Chapter 1315 From when did my brother become amiable?
Feng Yi Lan has been following and studying Weasley's design for a long while, not to mention she was also one of her fans who was blindly following her all this while. There was no way she would ever be wrong in guessing her designs. So, the moment she saw it she was the first to announce it.
When she turned to look at Li Xue, she saw her doubtful eyes and immediately said, "Do you think I would really fail to recognize her designs? Dear, Weasley follows a particular pattern in her work, and something similar to that pattern I have seen on WeiWei's gown. Believe me, it's definitely Weasley."
She said and her words were not something that Li Xue could doubt. But what struck her was the name of Weasley. Although the world doesn't know who the mysterious designer was, she knew her very well. And that person's involvement somewhat made her frown.
Even though Yi Lan has said that it was Weasley, she found no reason for her to be behind it. After all, her daughter was not in any way related to that lady. Then why would she design the costume for her?
As her brows tugged in a frown, Feng Shufen was first to notice it. Reaching to hold her hands, he was first to ask, "Is there something?"
Li Xue turned to look at him and didn't say anything. He understood her seriousness and didn't pry more to ask at the moment. Instead, giving her a pat of assurance on her hands, he said, "Tell me about it when we go back home."
He said and Li Xue nodded. While at the same time something struck Feng Yi Lan. Turning at once she asked with a tone full of curiosity. "By the way, girl, why would Weasley design the Cinderella costume? Never heard of him creating one. Is this his new work?"
"..." Li Xue stayed silent. At that moment, she wanted nothing but to confront the lady to ask her motive. But again, she was sure that no matter how she would ask her, the lady would simply not give her the answers. Because giving answers was simply not her forte.
"Li Xue, do you think Weasley has been sponsoring this play?" Feng Yi Lan guessed but then shaking her head, she refuted her own theory. "No, that can't be possible? Why would Weasley sponsor a simple child's play? If he really wants to sponsor something, he would not lack options in this world." She said and her words really made sense. And Li Xue knew it very well.
"Li Xue …" Before she could use more brains to guess, Li Xue halted her with her words.
"Yi Lan, we would later go and ask her teacher about it. There is no use in guessing it right now. The play is already going on on the stage. Don't you want to enjoy it?"
She said and Feng Yi Lan turned to look at the stage. While they were discussing their own thing several parts of the play had already been passed.
"Oops, we already missed a lot. If the little chipmunk came to know about it, she would become upset. You better not tell her later, okay?" Feng Yi Lan said and Li Xue agreed with her. Then she also turned to look at the stage before pushing all her thoughts to the back of her mind.
The play has already proceeded towards the end. On the stage, with the entry of Avron, the audience all went silent. Earlier they were awestruck at just the sight of Cinderella, but now even the prince was making them speechless. They must say that the school must have worked really hard to find such a good pair for the lead characters. Looking at them, the feelings were coming true.
"Just look at them. How perfect they look in their attire."
"I must say the recent generation is not brought up brilliant, they are born with brilliance."
"Yes, did you see them dance? I had never seen such small kids doing the ball dance steps so elegantly. They must have really worked hard to bring it to such perfection,"
"True, but it is not just their efforts. It must also be their inbuilt talent. Otherwise, my son has been practicing dance for more than seven years now, yet it seems like he is far away from attaining such perfection. So, some children are just born with talents and these two are born like that."
As the audience looked, the pair of Cinderella and her Prince did the concluding steps of their last dance. Their moves were appropriate, clearly showing the efforts that have been put together to bring the piece beautifully.
The music on which they were doing steps was melodic, almost making the people forget about the time and surroundings. It was not until the music faded away did the people realize that the performance was long over. A round of thunderous claps rang in the air as people applauded everyone participating in the group act.
Once it was all done, the group of students bowed down to show their gratitude to the audience for their patience, and at that time the announcer climbed up the stage to speak the last few words to conclude the event.
As the event got over, the lights of the auditorium slowly and slowly returned back to their originality. The crowd started dissipating first. Some moved to wait for their children outside, while some went to get their kids from the backstage.
Feng Yi Lan when happened to see parents taking their kids from backstage, she was elated. At once reaching out to hold Li Xue's arms, she said, "Dear, let's go and get little chipmunk back. See, parents can go there to take their kids." She said all eager to pull Li Xue.
But right when she could do so, she felt Li Xue's body getting all stiff at her place. She would simply not move no matter how she tried. Tugging her brows in confusion, she turned to look at her only to find her standing all nonchalant as if it was not her fault for standing there unmoved.
"Li Xue, you …"
Before Feng Yi Lan could complain, Li Xue gave an expression of surrender to her and then gestured to her to look behind her.
Feng Yi Lan huffed and tilted her head slightly to look behind Li Xue only to find her brother standing with a poker face while holding the girl's arms. "Brother, what are you doing? Let go of her arms, we are going to take WeiWei from backstage."
Feng Shufen frowned, "Parents are allowed to take their kids back. Are you one of WeiWei's parents?"
"I … I am her aunt and I could accompany Li Xue to get her. Can't I?" Feeling unjust, Feng Yi Lan said before turning to complain to Li Xue, who nodded to her. And seeing her nod, she smiled and turned back to look at her brother with confidence to add, "Did you see that? I can go with her to take WeiWei. One of the parents would be enough, so …"
"Any kid's aunt would be counted as guardian. So, you can't go in. We will go there and take her back." he said and without waiting for another second, pulled Li Xue along with him.
Feng Yi Lan was all speechless. She lunged forward to hold Li Xue's arms but her brother had been too swift with his moves. Before she could even reach her, he has already tugged Li Xue under his arms before taking her away, while leaving Feng Yi Lan behind to stomp her feet.
"Cruel one! How dare he do such a thing with me? Little chipmunk is my niece and I am her Aunt and also her godmother, then how come I can't go to take her from backstage. What does he mean by a guardian? Even if I am her guardian, I am still her Aunt. Who will forbid me from taking her away with me? Even Li Xue won't mind if I ask to take WeiWei away for a day."
She grumbled in a voice that was loud enough for people to hear, but luckily there were not many people around to hear her. As the event has got over, more and more people have left already.
Qi Shuai held Feng Yi Lan back. After hearing her rant out her heart, he hugged her from behind to coax her. "It's okay Yi Lan. Don't mind your brother. You know how he is. Furthermore, haven't you already gone backstage earlier? Give this chance to Shufen now. After all, he is Weiwei's father and would also want to meet her friend and others."
He said and at his words like that, Feng Yi Lan only glared at the man from the corner of her eyes. "Are you even thinking before talking? From when did my brother become amiable? He just wanted to push me away. There could be no other reason."
