Chapter 447 - Blaming Others Is Not Something Of My Interest.
Feng Yi Lan was all reluctant to hear Feng Shufen's words, fearing that if she heard him blame her for all his pains and indifferent attitude towards the world then she might not be able to take the blow. Her heart has already been shattered in the morning and now losing her brother would only lead her soul towards irreparable devastation.
She wanted to run away from the truth but little did she know that words and blames from which she has been running away in fear were not any terrifying as she had thought of, rather was like some soothing gel that was capable enough to soothe the pain of every scar on her heart.
Holding her arm, Feng Shufen held her back only to make things clear for her. Though prior, he did not feel any need of doing so, thinking that one day the girl will grow matured enough to see his brotherly love on her own but seeing her getting so devastated with her self-confidence, he decided to help her ease a little.
"I don't need to prove you as my sister in the name because you have always been one in my heart. You have always been my younger sister. I cannot avoid that fact!" he said. His voice coming out all firm and sincere in tone assuring the lady of something that could not be seen but felt all clearly. His brotherly love and care for her!
When she heard those words, she turned around to look at him. The tears that she was trying to hide all this time in abashment, no longer cared to think about anything. Wasn't these the words she has been waiting to hear all these years? Yes, they were but still hearing those at the time, she could not control a chuckle of self – mockery escaping her lips.
Even though she wanted to cherish this moment forever, she knew that the life span of a lie was not that great. Today or tomorrow, she would have to take the punishment of her mother's sin. So why not just accept everything at once. Playing hide and seek was not going to make anything permanent.
"Though I really feel good to hear that, Brother. But it's okay, you don't have to lie to me. I already know the truth. I am your half-blood sister, who has made a reason to make your mo…" Keeping her heart strong and willful, Feng Yi Lan started her words but was not able to complete it as she had thought. It wasn't easy.
For once, accepting your mistakes in front of the world could become easy but letting someone know your parent's faults is not something any kid could do.
Not able to complete her words further anymore, she looked at Feng Shufen helplessly.
"Half-blood sister is still a sister. It doesn't make any change" The man nonchalantly added as if that her being a half-blood sister has never been an issue to him, rather just an unnecessary detail to their relationship.
For a moment, even Feng Yi Lan was dumbfounded at his ease. Was it really that simple? Was she the only one uselessly caring for it when her brother has never ever paid any heed to it?
"Do you not blame me for the things that happened before?" she asked and the man only shook his head. Same as some teacher guiding their student towards the path of the truth.
"You were not at any fault there for me to blame. And blaming others is not my interests". He deadpanned.
At the same time at a distance, the woman was gawking at the two people very minutely. Though to her distance, nothing was clear to her ears, she was trying her best to read their every detailed movement while sitting on the bike.
"Sigh! Mr Beelzebub, can you please be a little soft and considerate with the way you talk to your sister? She is already upset and you have gone there to cajole her. Be a little sweet to her" she muttered to herself helplessly looking at the scene at the front.
Li Xue has purposely made Feng Shufen go alone to Feng Yi Lan back, thinking that it might create some coziness in their relationship but now seeing the display at the front she could only facepalm herself. Did she do something wrong? Would it have been better if she had accompanied the man till the stage?
Thinking of things like this and watching the inaudible movie from the front, she dozed off over the motorbike itself, hugging it for her dear life.
While back on the Shufen's side, Feng Yi Lan was feeling much better than before. Though the pain was still there in her heart, still on this worst day she has got a reason to be joyous too. Finally, she no longer would have fear of losing her brother thinking that he might hold her responsible for the sins of her mother.
Laughing her pains away, she said, "Brother, wouldn't it be better if you have told me all this earlier. That way I would not have cried this much. You are really cruel. That's why I wanted my Li Xue to stay away from you."
Just as she said, it did not take much time to make Feng Shufen's expression go ashen. Sending piercing gazes to his sister, he plainly said, "If only you have preferred your IQ over EQ then this would not have happened."
"You … Brother are you poking fun at me," She said suddenly getting all screamy – cat but the man no longer cared to hear her words. His eyes only went to stare at the distance behind some trees to find the woman. But he wasn't able to eye her silhouette there in the darkness.
"It's already late. Let's not delay the time here" He said before already moving his steps away from Feng Yi Lan.
The woman's mouth went agape looking at her brother. "Hey, Brother! Weren't you here for me then how come you have yet not asked me anything about the things that happened with me?" She yelled looking at her brother's back that was growing distancer and distancer from her.
"You already look a lot better than before. I find no use in asking anything. Furthermore, I'm sure that you would not talk about the faults of Qi Shuai in front of me. So, I won't waste my time asking you this. Now come fast. The car won't be waiting long for you". He said before walking away from there.
