CHAPTER 102

"I trained you to go for what you want and get it. Transfer this agony and use it to destroy her happiness. It is time for you to sit up, Li Xiu. The ball is in your court. The games just began, dear. What are you going to do?"

****

As for Duan Tian, as soon as the news reached his grandfather and some investors started backing out of their deal, he called for the no-good grandson of his.

Duan Tian had since not gone to the Duan Residence in hopes to figure out how to get all the investors that would leave back.

He had been thinking of how best he could approach Mr Yu Xiaowen and apologize to him for his unruly behaviour.

But then, he knew better than anyone now, that the ball was no longer in his court. If he really wanted things to go back to normal, the person he should apologize to was not Mr Yu but Ye Cheng, the man he insulted and hoped to embarrass.

Given their brief history and what he did to him back at the hill house, he knew there was no way in this life that Ye Cheng would forgive him. Coupled with the fact that he felt Li Jing must have spoken ill about him.

And if she was his mistress as he thought, then definitely there was no way he would even give him listening ear, not after he almost slapped Li Jing at the house that day.

He knew his fate was sealed his stone. He had lost greatly because of Li Jing.

Hr did not know whether he was cursed because of knowing her but ever since he found made everything clear to her, his life has been complicated.

'Li Jing, did you curse me because you could not bear to see me and your sister happy together?' Duan Tian lamented on the inside as he swirled the glass of wine in his hands.

Where would he start from and how would he proceed? He certainly did not know and rather chose to drown his sadness away with alcohol.

Because of his drunken self, he had not checked the news or go to any social media to check the happenings in the city.

He felt like by now the news about his disgrace would be circulating all around and so did not want to further kill his brain, so he stayed away from the news and his phone.

As he lay down on the couch in his living room with the drink still in his hand, his eyes dropped close to relax when suddenly his phone rang, pulling him out of his near dreamland.

The shock had made him spring up from the sofa and accidentally spilt the content of his wine glass on himself.

"Aish! Fuck! Damn it!" he cursed and dropped the glass cup on the centre table then used his hands to dust the drink away from his body before shifting out of the chair so his hands could reach his phone and picked it up.

He brought the phone closer to his face and read out the name of the caller, drunkenly. "Grandpa Duan Yun."

Immediately he finished pronouncing the name, his eyes shot wide open. He immediately rubbed at his eyes with his free hand before answering the call and placing it on his ear.

"Duan Tian!"

From his grandfather's angry tone of voice, he knew he had been found out and there was no hiding it anymore.

"Grandfather."

"Do not grandfather me. I do not have a useless grandchild like you. Do you know the embarrassment you have caused me?" The elderly man's angry voice echoed through the phone into Duan Tian's ears, clearly showing his displeasure.

"Grandfather, let me explain, please."

"Explain what, you goof for nothing boy?"

"Father-in-law, please do not be too hard on your grandson." Duan Tian could gear his mother's voice over the phone pleading on his behalf.

"Nonsense. It is your attitude towards him that is spoiling him, woman."

"Grandfather, I am sure there is a mistake, let Tian come home and explain." Once again, another member of their family, his younger sister was pleading on his behalf.

"He could not even man up and return home after causing so much trouble for us. What kind of a son is he?"

Duan Tian's grandfather, Chairman Duan Yun screamed at them with the phone still close to his mouth, causing his grandson to take the phone away from his ear lest his eardrum goes kaboom!

"And you want to make him the heir to my company?" Chairman Duan Yun added, irking his brows at the as his brows furrowed in a deep frown. "No way."

"Father-in-law, please do not make such decisions." His mother chipped in.

"We would know what my decision would be when he returns. And you, you better take your sorry house away from that house of yours and run down here immediately."

"Grandfather, let him fix the mess he created but do not take away his position as the heir. That would only make you look bad in the eyes of others."

Duan Tian did not know whether his mother was helping or he was worsening his situation. How the hell did she expect him to fix the mess not only he created?

"Tian, I know you can hear me, ask that fiancé of yours to fix this trouble or she can kiss her spot goodbye since she contributed to the problem," his mother yelled from the other end, making sure he heard her.

"What useless fiancé is that? I have not recognized anyone as the fiancé of my grandson. I haven't accepted her yet and she is already bringing ruins to my company."

Without being told, Duan Tian knew he would get eaten up by his grandfather before he got to the Duan Residence.

"Why don't I hear the sound of a car moving? Are you still in that house?"

Immediately, Duan Tian sprang u on his feet and rushed to get his car keys. "No grandfather. I am on my way already."

"I give you three minutes to get here and I do not care how you do it."

"Yes, grand…"

Beep-beep!!

Before he could finish his sentence, the call went dead. His grandfather cut the call on him.

He was so mad right now that he could punch a wall and his fist would leave a big dent in its wake.

Duan Tian just could not believe he was the one suffering these endless insults.

"Urgghh! Li Jing, I would make you pay for this," he said through gritted teeth.

With no choice left, he immediately ran out of his house.
