Chapter 558 - One Should Always Take The Things That Rightfully Belong To Them.
Though Li Xue was pretending to be indifferent to her own curiosity, still the waves of inquisitiveness inside her were too strong to be ignored. Especially when she was sure that the woman standing in front of her was no simple.
Something in her aura or her face or just something felt very, very, familiar to her. Like she has known her from some part of her life that has suddenly gone missing from her memories and she could no longer retrieve it back to her knowledge.
Yun Yuchun's lips curled up into a smile when heard her words. "Rude? How can I take you that when your words are nowhere near it?" she said without looking at her. Her eyes still stressed to look all lovingly at the little one. Indeed, she has got all the notable features of her son but at the same, her facial sculpture has not missed the charms of her mother.
"Aye, sweet li'l bun, will you not accept my chocolates? I have already heard your mother say that the flavours are something of your favourite". She said again, already guessing well that the girl will not accept it till her mother tells her.
So, she looked up at Li Xue, before saying, "I have been sending donations to this school for quite some years now. In the past years, I never got time to visit the school but since this year I was here, I decided to come and look over. And here I found her."
She paused as her aged eyes once again adoringly looked at the little girl, who was looking minutely at the details happening around her but keeping her learned politeness in check. "So little, sweet but at the same time talented enough to amaze the world. No doubt, she won the competition. These chocolates are just to congratulate her on the success". The lady continued to conclude it well.
Li Xue stared at her. The expression on the woman's face was undoubtedly poker with a strange meaningful arc on her lips but her eyes were saying something opposite to those expressions. Something that she could not put her finger on. The more she thought the more addled she felt.
"Mama!" Little Li Wei slowly whispered to bring back her mother. The chocolates were tempting her but she was keeping her determination stronger, just to follow her Mama.
The mother also knew it. She smiled a little before giving a nod to her daughter, only to see her smile and then turning back to the lady to accept the chocolates.
Yun Yuchun could not help but let out a soft peal of laughter, looking at her that way. But her brows soon showed wrinkles of confusion when saw the girl picking only one chocolate bar among the five.
"Thank you, Prettiest Grandma!"
"Only one? Will you not take the others? There are all of the hazelnut flavours" she asked, not understanding her action. Wasn't those her favourite bar of chocolates?
Little Li Wei looked at the other four bars of chocolates on the woman's hands and then smiled, shaking her head in denial. "I won only one award tonight, so I can accept only one bar of chocolate today. Mama says, one should always take the things that rightfully belong to them, for the rest, they should leave it for others".
"Umm … I see," Yun Yuchun said while pretending to be in some thoughts. She has heard her people say before, the girl was getting brought up with both love and morals. And now hearing her thoughts, she could see it well. Standing up, back on her feet, she nodded while adding, "Then I guess, I would need to visit you on your every achievement to reward you these chocolates".
The little girl did not disagree. She really likes this Grandma and seeing her again would be a nice thing.
The woman smiled at her silent acceptance. So, like Feng Shufen! Even their silence was enough things to let people know their firm thoughts. Putting her sunglasses on, she lightly patted her head. "Okay, see you next time then, precious little!" She said, then turning around she left. With both her attitude and words, it felt like she was just there for the little one.
Li Xue stared at the woman's disappearing back. This was their second meeting and the woman has remained successful in giving her the second mystery to think about.
"Mama, where is Daddy Angel? Did he leave already?" suddenly WeiWei asked when turning around, she did not spot her Daddy Angel anywhere nearby. Her little eyes scanned the crowd only to get disappointed and then return back to her mother.
"Your Daddy Angel has not left anywhere, sweetie. He just got an important call to receive. So, he is out, waiting for us" Li Xue eased the disappointment of her daughter, knowing well what she needed most at a time like this.
Little Li Wei nodded in understanding. "But Mama, what about Aunt Yi Lan? From the stage, I saw her getting startled at first and then excited later. Did she leave without congratulating me?" she asked again.
It was then Li Xue realized something missing around. "Umm … your Aunt Yi Lan must also be here" She turned around to check but did not find her friend anywhere. Her brows tugged together. Where was she now? As far as she remembered, she was following closely behind them.
"Wait, let me call her to ask," she said, before fiddling into her bag to find out her phone. Dialling the number, the call got soon connected but even after several ongoing rings, there was no answer. She dialled again but the rings were ignored.
"What happened, Mama? Aunt Yi Lan is not receiving the call? Did she also go out the same as Daddy Angel?" Little Li Wei queried her mother when saw her frowning while looking at the phone.
"I don't know, sweetie! Let's go out and check" She said, before making her pace out.
