CHAPTER 829 — Pissed Huizhong
Li Jing's mind was filled with thoughts on the recent happenings around her. One was Ye Cheng's reveal by his mom. The second was her disturbing foster mother and sister. She did not know whom to speak with to make any reasonable decision. While she could confide in Ye Cheng, she did not want to raise his hopes on anything. There could be a lead, and at the sa ti, there may not be any leads whatsoever. She saw firsthand how he felt affected when his investigation led to another dead end and he felt terrible about delivering the ssage to her mother. If this lead ended up being the sa, what could she possibly do? Watching him feel defeated was a no for her. Clutching the steering wheel tightly, Li Jing made her decision. If she could not let Ye Cheng know, then perhaps her grand-aunt or Yin Lifen would be the best option. "Hey Siri," her voice rang out, connecting with her phone. "Call Fen-Fen."
"Calling Fen-Fen."
She blinked, trying her best to focus on the road while her mind darted back and forth with the clues before her. "He may not have caused it, but there must be a connection to all these. Why was his car there?"
The sound of the call going through jolted Li Jing from her reverie. But after several rings, the result was the sa: no answer.
"Hey Siri, call Auntie."
Once again, the automated AI intelligence reply echoed in her car. In the end, Li Jing shook her head. The mont she needed them the most, they were nowhere to be found. "Fine. Sleeping on it and ensuring I tackle this situation and a good way to go around it by morning."
Arriving at their mansion first, she was inford of Ye Cheng's abrupt departure for his mother's house. Although she felt scared for what may have happened, she knew her husband. If sothing terrible occurred in her absence, Ye Cheng would have placed a call to her by now. And since he didn't, that ant he had the situation under control. ************** After her call with Li Xiu, Bai Qing i's smirk grew. They would stand a chance of ruining Androda now or taking her position. She picked up her phone from the bedside drawer, her eyes raking through it till she found the contact she was searching for.
"Huizhong may not approve of this thod but I believe that for to gain Ye Cheng back or make him suffer as I have, I will have to go unconventional and ensure she stays out of his life."
"Hello, Huizhong." Her lips curled upward. Slowly, Bai Qing i made her way to her bed and sat down with both legs crossed on her bed. "How are you?"
"I've been better. How is grandpa?"
"He is finding it a bit hard to adjust," she explained with a bored look on her face. "Anyways, I need your help."
"My help? With that?" "I think it is high ti I give Ye Cheng sothing to think about and distract him," Bai Qing i suggested. "We can but haven't you done that before? And it did not seem to work," he reasoned. "That is because we were taking the lion out of his house."
"Getting into his house is an understatent. You and I cannot just waltz in and out doing what we want without facing serious consequences."
"What? Do not tell you, his older brother, are feeling scared of your younger sibling." She folded her hand in front of her chest. Where Hao Huizhong was, he clenched his fist. He hated how Bai Qing i got to him with words and wanted to ta her with any chance or opportunity she got.
"I am not scared. However, I need to tread carefully." Bai Qing i scoffed. "Or have you forgotten I am still waiting for him to hand over my shares of the company?"
"Tch. All you care about is your shares and not our revenge."
Money was not her problem. All his life, he had to struggle and fight for all he had just because he had a father who never recognized him. "How about we cause so big problems and go out with a bang?!" Her voice was high-pitched, and her tone filled with the thrill of the problem she was about to cause.
His eyes imdiately shot open, red and shining with anger. She had her father and grandfather's company in her na as the future heiress. Money was not her problem. All his life, he had to struggle and fight for all he had just because he had a father who never recognized him. "How about we cause so big problems and go out with a bang?!" Her voice was high-pitched, and her tone filled with the thrill of the problem she was about to cause.
But sothing else ate at his heart. The way she always downplayed him did not make Ho Huizhong feel good about himself. "Well, I cannot risk anything at this point. Revenge or not, mine was centred on getting what rightfully belonged to as Ye Sheng's son. You, on the other hand, are playing your grandfather's ga."
"Pardon?"
"Yes, Qing i you heard right. Hell, even your obsession with Ye Cheng wasn't until he moved on past you and fell for Li Jing."
"Take that back," she spat bitterly. "Why? Because the truth hurts?" Hao Huizhong scoffed. He wished he could see Bai Qing i's face so he could tell her what rich spoiled brat she was at tis. "Hao Huizhong!" Bai Qing i yelled, rising to her feet and clenching her right fist. "What? Face it. You are used to getting what you want. You are not used to being rejected and when he did not fawn over you so you hoped, you beca obsessed with wanting him. Deep down Qing i, you only see him as a toy who got taken from under your arm."
Although she knew everything he said was true, it hurt her nonetheless. Ye Cheng was hers, just like Hao Huizhong was. She may not have loved Ye Cheng or Huizhong but she found peace with him. He understood her and accepted her for who she was. "Huizhong!"
"Qing i, call selfish but yes, I am tired of helping you chase after another man. If you really want revenge, go after Ye Cheng's life!"
