<h4>Chapter 71 - A beautiful white flower.</h4>


    "Where is she?" Feng Shufen asked, when he did not find Li Xue inside his car after returning back. Though he has never gone to the ces that had crowds around but looking at the two angels by his side, he felt like it would be only better if he does these jobs for them.


    "Sir! Madam said she has to go urgently somewhere. So she left after giving this note for you", the driver said, handing him a piece of paper note.


    The man furrowed his brows as he unfolded the note.


    "President Feng! I know your time is really precious but you still epted the request of my Li Wei. Thank you for apanying us today. I would have preferred to say all these words to you personally rather than stating it in this piece of paper but something urgent cropped up. So I have to leave. Hope you will understand and will not take my actions as my impoliteness."


    When the words gotpleted, Feng Shufen remained silent for some moment, still keeping his eyes on the paper as if he was searching for something on it. Not getting that something on it, he pulled out his phone and dialed.


    "Gao Fan! Check if there is something troubling around Li Xue"


    _________


    At some fancy restaurant,


    Li Xue entered beautifully garnering everyone''s attention towards her for a moment. "Hello! I have been looking for a friend", she asked.


    The waitress''s eyes shone as it paused at her. "Ah! I am sorry. Are you Ms. Li Xue?", she asked to make sure that she did not take the wrong person to the wrong ce.


    Li Xue nodded her head giving her the approval she needed and immediately was guided toward a private dining room. "Mam, please this way"


    On reaching the designated room, the waitress knocked politely before pushing the door open for her. Li Xue too gave a grateful nod to her for guiding the way and then got inside the room. As she entered, her whole demeanor changed like the air had suddenly changed its direction. Herposure was nonchnt like nothing can bother her but eyes were pointed towards a particrdy at the table.


    It was Wen Sying, sitting elegantly at the table along with the several other people. It was like some get together. "Aey! Is that really Li Xue", someone from the midst eximed.


    "Yes, it is her. She still looks all like before", another one remarked as everyone''s eyes got fixed at her.


    "I agree. Looking at her now, it feels like we have got back to our college days"


    "Why are you making her so high? Is she the same who brought a scandal because of her face?"


    "Huh, you are right. She has got that face only to make another woman''s husband have an affair at their back".


    Words started getting more and more vicious as the voices increased, but Li Xue remained unfazed with those words like they never reached her ears. Her such easy going behavior irked almost every woman there. They were about to bacsh her in a more severe way when suddenly Wen Sying stood up and said, "Enough guys! Don''t say those words. It will hurt Li Xue. We are here to celebrate the small reunion"


    On her words, everyone got silent like her words made everyone guilty. Looking at them like that, Li Xue rolled her eyes as a mockery smile got over her expression.


    "Li Xue is my friend and I know her the best. Whatever was reported five years back was just some misunderstanding. She can''t do anything like that", Wen Sying added looking at the woman whose eyes were having no more warmth and cheerfulness in it that it once had whenever they were with each other.


    Now seeing her so cold towards herself she felt really weird. She pushed her chair back and went to receive her once known best friend. "Li Xue! It''s so good to see you again. I never thought that you would ept my request ande here. It seems like nothing has changed between us. We are still the best friends people have always known. Look I have saved a spot for you over there. Let''s go and sit down"


    Wen Sying said as she leaned forward to hug her. But Li Xue was not in apulsion to give her any face. Not that she still considers her as her friend. She has once taken her as a very valued friend in her life but now her words or feelings do not concern her.


    So when she tried to wrap her arms around her for a hug, she put her hands up and restrained her from doing so. "Ms. Wen, I think you are mistaken here. Though I havee here for this small lunch reunion, that does not mean that I take you as my friend. For me, I don''t think my friendship is that easy to give away in charity. I am no more interested in getting myself surrounded with bunch of useless people, like I did in past"


    Shepleted her words like those were the words ofpliments not some face ps that she has intended to give.? When heard her words, Wen Sying was shocked while everyone else who were sitting behind at the table felt a big jaw drop. They have never expected that along with that beautiful face, something else has also not changed in the woman.


    It was her sharp tongue that was enough to silence anyone to death. But what made them more shocked this time was the fact that those words were used for Wen Sying, the person who was once considered to be the closed one to her, a friend she has cherished with all her heart.


    In the past too, Li Xue has never cared to give anyone a face but she has always been very soft and kind to her friends. Now seeing her behaving so arrogantly with the person who took her side, they really felt bad for Wen Sying while the woman herself felt that she had been wrongly used.


    She turned to look back and found every pair of eyes sympathizing with her. Some tears welled up in her eyes which increased everyone''s emotions further.


    Looking at her now Li Xue really wanted to p at her own level of dumbness in the past. She has never thought that she was so blind that she wasn''t able to notice how good her once upon friend was in bing the white flower in front of people around.
