"Fine, let's sign the contract but just for one season. We would renew it again if the things remain favourable in the next season otherwise the contract will come to an end on its due time" Li Xue finally accepted to come to a compromise, knowing that her friend was stubborn enough to not agree with any less. And this was the only term that could prevent Feng Yi Lan from making more and more losses.
Feng Yi Lan looked at her friend and pouted her lips a little out. Staring at her for quite some moment, she agreed, "Okay, since I love you so much and we have always been best friends I can only give in to your demands. But please mind that I would not be able to accept any more of your demands now."
Li Xue could not help but roll her eyes at her words. The way those words came out from her lips sounded like it was her, Feng Yi Lan, who had made all compromises whereas Li Xue was just there to make demands.
"Mr Shin, since the terms have already been decided between us, would you please mind making the respective changes on the contract papers? We would sign it once you have made the changes on it", Li Xue said, looking at the lawyer with an amiable smile.
The lawyer looked at her, then nodding went out to fulfil the request. Earlier while making the contract as per the instructions of Feng Yi Lan, he had a doubt. He even thought that maybe the Young Miss of Feng Household had gotten bored with her company and had decided to sell it off in the gamble of loss.
For a moment he even pitied the staff and employees who have given their time and efforts to the brand, thinking that their efforts will be going down soon, given to the contract he has been asked to make. Of course, who will not call a contract profitable when it brings all stakes and losses to you while keeping the other party all safe and secure from it.
But coming here to find The Big Boss himself present at the scene, he was not able to keep himself all firm and natural to his own drawn conclusion. With Feng Shufen around, he would never dare to think that any deal would be going for a loss. His presence itself was the evidence of the profit.
When he went out from the room, Li Xue once again turned to look at her friend and said, "Since the things are already settled for one of the things, the other important thing which is left to be settled is your ankle". She said, gesturing her eyes to look at her ankle that was still under the protective gauze.
Following her gesture of gaze, Feng Yi Lan too looked at her legs and shrugged back her shoulders with some nonchalance. "What is there to be settled? My ankle is all healed, I said that already. And there is nothing to worry. This useless cast from my ankle will be removed off soon and I will be all fine".
Li Xue shook her head at her easy tone. Did she really think that she would buy her words? No way!
"Darling, don't you try and make it sound easy. Because there is no way I would buy that. You still have 2 weeks left with this protective gauze and I demand you to keep it till then. That's it", Li Xue said, making her tone and voice go firm with her words.
Feng Yi Lan disagreed, behaving like that rebellious kid who has always loved to go against the rules and discipline set by her parents. "No, no, Li Xue, this gauze is no more needed. I know my body better and I know as well that my ankle is all healed. So, there is no need for this useless gauze. I will be fine without it especially when it makes me feel like a burden".
Li Xue pursed her lips and was about to say something more when Qi Shuai on the side spoke up. All this while when others were busy about the contract that was going to be signed between Yi Lan and Li Xue, he has been busy finding ways to prevent Yi Lan from removing the gauze.
"Yi Lan, under the gauze you may feel that your ankles are healed but that's not true. That's just an evil spirit that is asking you to feel like that. They want you to make a mistake so that they get a good and powerful opportunity to harm you. And I think you are wise enough to not give in to this trick".
The man said and his words instantly made Li Xue's eyes go wide in amus.e.m.e.nt. Her lips tugged up a little to evidence her amus.e.m.e.nt as she stepped back to see more things to unfold.
Qi Shuai has always followed this very childish way to make Yi Lan follow his words. Though he knew that those words would no more be effective on her but not finding anything better than this he decided to try the lame trick again.
Feng Yi Lan rolled her eyes at the man as she said with some laugh of disbelief, "Director Qi, do you really think that I am still a kid to take your words seriously. Hmmm? I …". But her words were interrupted when she felt something soft wrapping around her legs.
Her eyes moved to look downwards only to find the little girl there with all scared eyes. There were tears at the edges but none of the drops was ready to fall off her grey ones. She blinked her little eyes as she said in a tone of worry. "Aunt Yi Lan, WeiWei will never let you fall for the evil spirit's trick. I will save you from the bad because I love you and will never want to lose my precious Aunt"
The little girl said as she hugged her dearest Aunt for her dearest heart, fearing that if she let her hold loose, she would lose her.
