Chapter 257 - She Is No Angel But A Sl*t.
Knowing Li Xue and her passion was nothing new to the people who have ever known her for the minutest time of their life. Of course, the people who were closed to her in the past also knew the importance of that passion to her. Then how can Su Fai not know it?
Even though he received heartbreak a day before, that would never restrict him from taking care of her because, at the end of the day, he was the one responsible for his own feelings. And for his heart feelings, he would not neglect his friendship with Li Xue.
"Is Li Xue not going to make any plans for coming back to her dreamt career", he suddenly asked while taking a soft sip of water and then again moving his fork and knife skillfully on his food.
Feng Yi Lan was no less disappointed about it. Shaking her head in a 'no', she said, "I, so wished that she did have plans about it but unfortunately, she has deviated her mind in a completely different stream. She says that now baking has got all her heart and fashion has long left behind".
"Though I won't deny that she is really quite skilful as a Dessert Chef too, still seeing her walking on ramp has got some other charms. Her eyes turned all sharp and confident, while her every step held a spark that can easily fire this world with a different level of interest. That's her, not someone simply working her time off in an ultra-advanced modular kitchen"
Friends are always the best ones who will know your every advantage and disadvantages. And being Li Xue's best friend, Feng Yi Lan knows her well too. But knowing that she could do nothing to bring back all those advantages back to her friend, kind of frustrated her.
Right at this moment when the two were busy discussing, a voice interrupted them, "Li Xue has no future left in the industry. Don't push her back into it or she won't get anything apart from pain".
At that soft, mellow voice, Yi Lan's brows jutted together as her eyes went to look at the person who had even dared to think that pain could ever come back to her Li Xue's life. Her face twitched when saw who it was and her lips turned to give a light disgusted chuckle.
"Yi Lan, long time no see!"
It was none other than Wen Sying along with a friend whom Feng Yi Lan did not know. Turning her head to the other side to control her tornado of anger that was booming inside her, she said through the clenched teeth, "God, please help me save my hands from getting dirty."
Su Fai too turned to look at the two women who were advancing their steps slowly and slowly towards them.
"Su Fai, you are too back to the country. I have heard a lot about you these days but never got a chance to meet you. It's good to see both of you here" Wen Sying said with a dainty smile playing beautifully over her lips.
That smile would not have failed to impress the man if he had ever looked her in a positive light. But knowing a few tricks that Sying has pulled behind Li Xue's back in the school has never allowed him to take her the way she presented herself.
Su Fai looked at her dimly, his eyes not showing any shine of excitement that a person gets seeing someone after a long time. Nodding his head lightly to accept her greeting, he said, "It's good to see you too."
Wen Sying felt like she had finally got some recognition in the eyes of the people who had never turned a glance at her back in the school. Smiling more gloriously, she said, "With your talks, it feels like you have long met Li Xue already. She looks quite happy now. I …"
Before she could get to complete her words, an aggressive voice jumped in with a boom, almost making the two women standing flinch, "What? Unsatisfied?".
The tone was harsh but that was not the only thing that made Sying take a step back rather it was the sharpness in the eyes of Feng Yi Lan that was enough to let her know that if not stopped then she might die in an instant.
"Yi Lan, you are taking me …"
"Sorry I am not close to you to call me that informally. You are not anyone but a mere acquaintance in whom I am not interested even a bit, you better keep yourself stuck in the code of mannerism. Call me Feng Yi Lan or Ms Feng to be better." She said, folding her arms at her front.
Wen Sying bit her lower lips when heard the woman heartlessly insulting her. She wanted to cut her words off and send twice the amount of vicious words back. Then again, she has not that power to offend someone that has such a high family background like Feng Yi Lan.
Making herself look like a pitiful case, she began her words again, "Yi – Feng Yi Lan, you are taking me wrong. I am not an enemy to Xue, she is my friend too. She has always considered me no less than a sister. How can I think bad for her? What I just said, is to keep her safe from the pains that might come to her if she comes back to start modelling again"
She paused to look at the man at the side. Trying to garner his sympathy, she continued, "You both must have heard what has happened with her 5 years ago. She got herself into a scandal and … It's not that I could blame her. Models do sometimes …"
"Whoa! Few words back in your so-called good – goodie speech, I heard you call yourself as her friend. You better not insult me and other real friends, by calling yourself to be among us", Feng Yi Lan interrupted, clapping her hands in disdain. The smile on her lips clearly mocking the core of the woman.
Wen Sying fists got clenched tight as her nails dug deep into her skin. She was about to say something but before she could the woman at her side jumped into the conversation to support her.
"How can you even be so harsh to Sying. She is just telling the truth? Is it that hard for you to accept it? No one can change the truth that 5 years ago, Li Xue did sleep with that old fat man in that hotel room. She is no angel but a sl*t …"
Before the words could even reach its conclusion, a rough, burning sting reached the woman's cheeks making it almost bruise to bleed out. A dead, grim silence fell around as everything and everyone went frozen at its place.
Wen Sying's hands went to cover her mouth, gasping in shock. "MaoMao!"
"Who allowed a random chick like you, to fluff your mouth against my friend? Did you really think that you can afford it?" Feng Yi Lan roared, booming up in the eerie silence of the scene.
