CHAPTER 353
For Ye Cheng he did not want to hear such possibility as he knew that would also spell that her child, his childhood love would be dead too or something like that.
What was worse was the fact that her disappearance made had his mother like that, what then would happen to Li An when she found out that her friend actually died?
It would be such a devastating blow.
"You chose to let her brainwash you into thinking she was still alive? Ask your mother carefully. If indeed she was still alive, wouldn't she still be found by now? It had been over twenty years since she went missing. Your mother just couldn't bear to hear the truth and so she idled herself in her own self-created prison, feeding her brains with her delusion and feeding you with the same poison."
"Leave mother alone. She is not deranged or something. Auntie is not dead and neither is her daughter. They are both alive.'
"Keep telling yourself that. When you are ready break off and face the truth for yourself. You won this time around but then I would see how your own infidelity would play out. You are my son after all and if I know correctly, you still are in love…"
"Get out." Ye Cheng did not wait one second for his father to finish his sentence when he yelled out in anger.
The shout carried enough force to make one know that an angry Lion was in the premises. For those preys lurking nearby, once they heard it they knew better to flee other than to remain where they were.
"Now before I do something that you and I would regret."
Ye Sheng already felt embarrassed with what was going on and even worse, he knew his son had temper but rarely showed it.
He really came at a wrong time and messed up. He had failed once again.
Feeling the hunch of failure overwhelm him, he eyed his son once before turning around then he turned his head to look at his son again.
"Next time, I promise you, you wouldn't win. I would end your confidence."
With that he took his leave and left the company.
'Ye Cheng, enjoy it while you can but I would make sure your confidence is squashed and then when you are in my shoes with your infidelity, you would understand.' Ye Sheng was so sure of himself and could not wait for things to fall into place.

By the time Ye Cheng returned to his office, he met Han Qing Qing sitting on one of the chairs. Immediately she saw him, she stood up and lowered her head.
"You." His stern voice was enough to send chills running down her spine at his cold tone. When he saw how shaken she was, he closed his eyes, trying his best to will his anger to come back down and by the time he was sure that all was well, he looked at her again .
"Never you let the likes of him bully you again. He wouldn't anymore, that's for sure. Understand?"
Han Qing Qing nodded her head in understand then awaited further instructions from him.
"You may get back to work now. Cancel all of my appointments for the day and send the other works, the e-copy to my mail. I need to go home."
"Yes sir." She did not argue or even bother to find out what was wrong with him, she knew just by seeing his father alone, all would not be well for the boss.
"Thanks. And sorry that I scared you, please."
"No worries sir. I am happy that you could come to my rescue like you did."
Hearing her sincere thanks, all he could do was to actually smile at her before finishing up the work he was doing before the interruption.

All these while, Li Jing did not meet tang Zixin and neither had she explained to him what had actually happened.
She finished from work that day and felt like talking to someone she was closed to and unfortunately for her, Ye Cheng was not in, while Yin Lifen was busy with some work at her family's company.
Seeing as there was no other person other than Tang Zixin, she decided to call him.
"Perhaps now is the time to explain things to him.' Li Jing thought to herself after some thought on whether she should call him or not.
Ring! Ring!
"Hello." His voice wasn't all that welcoming when she heard it.
Li Jing had two thoughts in her mind. It was either he was stressed out from work or he was still angry at her. Regardless of which one it was, she really wanted to make amends.
"Hello, Tang Zixin. How are you?"
"Li Jing, I am fine, you?"
"Great." No one spoke again. There really wasn't anything for Tang Zixin to say other than to ask how her husband was faring.
"How is your husband?"
Li Jing took in a deep breath, unsure of where this conversation would lead. Was it to a fruitful peaceful end or more anger? She wasn't sure.
"He is fine. Thanks. Umm, Tang Zixin."
"Yes?"
"Okay, I know what I did was wrong for not informing you about my wedding. Honestly no one was aware including my grandpa."
"Why? You did not think we were worthy of celebrating it with you or what?"
"It is not like that. Everything was just… Sigh, I just wish you would trust that you are important to me. I value our friendship Tang Zixin."
"I see. Well it doesn't look like that to me."
"I wish I could make you understand better."
"Then try me. Trust me enough to tell me what is bothering you."
"Fine. Let us meet at a restaurant. I do not want to say this over the phone. It would be better if I explain one on one."
"Alright. I would send you the address of the restaurant."
"Okay. Thanks." Beep! "I hope I am doing the right thing.' She thought.
