CHAPTER 829 — Pissed Huizhong

Li Jing's mind was filled with thoughts on the recent happenings around her. One was Ye Cheng's reveal by his mom. The second was her disturbing foster mother and sister. She did not know whom to speak with to make any reasonable decision. While she could confide in Ye Cheng, she did not want to raise his hopes on anything. There could be a lead, and at the same time, there may not be any leads whatsoever. She saw firsthand how he felt affected when his investigation led to another dead end and he felt terrible about delivering the message to her mother. If this lead ended up being the same, what could she possibly do? Watching him feel defeated was a no for her. Clutching the steering wheel tightly, Li Jing made her decision. If she could not let Ye Cheng know, then perhaps her grand-aunt or Yin Lifen would be the best option. "Hey Siri," her voice rang out, connecting with her phone. "Call Fen-Fen."

"Calling Fen-Fen."

She blinked, trying her best to focus on the road while her mind darted back and forth with the clues before her. "He may not have caused it, but there must be a connection to all these. Why was his car there?"

The sound of the call going through jolted Li Jing from her reverie. But after several rings, the result was the same: no answer.

"Hey Siri, call Auntie."

Once again, the automated AI intelligence reply echoed in her car. In the end, Li Jing shook her head. The moment she needed them the most, they were nowhere to be found. "Fine. Sleeping on it and ensuring I tackle this situation and a good way to go around it by morning."

Arriving at their mansion first, she was informed of Ye Cheng's abrupt departure for his mother's house. Although she felt scared for what may have happened, she knew her husband. If something terrible occurred in her absence, Ye Cheng would have placed a call to her by now. And since he didn't, that meant he had the situation under control. ************** After her call with Li Xiu, Bai Qing Mei's smirk grew. They would stand a chance of ruining Andromeda now or taking her position. She picked up her phone from the bedside drawer, her eyes raking through it till she found the contact she was searching for.

"Huizhong may not approve of this method but I believe that for me to gain Ye Cheng back or make him suffer as I have, I will have to go unconventional and ensure she stays out of his life."

"Hello, Huizhong." Her lips curled upward. Slowly, Bai Qing Mei made her way to her bed and sat down with both legs crossed on her bed. "How are you?"

"I've been better. How is grandpa?"

"He is finding it a bit hard to adjust," she explained with a bored look on her face. "Anyways, I need your help."

"My help? With that?" "I think it is high time I give Ye Cheng something to think about and distract him," Bai Qing Mei suggested. "We can but haven't you done that before? And it did not seem to work," he reasoned. "That is because we were taking the lion out of his house."

"Getting into his house is an understatement. You and I cannot just waltz in and out doing what we want without facing serious consequences."

"What? Do not tell me you, his older brother, are feeling scared of your younger sibling." She folded her hand in front of her chest. Where Hao Huizhong was, he clenched his fist. He hated how Bai Qing Mei got to him with words and wanted to tame her with any chance or opportunity she got.

"I am not scared. However, I need to tread carefully." Bai Qing Mei scoffed. "Or have you forgotten I am still waiting for him to hand over my shares of the company?"

"Tch. All you care about is your shares and not our revenge."

Money was not her problem. All his life, he had to struggle and fight for all he had just because he had a father who never recognized him. "How about we cause some big problems and go out with a bang?!" Her voice was high-pitched, and her tone filled with the thrill of the problem she was about to cause.

His eyes immediately shot open, red and shining with anger. She had her father and grandfather's company in her name as the future heiress. Money was not her problem. All his life, he had to struggle and fight for all he had just because he had a father who never recognized him. "How about we cause some big problems and go out with a bang?!" Her voice was high-pitched, and her tone filled with the thrill of the problem she was about to cause.

But something else ate at his heart. The way she always downplayed him did not make Ho Huizhong feel good about himself. "Well, I cannot risk anything at this point. Revenge or not, mine was centred on getting what rightfully belonged to me as Ye Sheng's son. You, on the other hand, are playing your grandfather's game."

"Pardon?"

"Yes, Qing Mei you heard me right. Hell, even your obsession with Ye Cheng wasn't until he moved on past you and fell for Li Jing."

"Take that back," she spat bitterly. "Why? Because the truth hurts?" Hao Huizhong scoffed. He wished he could see Bai Qing Mei's face so he could tell her what rich spoiled brat she was at times. "Hao Huizhong!" Bai Qing Mei yelled, rising to her feet and clenching her right fist. "What? Face it. You are used to getting what you want. You are not used to being rejected and when he did not fawn over you so you hoped, you became obsessed with wanting him. Deep down Qing Mei, you only see him as a toy who got taken from under your arm."

Although she knew everything he said was true, it hurt her nonetheless. Ye Cheng was hers, just like Hao Huizhong was. She may not have loved Ye Cheng or Huizhong but she found peace with him. He understood her and accepted her for who she was. "Huizhong!"

"Qing Mei, call me selfish but yes, I am tired of helping you chase after another man. If you really want revenge, go after Ye Cheng's life!"

Beep!
