Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart-Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Why Did You Come?

CHAPTER 679

“So, why did you come over today?” Li Chun asked.

“I came to see you. Why? Am I not welcomed here in this household?”

“No. No. No.” He managed to give her a sincere laugh but Li Jing could see just how fake that was.

“Okay.”

“Yes. It is your home. If there is anything, I would think you did not want us in your life again. You simply ignored us.”

.....

“Perhaps I did,” Li Jing began, shifting out of her seat, “But your wife and daughter chased me and did not give me a peaceful time. It is only natural I try to leave.”

“Completely understandable,” Li Chun said, nodding his head at her. “Anyways, how is my in-law, Ye Cheng?”

“He is fine. He is doing well.”

VROOM!

At the same time, she felt her phone vibrate, pulling her attention to her back.

Without saying anything, she smiled at her father before bringing out her phone and smiling at him again.

“Pardon me, I would take this call.”

“Very well. Let me check on Xiaoli then for a snack for you.” He stood up halfway, ready to go make the command. What he really wanted was to ensure Li Jing stayed for a long ime to accompany him.

However, Li Jing had no plans of allowing how nosy wife and daughter meet her. “Oh no. I mean it, I am okay.”

Defeated, he resigned himself and sat back down. “Alright. If you say so.”

Her cheeks puffed up as a genuine smile formed on her lips and then she answered the call. “Hello,” she voice out calmly but made sure her tone was also low.

“Madam, we got notified.”

“Yes?”

“Li Xiu is on her way to the house.”

“I see,” she did not want to give up anything to her father, so she acted natural. “Distance?”

“Well, she is not far away. She had a function with her friend but turned around after a call and according to our spies, she is close.”

“I see. Very good then. Thank you for keeping me posted about this business. I would get back to you.”

Just from her tone and how she was calm, he could tell she was acting pretty well and played along, “Welcome, ma.”

Not saying anything more, she ended the call and dropped her hand at her side. It took up to thirty seconds pause before she lifted her head and looked at him.

The look in his eyes told her he was expectant and even more, as though his heart had been crushed by her silence after her call.

“Father,” she stood up slowly.

“I knew you would leave so soon,” he too stood up and waited for her.

“I am sorry. I wished I could stay but my attention is needed.”

“It is the weekend today. Does Ye Cheng still let you go to work on such a day? Besides your injury hasn’t recovered, shouldn’t you be home resting?”

“I would be. But my attention is needed.”

“Okay. I would let you leave on one reason.”

“What is it?” She asked looking less interested in any of this but still wondering to see what he wanted to pull off.

“I will if you tell me the real reason why you are here. You did not want to see Ding Jiaying nor Li Xiu, your sister...”

“She is not my sister,” Li Hing cut in. Her eyes narrowed as her brows furrowed a bit.

One look and you would know not to mess with her. Regardless, Li Chun chose to push his luck and see how well it would go.

“Tell me, because I know you well enough did not come to just say hi.”

“Great. Glad you do. I would not hide it anymore or beat around the bush.”

He took in a deep breath, waiting to hear the tale he so much desired.

On the other hand, Li Xiu had decided to go to a party that Saturday and when she was about to leave when her phone buzzed.

“Hello.”

“Xiaoli, yes, what is it?”

“Young mistress’s, you would not believe who showed up today,” Xiaoli whispered.

“Who?”

“Your sister, Miss Li Jing.”

“She did what!”

“Yes, ma. She came to see the master.”

“Damn it!”

“Ma?”

“Do not worry, I am on my way now.”

She ended the call and gritted her teeth in anger. She did not know what li Jing want but she felt like perhaps she was coming to expose all of her evil deeds to her father.

If that happens, she would be left with no option but to disown her. And things were already bad enough lately. She did not want anymore.

“Gosh, that damned woman. I did not attack now, but it looks like she is about to make her own first move in destroying me. Gosh, I should see Bai Qing Mei first.”

She dropped her phone on her thigh and was about to give her driver orders when another thought came to mind.

“Head right home in full speed. I forgot something,” she ordered.

“Yes, ma.”

Relaxing into her seat, her eyes narrowed even more as her rage became evident on her face. “Think you can do as you please, Li Jing. Just you wait. I would put you in your place.”

***

Vroom! Vroom!

She knew they were warning her to leave the house and so she taped on her bag a bit and turned around. At the same time, the sound of a car coming at full speed.

She did not need a second telling, Li Xiu was rushing home.

Walking out the door, she cast a side glance at Xiaoli who by now was still standing close to the house telephone and smirked at her.

‘So you were the snitch, weren’t you? Great.’ Li Jing noted before smiling at her.

“Take care, Xiaoli. It was nice visiting.”

“Li Jing,” Li Chun called out.

“Yes, father?”

“Take care.”

“I will.” That was all and she left the house. However just before she got into her car, she saw Li Xiu stepping out and casting a cold glance at her.

All she did in reply was... “Careful lest you sprain your ankle. Your lies won’t unfold before him today!”
