Chapter 1278 She was righteous and strong.
"What are you saying LanLan? Qi Shuai could feel Feng Yi Lan crying on the other side of the call through her muffled sobs. "Why would Xiao Xue do that? Have you two argued over sothing?"
Feng Yi Lan shook her head, "Nope, we didn't."
"Then what made you think that your friendship would be getting over? I have seen you sharing a very smooth and beautiful bond. Not until you two get old, I am confident you won't even have fights?" He tried to coax but Feng Yi Lan on the call was too adamant about her theory.
"No, no, Brother Shuai, you are not understanding it. It's not about having simple fights, it's about betrayal. Li Xue now must be thinking that I betrayed her." She said as Qi Shuai heard her breaking into pants on the other side. Her voice was coming out in pain and just by hearing her control her sobs, he could say that she must have been crying for so ti now.
And her cries like that were making him lose his calm. Not quite understanding what had actually happened to her, he tried to ask her from anew. "LanLan, first stop crying and wipe your tears. Then tell the whole thing. What betrayal are you talking about?"
He said and heard Feng Yi Lan sniffling her sobs on the other side. She took her ti and he assud that she must be following his words. After a while, he finally heard her say. This ti her voice sounded a lot better than before.
"Brother Shuai, do you know a few days ago Li Xue was attacked?"
Qi Shuai's expression changed sowhat as he could guess what she was about to say. He hesitated for a mont but then humming he agreed, "Yes, I have heard of it."
"That attack was planned by no other but my mother. She did it. She wanted to kill Li Xue and make my brother suffer the pain so, she hired n to do it. Can you imagine her viciousness? She dared to kill her without even thinking about who Li Xue actually is." She said, sharing her guilt.
She expected the man to say sothing in reply. But when even for a good mont of ti, she heard nothing from him, she frowned. It took a while for her to comprehend his silence but when she did, she felt more broken. "You knew it already?"
"Yes, I knew it was her but …"
Before he could say more, Feng Yi Lan cut his words short, "You knew it yet you didn't tell . You know this is the second ti. Didn't you promise that you will tell everything, then why did you hide it from ?"
"LanLan, hear to first. I …"
"How many sins of my mother have you kept hidden from . Was this the only one or are there many?" Feng Yi Lan was in a weak state of mind and when she heard Qi Shuai telling her that he already knew those things, she felt that he has hid it again from her.
Qi Shuai understood where Yi Lan's distrust was coming from. He wasn't upset with her for that rather at that mont he felt like there was nothing more important than calming her down. "LanLan hear first. I understand that you are upset but believe I never planned to hide it from you. It was just that I just found it out from Shufen that I co to know it. I was thinking of telling you but didn't know how I should."
He said and it was then Feng Yi Lan realized, "Wait! Did you say that my brother knew this already?"
Qi Shuai paused for a mont but then he humd, "It was Li Xue who got attacked. Do you think he would let it go just like that?"
"He won't and that's what is scaring that woman. She is a ss right now, already waiting for death to co to her." Feng Yi Lan said, not forgetting the sight of her mother she has witnessed back in the room.
Qi Shuai was puzzled. "You an your mother already knew about Shufen's knowledge?"
Feng Yi Lan humd, "She has fallen sick already. I ca ho only to see her coming to beg for help." She spoke. Although her tone gave a hint of disdain towards the old lady, Qi Shuai still halted with so thought. After giving a good ponder, he asked.
"So, what are your plans? Are you going to help her?"
"…" the line went silent for a while but then after a mont, he heard her say, "Why should I? She committed sins and for every sin, there would co a punishnt. I want to see how many punishnts she would be able to sustain."
She said, and Qi Shuai couldn't help but hold a smug on his expression. He knew his girl was both righteous and strong. There would be no way she would support wrong even if it ant punishing her own mother.
"LanLan, I am so happy to have you. I couldn't have gotten anyone better than you." He said and Feng Yi Lan felt softened at his words. But then she realized sothing that she missed in between her words.
"Brother Shuai, I almost forgot the main reason for which I called. Li Xue …"
Before she could say more, Qi Shuai interrupted to say, "You might have gotten sothing wrong, LanLan. Li Xue is not upset with you. If Feng Shufen doesn't bla you, she knows you better than him. How could she bla you?"
"But she is not picking up my calls. I almost called her more than twenty tis but there is no answer." She said and Qi Shuai coughed on the other side.
"About that, I can't say it myself. Xiao Xue is here in Shufen's office and …" he didn't complete his words but rather paused it ambiguously in the half.
