Chapter 822 - He could save none and none could save him.

Feng Yi Lan's eyes at once turned to look back at Feng Yi Ran as her former expression returned. "Aye, JieJie, I almost forgot to ask. Why are you here? I wasn't expecting you here." She said, darting her eyes back to look at Li Xue, who simply shook her head to show her lack of knowledge.

Feng Yi Ran didn't miss their small exchange. But she didn't bother pointing it out. Instead, her eyes went to look down at the little who was obediently standing, holding on to her mother's sleeves now. Looking a lot docile than what she has found her, earlier.

"Why can't I be here? If I have not been here, do you think I would have got a chance to meet my niece? With you guys in the family, I can no longer be sure." Feng Yi Ran said as she blinked her eyes at the little one.

Feng Yi Lan was confused. She looked at Li Xue, who was equally baffled and asked in a dumbfounded tone. "Huh? Niece? Who are you talking about, JieJie? Is it our little chipmunk?" Though there was nothing wrong in accepting WeiWei as the little niece her elder sister was referring to, still what looked weird in the picture was her specific desperate appearance to meet the little one.

Last time, she remembered when Feng Shufen had taken the stand for Li Xue and WeiWei in front of her father, Feng Yi Ran was also there in support. But supporting was one thing and coming all the way alone to desperately meet the little imp was another. Something that can't be easily seen as one.

"You looked confused, Yi Lan." Feng Yi Ran noted the expression of surprise on Feng Yi Lan's face and was not quite happy with it. Though nothing deep, still there was a flash of slight hostility against her in her eyes. Internally, she was feeling betrayed by her own younger sister. Seeing her so close to Li Xue, she could already ?ssume her knowing the truth.

"If not her, then is there also someone else here who suits the title of my niece?" She added more and Feng Yi Lan could not help but cough with the strange tone used with her. Hearing her say like that, she already understood, she has angered the woman over something. But then over what? She was puzzled.

"JieJie, I didn't mean it that way. WeiWei is the daughter of Li …" She thought to explain herself but before she could hardly begin her words, Qi Shuai interjected her from a distance.

"Exactly, Yi Lan. What are you saying? If not our little munchkin, then who else could be called Sister Yi Ran's niece. It's not like you have yet given birth to our child. Of course, it has to be our WeiWei. Right, Sister Yi Ran?"

All four pairs of eyes at once turned to look at him as he hastily descended the stairs, keeping his steps measured and restrained.

"You are also here?" Feng Yi Lan asked, her lips pressing together with some edginess in her tone.

"Mhm. How can I not be here? I mean this is my brother's house and I am here to visit him. And see, how lucky I am! Today there will be a celebration and I will be one of the lucky people attending it. Haha …" he punned but at his words none cared to laugh. Instead, just their stares remained at him.

Seeing none laughing, Qi Shuai also paused, bringing back his usual expression. Feng Yi Lan shook her head at him before turning back to Feng Yi Ran to complete what she was saying before.

"JieJie, are you upset with me? I didn't mean that way. WeiWei is the daughter of my friend, Li Xue, so I have known her from the very beginning. If I had known that you also wanted to meet her then I would have long asked you to accompany me here"

Feng Yi Ran looked at her and was still not coaxed. "You must have told me the truth before. I am upset that instead of knowing this earlier, I have only come to know about it with the relatives." She said.

Feng Yi Lan and Li Xue's brows knitted together, while Qi Shuai felt he was at the edge of losing strength. His eyes widened a little in horror as it darted, alternating between the three women at the front.

"Truth? What are you talking about, JieJie? I would never hide anything from you". Yi Lan said and at the side, Qi Shuai was about to run off the cliff in anxiousness.

There is no truth … No truth … Yi Lan just stop it there. Don't ask more or else … No, no, if this continues, I won't be able to save the situation. I would not. Qi Shuai screamed internally, alternating his eyes from one to the other in every fraction of a second.

"Yi Lan, I am a bit hungry and have not taken breakfast in a rush to reach here. Could you please go and prepare something for me in the kitchen?" Not able to get any other way, Director Qi could only say this, making the woman pass on a deadly glare at him that once made him seal his lips as he has never spoken before.

"Little Munchkin, what happened? Do you need something?" He asked in a whisper and the little girl just lifted her hand up to present him an apple.

"Have this for now, Uncle Cutie. Later, when the important discussion of Mama and Aunts would be over, we could have something delicious." Little Li Wei said with a smile of encouragement and the man could no longer understand how he should react to her kindness. Should he laugh or cry?

In the end, he could only nod at her, taking the apple for a bite. "Thank you, princess. Only you can feel the pain in my stomach." He said before looking at the front.

Feng Yi Lan felt a little fishy as she stared at Feng Yi Ran and again added. "Though yesterday, I heard that there was an official family meeting in the main mansion, I didn't get any time to attend it. So, I don't know what you are talking about, JieJie. Can you tell me more so that I can explain? I am sure there is a misunderstanding."

Feng Yi Ran looked at her. Though she looked slightly hostile on the surface, in heart she was not the one to emphasize over one topic like this. So, keeping things simple, she simply said, "I am talking about the DNA reports that were presented yesterday, Yi Lan. I have known it already. There is nothing to pretend. So come on, just introduce me to my niece now".
