Chapter 1316 Li Wei's grandmother.
Soon, Li Xue and Feng Shufen reached backstage and met with the teacher with a smile. Greeting her, she asked permission to take WeiWei away and the teacher heartily nodded. But agreeing to them, she didn't let them just walk away.
In a short time, Li Wei has become the best student in the class and the precious student of almost all the teachers. Without praising her with the best compliments, she didn't let her parents walk away.
Although Li Xue and Feng Shufen had been hearing the class teacher, still his eyes wandered around to find his little one. Soon spotting her at a distance, he slowly patted Li Xue, only to let her know that he would go around to get her.
Li Xue smiled and nodded to him, but just when he would have walked away, she held him back to remind him, "Don't forget to invite her friend to her birthday party the day after tomorrow. Especially Avron. Okay?"
Feng Shufen paused but when he saw Li Xue all firm with her demeanor, he could only nod at her.
Li Xue smiled and let him go, while she stayed behind with the teacher.
"Now, I get why Li Wei has been brought this well." Suddenly the teacher said and Li Xue turned to look at her with a jutted brow of confusion.
"Sorry, Ma'am. But may I know what you are referring to?"
The teacher smiled and shook her head. "Mrs. Feng, although no family cares less for their children, still in the busy life of today's age, the kids are having a tough time connecting to their parents. The parents have become busier and busier in their lives. Of course, they are working hard to provide their children with better life and amenities. Still, amidst all these, they forget that for whom they are working, need their time more than anything else. And this is something that affects the little innocent souls. They get lonely and that affects their personality, leading them to become rude and distant."
"But regarding you guys, I see the difference. Even though you and President Feng are very busy, you still make time for Li Wei every time. The bond between her and you people is very clear. And your teachings are evident in her personality." The teacher spoke. Being in the field of nurturing the little ones, the teachers were the ones to know what kids need the most in their lives. They speak to the parents regarding it every now and then. But even after mentioning it, again and again, the parents failed to understand this important thing.
Li Xue smiled. "WeiWei has been the most important part of our lives. We can't bear to leave her alone. But there are even times when we are unable to give her the time. But in those times, she has been the most understanding one. She never acts stubborn, so I can say that we have to give her the credit too." She said and the teacher undoubtedly nodded.
"Of course. Every relationship works on coordination. Even the parents and kids need to coordinate."
Li Xue smiled as her eyes turned to look at the distance where her little one was excitedly introducing her Daddy Angel to everyone. The curl on her lips deepened but just then her eyes squinted slightly at her dress as turning to look back at the teacher she asked, "Ma'am, Li Wei has yet not changed her dress. Do we not have to return it to the school?"
The teacher's brows also jutted in confusion. Turning to look at the little girl at a distance, she said, " That Cinderella gown belongs to WeiWei, Mrs. Feng. Why would she have to return it to the school?"
Li Xue's brows quirked up as frowning slightly she asked, "Belongs to her?"
The teacher felt there was something amiss. So, nodding, she explained, "Yes, Mrs. Feng. Are you not aware of this? This gown was one provided by her grandmother. She said that she has got it for her and wanted her to wear it on the stage. To go according to her aged sentiments, we didn't find it proper to refuse her. So, we agreed. And also the gown is looking so pretty on her. We would have really missed the opportunity to amaze the audience if we had refused her."
She said and Li Xue's expression hardened. But still keeping her facial expression in check, she asked with much nonchalance, "Oh I understand, Ma'am. But could you tell me when her grandmother came to make this request to you? Was it today?"
The teacher felt a bit odd but still nodded. "Yes, she has come today in the morning to request us. She even stayed here until Cinderella's play. But once the play was over she left. I met her when she was on her way out and she said that something urgent had cropped up and she had to leave."
She said and Li Xue further frowned. But not keeping the teacher too bothered, she smiled and excused herself first before getting to a corner.
"Grandmother! What was the lady up to?" She mumbled to herself before looking around in search of the lady once again but no matter where she looked the woman simply didn't come into her sight.
As the teacher has said, she must have left already. But this wasn't like her? She remembers every time she has come across their life, she would always come to meet her and bring her a new mystery to solve. Then how come it was so different this time? For the first time, she felt that the woman was running from them as if coming across would reveal her truth.
What was she hiding from her now? Was there something that she was fearing?
The more Li Xue thought, the more she felt the mystery deepening. But before she could realize what it was about, her eyes caught something more amusing at a distance and she couldn't help but walk in the direction to see what was actually happening.
While at the same time on the other corner of the backstage. After WeiWei had happily introduced all her friends to her Daddy Angel, she was looking around in search of someone. Feng Shufen realized her searching gaze like that and couldn't help but ask, "Are you looking for someone?"
The little one looked up at her Daddy Angel with some thought and then nodded. "Yes, Daddy Angel, I am searching for Senior Brother. I have told him that later I would introduce him to you and he has agreed to it but now, he is nowhere around. I don't know where did he go."
Even though Feng Shufen didn't know what Avron looked like, his eyes darted around to look for him. But not finding any particular boy around, he said, "It's okay. We can wait for him a little while."
Since Li Xue has already told him to invite the boy, he can't just leave without doing so.
Little Li Wei looked around and nodded to him as well. "Yes, Daddy Angel, we should wait for a while. I think the Senior Brother must have gone for some work and he would return soon." She said before she pulled her Daddy Angel to take a seat on the bench behind.
And as she said, not after too long her eyes caught the sight of Avron at a distance. Her eyes glittered as she called out in her cheerful voice, "Senior Brother!"
The moment she called like that, Feng Shufen's gaze turned to look at the boy, who was also walking his way to them. With one glance, he could tell he was not a resident of Chiboa and that explained why he was here as an exchange student.
Avron's eyes remained fixed on WeiWei. Even though he gave a fleeting gaze to Feng Shufen, he soon turned again to look at Li Wei in concern. Reaching her, he said, "Here, take this and drink." He said as extended a bottle of orange juice out to the little girl.
WeiWei looked down at the bottle and pressed her lips in confusion before looking at the face of the boy to say, "But I am not thirsty. Earlier, I was but then I brought my water bottle. After drinking water from it, I am no longer thirsty."
She said and the little boy's brows tugged in a small frown as he looked at the bottle of orange juice to say, "You were sick a few days back. You should drink more water and juices to keep hydrated. That way you won't fall sick often. So drink it, okay?"
WeiWei nodded, understanding his concern, and then took the bottle of orange juice. "Okay, WeiWei will drink it after some time." She said and Avron nodded to her. But his eyes darted to look at the man beside her. To which, Wei Wi introduced first.
"Senior Brother, this is my Daddy Angel. Since I said I will introduce you to him, I was waiting for you to come."
Feng Shufen stared at the little boy. At usual times his expressions used to be cold but at a moment like this, he has particularly kept himself better to not scare the kids.
"Hello! Mr. Feng. It's nice to meet you."
