Chapter 72 - Chance To Get Inside Some Romantic, Adventurous Love Story.
At Feng Internationals,
The air inside the President's office was dark and tense. And so was the look of the President. Feng Shufen was sitting on his enormous leather chair, looking through the files and documents on the computer. His expressions looked so cold and sharp like it could even pierce the toughest rock on Earth.
After every fixed interval, his eyes would get back to look at the paper note that was kept on the side of the table. He wasn't able to concentrate on his work. At this moment there was a knock at the door.
"President Feng!" came a cheerful greeting but the man was in no mood to give any response. His eyes also did not bother to look at the person who had come suddenly to greet him.
"That's not fair. I worked so hard for you in Palma de Mallorca, and this is the way you are treating me. Why I think that you got more cold after getting a woman in your life". The man who entered his office was none other than the Director Chief of Feng Internationals, Qi Shuai.
"…", Feng Shufen still did not care to respond.
Qi Shuai, being all carefree around his childhood friend, did not pull any formal etiquette and came in without getting any proper permission. Pulling the chair out, he took his seat and then added his words again. "So what so special about her that she caught your interest this hard? Don't hesitate and tell me. I won't snatch her away from you".
As he completed his words, a death scaring glare made him stiffen all of a sudden. Feng Shufen did not worded out anything but his eyes were enough to pierce the soul of a person.
"Huh? Whom are you trying to scare with those eyes? It's not that I don't know anything. You have already got a straight away rejection and that's the reason why you are sitting here with such a foul mood", he said, trying his best to cover up the frightened expression he got moments before.
"Seems like you have got good spare time for spouting crap here. Want me to arrange something more productive for you?" Feng Shufen's voice was cold and firm.
His words were enough to bring on the torture. Qi Shuai clenched his teeth as he cursed, "Screw you, Feng Shufen! Do you really take me as your friend? You are giving me such a straight nerve wracking warning when I am just here, trying to help you in your love life"
"Did I ask for your help?" his words were curt and to the point, capable to leave anyone speechless.
"You … What did I really do in my previous life to deserve a friend like you". Qi Shuai could no longer take his rude attitude sitting there hand over hand. So he stood up in anger and said angrily, "Fine! Since you are like this then don't blame me for not being a good friend and not warning you before. You will definitely regret not hearing me out when the only woman who got your interest will get courted by some other man or by her own ex. President Feng, sorry for bothering you. I won't be a hindrance to your important work"
He said sarcastically, and then turned to leave. There was a pause in the air. Qi Shuai was purposely taking his steps slower. He was more excited and willing to get inside the story than the male lead itself. 'Come on! Stop me! Ask me, I got the information about your woman' he chanted the words continuously as he took his steps further and further away from the table.
Finally, when he was just a step away from the door, Feng Shufen asked "Where?"
That was for what the man was waiting for. The steps that were on its way to leave the office room turned in a 180 – degree angle, with an excitement filled blazing smile over his lips. "Exactly! That's like my friend. You should seek my help when needed. We are brothers that are born to help each other, right?" he said as he took his steps forward
"Perhaps you have nothing special to say. You can leave", Feng Shufen said as he went back to study the papers in the file. At his words, Shuai's lips got twitched. This man was really …
"Hey … You are underestimating your friend too much. Of course I have some special information about your woman. How can I not have, she is someone over whom the great Feng Shufen has got head over heels" He said and quickly got a seat for himself. He can't miss the chance to get inside some romantic, adventurous love story.

Back in the restaurant,
Li Xue had not thought that she would get such an interesting show just by coming to a reunion get together lunch party. The woman whom she has once considered her best friend, she has never known that she can be such a perfect white lotus in the show of real life.
She looked around to evaluate the other people in the room. Looking at them now, she can tell that there was soon going to be an eruption. The people can never prevent their soul from helping white lotus in the midst of the crowd, especially when all of them share the same grudge for the same person.
As expected, soon someone voiced out angrily. "Hey Li Xue! Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? We all know that you are left with nothing. Now even you can't sell off your looks, the only valuable thing you once had. Now what do you have so special that you are flaunting your attitude here"
"She is right, Li Xue. Why are you being so arrogant now? Sying is being so nice to you and yet you are not thinking twice before insulting her like this. Can you not be so mean?"
The men who were present did not care to butt in their talks. Seeing their college beauty still shining like before they did not want to get on her bad side. They thought that maybe they have not got chances in the past but with her fallen crown, they might get lucky to stand a chance.
So they just stood at the side, neither on their support nor on their against .
Wen Sying, who was getting all sympathy thought herself to be winning in the situation. The thought that she has dominated Li Xue already with the help of the others around made her jump in happiness from inside. But all her happiness turned into displeasure when she saw no guilty reaction on the woman's face.
All this while, Li Xue has heard everyone's words but did not care to give any response to retaliate them. She felt it would be useless. Her lips just curled up a little to a side to form a mocking smile and that was enough to make everyone go crazy with anger.
She smirked and then said, "Wen Sying, have you called me here to present this special act of yours? I must say that was very impressive. I thought that you texted me asking for a chance to mend our relationship. I never knew that you had called to pull this trick against me. Sigh! I have again repeated my mistake from the past"
