CHAPTER 345

To them Li Jing was living the perfect life. If only they knew that the phrase, 'The rich also cry' wasn't put there for jokes.

She now had the money and power but the problems that came with it, she had that as well.

Li Xiu expected her mother to say she had a plan to counter this problem, rather she was saying this. To a large extent she was disappointed at the turn of events.

"Mother, that is not the issue. We cannot hurt her now. I expect you to tell me how we can make her suffer. She came into our lives and ruined us. She cannot runaway and go scot-free with this."

"Relax, Li Xiu. Do you trust your mother or not? We can demand that she pays our family compensation for all those times we took care of her."

"But Li Jing would ignore us."

'Not when we bring this up in public and try and garner the public's empathy towards us. She would not want to look like a wicked person and she would give the money we need. From there we can carry on and get some revenge while still living the life we used to live."

"You mean better, mother. We cannot go back to how we used to be for any reason."

"That is the attitude I am talking about. We would live a better life. Do not worry yourself too much. We would make it happen."

"I trust mother. Sigh, I wish Duan Tian was here. I really need to get this frustration out."

"What are you doing with that kind of a loser/" Ding Jiayingf was no longer welcoming of the name Duan Tian.

  To her he was a no good bachelor. His mate like Ye Cheng and Tang Zixin were busy running their family companies and bringing it to lime light while he was there ruining his family's own.

To her he was a waste of time.

"I do not see what you like in that good for nothing."

"Mother." Li Xiu's face turned sour at her mother's words but that did not prevent Ding Jiaying from saying what she wanted to say.

"What? Did I lie? What good is he if he cannot help you take down that young wench? Tsk, that was all he was to do and now look at him. Leave him alone and find some other richer guy. Why not try out for someone like Ye Cheng, hmm? Rich and handsome and if it is sex that you want, I bet someone of that caliber would be great in bed."

"But mother,' Li Xiu began to protest when Ding Jiaying's eyes changed. 

"You should do something. I do not recall birthing failure, a quitter. Look at Li Jing who is not even my blood daughter, she is doing and gaining grounds while my own isn't. You are brilliant and smarter than that. Use what you have and get what you want."

"What are you trying to say mother?"

"Nothing. Just get a rich guy quick." Ding Jiaying was not smiling in her request. She meant all that she said. She wanted her daughter to get someone wealthy so as they can leave the house and be among the top notch in the society.

Li Xiu took some time to ponder on the matter. What her mother said was right, if she could get a rich guy, then she would not have to feel less than Li Jing anymore and she too can have that she wanted.

It al made sense. She did not need Duan Tian. Yes she had remained with him then but that was because Li Jing painted him to be the best guy in the world and she coveted him.

In the end she had him. He fell for her and she began to fall for him too. One of the reasons she liked him was due to the fact that he was great at pleasuring her and leave her wanting more in bed. When it came to that he never disappointed her.

As long as Li Jing was not happy and she got all that Li Jing yearned for and could not get, Li Xiu was more than happy and she carried on but now, Li Jing was over him and now had Ye Cheng.

She felt sad in ways that one could not imagine. Why was it that Li Jing always got all the good stuff? Her head was in a mess but then she thought that she could steal Ye Cheng as well.

With that thought in place, her face began to brighten up. If she could do it to Diuan Tian before, she could do it to Ye Cheng. This way she could make Li Jing cry and feel miserable. Those were the thoughts running through her mind.

"I do not want any other guy. I want Ye Cheng." Her cheeks curved upwards, revealing a brilliant mischievous smile.

"How about Tang Zixin?" Ding Jiaying suggested. "I am not saying it has to be Ye Cheng as your sister already has him in her claws."

"All the more reason why I want him. I want to prove to Li Jing that all she has I can get it back with a snap of my fingers. At least when I give him a good ride and make him come like never before, he would forget all about sister."

"Hmm. Okay if that is what you want then who am I to stop you."

"That is why I love you mum. You are always so supportive of me."

"Of course I would be. You are my daughter after all/. Who was I to support? Li Jing that can bite the fingers that fed her? No way. My devotion is to only you."

"And father?" Li Xiu's smile suddenly went down recalling that her one stumbling block would be her father.

"What about him/"

"What if he stands on my way and refuses that I do that? He had always protected Li Jing whenever he could."

"Leave your father to me. We can just pack out when you get your new boyfriend and have him buy us a house of our own. He can carry on sleeping with his mistresses. At least this time he isn't bringing them to me to care for."

"Very well then. I think we can initiate, operation take back what is ours from Li Jing."

***

Unknown to Li Jing, the terrible mother and daughter duo were already planning her downfall when all her mind was focused on how she was going to survive her own family.

"ACHOO!" She sneezed twice and turned around. "Sigh, it is like someone is wishing me ill or talking bad about me. Why am I not surprised, with those posts, I bet so many girls are cursing me by now."

She smiled brightly as she highlighted from her car and closed the door. "Whether they curse me or not, I am the one who is married to him and not them. I won't let anyone make me feel bad about this or pour out their bad energy on me."

Raising her head up, Li Jing stared at the name of the restaurant before making her way in. That place brought back some memories to her mind.

In fact since she came back it had been as though she had disappeared for quite some time. And honestly it had just been six months.

She never expected that she would miss the city so much like this.

In no time she arrived at the where Yin Lifen was seated and smiled charmingly at her.

At first Yin Lifen forgot her anger towards her friend and returned her smile but soon enough her smile dropped. "Not happy Li Jing. I would not beat around the bus and give you pleasantries when I am not happy in my mind."

"Hey, calm down, Fen Fen."

"Do not tell me to calm down, Li Jing."

"Then what do you want me to actually tell you?"

"The truth. What the hell is going on? Why all these? What are you trying to hide from me, from the world of not me?"

Li Jing allowed her friend to pour out her anger and frustration first before she sat down and told her to calm down again. 

"I am here aren't I? What did I come here for? So please, I expect you to give me a chance. All that I do, I have a reason for it and things haven't be particularly well on my side."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Can we leave the what has been and focus on the future? I would explain okay?"

"Alright. Please do explain. I am all ears. I wish to hear the origin of this madness."

Taking a deep breath, Li Jing's eyes closed as her chest rose and fell in preparation for what was to be said.

"I was arranged to be married to Kim Fan."

"What!"

"And I got married to Ye Cheng to avoid that through a contract marriage."

"WHAT!"
