Chapter 19 - My EQ is far better than your IQ.
The CEO office has the wind of Antarctica blowing inside which was making Feng Yi Lan feel chilly shivers down her spine. But at the same time when her eyes got contacted with her brother's dark grey colored fiery eyes, she felt if not avoided it could burn her alive.
"Brother, please!! Do you really want to scare your little sister that bad? You know it very well I won't have asked your help if I can find her on my own. I have already tried hard to find her in the last five years but still there isn't any clue that could lead me to her. Please help me now, I beg you for help", she said putting on her helpless eyes.
"A friend? You considered her as your friend but she doesn't seem to feel the same", he scowled, his dark grey eyes tearing her confidence apart.
"Brother!" she gave out a half yell trying to let him know that he was annoying her. "You can't judge our friendship. And with your below average EQ, you won't be able to even if you try. So please don't embarrass yourself with it".
"Huh! Blaming my EQ, at least it's far better than your IQ", he remarked in nonchalance and then went back into his doc.u.ment not caring about his sister anymore. It feels like he has completed his stock of words and there is nothing left to say.
Getting such a cold shoulder from her own brother, Feng Yi Lan stomped her feet on the ground and asked in a voice full of annoyance, "Brother! Are you going to help me or not? Or should I ....."
Her brother still didn't bother to pay attention to her words. "So you are not going to answer me? Fine! It's perfectly fine. Now don't blame me for ruining your peaceful life"
"…", still there wasn't any response as if her threats had no meaning to him, which further infuriated Feng Yi Lan.
"You are very mean, Brother! Since you are acting so mean, why should I be the only one to be so caring and obedient one. I should just call our Mama and tell her that you have really got problems like erectile dysfunction or something more complex than that. With the rumors going around, there is no way she won't …", she trailed off when got another soul piercing gaze from her brother.
Lumps of fear instantly got acc.u.mulated in her throat making her feel all heavy under his gaze. It terrified her to the core. She blinked her eyes profusely and at the same time tried to swallow down the lump in her throat.
"You got the guts to blackmail your own brother or have you become audacious enough to blackmail Feng Shufen", his tone and voice turning more fierce than he has ever used with her. Her body went limp the moment it reached her ears.
"Brother please don't scare me like that. I am your sweet little sister. What would happen if I got a heart attack? Will you be able to forgive yourself after my sudden death? Please I am just asking you to help me in finding my friend. With your resources and capabilities, it will be done in just a flick of your fingers", she said in a frail tone, no strength was left in her body.
She was almost wanting to go on her knees but that action of her can further infuriate her brother so she held herself straight. To her brother, his closed kins are not allowed to bow down in front of anyone, not even to themselves.
"If there is nothing important to say then you can leave or should I make an arrangement to go abroad and study something to enhance your skills and brain cells", he said giving her a clear warning.
And it didn't take much long for Feng Yi Lan to decide, "Fine I am leaving. I don't trust that you are my brother anymore. You must be some alien who descended down from some weird planet to make everyone's life hell". Without waiting for another glare from him, she rushed out.
There was no way she would be going to another foreign country or else she will never be able to find her friend. Now since her brother won't be helping her, she can only rely on herself. Thinking that she exited the company.
"Drive me to Central Mall" she commanded her driver getting inside her car. Shopping was the best pill to lighten up her mood.
After she left. Feng Shufen picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Gao Fan, look into Yi Lan's friend's whereabouts and report it to me as soon as possible". His commanding was something great which never allowed anyone to think of defying it. Disconnecting the call, he went back to study the file which was opened on his PC.
Back in Little Carnations,
Li Xue was brought inside the house to look around. Little Li Wei was holding her Mama's hand and was curiously looking around with her glittering eyes, while Sister Margaret was following them from behind.
The house was really big and luxurious for two people to stay. When entered there was a big space for a living hall and separate dining hall. Laced with all modern amenities there was a designer sleek kitchen alongside the dining hall. Three bedrooms were at the back of the house.
Altogether it was beautiful, decorated with different art pieces and furniture. Li Xue looked at her daughter's glittering eyes, there was no doubt that her little anger had liked this place.
Seeing her like this, her lips curled up giving a warm smile to no one in particular, rather was expressing her satisfied heart. "Baby, do you like this place?" she asked though she was knowing the answer.
She loved to hear her daughter's clear voice which is always dipped in so much sweetness. The little girl didn't look up at an instant rather got her eyes moved around once more.
Confirming her thoughts and decision, she looked at her mother and nodded her head in approval. "Yes, Mama. It's good. I liked it"
Though her eyes were glittering but the girl was very rigid to show that outwardly looking someone unfamiliar around. This was one of her qualities which Li Xue doesn't know where it comes from? She would never let unfamiliar people understand her real opinions or thoughts.
"So is there something more we need here?" she asked. Since she has time, she won't mind going out shopping with her daughter.
"Yes Mama, there is so much. We haven't brought many things from our previous home. We have to go for an urgent shopping", Li Wei said with such seriousness that Li Xue felt it wasn't her who was her mother rather it's the other way round.
She shook her head and then said with a light laugh, "Okay then we should go and shop around for a bit".
Sister Margaret who was witnessing everything felt warm in her heart. This pair of mother daughter can truly make anyone feel touched with their display of affection. She turned to look back as if searching someone. "Which man can be this dumb to let go such a beautiful pocket of joy from his life. Any man who can have this pair in his life will be lucky". She thought in her head as she looked back at the mother daughter duo.
