Chapter 824 - Could never believe him to be person like that.

Feng Yi Lan blinked her eyes, pausing her thoughts for a moment. Her blank gaze darted to look at everyone in the room before coming back at Li Xue. "What did you say?" Though her words were asking for repetition, her main request was just to make Li Xue confirm her words again. 

"…" Li Xue didn't repeat instead, looked down with a smile while nodding. Maybe she could already guess what was coming next. And just as she had guessed, the moment Yi Lan saw her confirming, she turned daringly at her brother, pointing her finger accusingly at him. 

"You … I knew it from the beginning. Not just in name, you are actually a Devil. How did you not know this before and let my friend suffer alone? Don't you have any sense of responsibility? You are such a … such a jerk and insensitive being. If not my brother, I would have ruined you". 

"Wait! Wait for a second! Now that I think, aren't you also a figure in the country that could easily influence the media? Don't say the happenings on the internet are all your plans out of jealousy?"

She said on impulse, gritting her teeth in anger. But it was rightly said by the elders – Anger could never bring fortune.

Though the emotion of Feng Yi Lan was right at the revelation, she soon regretted being rash like that. Her eyes downed on the floor when felt the devil's threatening gaze towards her. 

Qi Shuai standing at the side coughed lightly, suppressing his laughter within. His girl was really cute. Scaring the Devil to bring to his ruins when she could not even prevent herself from getting the taste of it. 

"I … I was just saying … Don't scare me like that when you know I am not wrong."  Realizing her weakness, Feng Yi Lan amended meekly, tugging on Li Xue for safety. 

Li Xue felt bad. Her eyes turned to look at the man on her other side, before turning and ċȧrėssing the hands of her friend. "It's fine, Yi Lan. Don't blame your brother like that. He was just …"

Before she could complete her words, Feng Yi Lan raised her head to look into her eyes with traces of tears. Her expression blamed Li Xue for wronging her. "Li Xue, do you really have to be on his side? He has complete command over every sector of the country. How can he not be involved? There are high chances for him to be behind this. Just try to look for the possibility. Even JieJie has said the same earlier, just omitting his name". 

Li Xue looked at her friend, before looking at the other elder standing and reading everything in the picture. She could tell, all this time the woman was having her eyes fixed on her without showing any restriction. 

Though there was no ill-intentioned in her eyes, still she could see her taking time before opening her embrace truly of acceptance. Something that wasn't totally wrong. If she had been in her place, maybe she would have done the same.

When she felt Li Xue looking at her, Feng Yi Ran shrugged her shoulders diplomatically, neither supporting Yi Lan's ȧssumption nor rejecting it. 

"Li Xue, if you still do not believe me. You can just ask him. I am sure even being an insensitive jealous being, he would never lie to you, given to his unbreakable principles". Feng Yi Lan probed again when saw Feng Shufen standing silently with firm innocence on his face. 

"Aye, Yi Lan, Shufen will never …" Feeling Feng Yi Lan's persistence on the topic, Qi Shuai thought to come in help of his friend but before he could say anything in support, Li Xue's voice interjected to pause him halfway. 

"Yi Lan, there is nothing to ask. I believe your facts. Shufen does have a domineering influence over every sector of the country. Not only sectors but he could also influence people's thoughts. But even after knowing that I would never believe him to be behind all that because I simply know that he is not that kind of man." She said as she turned to give a tender smile to the man, whose expression was still the same. Without any trace of losing his calm and composure.

"But Li Xue, earlier he has …" 

"I know Yi Lan, he could be the man to get possessive and overbearing as hell. To an extent where he could change the whole theme of the Aurora Fashion show, omitting the involvement of any male model along my side. But I believe he would never be one to interfere with my career to such an extent. He could simply not. I believe that much in him and I know he could never". 

Feng Yi Ran was also impressed. Though it has not been long she has seen Li Xue, still she could already see her merits and capabilities. Not just in looks but also in daring and righteous attitude, she could say she was an irreplaceable match for her Little Fen. Her lips curled up to give a smile when surety regarding the things stuck her. 

While Feng Yi Lan could only press her lips, seeing her friend again getting biased towards her brother. Though she has blamed Feng Shufen regarding the things earlier, hearing Li Xue say all that with such confidence, she could not help but agree to it as well. But then again, in regard to WeiWei's case, she was still not too convinced. 

Folding her arms over her ċhėst, she hmphed lightly before turning elsewhere to avoid her friend. "Fine, fine, I agree but don't think I will let off the topic so easily. Especially about WeiWei being my real blood niece. I did not expect you to keep it a secret from me, Li Xue". 

She said and Li Xue could only turn her back to her to coax. "Fine, fine, I apologize. You can punish me as you want. I won't refuse".
