Chapter 842 - Not your responsibility to look after.
Li Xue's expression transformed from surprise to confusion. She stared at the video then briefly reverted back to look at her phone. Her fists curled with perplexion. There was something that was all evident in front of her eyes but she was restraining herself from accepting it.
"Here, do you remember him? This is the same guy who has appeared in the hospital that day to kill me. I have enquired about him. His name is Jing Shaoqing and he has been in the group of Pan Hong since his teens. He was the one who came to take our girl today." Qi Shuai said, pointing at the video playing on the phone where Li Wei was willingly going along with the man.
Feng Shufen stared at the video. His eyes turning all sharp and dark while his aura exuding dangerous chilling air that has become rare since the appearance of Li Xue and WeiWei in his life.
Qi Shuai and Feng Yi Lan could feel the frizidness around them but at the moment, fearing that bone-chilling air was not their consideration. Something else required more of their thoughts.
"But something is odd here. Why is WeiWei going along with him? Did she know him from before?" Qi Shuai suddenly asked, looking up at Li Xue. His brows seriously tugged together in confusion.
Li Xue didn't say anything. Her eyes just remained fixed at the screen of the phone watching, again and again, the same video playing on loop. Feng Yi Lan also looked at her and seeing her so silent, spoke on her instance. "Why are you even asking that? Don't you know, Li Wei is just a little kid? How could she know such a dangerous man? She must have been persuaded to go like that."
Feng Yi Lan said and after giving some thought to it Qi Shuai nodded to it as well. Children do easily get coaxed by anyone. And given the little girl's age, the reason was quite acceptable.
While they accepted, at the corner, both Li Xue and Feng Shufen knew that coaxing Li Wei so easily was simply not possible until …
"So, it was all about this?" Li Xue suddenly asked, tearing away her eyes from the mobile screen to look at the man who has also remained silent all this time.
Feng Shufen's eyes as well turned to gaze at the woman but he didn't say anything in reply, rather let her complete whatever she had in her mind.
Qi Shuai and Feng Yi Lan were also taken aback for a moment, not from the words that Li Xue has spoken. But by the weird air of discord her tone held in those words.
Li Xue had an expression of regret on her face as her eyes teared up a little looking at Feng Shufen. "Heh! Today, my daughter is in trouble just because someone wants to take revenge on you, right?" She reiterated her words. This time with more details of her thoughts.
"Xiao Xue, you are getting it wrong. Don't think that way. Nothing is going to happen to Li Wei. She will be fine. Believe in Shufen and …" Qi Shuai said, trying his best to speak up for his friend but seeing the distrust in the eyes of Li Xue, he couldn't find the strength to speak more. Feeling the lack of words, he turned to look at his friend sympathizing with his situation, but seeing him all calm at the situation, he was speechless.
Does he even know where those words were leading to? If not ?ssured well, he might be losing his woman just in a blink of an eye. Then what will happen? He would again become the cold, ruthless one he has known from before. The Devil who lacked emotions of this world. Qi Shuai could not think more about the consequences. It was too harsh for becoming the truth of the reality again.
Li Xue looked at Qi Shuai and then again reverted her eyes back at Shufen. Her amber depth held a lot of emotions when stared at the man but none was expressed at the front.
Feng Yi Lan came closer and held onto Li Xue, giving her the support. "Darling, I know what you are feeling at the moment and I also know how precious the little one is for you. But believe me, Li Wei is no less treasure to my brother as well. I have seen him around her and trust me, he has not treated anyone the way he treats you and WeiWei. Just hold on for some time and I am sure he will bring her back to you, all safe and sound"
She said and seeing her speaking so well for her brother, for a moment even Li Xue was taken aback. She turned to look at her and in reciprocation of her stare, Feng Yi Lan nodded in ?ssurance but acceptance of that ?ssurance never came in return from Li Xue.
After a moment of staring at her friend, Li Xue reverted to look at Feng Shufen who has not spoken a word since her accusations. He just kept his eyes on her as if his silence was his support to her at the moment.
Li Xue avoided his eyes when it grew intense on her as if they were ready to mold her and her thoughts according to his. Then taking a step ahead, she pulled her hands up to the man to ask, "The keys of the car."
"Du Fan will drive you home." Feng Shufen replied very nonchalantly. His grey orbs still holding his calmness like he wasn't hurt with all that he has to hear before
"I will go myself. I don't need anyone. I will find WeiWei on my own, you don't have to keep yourself concerned about her because she is not your important responsibility to look after". She said and her words were cruel which has not only wounded Feng Shufen's heart but has equally hurt Li Xue to her core. But she kept her pain in, and maintaining the firmness at front, she demanded.
Feng Shufen's fists curled on his sides but he still nodded, giving Li Xue the cue to go as she wished.
