CHAPTER 626
“I am waiting for an explanation, father.”
“I can explain. Just please calm down.”
“Calm down? Did you say calm down? How the fuck are we going to explain the sudden disappearance of 300 bloody million dollars!” He swept at the file a bit pushing it to his father as he turned his head around. He was sick of him.
“I…” Ye Sheng took in a deep breath, his gaze landing on the document Ye Cheng brought. It had contained in detail the shady scheme he tried to pull with the false company.
His son had done a proper investigation and found out what he did. This discovery was a mess for him,
“Tell me, what did you use the money for? I know you womanize and fool around.”
“Watch your words, Ye Cheng.”
“Watch? You seem not to know the position you are in father. Who can trust you with this company? Once the board of directors all find out about this, I am sorry to say, you lost it. We would lose the company for your incompetence.”
He shut his eyes. This was what Chairman Zhang had done to him. Now he is the one suffering this stupid reproach.
At that moment, Ye Sheng wished Ye Cheng had dealt Chairman Zhang a great blow beforehand. Maybe then he would not have come for him and he would be free of this blackmail.
“Well. I am waiting.” He placed both hands on the desk in front of them and leaned back down. “Explain yourself before I make my decision.”
“I…” He paused, tapped a bit on the desk, then looked up at Ye Cheng. “Would you believe me if I told you?”
“Try me.”
“Fine.” He sat down on his chair and brought both hands up to his head, roughly combing through his hair before looking straight and serious. “I was blackmailed.”
“You were what?”
“I was blackmailed and I am stating the truth.”
“Fine. Let’s say I believe you. You were blackmailed on what and for?”
Closing his eyes, Ye Sheng opened his mouth to answer. “Sleeping with an underage.”
As he confessed, he leaned back against his chair, tilting his head back. Ye Cheng on the other hand could not believe his ears.
His eyes bulged wide as he stared at his father.
What did he just hear? Was his mind currently okay or what?
No. No. All of these… it is not happening, right? He straightened himself where he stood. His own hands went up to brush his brown hair, scattering the lovely well-combed hair.
None of that mattered now. His company was in a mess and all because of what? His father could not keep his dick where it should be. HIS TROUSERS!
“Ye Cheng, look. I am sorry. I tried to fix it. I really did try and I did.”
The more he spoke, the more angry Ye Cheng became and his eyes boiled with rage.
“You tried to fix it? Did I just hear you say you tried to fix things? How is fixing things, you paying 300 million dollars? Mind you not from your won damn pocket but from the company’s. How is that trying to fix things?”
“I know I messed up but where were you expecting me to get that money from within a few days? It was either that or the company.”
Ye Cheng’s brows furrowed deeply as he stared at his father waiting for more explanation.
Understanding his son’s confusion, he expatiated on the matter further. “He blackmailed me and the company. If he released that video then we would have been done for. Especially when taken to court.”
“What I do not understand in all of this is how you so stupidly fell for it and slept with an underage, eh, how?!”
“I didn’t know, damn it!” Ye Sheng got angry as well. He hated the fact that Ye Cheng was not respecting him and talking down on him because of this. So he lost it too.
“I fucking did not know. Do you think I would go around sleeping with girls below eighteen just to satisfy my urge? What does their lousy young body have?”
‘exactly. It is funny. I should be asking you all of this. What do they have that you risk so much to sleep around with them for? You said would you have? But you just did and this time you were caught.”
“It was only this once, I swear and it was because he planned it all. The girl my men sent for me, wasn’t her but I did not know cause we were to meet at the same place and time and she came. That was it. How was I supposed to know?”
“Sometimes I wonder if this was the brain that held this company for years. How can yous ay that? We are the number one company and he has always envied us. What were you expecting? You should have known better! If mum finds out, this would be a bigger mess.”
“Please. Ye Cheng, I would do anything. Just do not let your mother know, I beg of you.”
“Anything? Okay then, relinquish your place as the chairman.”
“What!”
“Yes,” Ye Cheng’s eyes widened again, showing his seriousness on the matter.
“You clearly are not fit for such a position now. And trust me you cannot argue about it. So it is only natural. No one would think about it. I have been doing such a good job. I won’t have you spoil all I have worked hard to build over the few years I took over.”
He balled his fingers into a fist, clenching down hard but that did not move Ye Cheng. “But… It would look suspicious and Li An… Your mother would notice that…”
Knowing his father, he knew he wanted to play some tricks. Without waiting for him to finish, he slammed his hands on the desk as his eyes changed and glared at his father as he softly voiced out. “Either that, or she knows.”
BANG!
“Ye Sheng!”
Both heads turned around almost instantly to the intrusion they were having.
Left for Ye Cheng he was going to get mad at who was rudely interrupting his personal angry meeting.
Right before their eyes was the last person they would have ever would have imagined they would see but low and behold she was the one that showed.
She looked like an angry angel with the way she-cat walked into the room, rather than storming straight fr them.
But one thing stood out, the wrinkles that had begun to appear at the side of her face, followed by the way her eyes narrowed at them, well in this case him.
To crown it all up, the sound of her heels hitting against the tiled floor added to the angry atmosphere she was creating but the whiteness of her jumpsuit now made her look more of a white demoness, her beauty making the whole scene even more captivating.
A simple stunning dangerous beauty.
“Ye Sheng!”
At the next yell, she snapped both men out of their own stupid trances and back to reality.
“Umm,” he gulped. He knew she was angry and no one loved an angry woman.
“Li An.”
“Don’t you dare call my name you….”
