CHAPTER 263

"Coming into my life and being the sweet little angel that you are."

Her head felt like exploding at that second. This was indeed wonderful regardless of whether it was a compliment or not.

"Thanks."

"No need to thank me. I am only stating the truth."

"Okay. Anyways, I just wanted to inform you that I wouldn't be returning anytime…"

"Okay, but you would be back in like a week's time?" Ye Cheng asked her hurriedly.

"Honestly, no. I am giving two weeks with a deadline of grace for three weeks. Although I would try my best to finish on time so that I can return but kindly do not expect too much."

"In all sense, we have just finished the first week and if you have three weeks deadline, meaning January would end and I would not see you."

"Yes."

"Li Jing."

"Ye Cheng you must understand that this is my new life now. And I need you to be supportive. You of all people should understand how it is when you are about to take over a company. You experienced such before."

"Yeah, I did. I get it. Okay, we would keep in touch?"

"Yes, definitely."

'Okay, I am good with that. Do take care of yourself Li Jing and watch out for people trying to befriend you only to want to harm you."

"Noted. I would be cautious."

"Great. If you need help in any area, do not hesitate to let me know."

"Thanks, Ye Cheng. It means a lot."

"No problem. Bye."

Beep!

Soon enough the call went dead and both of them returned to their normal lives. Even though this had marked a cut in their life and a brake to their blooming romance, it was just the start of a love that would soon bloom.

Her leaving would afford both of them time to analyze things in their lives and if after everything they can still come together and realize that they love each other, then it was meant to be.

For Li Jing she needed the break from his bad energy enemies and he needed to focus and fight back.

While both parties were ready to take the next step in their lives, their enemies also plotted against them.

Immediately the call ended, Li Jing took her time and rearranged her things back in her wardrobe, looked at the big bedroom and sighed.

'Looks like we are going nowhere, time to live life and make the best use of my time here. I would conquer this phase in my life. I would find mother and know who my father is. Mother just wait, in time I would find you.'

Meanwhile, Li Xiu and Ding Jiaying had been devising ways to get their money back from Li Jing and her father and while all their thought seemed like a no-go area due to their one fact.

"We do not know where Li Jing and her grandfather is living exactly."

"That is not the problem, even though you know, you cannot just waltz in and meet them, claiming money," Ding Jiaying cautioned her daughter.

"Says who? I can and I will."

"Li Xiu, how do you mean exactly?"

"Have you read the morning newspaper?" Ding Jiaying did not understand what her daughter was trying to let her understand.

"No, why?"

Getting up from her seat, Li Xiu went to pick the newspaper from the centre table. "Here." She handed it to her mother who was confused but still read it notwithstanding.

"What!" Her eyes popped open at what she saw. It was the announcement Lin Zian made concerning making Li Jing the heiress to his company. "How is this possible?"

"Mother, as it stands, Li Jing is a different person and she is enjoying money."

"Right now she is untouchable," Jing Jiaying thought out loud.

"Not really." Li Jing stood up from her seat and took a walk near the TV with her hand on her jaw in a thoughtful manner. When she had seen the papers, she had been thinking of how to make Li Jing suffer.

"You said?"

"I said she is not really untouchable," Li Xiu replied again causing her mother's brows to crease.

"How? Explain."

"Take for instance we take this to the news that the Chairman of Lin group is as stingy and cannot actually repay the kindness of the Li family for bringing up his granddaughter, it would ruin his image and you know wealthy people, all they care about is their image."

"Even though you may be right Li Xiu, do not forget, you were the one who told me that our worker, Yang Yan Mei was arrested because she slandered Li Jing. Do not also forget, your father is around. Whatever we need to do to her, we need a strong backing and we should also be very careful lest it backfires on us."

Her mother had a point and no longer was Li Xiu hyperactive in bringing Li Jing down.

Initially, she was pumped up because she could not believe how Li Jing, a nobody suddenly rises to be the heiress while she remained stuck in her father's with nothing.

Even her relationship life was suffering as the Duan family got angry at her relationship with Duan Tian after their last attempt at hurting Li Jing and it backfired.

"I understand mother. Okay if we cannot do that, then shouldn't we go pay him a visit at his company and tell him he gave you a bounced cheque?"

Ding Jiaying remained thoughtful for some seconds. She knew the man was cunny and if she wanted to relate with him, she had to try and play his game.

"It would not be so easy to just waltz into his office. We would need other means."

"Fine, I would speak with Duan Tian and see if he can help us get in touch with some higher-ups."

"Alright. You do that and I would still think of better ways to make her joy cease."

***

All this while, Ye Cheng had not yet heard anything from Chairman Zhang especially after making them pay for damages for what they had done against Li Jing.

Regardless, he was not going to let them go like that. At least now that Li Jing was gone and with her family, he could settle down and deal them a heavy blow.

All those who caused him problem last year, he planned on repaying them back.

While he was in the office tending to some documents that needed his approval so as to commence the business plan Li Jing gave, a knock came on his door first before the doorknob turned and opened.

Ye Cheng peeled his gaze from his work to see who had interrupted him when his gaze landed on his friend.

"Wang Li, anything the matter?" He did not send for him, so he was not expecting and the look on his friend's face told him that it was important.

"Yeah. We got some info, I think Han Huizhong and Qing Mei are planning something."

This was definitely a serious matter. Ye Cheng sat up straight and placed both hands on the table as he waited for him to seat down so that they would have a proper discussion.

"How do you mean?"

"Due to the recent movements going on around Zhang's warehouse, I think they have been smuggling illegal good and what is more some weapons."

"Hmm."

"We do not know exactly what they are planning but I thought I should let you know. That is the first and the second, in case we choose to expose them and allow the government to take matters into their own hands, we would have succeeded in repaying them in their own coin."

"Ye Cheng did not respond at first but thought on the matter. He wasn't pone to look for trouble but considering all they have done, perhaps it was nice to teach them a good lesson.

"Okay. I would look more into the matter. Let more men watch their movements, especially NBai Qing Mei's. I need info on whom she meets and their recent meeting places."

"Noted."

"Also, double the number of persons watching them. Let nothing go out of her notice. They are planning something big and we must watch out… For now, we do not know exactly what they are doing, so we should make the first move and make them know what we know."

"Alright."

"Good, let all information be passed to me as well."

"I have already forwarded it to your personal email," Yi Wang Lei said, pointing to his phone.

"Okay, I would check."

"Yeah, anyways that is all."

"Thanks. By the way, how is Li Jing? I hope she is coping well?" Yi Wang Lei asked with a smile.

"Sher is good, we talked. All is well. Oh, and before I forget, send me the contact of Ru Mei Xing's manager and the head of the reporting industry where she works. I need to send her a present for her earlier behaviour."

"Sure."
