Chapter 568 – Not A Victim To Seek Anyone’s Sympathy.
At the same time, in the Feng Household Main Mansion.
Feng Yi Lan felt her eyes would just fall off its socket if she didn't stop looking at her father who was continuously marching back forth in front of her. "Father, can you please not create suspense by walking like this? I am already tired from the whole day and giving extra of my brain into this will only make me feel worse. You asked me to come here, so I came. Yet instead of letting me know the things easily, you are asking me to solve the mystery behind your despondent expression".
Seeing her father's downcast demeanour, Feng Yi Lan already knew something was not in the right. To some extent, she could even guess that wrong, but still, internally she doesn't want to believe in those wrongs coming to become the truth.
Won't the revelation become a disaster if it comes a way beforehand? Furthermore, shouldn't it be her brother taking the disaster? Then why was she here, taking everything on his stance?
She looked at her father again, who didn't even care to respond to her words rather continued walking back and forth. For a second looking at his dark, disappointed look, she even thought to slip away from the mansion, but the moment she got that idea, the man turned around to face her directly to question her.
"C'mon, tell me everything from the start. Tell me what you and your brother are up to this time. Explain!" Feng Yu Hao asked, booming in the silence of the mansion, making it sound thunderous.
Feng Yi Lan was already shivering from within and on top of that, the dark tone of her father did no good. She scooted more into her seat as she tried to smile obliviously at him. "Haha … Father, from when did me and brother get into a team. He never includes me in his team. You definitely got misinformation there." Her smile came out very awkwardly on her expressions.
In this situation, could she even care for her expressions and smile? Sigh, no way, at this moment she was even ready to get laid on the deathbed if that could bring her to escape from her furious father.
At this moment, suddenly a woman came strolling out from the kitchen and Yi Lan at once sprung her way to hide behind her. "Elder Sister, Yi Ran! Please save me. Believe me, I have never been involved in the plans of Brother".
Feng Yi Ran has coincidently come to visit her father and got to know the things which have kept intriguing her for weeks now. She has tried to search for the woman who aroused interest in the heart of her brother and has made her rebellious son go disciplined. But disappointedly, her young brother was too smart to hide her perfectly under his wings. Even after mobilizing her resources, she could not get to know more about the lady, except for her profession as a chef.
Her expressions were sombre, feeling aggrieved for failed attempts but she was yet there to make any perceptions for her brother's choice. Putting a faint smile on her face, she walked more into the living area with her younger sister towing behind. "Father, don't stress too much. I have brewed this Chamomile tea for you, have it first and we can discuss it later".
"Yes, yes, exactly. Father, don't yell so loud. You might get a rise in blood pressure" Yi Lan also supported her sister's trick, in hope that it could calm her father down but instead of calming him, it showed the effects otherwise.
"You, punk, you are the reason if I die someday. I thought that you have grown for good now. But yet I feel like I overestimated the things. You still have not got the brains to work with. I doubt how your company is even running? It must definitely be running in the losses". Feng Yu Hao said again, raising his voice and Yi Lan instantly pouted, feeling offended.
Tugging herself more behind her elder sister, she defended, "Father, my company is running well. You can check the reports. Furthermore, why are you blaming me? Shouldn't it be brother? You definitely love him more than us or on his faults, you must not be chiding me, your youngest kid".
Feng Yu Hao frowned more at her words. Pulling an accusing finger at her, he began again, "You are asking why am I blaming you? Don't you know already? That woman was your friend and you knew her all this time, knew that she had such a scandalous past, has a daughter from that past, yet instead of stopping your brother, you kept all this secret from us. Do you even know what effects her past could bring on Shufen later?"
Feng Yi Lan's gaze instantly hung low. It was not because she accepted the defeat against her father rather, she has known all this coming from the very beginning. She knew Li Xue's past was something that not everyone would understand. And it ached her heart every time she saw people judging her friend on her past.
"Father, things are not as you think. Li Xue is not as you are perceiving her to be. She, herself, is a victim. She did no wrong but was trapped in other's traps". She tried to explain but all her words were instantly scoffed off.
"Getting trapped in others' traps is also wrong. Do you think victimizing her would bring any sympathy from me? No, that's not going to happen. Even if she was the victim of other people's conspiracies, it was her fault to be all dumb and weak" Feng Yu Hao said but just when his words got completed, another voice came from the entrance, silently silencing other words in the room.
"She is not a victim who would need anyone's sympathy". Feng Shufen said as he made his way inside.
Feng Yi Lan has never felt this much relieved seeing her brother, as she was feeling at the moment. Finally, things have got the hope of getting better with her brother's presence around.
