CHAPTER 680
“Careful lest you sprain your ankle. Your lies won’t unfold before him today!”
Li Xiu gritted her teeth when she heard those words sleep out from Li Jing’s mouth. If not that she was in a hurry to be sure no truth had indeed slipped out of Li Jing’s mouth, she would have engaged in a verbal fight with her.
Too sad, Li Jing wasn’t even intending to stay and be in her presence.
BANG!
She closed her car door and let out a sigh before pulling out her phone from her small bag and placing a call to her men out there.
…..
“Hello, madam.”
‘Yes. Thank you for the warning.”
“Welcome always madam.”
“Okay, I would need you to keep watch and I would always leave my phone on ring now so can detect any calls and avoid the mistake of today.”
“No worries ma. If there is anything urgent, we would take care of it for you. All you have to do is relax.”
“Yes. Thank you. Anyways, keep monitoring Li Xiu and Ding Jiaying for me and appraise me on their dealings.”
‘Yes ma’am.”
“Alright, that would be all. Thanks.”
‘Welcome, ma. Goodbye.”
She ended the call, dropped her phone and drove out, leaving the Li’s to face their fate alone.
***
Once Li Jing had stepped out of the house, she turned around and made his way back to the living room. All while his mind kept on taking him back to the talk they had. It simply meant things were not as they were.
She was here to dig up something and Li Xiu, as well as Ding Jiayng, would be her hindrance.
He placed his fingers on his jaw as he thought away while supporting his elbow with the other free hand.
*Flashback*
“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 it around the bush. I would tell you what you wish and crave to know, father.”
His shoulders dropped and quickly they went back up as did his eyes and his ears came to full attention.
“I am all ears, Li Jing. Tell me, really what is bothering you that you wish to speak to me and not the others?”
“I thought you must have figured it out by now that I hate those two, your family and do not say they are mine because they would never be my family.”
“I know. So I won’t even bother to tell you to stop. All I know is why? Why seek me out this time. I am no longer relevant in your life, Li Jing?”
“Because you have been relevant in my life right from the start and even now, it turns out you are extremely relevant. I can neither go forward nor back. I just know I have you.”
“Great. So tell me.”
“I recently started digging information about my past since it has been proven so much by my grandfather that I am his, after his daughter, my mother eloped with another man.”
“Umm…” he could not say anything but stood there looking at her with a little bit of shock in his eyes.
“I know why my father is. And I know it wasn’t you. Grandfather still recalls the name of the person my mother was in love with before she left him. And it wasn’t the Li Chun.”
“Okay.”
“So, I know what happened to my father. What I need to know is my mother. Where she is and if what you aid all these years about my adoption is right, I want to know everything.”
GULP!
He swallowed hard enough for his adam’s apple to shift.
This has been a discussion no one had made since they entered his lair but here he was being asked that question. A past he wished not to recall because since Li Jing came home with him, he had lost so much already.
“So, aside from the fact that Li Xiu and your wife have nothing to say to each other aside curse words, it is true they cannot help me. I am here searching you out.”
“I see. Well as you know, that is a touchy topic.”
‘Trust me, father. Not as touchy as it was for me. Please I would visit next, get me the answers I seek.”
She did not wait for him before she faced the door and walked over to the little passageway with Xiaoli still clenching the phone in her hand tight.
*Flashback Ends*
“Hmm, looks like things have started to go back. I need to think of a way not to revisit that time and…”
“Dad! Daddy!”
The sound of Li Xiu’s annoying voice disturbing the peace of the house was clearly heard along the passageway as her body rushed into the living room, disturbing his thinking.
He shot a cold glance up at her, causing her to halt in her steps and swallow hard.
The look he gave her only made her feel like he had been told something he should not have known about yet.
“Li Xiu.”
“Father.” Instantly, her tone changed, setting things in motion for a discussion she wished she would not be having alone, that is.
“What is with all the ruckus and disturbance? Wouldn’t you let someone have peace in his house again?”
“Father, I…”
“You what? You better have a genuine reason for disturbing my peace like that. Come on, out with it. I am waiting. Do not make me lose my temper, Li Xiu. What was this most important piece of information you had to tell me that got you screaming my name?”
The silence that ensued only made Li Chun irk. He felt like slapping the living daylights out of her and knocking her out involuntarily.
“Such a big nuisance like your mother.”
She gritted her teeth and balled her hands into a fist at her side. She did not bother hiding it as she would have before because she was mad.
Mad at him for insulting her and her mother like that.
