CHAPTER 571
"Hao Huizhong is my brother."
GBAGBANNN!
"You said?!"
"I said, Hao Huizhong is my half brother."
Just breaking the news was way more than that. It was brain shaking for Li Jing who could barely believe what she had heard.
"Wait, wait, wait."
"I understand this is too overwhelming for you. But relax."
"I cannot relax. How in God's na did this even happen to you?"
"? Well, technically not . It was all a product of my father's infidelity. Guess what?"
She did not say anything but the look in her eyes gave her away that she was indeed eager to hear the next trending annoying news.
"I found out that it wasn't my mother's friend's accident which separated my parents that ended up making him start cheating on her. It was sothing that he had done before and when this happened, his old habit resurfaced."
"Oh, I am so sorry."
"No. It is annoying. All this while mum felt he loved her and cherished her all the way but he kept a big-hearted secret from her by sleeping with his personal assistant."
"It must be so hurtful."
"Very. He…" Ye Cheng's voice broke and he changed his sitting position turning away from Li Jing and just sitting with both elbows on his knee as his hand ca to form an arc before his face.
From the side where Li Jing sat down, she could see the anger on his face but he turned so as not to show it to her.
Reaching out to him, she gently touched his shoulder. "Hey. It is not your fault honey. It is so not your fault whatever decisions your father made. You are not the cause."
"Not but my mother. She would be broken if she finds out."
"So what do you want to do? Keep her in the dark? You know that keeping her in the dark would only end up backfiring on you when she finds out. Nothing remains hidden forever."
"I know but it would break her."
"I think you should believe more in your mother."
'What?"
"Look at ," she tried getting him to turn around as they sat face to face and could discuss more. "Your mother, Li An, she is a strong woman and no weakling. She knew what she was doing making sure most shares went to you and not him."
"Well, she is smart I know."
"Do you think she would not know when he was cheating on her? Every woman has a sixth sense and instincts that can detect such. He may have thought he took hold of the advantage that she was broken to do his flings till she found out. My guess, she found out way before then and planned her next course of action. So give her so credit."
"I know she is tough."
"Great, then it is better she hears it from you, her son than she hears it from your father. It would hurt her the more knowing you knew and you kept it a secret from her. By the ay, the way Hao Huizhong is going, waiting for now to say this, there may be other hidden plots."
"True but now, we have not ascertained that his claims are true. I know my father. He loves his wealth so much and would not just allow any bastard son walk into his life without proper proof and not the one he brings with him."
"I understand and which is why you and your mother needs to sit down and discuss. If Hao Huizhng is bringing up a sneaky plan, it is your duty as heir of Dream Star Corporations and his CEO to ensure you bring him down and all their ploy is exposed."
"Thanks, darling. Thanks for your support."
"Anyti, my love. Any ti. So now, you need a plan."
"Yes but then though, whatever he arranges is not so much of my problem."
"And why is that?"
"He has his share of the company and it is his to give not mine."
"Okay" She nodded in understanding.
"But then again," Ye Cheng paused and bit down on his lower lip.
"I do not want him close to this company. I believe he plans on using this to enter the company and unfortunately manipulate his way around things as he did before."
"Then we must stop him. Even if you cannot stop your father from giving up so of his shares, you would have to do sothing and ensure eyes are on him that would prevent him from ever repeating such attempt again."
"Yes. I need Yi Wang Lei now. We must make adequate plan and preparation just in case he really is my half brother."
"I am sorry love. I truly am. This is not what you need again at this point."
"It is what we face as rich folks. Even the rich also cry, Li Jing. We do."
"I understand but relax. We would scale through, just like always."
"Yeah. I am glad that I have you here with . Thanks for always being my strength, my love. Thanks for being the shoulder that I can cry and lean on."
"We promised to always be there and you are my best friend. I have to do so. No choice and I love you so much so it is not questionable."
"Thanks, still." He licked his lower lip as his gaze fell to hers. His mind had already shifted. Just appreciating her he thought of giving her a lovely reward, one worthy of all she had done for him.
"Can I kiss my baby?" Ye Cheng asked.
"Like heck, you need permission for that." She stood a bit and landed on his lap while giggling away her worries.
Before he could get himself, she already had her hands wrapped around his neck. Using one of her hands, she pulled his head down, closer to hers. "Since you need my permission honey, here is it.." With that, she gazed into his enchanting eyes and kissed him eagerly.
