Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 328

She did not know what else to say to him in this situation again. 

She knew better than to argue with him on this and just accept what he said then leave. She was not about to spend the rest of her life with someone she was not willing to be more than friends with.

Hell no!

"Umm, if that is all grandfather, I really need to go so that I can rest my head."

"Yes. You can. Just do not forget to think about it."

"How can I ever forget that?" Li Jing asked and broadened her smile. "I would go now." She bowed her heads to him and stood up from her seat.

Immediately Li Jing stepped outside the door and closed it, she looked around before resting on it and letting her brain do some thinking.

'I cannot let grandfather do that to me. But what should I do? Should I run?' Li Jing thought. 'I do not want to marry someone I do not love. I…' Li Jing stopped thinking and smiled to herself.

Her she was fighting not to be married off especially as her heart belonged with someone else, but even that someone did not know that she was in love with him.

Just thinking about Ye Cheng, Li Jing felt her heart clench in pain. She had missed him so much. It had been five months since they last spoke and her heart bled.

The more she thought about how she missed him, the more tears began to well up in her eyes. Just when the first tear slid down, Li Jing almost broke and wept bitterly.

Quickly she did not wait for an order, she sprinted to her room and once she was in she shut the door behind her, resting on it with one hand on the door knob and the other on her chest as her tears overshadowed her.

"Aaahhhh…" she began to sob uncontrollably but silently at her problem.

She was so much in love with him but he abandoned her and left her alone. He did not want her anymore. And even after all these months, she thought time would take the love away but just with today's incident, she found out that she was still very much in love with him and wanted only him.

'Ye Cheng, what did I do wrong? Why did you leave me/ Did you really not like me? Was all the things I felt a lie?' Li Jing questioned in her mind.

Her grip on the door knob tightened, turning her knuckles into white and slowly she began to slid down on the door till her butt made contact with the hard ground.

That was when she let go completely and cried her heart out. "Mother, where are you? I need you, mother! Do not let me go through this. Not again, mother! No…" 

She sobbed and sobbed till it was dark and finally fell asleep on the floor by the door.

About a week later, Li Jing began to devise a plan on how to leave. She did not want to give her father any answer as she knew he could get bossy and she had already promised him she wouldn't leave him.

He would be too devastated if she were to do that. Nevertheless, she was planning on avoiding the issue no matter what and do something about it.

Months ago, she had been planning to open a branch of their company at Star City. So with this present problem, she moved for the motion and decided to go over so she can start the branch and oversee it.

At first because she feared meeting Ye Cheng, she had planned to send someone else there but now, plans changed and she decided that she would be one to go.

Quickly some of her things were packed up and she prepared to travel but before leaving the next morning, she went to meet her grandfather to inform him about the plans for the company.

On first hearing about this, Lin Zian was happy that she was really taking the company to greater heights and did not think too much about it. He quickly agreed, allowing her to go and start up the new branch and put things together while he would help her out in managing the mother company in her absence.

"Thank you, grandpa. I would not let you down and do all I can to take this company forward and succeed above the other top companies."

"I never once doubted your skills and ability my dear. Go and make me proud."

"Thank you, grandpa. I need to go and pack up my things in preparation." Li Jing bowed to him and turned around, ready to leave. 

"Wait." Li Jing paused and looked at him with a smiling face. "Do not forget what you owe me. I would await your answer still, my dear."

"Yes grandfather. Goodnight."

"You too, sleep well."

She nodded and took her leave. 'Hmm, I am sorry grandpa but unlike momma that ran without looking back and with no means of finding her, I would freely leave under your wings and stand for my freedom and what I want. I would not be controlled by anyone anymore. I am sorry but this is Li Jing and not Lin Qinyang.'

All through her ordeal, she refused to call her auntie as she knew that Lin Huilang would go mad at her brother-in-law for thinking of repeating the same mistake and from there, more family fighting would arise. 

Then it would be that it was the period when she returned top the family that it tore apart more than how it did before. They would all blame her mother and herself for bringing such bad luck. 

She knew how these people brains worked and wasn't willing to give them the satisfaction to get one over her.

So she kept it to herself and formed her own plan in her head. At least he couldn't force her to marry at another city and perhaps she and Yin Lifen would come up with a suitable way to escape this.
