CHAPTER 188

"So my dear, are you ready to face this off with this fake death bitch? Cause I know Li Xiu may be mad but she does not have enough resources to tamper with the internet like this. So that leaves us with only one option and that is, fake death girl."

"Well, I hate the fact that neither of them wants to leave me alone but I do not want to live my life like this, to be chased here And there by angry fans. If they want him, then they should have him."

Did she just say that?

"Are you serious right now?"

"Yes. Honestly, you know my life was peaceful before I met him and now thus. I have gone limelight but negatively and all these haters want to ruin me."

"Haters are gonna hate, Li Jing. What matters most is how you feel on the inside. How you feel about Ye Cheng. Do you love him?" Yin Lifen knew her friend liked Ye Cheng from, her heart but she did not know if Li Jing loved him to the point that she was willing to put up with all the rubbish going on and the hate from his ex and fans.

"I do not know yet. We, I still need to figure things out but I really like him, Yin Lifen."

"Then perhaps what you need is time. Time to figure it out and let your heart decide what it wants."

Yin Lifen had a point. She knew that Li Jing may be a bit slow with this whole love thing and things were only going in a rush for her that was why she gave her the advice she did.

Li Jing let out an exasperated sigh as she stared into those black eyes that bore into her. She was angry a while ago but after talking with her friend, her anger calmed down a bit but she was very much pissed by the nuisance outside.

"Don't they have something better to do?"

Meanwhile, Ye Cheng had been trying to contact Li Jing since but she did not pick. His heart was beginning to ache with so much worry.

When he saw the news on the net, he felt like going bunkers. Just when he was trying to build something with her, this rubbish happened.

He had asked someone to check the situation at her place and give him a report. That was how he got to know that the situation in her house was terrible and wanted to warn her but Li Jing wasn't answering her calls.

"Come on , Li Jing. Where are you?" Ye Cheng spoke to no one as he paced about in his office. He also got a report that she had left the house since morning and was yet to return.

Just then his phone began to ring, pulling him out of his thoughts. Quickly he made his way over to his table to check the caller and when his eyes landed on it, his expression that was once full of hope suddenly dropped.

'What does he want at a time like this?' Ye Cheng thought to himself.

Nevertheless, he still picked his phone up and answered the call. "Hello, father."

"Ye Cheng! What the hell is going on lately?" Ye Sheng asked. He had heard everything about how well the company was doing well and how all of a sudden, Yu Group lunched an outstanding marketing advertisement that would definitely catapult their business."

"I am clearly aware of all that, father."

"If you are aware, why isn't Dream Star doing something to counter that advertisement and ensure it stays top of all the businesses continuously?"

Ye Cheng felt like face palming himself. How could his father think this way? Says who they were not doing something to counter it?

"Rather you are busy chasing after girls. What kind of scandal is going on now, huh Ye Cheng? Don't you know this whole things is bad for the company's image? We should be hearing positive things about Dream, Star Corporation and not that the CEO of Dream Star is seen kissing this girl today and all that rubbish."

"Father."

"Save it." Ye Cheng pursued his lips. He was already having enough on his plate and was definitely not in need of any more troubles. He clenched his fist so fight that his knuckles paled and his brown eyes darkened, reddening in their wake.

He was mega worried. Li Jing was going to once again be at arm's length and in danger. She was not close by, how could he protect her?

This was why he asked her to take Hua Duyi everywhere with her so that when things like this happens, he can easily instruct Hua Duyi to bring her to his place for her safety.

"Ye Cheng! Are you there?" Ye Sheng yelled into the phone.

He had completely forgotten his father was on the phone and spaced out. "The way you handling the company now, if you do not fix things I would be forced to call for a board meeting and put someone else." Ye Sheng threatened and that had irked the already angry Ye Cheng.

"If you do not have better things to talk about, I would hang up the call now."

"Ye Cheng don't you dare."

"Need I remind you that I am the CEO now and I own over half of the shares of the company and if you really want to go down that road with me, you would lose, father."

"Imagine the level of impudence. Ye Cheng! Have you lost your senses?" Ye Sheng was beginning to have a feat at his son's impudent behaviour but honestly there was nothing much he could do.

"Goodbye. If you want to discuss removing me, I am afraid you need to discuss with mother first and that would require the two of you in the same room which we clearly know is impossible."

"Ye Cheng!"

"Bye."

POM!

The call ended and Ye Cheng picked his car keys and kept the phone in his pocket. He was not ready to do business stuff right now.
