CHAPTER 627

“Don’t you dare call my name you… Argh.” She turned her gaze away and glared at her son. “Cheng! What are you doing with him? It better be that you are scolding him or something,” Li An angrily let out.

“Yes, mother.”

“Good because if after what he has done you are still leaving him alone, then I might just go ballistic on you too.”

Ye Sheng could not believe his ears as his gaze moved from mother to son. They were discussing him in his presence yet they ignored him like he did not matter. 

Had his case fallen so bad like that?

Well, he did limit himself and bring down his reputation that was for sure. He never wanted Li An to find out but turns out, she did and he was furious about it.

“Hey, calm down ma. I am not the one at fault here,” Ye Cheng quickly intervened before she dropped all of her vexations on him.

Tilting her head back a bit, she gave Ye Cheng a surprised look before pursing her lips together as she drew out her sigh. “Oh, you are not. Then tell me how three hundred million dollars, left the company under your nose.”

He felt like facepalming himself. How come he was the one getting the scolding rather than his father but thinking about it, she did have a point.

He really was getting it hard, wasn’t he?

“Mum.”

“Save it. And you,” she redirected her gaze back to Ye Sheng. “You had the nerve huh. Your infidelity wasn’t enough, you just have to want to bring this company to a ruin. Have you no shame?”

“Li An, things are not as they seem.”

Immediately, the mother and son pair both adverted their gaze at him. He really just said that.

For Li An who had still not gotten a complete grasp of the situation, she rushed here as soon as possible to find out what happened before more harm was done to the company, unlike her son who knew the whole truth.

Regardless, just hearing him say those trash words out of his mouth was truly something not believing.

With raised brows, Ye Cheng’s cold gaze landed on his father as he pried his lips open. The one word he could think of to say to the man was… “Really?”

“Ye Cheng, back me up on this please,” he muttered to his son.  Unfortunately for him, Li AN HEARD it all and she marched forward even more.

“He should do what now?”

“I am sorry Li An. I did not say anything to you. This is between Cheng and I.”

“Oh, dear. I am sorry too. It stopped being between the two of you the moment he could not keep his eyes on you and let you do such nonsense. Now tell me, how the heck did you embezzle company funds huh?!”

Her yell was ear piercing and even Ye Cheng who was standing close to her, he felt like his ear drums were going to explode any second from then. 

Even though he wanted to, he dared not turn around to look at his mother lest he wanted some scolding of course and as much as he wanted to save his father from his mother’s wrath, he couldn’t.

He knew from his heart that this was what his father needed and brought it upon himself.

After all, he wanted to help him but he refused to step down. Well, he might just allow his mother to go gaga.

Once she is done, even the mighty Chairman Ye would drop all that he had just to be at peace.

“Ye Sheng! Bloody hell answer me!”

The second time she yelled really did a number on poor Ye Cheng. This time no one told him to actually turn to face her rather than leaving his left ear to the sound abuse.

“Answer me! What is wrong with you? Or have you forgotten your deal, huh? How dare you gamble with the company like that and ruin all my Cheng had worked hard for?”

The angrier she got, the less likely that she was going to use his name. Nope. Michael was far from it now and there was no telling when her rage would dissipate.

“Li An I need you to calm down.”

“Calm down? I cannot be calm. What if word of this gets out, huh? Our family would look stupid before the board of directors and I would not allow such a thing to happen on my watch.”

“It won’t,” Ye Sheng argued pointing down on the table as though he was so sure.

“It won’t?” She scoffed, dropping her lovely bag on the table as she took another step closer as her daring gaze remained locked on his person. “Then how the heck did I find out?”

“That… I do not know but it is obvious that you did not trust me and always kept tabs on me.”

She let out another scoff before chuckling out madly and then stopped abruptly. “Can you hear yourself? Why in heaven’s name did ou ever think I would trust you, huh? Why?”

He did not answer. He knew he had said out the wrong words. Looking away from her, he scrunched his face away in shame.

“Look here, Ye Sheng. I do not regret anything but one, ever believing your shitty love excuse and putting our family business into your hands. Come here. Wasn’t it true as I did not trust you and yet you proved me right by doing this? Wouldn’t I be a fool to have trusted you, take your word or it?”

“No. Because I wouldn’t jeopardize this company.”

“Good. I love that conviction and boldness. Then what is this?” She let her gaze drop down to the file in front of him that Ye Cheng brought. “It is funny how your actions never tally with your words, Sheng.”

“Li An.”

“Do not mention my name. You are so sure it won’t come out, yet two persons have found out. Do you think is everyone likes your stupid life style amongst the board of directors? No.. So obviously they would have their nose in your business.”
