In the call with Feng Yi Lan, Li Xue had already come to know that on her sudden disappearance, Chen Yujian had gone all crazy back in the country. But she had no idea what stunts he had pulled there.
Exactly what did this boy do there?
"Trending on the channels? What do you mean?" she asked in a death chilling warning tone and Chen Yujian on the other side of the call could clearly feel it. His spine went stiff when felt the shiver of fear run down his spine.
"I … I did not do anything severe. I was just wo-worried for you so I went to the police to ask their help and when they said that they could not help more, I went to pressurize them using m-media. But …" He said in a stuttering tone but before he could complete, the woman on the other sent a sharp rebuke.
"You involved the media? Are you crazy?" Li Xue said out in a burst. "You let me come there and I will let you know how to use them for your own funeral. You …"
"Hey, Xiao Xue, take a breath of relaxation. No media was involved. I just caught him on time" At this moment, another cheerful, easy-going voice came, making Li Xue realize that the boy was not alone creating but under the care of Qi Shuai.
Taking a breath of relief, she greeted, "Director Qi!"
"Yes, yes, it's me. I got the hold of the phone, just when scared that bratty brat away" Qi Shuai said with a chuckle. It was his first time to see Chen Yujian getting fearful of someone's words. Seems like his sister – in – law was not sweet and sober to everyone as she was to him. "You were quite scary to him, sister – in – law," He said, boasting his importance internally.
Li Xue was instantly embarrassed. "Ahh that Director Qi, being his superior it's my responsibility to guide him well," She said and the dramatic man on the other side instantly chimed along with her words.
"Of course, Sister – in – law, I know. And furthermore, not everyone can be as sensible as me", the Director said, getting all full of himself. But then suddenly he paused as he remembered the thoughts, he was missing. "Ahh! How forgetful I am, Sister – in – law, I almost forget to ask! Where are you? We have been trying to reach you since last night but weren't able to?"
He purposely kept his knowledge hidden thinking that if he could know her intentions first then he would be able to help his friend. Since the last disconnection of the call with Feng Shufen, he was not able to have any chat with him. But little did he know that his friend was much better in claiming his people and precious treasure. That, when things come related to the people or things he cherishes, he would not wait to get the clue or backups rather would march down the war field himself.
Li Xue hesitated a bit, but in the end said the story as it was, "Oh, I am really sorry, Director Qi! I really never intended to make you all worried. Right now, I am in Florida. I just came here and am perfectly fine."
Qi Shuai was taken aback for a moment. Florida? Wasn't she in Caracas, Venezuela? Was she lying to him? Was she trying to keep that man secret? Realizing it that way, he wanted to run all his way to reach Caracas and let his friend know that he might be losing his wife soon. But knowing his responsibilities too well back in the country, he was sure that in no way he would be able to help his friend.
Though he could not go there, he could always help his friend by making the woman remember the fact she has forgotten. "Xiao Xue, how did you get to Florida. I heard Yujian mention that you took the flight to Venezuela. Did you travel there to enjoy? If you wanted that you should have said, Feng Shufen would have arranged it personally".
Li Xue was about to say that she was already with Mr Beelzebub but just as she started, she heard a knock at the door. She turned to find a doctor standing there. Her eyes went to look at the clock.
"Ma'am, the doctor is here to take a check on you. If you can allow", the nurse said lightly, coming near Li Xue's ears, pressing her voice to the lowest pitch so that the person on the call could not hear her.
Li Xue nodded to her words and the nurse instantly gestured to the doctor to come in. On the call, she said, "Director Qi, let's talk about all this later. Right now, I am a little busy. I will hang up now." Saying her words she quickly disconnected the call, intending to not make others too worried about her.
The doctor examined her wounds again and seeing everything fine, he quickly sent the updates on the phone. Li Xue looked at him and knew whom those reports would be getting updated to. Pressing her lips together in annoyance, she huffed under her breath, "Hmph! He can take care of me and my health but would not talk to me. Such a double nature he is showing up on the show. One so caring and doting while the other all strict and ignorant! Did he really think he can ignore me as he likes? Let's he till when he can?'.
"Doctor, that will be that last time I will be allowing you to examine my wound. From now on, please don't come as I would not be needing your help" She said, getting on her worse stubbornness.
The doctor was instantly puzzled. Before leaving, he tried to persuade her but all his words were of no avail. The nurse was also troubled but just when she thought that she could persuade her, Li Xue asked her to leave.
Being an angel every time could not be a help! Sometimes one's devilishness could serve a better purpose.
