CHAPTER 112

"Oh, if that is the case, then I guess we have something to work with. All that remains, is getting it to Ye Cheng."

"Yes. I have no doubt he would approve it."

"We never know."

"Be optimistic, Li Jing. I bet your sister can never pitch something as good as this."

Ouch! If Li Xiu could here the compliment now, I bet she would have cried her eyes out.

After everything, Mr Kang offered to take her back to the office or drop her home but L Jing refused as it was barely ten minutes to her closing time and she would be meeting Fen Fen soon.

Saying their goodbyes, Li Jing took her phone and dialled Yin Lifen's number, telling her where she was to pick her up rate than the office.

Thirty minutes later, both ladies were seated at Shadow Meadow with their orders in front of them, eating and drinking as they discussed.

For Li Jing, since she had eaten a while back, she simply took juice while Yin Lifen that particularly kept her stomach empty for their lunch could not resist eating without her friend.

"So now, tell me. What exactly is the problem?"

"It is nothing really. Someone that should have been dead or was presumed dead, came to the office today."

"And?"

"And nothing. End of story."

"Who is this someone?" Yin Lifen asked as she took a spoonful of chicken soup into her mouth.

"You do not know her."

"Okay, is she working in the company?"

"I do not think so."

"Then she came to see someone, right?"

"Yes."

"I recall you mentioning something about your friend's girlfriend, is the friend Ye Cheng?"

PFF!!

COO!

Li Jing who was least expecting her friend to mention Ye Cheng's name, instantly choke on her drink and started coughing.

Yin Lifen handed her a glass of water and waited for her to get herself before resuming her interrogation.

"You see, from your reaction, I can tell it is Ye Cheng."

"No, it's not. Why would you think so?" Li Jing averted her gaze and pretended that she was checking for any juice stains on her dress.

"Tsk, tsk… You are still pretty bad at lying. Who else do you have a friend in that huge company? The Li Jing I know, do not have too many friends and rarely make them."

"Not true."

"Your life has been so configured by your sister that you are only streamlined to a few people. So how in the world d you make another new one when you just got into the company?"

Yikes! She was found out.

"I made another friend, Han Qing Qing."

"Last I recall she is a girl, except she is a les…"

"No way."

"Then Ye Cheng it is."

"Fine, he is the one."

"Hmm, you also mentioned something about jealousy. Now I see why."

"Hey, I said I wasn't jealous. Why would I be jealous of her?" Li Jing fired back at Yin Lifen who was now grinning at her friend.

"Because she has the heart of the man you admire."

"Nonsense. I admire him alright but not in that way."

"You are an open book, Jing. Okay, forget that. Now what really happened?"

Li Jing briefed Yin Lifen on the happenings of today and Yin Lifen got a pretty good picture of the situation.

"It is not because you are my friend but my guess is, watch out for that girl, she is trouble. And from the looks of things and in the position she found you and her boyfriend, pff she would come for you."

"Let her come. I took nothing of hers."

"Whoa, feisty baby. Relax, I got your back. Leave it all to me. If she threatens you, then I would teach her not to mess with my Jing Jing."

"Aren't I lucky to have you?" Li Jing smiled at her friend then sipped her juice in her hands.

"You can say that again."

––––

At the end of the day, Ye Cheng could not speak with Li Jing because he found out she left the office on time, so he went home.

He was hoping to use this opportunity to drop her home since he hadn't done that in days and also apologize to her about today's incident.

<Author: Ahem! You dropped her home on Friday.>

<Ye Cheng: So?>

<Author: Huh, it is just Monday the last time I checked.>

<Ye Cheng: That still count as days, genius.>

<Author: Hey. That's it. You do not get to see her till next week.>

<Ye Cheng: Can you? We are the fl and ml.>

<Author: I would pretend I didn't hear that.>

By the time he got home, he tried her line but it was not available as Li Jing had already anticipated that he would call her and put her phone on Do Not Disturb mode.

<Author: Pff hehhe…>

<Ye Cheng: *Glares*>

Not being able to reach her, he decided to see her the next day and think about thongs carefully.

Everything Bai Qing Mei said today did not seem plausible to him. He was not a fool to just believe everything and anything a lady said without thinking twice about it.

'For crying out loud! Did she think I am a dummy to believe that? I do not know what I saw or I cannot differentiate between a real bomb and a fake?' Ye Cheng remarked to himself.

While he had not shown any signs of disbelieving her was because he did not want to set her barrier up against himself and not find out what needed to be found out.

For now, he was going to play along till he got to the root of it all. Also, she had been alive and decided to stay hidden.

In other words, if he had decided not to let reporter Ying Yue get his picture and re[orted that news, she wouldn't have felt threatened to come out.

He knew he should not have used Li Jing like that, but just allowing his identity to be revealed did in n doubt help in his plan.

He was now one step closer to finding out the truth about that incident.
