CHAPTER 628

She shook her head a bit and then looked at him, narrowing her eyes properly. "What were you thinking?"

"Nothing!"

"Finally. The truth's out. You weren't thinking because you never have thought. If you have then all of your actions for the past twenty years would not have been so and our company would not be facing this dilemma."

"I'm sorry."

Okay, those words had weakened her a bit. She was still in love with him even with his useless behaviour. He was her first and true love and breaking up with him was even more hurtful.

Although time had healed the wounds felt, she could not help feeling sad when she saw his trending news with different girls and now when he said that calmly, it weakened her.

She took in a deep breath, lowering her head a bit and she placed a hand on her forehead and another on her waist.

"Soor huh? Ye Sheng, sorry cannot fix this shit you put us in. It just can't." she dropped her hands closing the gap between her and the table as she placed her hands on it like how Ye Cheng had been before, leaning on it but having her eyes peel up.

"Now if you are really sorry, ten for the first time in a long time, do the actual right thing."

He swallowed hard. His gaze sweeping from Li An to his son and then back. "Which is?"

"Tell me how and why you did what you did and you have my word, I would sort this matter out to the best of my abilities."

No one spoke. Even Ye Cheng who had folded his hands before suddenly stood straight, dropping his hands as he stared at his father, daring him to do the right thing as his mother had stated.

After a few minutes, it still ended at what it was. He couldn't speak up. "I can't" he voiced out finally.

Li An's head dropped and so did Ye Cheng. He was given a chance to come clean yet he blew it. At this point, Ye Cheng did not think he would be saved again. His mother would rain down on his parade.

But surprisingly when she lifted her head, the words that fell out of her mouth even though her eyes were seething red, was clearly opposite of how she felt.

"What are you ashamed for, me? I know it is hard and you feel bad that your reputation had fallen in my sight but Ye Sheng, it would fall even more if you do not speak up. And know this, once I find out the truth, I would be coming for you. And this time, I won't back down."

Though she spoke calmly and silently, her warning was deadly.

She had just given him, his very last chance.

Seeing the way things were going and believing his wife when she said she would come for him, Ye Sheng had to admit, her threat scared him because eat the rate things were going, he was losing greatly.

Yes, his company was all he had to cling unto but now, could he just cling to that only now that he had somewhat lost it?

He let out another sigh, allowing his eyelid dop close and then he leaned in on the table, mimicking her posture but unlike her face that was hard and cold, he looked like a man who had fallen so much and was looking to be saved.

"Fine. I would let you know."

GAGHAN!

Meanwhile, in Lin Zian's city, his sister and sister-in-law still kept their nose about the matters happening to Li Jing in Star City.

Although they had not yet acted, it did not change anything that they were a posing danger.

Seated in the big office was a young man on the biggest office chair behind the desk and seated opposite of he, were two other ladies, both almost of the same age and older than or the same age as his mother.

"Yes. Good day ladies. How may I help you?" the young man asked, looking all cheerful and bright.

"Umm." Both ladies adjusted themselves in their seats then looked at each other, waiting for who would take the baton first to speak.

Finally, the older one voiced out. "Yes. Good morning. I know you know us. Our families have been business partners for a long time now."

"Yes. How can I forget? Li Jing's grand aunties and Lin Qinyang's aunties."

"Yes. We are here to see you today, Kim Fan for a very important, pressing matter."

'Oh, I see. Shouldn't you go to my father when it comes to things of the company? Why come to me, first?" He leaned back against his chair, both hands together as his fingers intertwined in front of him on his stomach as he awaited their response.

"Umm yes, but it is not a matter of the company. It is a personal matter and we believe you can help us."

"Is that what you think too?" He arched his brows in the younger one's direction. "What say you Mrs Lin Xuilan?"

"Umm. Me?"

"Yes, you. You believe I can help you too?"

"Yes." She drew out closer, pulling her seat with her as she fixed her gaze on him. "It is about Li Jing and we know that she and our family, were particularly, Lin Zian's family has wronged your family greatly and ade you people a public spectacle and laughing figure."

"Oh, I see."

Eyeing him slightly, Lin Qi decided to chip in. She did not know why he was acting coy like that as though he was not happy with all the ploy going on against Li Jing.

"Yes, and please be sincere with us. You were madly angry when she broke your engagement by going to marry someone else without a proper explanation to you and just ridiculed you very much."

"Yes. I would admit I was angry."

"Good, so we have your support then," Lin Xiulan added quickly.

"Not so fast."
