided At The End.
Li Xue was not the one to welcome the insults. Though she would smile to those insults, making the people misinterpret her smile as her acceptance to those accusations. But in actuality that smile of hers will just be the last sober warning she would give to them.
She was about to answer Ning Meiling's insulting words in her own unique style but before she could, a roar from behind came to surprise the two women. "Dare to say that again and you won't have any tongue to use in your future!"
Li Xue was taken aback when heard the familiar voice. "Yi Lan!" She mumbled to herself as she turned around to find her friend standing, fuming in rage. Oh, God! How can she forget that she was coming to pick her up?
Feng Yi Lan was standing at the entrance, with her fists clenched at the side and eyes red in anger. For a moment it felt like it was not Li Xue, who has been insulted here rather it was her. Just with the tight expression on her face, Li Xue knew that her friend had already lost her sanity in her anger, fueled further with the previous stress she was already having from before.
Ning Meiling was also surprised. She was not able to contemplate the things in the right way. Was she seeing things now? Of course, she knew who the person was standing in front of her at this moment. How can she not? Who won't know the best fashion trendsetter in the country? The CEO of Aurora Fashions!
The little princess of Fengs, Feng Yi Lan!
But why was she here? And did her threatening words from moments before was directed to her? No, no, that can't be possible! This was the first time of their meeting. How can those words be directed to her? She has never dared to offend her and there is no way she would come here and out lash her without any reason.
But all her doubts vanished when the scene proceeded further in the drama. "What made you think that you can insult my Li Xue with those words?" Feng Yi Lan yelled as she charged forward filled with rage.
Ning Meiling's eyes got shut close thinking that she might be receiving a hit on her face but right at this moment, a soft, coaxing voice got into her ears. Though it was not directed for her, still she felt an assurance coming to her heart. Like some guardian angel has come to her rescue!
"Yi Lan! That's okay! Calm down first. Chef Ning is just being a little infuriated as her friend got dismissed from her job today. And she thinks it's because of me. That's it! Now calm down, you are looking very ugly like this", Li Xue said to soothe her friend's anger by holding her back.
She could feel Feng Yi Lan's anger by the way her body was shaking under her hold. She was right before, there must have been something else with her that has made her mood depressed and agitated to this extent or she won't have lost her composure like this.
Ning Meiling was too stunned to say anything. She could just see the things unfolding in front of her eyes. Suddenly her thoughts about Li Xue changed. This woman couldn't be that simple if she has been so close and friendly to someone like Ms Feng Yi Lan.
"Her infuriation? Who is she to make us take that? And if she is really grieving for her friend's lost job, she better control her grief to her boundaries. Or I won't care to turn her whole life into her worst grief" Shooting her each and every word out with an authoritative power, Feng Yi Lan was making sure to let this petty Chef know how possessive she was for her friend.
She would definitely not want her to repeat it again. If she still dares, then she should better wait to receive the worst from her.
"I … I … Ms Feng, it's noth…" Ning Meiling tried to apologize at first but then thinking that it would be better to explain her side first, she changed her speech, only to be cut off the moment she started.
"I don't care how your friend got the dismissal from her job. And believe me, I don't give fu*king damn to it. But in no way I would take anyone pushing the blame on my Li Xue or use such insulting words for her. I would just rip off every tongue that even thinks to make a move against her. My Xue has much better things to do than messing with good for nothing people, like you all. Did you understand that?"
Feng Yi Lan did not care how unreasonable she sounded with those words, but with Li Xue involved in the topic, she would never wait to find reasons before retaliating the people messing with her. She has no fear in accepting that Li Xue was her best friend and she was hell protective for her. If people think her brainless for it, then she would welcome them to think that way.
She could not just let the history repeat it again. She couldn't just lose her friend once again because of some trashy people. Earlier, she was not with her, so she wasn't able to do anything for her to help. But now since she was here and was not going to leave her in any way, she would also not hesitate to tackle down such flies around.
Li Xue was also stumped at her words. This woman has become really savage with her words, but can she blame her. Nope, she already knew how possessive her friend was over her and there was no way she could blame her as she would have also been the same for her. Maybe, friendship was just like that. If the world is against your friend, you won't care but start a war against the world, even after knowing that it would be you losing at the end.
Patting her friend's shoulders to calm her down, she said, "Fine, fine … I understand that you care for me a lot but can you be a little respectful to the place. Thank God we are standing at the back entrance or else … were you thinking to make our customers run away, seeing you like this. Now come on, I am ready to leave. Let's go!"
Li Xue thought that it would only be better if she doesn't provoke the matter anymore. She has something to say to Ning Meiling, but it would only be better if she takes some time for that. Right at this moment, her friend's issue was more important to attend.
Feng Yi Lan gave a last glare to Ning Meiling before she nodded and hooked her arms with Li Xue and left.
