Chapter 543 – Some Old Folks That They Are Making The Young Generation Believe.
Feng Yi Lan was really concerned about Li Xue. Her friend has been too precious to her heart and in no way, she would want to see her hurt because of some stupid familial conspiracies that has always remained prevalent in the high families like Fengs.
But no matter how much she gets dissatisfied of the thoughts, she knew well that at the end of the day being with her brother, Li Xue was doomed to face everything.
The Feng family tree was not too big but even with a few scattered family relatives around, they have to keep everyone's thoughts in check. After all, that is how she has always seen her father working in all these years. Giving everyone importance and taking everyone's consent into consideration.
And right at the point, most of the family relatives' thoughts are already bent in the favor of Zhang Xiaotong, the high class miss from the reputed Zhang family. So, no matter whoever gets presented to them, they would simply not go easy to accept her, omitting the already favorable one out of their thoughts. All thanks to her mother, who has done nothing better but this.
Feng Yi Lan thought in herself as she looked pitifully at her friend. Right now, Li Xue has been really kept very preciously under the care of his brother, she could tell just looking at the shine in her eyes. But what about tomorrow? She would be there for her and so would be her brother. But would only their support be enough for her to rise in the family? She could not be sure of that.
Her doubts were not because she had questions on the courage or the merits of Li Xue. She knew her friend has got an abundance of knowledge and skills, with which she could easily take down hundreds of high society girls. One Zhang Xiaotong was an easy target she has got to hit. But there was something where her Li Xue lacked and that one deficiency was enough to bring her the hazardous weakness.
And that weakness was nothing else but a good familial support! Omit the word good, she doesn't even carry a right family by her side to support her. Except for the little Weiwei, she has none to stand for her in the name of family. Her heart ached when she thought everything like this.
When Feng Yi Lan was busy thinking of the hurdles that were destined to come sooner or later, Li Xue was intrigued about something else.
"Crazy stories like?" she asked, lightly rubbing her chin down. "Did they have some kind of little history together? I doubt that" she said, getting all curious about what Feng Yi Lan was talking about. If it had been something same as the one Ning Meiling has weaved in Sweet Delicacy, then it would be another hilarious joke to laugh at.
Feng Yi Lan was snapped at her words. "Umm … that I am not sure of, but in our every annual family get-togethers, we have heard people chiming around Zhang family, making them remember again and again about how better their daughter will qualify and look while standing beside my brother in future".
Li Xue continued to rub her chin lightly for some moment, doing a little pondering and then asked, "Mmm I see. In any of those annual gatherings, did your brother … I mean Mr. Beelzebub ever bothered to go and greet her family or have showed any curiosity to know about Ms. Zhang's whereabouts?"
Yi Lan was a little dumbfounded at that question. She didn't respond instantly, rather gave some thought before shaking her head and saying, "No, I guess my brother has never been bothered about all this. At such gatherings, he rarely shows up. He would just come when the event would be at the end, sit at a corner all plainly with his poker face, attend the dining and would just leave, without getting bothered of giving anyone a face".
Yes, that's all she has seen her brother doing in all these years. Nothing more and nothing less. Wasn't he too aloof to get mixed up with everyone?
She knew it!
Li Xue nodded with a smile as she said, "Then there is nothing to worry, Yi Lan. Those are just stories, not reality for us to think about."
Yi Lan also nodded. Before she has not thought about everything this way but now Li Xue's words when she thinks of it, she really feels like nothing serious was there in the talks, rather was just some folk assumptions that the oldies have created on their own and was now making the young generation believe.
"Okay, now, let's not bother more about anyone else. It's already time, I would rush back home. Tomorrow it's a big day for WeiWei. It would be better if I spend some extra time with her" Li Xue added, checking the time on her wrist. Her devilic – princess must already be at home and till she reaches back, Mr. Beelzebub would also be on his way back to the home.
She smiled cherishing the thought of having another cheerful night with her family as she hugged her friend and then took her leave. With the presence of one two people, her life has become more beautiful than it has even been before.
At the same time, when one was revering her beautiful changed life, on the other end of the city, other was being anxious out of their wits.
Wen Sying was stomping around her room trying a number on her phone again and again. But no matter how many times she tried, the call was just not getting connected on the other end. Either it was stating out of reach or was continuously stating the number to be busy.
"Where the hell has he been? It's already almost a week after that night in the restaurant and yet I am not able to reach him", she yelled, thrashing the phone at once on the floor and then slipping off all the decorative things from the table beside.
Her secretary Da – Xia almost shrieked out at the sudden psychic act of the woman, but more than that what affected her was the loss of her precious phone, she had just bought it a week back and now it was all in pieces. Ruined for the worst. The edges of eyes got the tears, ready to roll down but before they could get the opportunity, another gritted yell came with the sound of other metallic and ceramic objects smashing on the floor.
"What are you standing there for? Find where is he from all these days?"
"But … Sying, I tried before, yet I was unable to trace him. He is just not anyone whom I can trace down. CEO Zheng must be …" Before her words could reach a full stop, she was snapped harshly in the middle of her words.
"Shut up! You are just of no use. Can't even find his location? Are you even capable of calling as my manager?"
Capable to be called her manager? Finding the location of a model's boyfriend was not her work field, at least. But could she say that loud? Nope, with Wen Sying's title of being the company CEO's girlfriend, she doesn't hold an audacity to bark all her real thoughts in front.
"Sying, why not make the call to CEO Zheng's secretary. He might have some news about him". She suggested politely, making the woman's eyes go all fierce at her again.
