Chapter 116 - The Real Truth 2: Wolves In Sheep Clothing

CHAPTER 116

He could not believe that the first time he had opened his heart to someone totally went AWOL wrong. And since now they had taken his trust and dashed it against a stone.

"If he had not thrown the documents away and soiled them, perhaps we would have been one step closer to our plans," Bai Qing Mei commented.

"True we would have been richer and brought down Dream Star Corporation or even take over it," Hao Huizhong added.

"Sigh, Ye Cheng, he just had to play the hero for a girl not willing to be saved. Tsk, plans has changed because of him."

"Your acting skills are one of a kind, Qing Mei. Who would not fall for your words in one go?" Hao Huizhong praised her, trying to curry her favour.

"Oh please, Hao. I just did what I was told and everything fell in my favour."

"Hahha ahaha! You truly are sly," Hao Huizhong complimented her.

"So what are we going to do for you, considering he has pulled out all our eyes in the company?" Bai Qing Mei asked.

"Even though he had done that, he still could not replace me as he had no fucking evidence to link me to the crimes."

"Lucky you then, but we need more. How sooner can we get that financial manger on our side?"

"Easy peasy. She looks like an easy deal."

"I trust you, make her fall for you and then we can have her do anything we want."

"But what if she doesn’t? It looks like she has her heart set on Ye Cheng?"

"I understand your worry, but I’ve got him in my grasp and where I want him. He is already beginning to fall in love with me. Once I get him completely, then everything would work out well."

"Okay."

"Besides, are you not confident in your skills to win a woman over?"

"I don’t know you tell me. Did I succeed in winning you over?"

"Pff, be Ye Cheng and you would win."

"Ouch, that hurt my feelings" Hao Huizhong placed a hand over his chest, pretending to be hurt and both of them burst out laughing.

After their laughter had died down, Hao Huihong sudden became serious and looked at Bai Qing Mei. " Mei, Mei."

"Yes, Huizhong? What is troubling you? Why did your mood soil all of a sudden?"

"Well... I."

"Is it because of what I said about not been confident in your skills to whoo a lady? Nah I am kidding. Even if she does not agree, there are many other ways. Offer her a huge sum of money and we are good to go."

"No, that is not it."

"Then what? Spill and not keep me in suspense."

"I see he had influenced the way you speak. So authoritative."

"That is one of the reasons why I like him. So dominant, cold and fierce."

"Are you now in love with him?"

Badum! Badum!

"What?" Bai Qing Mei managed to ask as the shock was still written on her face. His words just now had completely thrown her off balance and one she had least expected him to ask, especially as there was a certain person present in their midst.

"You heard me clearly, Mei Mei. Do you love him?"

"What has gotten into you all of a sudden?"

"Answer the question, jewel. Are you in love with Ye Cheng?" Another voice, deeper and more terrifying, suddenly spoke out of the blue.

Ye Cheng would have been listening to their discussion and was about leaving as their words were annoying but stopped when Bai Qing Mei was asked if she loved him.

Little would he had known that his decision to stay to hear her answer would yield more fruit than the rest had done.

Immediately he heard the deep voice, he had his eyes shooting out of their socket at the sound of the voice.

’No way. It cannot be.’

"Well, why are you suddenly curious? You know all this was for the plan to succeed. We, becoming his best friends and all, right?"

"Yes, but I want to know, especially with your recent behaviours, is it possible that you may have feelings for him?" the man asked again.

"It is impossible for no girl not to have feelings for Ye Cheng, especially after being with him for so long. But the matter of love, no. I do not love him, grandfather."

’Grandfather!’

"If you say so, dear. Hao Huzhong, you heard her clearly."

"Yes, Chairman Zhang. I just wanted to make sure that her feelings would not get in line with our plans."

"You can rest assured and worry about how to get new spies. I for one have done my part and succeeded in making my claim to him and driving that newbie off him."

"It wouldn’t be easy getting people to join us especially after what happened in the company. Everyone would lie low and no one would want to risk it."

"I know. Relax. For now, we play it safe and see where it leads."

Ye Cheng’s brows creased and furrowed deeper than before. He could no longer hold it in and wished more than anything to barge in on them and tell both of them how despicable and useless they were.

Bunch of ungrateful bastards!

He had been nothing but kind to them and had given each a place in his heart but how did they repay him back? By stabbing him in the back and plotting his downfall.

Wolves in sheep clothing!

But he knew better than to do that. It was best not to approach the issue on such rage. It would make him look like a child who is sulking.

He shifted his gaze from the floor and looked up to his side. He could see the aid and the butler giving him a sad but confusing look.

He shot both of them a cold glare as though silently warning them not to reveal his presence there today and as soon as they nodded their heads, he walked out of the building and left the mansion.
