Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

************

CHAPTER 450

Although she spoke without taking a break to drink water and carried on. By the tie it ended, she felt drained a bit as this was the first time in a long while she did that.

She succeeded in not only proving herself but also selling herself for who she was worth out. At the end, all the investors wanted to do partnership with the Lin Group.

Most of the business partners even offered a bigger deal of sixty to forty percent, if she agreed to also run a check on their businesses as well.

At the end, it was Ye Sheng who could not believe his eyes. Indeed she was an asset. She was a diamond as Mr Kang had earlier said.

"You already have yourself a deal, Mrs Li Jing, please consider it and Ye Cheng, I would be glad to work with your wife,' the man who asked her to peach herself, said.

"It is all up to her to decide, Mr Choi Sung. I would not tie her down because I am her husband. She is free to fly and achieve bigger dreams."

Hearing those words from her hubby was the best thing Li Jing heard today. Not that the rest weren't good but his praise sweetened her already sweet heart even more.

"I have heard you sir. Now please, I would like to take my seat."

"Very well."

Taking her steps accurately, she cat-walked over to her seat and smiled as she sat beside her husband. She was not just happy for his praise but the fact that she did not let what her father-in-law said to diminish her and actually shone for her husband.

"Now, are you satisfied father and do you see she is more qualified being here?"

In as much as Ye Sheng did not like the fact that he was shamed, he could not deny the fact that she did do well and was one of a kind.

Right then and there, he doubted within himself that Fang Quiyue would have even been up to Li Jing in terms of brain worth.

'Nice choice son. You surprised me. You brought her here to show her off to me, right?' Ye Sheng thought.

He sat up straight and smiled at Ye Cheng. "I am satisfied. She has indeed proven to be worthy in carrying on the Ye family name. I think we have all herd and well seen. Thank you for coming. It is time to finally move on to the last agenda of the day, thanks to someone here. Mr Kang…"

Ye Cheng tightened his grip on the arm rest of his chair. Why couldn't his father behave himself like a useful person. He knew very well Li Jing did so good yet his pride did not let him apologize to her or even tell her something good.

'Bloody... urgh!' He yelled in his mind but outwardly looked so calm.

It was only Li Jing who could see his tightened grip and quickly covered his hand with hers, soothing him silently.

Just as Ye Sheng had said, they proceeded to signing the much needed document and went on with the meeting till it ended.

As soon as they rounded up, Ye Cheng did not wait to greet anyone and instantly marched out of the conference room with his hand tightly holding Li Jing's as they went to his office.

BANG!

"He is so… urgh! How can he not be appreciative enough? A simple thank you would be well appreciated than the useless long speech he gave," Ye Cheng complained.

He was so mad at his father that she failed to see his wife smiling lovingly at him.

He moved straight to the living room portion of his office and began pacing there.

He so much wished his father was his mate, he would have readily left an imprint of his fist on his face first to ensure he never seaks ill of his woman eer again.

How ungrateful he is."

Li Jing's smile only brightened the more he lamented and got frustrated.

She first ensured that the doors were locked and that he was not paying her any heed, then slowly made her way to him and hugged him from behind, shocking him in the process.

"Baby…"

"Shhh, just let me hug you, honey. It is okay. I am not offended. I just see how small he really is and how insecure he was. I am fine."

"I am so sorry my love. Never should any of this had happened if I didn't ask you back."

"Nah, don't be like this. Look on the brighter side, I got other business deals from this and I made you proud."

He let out an exasperated sigh. Yes why was he bothering about his old man when good things arose from this meeting and the old man succeeded in embarrassing himself.

"Well one word did annoy me that he said before," Ye Cheng voiced out.

"What word was that?" Li Jing inquired. 

"The word he said to me on the morning after your arrival that we came late to work."

**FLASHBACK**

Both father and son had met on the way on the office one of the days before the meeting and engaged in a conversation. 

Before Ye Cheng knew what was happening, he brought up Li Jing and the fact that he refused to marry Fang Quiyue, stating that he went against him because of looks. 

"Is she qualified or am I sure that you did not give her that position because of her looks?"

"Is that so? Hmm," Ye Cheng scoffed. "I am not you who chases after ladies for their looks and not what they stand to offer in life and to your family. My wife is not just all looks but confident, intelligent, bold, just name it. She is a golden one."

"Hmm, praise her all you want. You are trying to cover u for her. Only time would tell."

**FLASHBACK ENDS**

Indeed only time did tell and LI Jing's irreplaceable worth was revealed.
