CHAPTER 77

As they were checking the gifts, Li Jing heard a familiar voice call her name.

"Li Jing!"

The voice sounded shocked and rather unsure than having a certain kind of precision to its tone. Slowly she turned to the direction the voice came from and she came face to face with none other than…

"Li Xiu!"

Hearing that name, Ye Cheng's mind went far back to the day her phone was ringing and he put it on silent. Following Li Jing's line of sight his eyes landed on a slim model looking like young lady with slightly similar features like Li Jing's.

In fact if not for their surnames and slender figures, there was no resemblance to make one know that they were born of the same father.

<Li Jing: That is because I am adopted pff. Why would I look like her? Who wants to look like that whore?>

<Author: Watch your language young lady.>

<Li Jing: Whose side are you on anyway? You do not tell her to watch her language, why tell me?>

<Author: That is because you are nice. Now back to our story.>

"You!"

"Me? What about me?"

"Haven't you interfered in my family long enough? I guess I can expect nothing less from a trash like you," Li Xiu cursed as he cat walked over to where Li Jing stood close to one of the gift shelves.

Ye Cheng who was silently observing the show, picked up a pair of dark shades from one of the shelves and wore it before moving close to where the girls stood.

"Return those words, Li Xiu."

"Or what? Huh, what can you do, Li Jing? I mean, Trash Jing. You don't even deserved a surname."

"Or I would make you eat those words."

"You can do nothing more than a dead rat. All your life, there has never being anything good you could do. Look at the marketing slides you prepared for example, an outright failure. You brought disgrace to our company."

"That is a lie, Li Xiu. You are only out to slander me. You of all people know how much I put my all into those slides. If it was a failure, then it was your inability to present such a master piece that caused your family such damage." Li Jing spat back at her.

She was not going to take it again from her. She had intentionally called her name and raised her voice so she could disgrace the poor girl because now, everyone in that section of the store had their eyes fixed on them, particularly her.

Indeed, what Li Jing had said struck a chord in her heart and hit her where it hurts the most. It was as though Li Jing knew what had happened during the meeting and her inability to explain the slides.

Nevertheless, the last thing she needed and wanted was for her to be on the receiving end and not end up humiliating Li Jing.

She decided to counter her words with something that she knows always hurt Li Jing very much and come out looking pure and untainted.

"The only job that managed to accept you, your cheating whore life that you inherited from your mother did not allow you to enjoy it. Face it Li Jing. You would never be anything more than a mere illegitimate child."

Li Jing's blood began to boil. She had always asked her father whenever she could back then when she was still a child if she was an illegitimate child.

The only reply she ever got was that she was a blessing and he was lucky to have her as his adopted child.

As a child, she had always believed anything her father had told her and counted herself lucky just like he said, but Li Xiu had been out her whole life to take that joy and happiness away from her.

"If you submit the real slides to my email and go down on your knees to beg me, then I would consider accepting you back into the company."

Li Jing clenched her fist into a ball at her side till her knuckles turned white. That was it, she had been insulted by this cheap whore of a sister for too long. It was now time for her to get her pay back.

"Call me a whore all you want but don't you dare to spout nonsense about my mother. You can call me trash as it is your way of finding closure for what you really are, a trash who sleeps around with her sister's fiancé. Even a dog is better than you, Li Xiu."

Those words were like a hot slap to Li Xiu's face. She just got insulted in front of all the audience she collected to make a show of Li Jing and now they were beginning to believe Li Jing and not her.

"Li Jing! I always know you have no respect for my parents. This is how you choose to thank my family for their kindness by slandering me?"

"I did no such thing but unlike you, I was called same name but I took it lightly as they weren't true. Look at you reacting and screaming because you are worried about the shame your useless life would bring you."

"Li Jing!" Li Xiu called out once more. Her lips trembled with anger and embarrassment but there was nothing much she could do or say to counter her sister back.

"You have nothing to say? Okay, I would make it simple for you. I will never kneel and beg you to take me into that company."

"You would eventually come as no one would accept a trash like you."

"Are you sure about that? If I was such a useless person, why am I the new financial manager of Dream Star Corporation?"

"What!"

"Is this lady for real? She is the financial manager of…"

"Oh my God, she must be extremely brilliant for her to have that post."

Several murmurings arose around them. People were shocked, as well as Li Xiu who was still processing the new information.

Ye Cheng who had been watching the girls fight it out with their words, suddenly have a triumph smile. 'Good going, Li Jing. I hope you would keep to your word.'
