CHAPTER 192

"Calm down," Ding Jiaying tried consoling Li Xiu. "She would get out of our lives by the time we are done with her and made her a wretch."

"When, mum, when?"

"Soon, my darling. Patience."

"I doubt that would happen soon, mum."

"Do you doubt my words?"

"I know you can do what you say you would do but we have a problem. She has Ye Cheng backing her and even Mr Kang. He pulled out from our business deal at the last minute of signing."

"What?"

"I just got a call from Hao Zhi Ruo about the news. He pulled out mum. He left. How am I going to face father with this problem?"

Ding Jiaying’s face grimaced after hearing what her daughter had to say. It was true they were in for some mega threats from her father.

"Gosh, I am sick of that man. How can he just travel and leave the company to his young daughter to handle? Ahh! I need to do something now," Ding Jiaying lamented out loud.

"Mother, what do I do? How do I get men to invest in the company?" Li Xiu was already at her wit’s end. To her, she was weighed down and there was nothing she could do.

"Lest I remind you whose daughter you are Li Xiu? Do not have that kind of attitude. Do not give up. Li Jing has seen nothing yet."

Ding Jiaying was determined now more than ever to make Li Jing pay for the embarrassment her daughter and family had to face.

"Ever since you appeared in my life, things have gone out of hand. You stole our joy, so do not think you can have the last laugh. I would make sure you suffer considerably."

"What would we do mother? What is your plan?"

"Relax, Li Xiu. Things would fall out and come to play nice and easy."

"If you say so, mother."

"Cry no more my dear, cry no more."

She pressed her daughter’s head back into her bosom and patted her head as her eyes darkened, displaying the contents of her heart in them.

On the other hand, Duan Tian was having his own fit at how things that were suddenly becoming so nice turned sour. He did not need a second telling of what his father was going to do to him not to talk of his grandfather, Chairman Duan.

He was going to be in a big soup.

Ring!

Ring!

Duan Tian picked up his phone to check the caller and when he saw that it was his grandfather, he turned the phone upside down.

There was no way in hell was he going to pick that call. He already knew he was going to get the scolding of a lifetime.

He knew that with the big withdraw his family’s company had, his grandfather had obviously heard it.

’Why can’t I have a day full of peace and fun to enjoy my success with Li Jing and her new dog let me rest. How can a man be doing so much for his mistress? Isn’t she just a side toy? Why hasn’t he done away with her yet?’

Duan Tian’s thought was a mess and once again, poor goody two shoes Li Jing took the blame for his failure.

Ring!

Ring!

He turned his phone around to check the caller. This time it was his mother that was calling. He knew better than to reject her call as she was his only ally sometimes.

"Hello, mother."

Rather than his mother’s voice, what he heard was, "Duan Tian! Bring your sorry ass to the family house right away!"

He quickly pulled the phone from his ear, lest his eardrum should go in for it.

"Yes sir." It was his grandfather’s voice that came through the phone. "Sly cunning old man. He knew I would pick mother’s call. Tsk, mother why did you betray me like this?" Duan Tian lamented.

"You said?"

Duan Tian’s eyes widened in their sockets as he realized that he had not yet ended the call before speaking. It was a good thing that he had spoken in a low tune or else he would have dug his own grave by himself.

"Nothing, Grandpa."

"Get your ass out of that house NOW!" Duan Tian needed no more invitation than that and made his way out of the house in a hurry.

~Ye Cheng’s Personal Mansion~

Yin Lifen had refused to go home and followed Ye Cheng in her car till she got to his house. She was not willing to leave her friend just like that and Ye Cheng after much persuasion gave in.

He called for Long Lei before he got to the house and judging from the urgency in his voice, Long Lei quickly drove over to his house with his briefcase.

By the time he got to the room where Li Jing laid down, he met Ye Cheng pacing in the room and as soon as Ye Cheng saw him, he stopped. His eyes held a certain pain and worry in them.

Long Lei could tell it was serious. This was the second time he heard Ye Cheng’s voice call out in such urgency and his eyes look so pained.

The first time was when he lost her when they were kids. He had not gotten to know her name and just when he had started talking to her, he chose to get a toy for her from inside the house and before he got back she had gone.

He cried and yelled after her but the car carrying her was already gone. He only saw her small hands wave outside the car and ever since then she became lost to him forever.

His mother had promised him that he would see her again but up till date, there had been no news of her and no one knows if she was dead or alive.

"Long Lei." His voice betrayed the strong exterior he was putting on right then and made him look weak a bit like he was going to break any time soon.
