Chapter 94 - Her Devil brother was not a devil for them.
Li Xue has not expected her friend's call. She has heard her mention that there has been some urgent problem with her fashion boutique overseas. So when she saw her calling, she quickly wiped off her hands to receive the call.
But before even she could place the phone right near her ear, a loud yell filled with frustration made her jerk it off far away.
"Li Xue!! My brother is really an evil spirit. I am really not going to spare him. I will behead him right after my return. Please prepare a sharp sword for me. I just can't take his actions anymore. I am telling you he has to pay for his actions this time"
Hearing her say such vicious phrases, Li Xue was a little bemused. She looked at her phone and then with some hesitation she brought it again next to her eyes. But again, she had to jerk off the phone as the yell came out again.
"Li Xue, Are you there? Or have you also hopped into my brother's devil team? Li Xue, are you even hearing me out? Why are you not responding to me?"
Li Xue's eyes looked at her daughter who was also confused at the loud voices from the phone. She smiled awkwardly and gestured to her to carry on with her dinner. Then bringing the phone back to her ears she said all calm and softly, just opposite to the way her friend has sounded before.
"Yi Lan, sweetheart!! Can you please be a little softer with your voice? I almost lost my sense of hearing before. I could only reply to you when you would give me a chance to do so and also after I get to understand what you are saying".
Saying her words, she waited for her reply, keeping the phone at a good, safe distance. But when she did not get to hear the response back, she grew a little worried. "Yi Lan? Are you there? Say something. I need to know the matter beforehand so that I could give you appropriate support and advice. Come one tell me, what's the matter? Are the things there too messed up? Something in which I could help?"
As she completed her words, a loud sobbing voice made its way as response. "(Sobs) Xiao Xue, (sobs)?…?Why do I have such a devil brother? He is such a brute. (Sobs) Did he really come to this world to make my life difficult? (Sobs) What should I do? Can I exchange him for another brother now?"
Feng Yi Lan said as she sobbed in the midst of her words. Her words made Li Xue more puzzled. What did Mr Beelzebub do again?
"Yi Lan, what happened? Can you please be a little more clear? And first, stop your cries, what will your staff think if they see you like this", she tried to console her friend.
"I know, I know. I can't cry in front of anyone, that's why I am calling you. Because I only have you and no one else. Li Xue, why didn't I have you in my family? In that way I would have never been so miserable", Feng Yi Lan said, not knowing that soon this wish of hers will become a reality but not in her expected way.
Li Xue sighed, hearing her say all these things again. She has always been like this. Even in their university days when they were together, Feng Yi Lan would always come to her and complain about her brother, ignoring the fact that her friend never knew him in person and would not be able to help her with her brother's bullying.
But then suddenly she was sent abroad to set a good footing in the fashion collection world with her designing skills. At that time, Feng Yi Lan wanted Li Xue to come along with her too, but since Li Xue has also started her career as a model in the fashion world, they have to separate from each other saying that soon they will meet again.
But little did they know that in those two years of separation, everything will be lost. Li Xue will be lost. Their friendship will be lost in the depths of darkness, conspiracies and greed of fame.
"Yi Lan, I am waiting to hear you out. Will you start or the anxious air you have created around is not enough?" Li Xue asked again when she did not receive any response from the other side of the call.
"Did I really create such an atmosphere around you? Incredible! I thought only my brother had the potential to do that in this world, but it seems like I too have got some information about his tricks", a complacent voice came from the other side.
"Yi Lan …", Li Xue was really amused by her friend's ways of cursing and praising her brother at the same time.
"Ahem! I didn't mean to praise him. I was just happy that now, after so many efforts finally, I am getting a little successful in learning his skills. That will definitely help me become tough in front of him. Isn't that great? Now leaving all that let me tell you what exactly happened with me, then believe me you will also curse him with all your heart. Do you know, I wasn't able to accompany you to my chipmunk's school because of him?" Feng Yi Lan said, again getting a little high pitched with her voice.
Because of him, Yi Lan was not able to come with them? What does that mean? Didn't something crop up at her workplace, that's why she has to leave urgently? Then how can it be related to Mr Beelzebub? Several questions started streaming in Li Xue's head but none were answered. She waited to hear her friend out first.
Her voice was so flexible that undeniably and without putting much effort, it got out of the phone, reaching little Li Wei's ears. Getting to know what her favourite aunt was talking about her on the phone, the little girl smiled.
"Mama, is Aunt Yi Lan feeling guilty for not coming with us to the school?" she asked, taking Feng Yi Lan's words and tone as per her own understanding.
Looking at her daughter, Li Xue nodded. "Mama, tell Aunt Yi Lan to not worry. Li Wei can never get upset with her. She can always accompany me after her return", Little Li Wei said as she paused and added, "As for today, there was my Handsome Angel accompanying us. So I am also happy with it"
"Aww so sweet of my chipmunk. I love her too. Hey …", Feng Yi Lan, who was on the other side of the call was filled with sweetness but then suddenly halted when he heard her sweet voice mention the same man again. "Hey, did I hear it correctly? What's with this handsome angel? Who is he? And did he really accompany you two to Li Wei's school?"
Hearing so many questions at the same time, Li Xue pinched the space between her brows as she questioned herself internally, 'Now what should I tell her. That your own devil brother, who is actually not a devil but angel to us has accompanied us to school and then has also taken us for an ice cream treat'.
