"What do you an by you are leaving?" Luo Jinhai asked. He was not feeling good about the turn of events and everything that was happening.
"I t my grandfather. My maternal grandfather is still alive and sohow he found ."
"Whoa!"
"Yeah, I understand. It is surprising. It was like that for at first and I was not ready to et him or accept sothings but I thank God that I did. It only brings closer to knowing my origin."
"Li Jing." Luo Jinhai remained still after calling out her na. It was a bit hard for him to believe what she was saying. The Li Jing that he knew always felt sad whenever she was maltreated at ho and wished she knew who her parents really were so she could leave.
But now she had t soone from her real family.
Luo Jinhai was ga happy and surprised, to say the least. "Li Jing." He called out her na again but this ti, his eyes burned with a bright smile as his lips curved upwards showing his nice set of teeth.
"Luo Jinhai, what is wrong?" Li Jing was concerned by his attitude. Yes, she knew he was glad but then she wanted him to say sothing.
"Nothing, Li Jing. Nothing is wrong. I am happy for you."
"Thank you." She returned his smile with one of hers.
Luo Jinhai pulled his chair closer and leaned forward on the table. "So tell , Li Jing, do you have any idea who your parents are now that you have seen your grandfather?"
Her face dropped instantly. The smile that shone brightly fully dimd and Luo Jinhai knew he touched a topic he shouldn’t have gone near to at all.
"Li Jing, I am sorry. I did not an to get you down. You do not have to say anything if you do not want to."
"No, it’s okay." She shook her head a bit and by the ti she stopped and stared right back at him, her usual smile returned, adding life to the now sad environnt.
Luo Jinhai heaved a sigh of relief the mont he caught a glimpse of her smile again. ’Thank goodness.’ He ntally appreciated whatever being that made her return her smile.
"I am okay, Luo Jinhai. Unfortunately, I haven’t found out who my parents were. So many things happened in the past but I believe being with my grandfather, I would get things figured out."
"Oh, alright then."
"Yes. And it is to this effect that I would be leaving to where he resides at another city."
"Now I understand," Luo Jinhai said with a nod. "It is alright. I see that things are really going well for you. I am really glad, Li Jing."
"Thank you so very much."
"It is okay. Please just do not forget you have a friend ready to assist you with whatever you need."
"Sure. I am glad to have t you. You have so much helped . I would repay your kindness in whatever way I can."
"No need for that, Liu Jing. I am happy as long as you are. My only reward is that lovely smile that you radiate and use to influence those around you."
She lowered her head at his complint, trying her best not to blush.
"You can blush if you want to but know this, Li Jing, I am not flattering you dear."
"I know." Li Jing raised her head so that she was looking at him straight in the eyes. "I am okay and thanks."
"No biggie. If you are ready, I can go and drop you off."
"Oh, no need. I can get back ho myself."
"Alright, if you insist. Shall we?"
"Sure."

anwhile, by the ti Li Xiu arrived at ho, she was inford quickly by her mother about all that had transpired with themselves and Mr. Lin Zian.
Due to the fact that Ding Jiaying was waiting for her daughter’s arrival to inform her about the happenings, she did not go to the bank on ti to claim the money.
By the ti she went with the cheque, Ding Jiaying was inford that the cheque was bounced.
"What?" Ding Jiaying’s smile suddenly changed into a frown.
Her brows furrowed deeply as the cashier lady continued speaking. "Ma’am, I regret to inform you but this is cheque is dishonored. You cannot withdraw the money."
"What do you an? I need my money."
"Ma, please do call the person that issued this cheque to you and get him to sign and approve the withdrawal."
"You an to tell now that I do not have money?" Her eyes widened in disbelief but one could see a glimr of hope in them as she expectantly waited for a favorable reply from the cashier lady.
"Yes, ma. You cannot claim the money here. I would have to bounce the cheque. Please do as I have said and we can proceed further."
"What do you take for?" Ding Jiaying half yelled at the Cashier. She was not finding it funny one bit. She was more than angry.
All her mind was that she had successfully milked sothing out from Li Jing. Her worth was finally starting to pay off, so she thought but now, all she could get from the cheque was NOTHING?
Bloody hell!
"Ma’am, please with all due respect lower your voice, you are in the bank."
The words that the cashier had said only ended up angering Ding Jiaying and she forgot her pride and lashed out at the cashier further. "Do not tell to lower my voice. Give my money and I would stay here no longer."
"Please ma, do not cause a scene here."
"Look." Ding Jiaying pointed her finger at the lady. By now her shouting had attracted others.
"If you say one more annoying word, I would be forced to do more than just shout here. What kind of useless bank is this?"
"Ma, it is not the fault of the bank that you did not ensure first and foremost that the cheque given to you was not signed."
GBANG!
"Are you mad?"
