CHAPTER 519
This time around, he pulled her back to his chest, patting her shoulder.
"What do you mean? Tell me what is going on, what are you planning, Ye Cheng?" She was so eager to know that she refused to calm down.
"Well, I have been suspecting someone since as I found out a guy has been tailing us. So we were on the lookout yesterday and guess what we found, Li Xiu was informing someone about the plan and my boys caught her and knocked her out."
Just thinking about it, made him smirk at the scenario.
"Where did they keep her? I need to teach that bratty sister of mine a good lesson she would never forget." Li Jing asked, pulling away from his arms again to gaze into his lovely face again.
"Already done so."
"How?"
"Check the news. I think some news might be booming if we are lucky. I took her to the room you booked."

Li Jing could not believe her ears. This was great. Her mouth hung open and her eyes, telling of her joy and surprise.
"You are dating the richest CEO in the country. Have some faith in me baby. Just because I have been leaving them, doesn't mean I would let them go scot-free this time around. You are mine and anyone who hurts you, tampers with me and I would avenge you."

"SCANDAL! The first young miss of the Li Family found in a hotel selling her body for riches!" Li Jing readout.
Her lips pulled back into an enchanting smile. She peeled her gaze from the phone screen and looked at Ye Cheng.
"Wow. Don't I just love you so much, baby. Thanks, my love. Let me check the news for more."
"Well you can do that later, my love, for now, I think your hubby deserves a hug or kiss."
"Nah, you do not deserve that. You deserve all of me at will. No punishment honey."
Saying that she threw her phone somewhere on the bed and jumped into his waiting arms.
"I hope someone does not regret this cause I would have you every day if I must."
"Cheesy. Won't you get tired?"
"Umm, for you, never."
"Hahhaa… then what are you waiting for? I know you have been gingering to do more than just dry hump on me. Come, let's make love."
"Umm, on a second thought, let's make babies."
"Hahhahaa…."

Highlighting from the taxi and rushing into the compound, Li Xiu made her way into her family's house only to be greeted by the angry stare of her mother.
"Mother."
She paused, taking in a deep breath. Knowing the mother she had, especially with the way she leaned against the head of the chair like that, it only spoke volumes that's he got the news and probably first before her.
"What is the meaning of this, Li Xiu?" Ding Jiaying questioned, seeing that her daughter was not saying anything.
Raising her head she voiced out her mind, "Mother, not now, please." Not even waiting for what her mother's reply would be, she took a step away but Ding Jiaying had other plans.
"Not now? Li Xiu, you have the guts to tell me not now, huh?"
"Yes, what would you have me do?" she snapped at her mother.
"Fix yourself and give me a proper explanation why the person's face I am seeing on the news is not Li Jing but YOURS!"
"How the heck do you want me to answer that question?"
'How else are you supposed to answer that question if not by doing the right thing? You had one simple job. Drug that wench and make her a public whore instead what do I get, you became the public whore yourself."
"Enough mother!"

"Li Xiu!" she yelled in anger. "How dare you?"
"Because I am sick and tired of everyone expecting so much from me. Do you think I am the one who does not want her to suffer? Do you think I do not hate her guts so much with all of my beings I hate everything about her. She came and tore our family apart."
"Li Xiu. I know you feel hurt."
"No, mother. You do not know anything. What were doing when dad went to sleep with another woman and bring her daughter for you? What happened that your husband suddenly changed, feeling so lost and away from us?"
"I do not know dear."
"Do not dare tell me you do not know. This is not okay as it is. It is terrible if you ask me. I have been in her shadow all my life and even now, you see, I still can't get one over her.She was supposed to be the one there, there in those pictures and headlines and not me, but what happened? I do not bloody fucking know!"
"But how can you say you do not know?"
"Because I do not, don't you understand mother? One moment things were going smoothly. All plans on deck. I even got her drugged and she got the room, even saving us the stress of getting her one and then… That was it."
"That was what?' Ding Jiaying was still trying to make sense of the story but she could not. It felt like Li Xiu was not making sense.
"Then, I woke up." She shook her head and ran upstairs.
Her pain was etched so deep. Never had she felt so embarrassed before like this and she was trying her best not to cry but thinking about the whole thing and how she had never been able to put Li Jing down and only made her feel terrible.
"Li Xiu, come back here."
Ignoring her mother, she ran up to her room as the tears began to flow out of her eyes freely.
"Li Xiu. Answer me, get back here," Ding Jiaying called out while chasing after her daughter.
By the time she got to the room, she met her daughter in a crying mess as she started throwing away things in anger and screaming at the top of her voice.
"Li Xiu!"
