Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 453

"Great! You were the cause of my problem in the first place. If you had not adopted me then your wife wouldn't think you a cheat and rain down on my parade."

"Li Jing, please let us leave the past in the past. This is a new beginning.  A bright future."

"Oh trust me dad. I did leave that in the past but your scheming wife and shameless daughter refused to let me be and now they not only chase after me but my family. Let this be a warning to Li Xiu."

Mr Li did not believe that the calm and collected Li Jing could ever be like this. It was like she changed overnight but he could not blame her because he was a big time cause. 

All he wanted now was for their family to remain as one and she should not leave them alone, especially now in time of crises.

"The next time she so much as come close to my husband to seduce him, I would definitely, I promise you, definitely not let it slide easily. You would be prepared to watch your daughter break a limb or two."

"Li Jing, please. Do not take it that far, Xiu is still your sister."

Li Jing scoffed. "You said?" she arched a brow at him. "My sister, huh? What kind of sister is she that she steals everything that belongs to me from me, huh? What kind of sister is she that she went after my boyfriend and stole him away?"

Mr Li turned his gaze from her. He was not going to say he was proud with Li Xiu's acts but he was trying here. He knew she took Duan Tian from Li Jing but he felt Duan Tian just saw her as a better choice and option. 

Either that or if he as sincere, he chose to turn a blind her while being greedy by the boy's family name.

"What kind of sister would do that and throw me out as well as throw me from the company, then seek to humiliate me and now, she comes after my marriage?"

She was already fuming with anger. Mr Li was beginning to get embarrassed by the whole topic of discussion 

"Oh and for the record, me being unfilial, that was the wrong and worst thing for you to utter. Or have you forgotten how we both came out from the university and worked for you but I became the puppet to do all the work for your useless daughter while she took all the glory?"

Mr Li's eyes widened. He had no idea about that. Actually Li Xiu made it seem like she was the one doing best and Li Jing was just useless.

"And times whereby she could not peach the slides and idea, her pride would not allow her come to me for explanation and she would thereby alter it to suit her own stupidity and not bring forth what would move your company forward."

The more Li Jing spoke, it was like she was dropping the bomb on him one after the other.

"FYI, dad, your company's deteriorating state, is due to your negligence, first and putting your useless daughter to manage it. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I thank you for taking so-called good care of me but please do not ever hope for anything between I and your family ever again, Mr Li. Good bye and I hope you tame those wild beast you call family members."

She was about to leave when she recalled something. She opened her mouth to say the words and just shook her head. "My mother… hmm, never mind." With that, Li Jing wasted no more time and walked out of the grocery store, leaving her adopted father to reminisce and chew on her words.

He knew most of these things did occur but he chose to turn a blind eye to it.

Now, that he should have enjoyed and benefitted from her success, he got nothing. He felt his heart break from her words but what more could he do? 

Never did he want her to leave and he thought he could talk her into coming back and reuniting with his family but he was wrong. The damage had been done, no more.

Mr Li raised his head, in hopes of still seeing Li Jing so he could do a proper apology but before he could do anything, he watched her enter her car, closed the door and drove out.

'I may lose you and your success, no worries but no matter what you would have to come back to me. I still hold the last card. I see you are still affected by the knowledge of who your real mother is. We would definitely meet again, Jing-er. DEFINITELY.'

****

Leaving him, Li Jing rushed home. Her mood had already been spoilt enough for one day. She was already happy proving her father-in-law wrong and then enjoyed a mind blowing sex with her husband but he just came to ruin the day, didn't he?

"Men, urghh!"

Her mind drifted back to before she left the shop. She so much wanted to ask him about her mother. Since she claimed she was not his mistress, then definitely he would have a lead as to where she was adopted from to enable her search for her mother.

Regardless, she did not want to give him any hope or make him feel important or had one ver her that was why she sealed her lips and walked out.

Unknown to her, he already could see her heart and knew she craved for it.

Li Jing took in a deep breath and let out an exasperated sigh. She was already wondering why it was taking her person so long to locate any useful news about her mother.

Not saying anything, she got out of her car as soon as she got home and hurried inside. Perhaps after a much relaxing bath and she starts baking, things would be fine.

"Smile, Li Jing. No one owns your joy and happiness. It is yours and that of your hubby alone.. Ignore them and be happy."
