Chapter 109 - Things Don't Add Up

CHAPTER 109

"Okay, you do not have to say if you do not want to. I just want to be in your arms." Bai Qing Mei wrapped her arms on Ye Cheng's neck and rested her head against his chest while playing with his collar.

While she was doing this, Ye Cheng's mind and thoughts drifted off and processed the words she told him.

He did not know whether it was a lie she said or that that was really what happened. Either way, he needed to carefully think about it and see if he could get hold of the CCTV footage around that area.

~At the same time, Li Jing was still having her discussion with her friend, Yin Lifen. She briefly gave her a scenario to discuss the issue and even Yin Lifen did not believe the theory of Bai Qing Mei being dead.

"Sorry to say, it is either she was not there, to begin with, or she never died at all or you saw wrong or something. I just do not think she died."

"My thoughts exactly, but he looked so devastated and said he watched her die and now she is alive looking like nothing happened to her."

"Well, it doesn't add up. Just confirm things from this friend of yours. Maybe he didn't see well."

"Or maybe, it was what he was lead to believe. I mean giving the circumstance of her death," Li Jing muttered to herself.

"Pardon?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just muttering words."

"Hmm… Li Jing, what happened exactly? Tell me."

"It is nothing Fen Fen. I am still trying to place something together. Don't get me wrong, I am not jealous, the whole thing doesn't sit right to me."

"We are talking about Jelly now? Where is this coming from, Li Jing? Who are you jealous of?"

"I said I am not jealous!" Li Jing snapped and Yin Lifen knew something was wrong with her friend.

Both of them kept quiet for some time. Each one of them allowed the other to process what just happened.

It was Yin Lifen who broke the silence first after she felt that Li Jing must have calmed down from her now steady breathing.

"Li Jing, you are angry. This rarely happens. Talk to me, what is it that is bothering you?"

Li Jing took a deep breath, relaxing on her chair then used her right hand to rub her face before she responded to her friend' question.

She knew he was acting way out of the normal and that alone was scary for Yin Lifen who rarely saw her get angry. It was not even in her nature to be angry but somehow, watching that girl behaved that way, riled her up and thinking about how they publicly displayed their affection, she felt her head spin from rage.

She wasn't angry that they kissed. I mean they are boyfriend and girlfriend. What got her pissed off was how Bai Qing Mei was acting.

She also indirectly called her one of his fans that should be kept off him as though she was chasing after him.

And she knew Bai Qing Mei did all she did just to prove to her that Ye Cheng belonged to her since she caught them in that awkward position earlier.

She inhaled deeply once more as the memories washed on her.

"Li Jing!"

"Yes, yes?" She jolted up on her seat and held her chest with her right hand. "Fen Fen, do not ever scare me like that again."

"I am sorry but you were not replying."

"I know, I was thinking of something. I am sorry for yelling at you before."

"No harm is done. Want to meet after closing from work? I know you need someone to talk to right now?"

"Yeah sure."

"Okay but hope it is not Duan Tian and that good for nothing sister of yours that is making you like this?"

"Not in a million years would I allow her to have an upper hand against me. Give it time, I would make them both pay for all they did to me."

"Wow, my Li Jing is becoming tougher."

"Forgive me, but they brought this hate upon themselves. All I ever did wrong was to be brought into that family and ever since then, Li Xiu and her mother has never made me forget that my life was in their hands."

"It is alright. I am just bothered. Whatever it is that got you riled up sure was serious but then again, I can't help asking, who are you jealous of, if I may ask?"

"Fen Fen."

"Okay, okay. I would leave you now. Meet you at Shadow Meadow?"

"Yeah. I would text you once I close from work."

"I can come and pick you, up."

Li Jing was about rejecting her offer but when she recalled that Ye Cheng's driver would come to send her home, she quickly accepted it

She just did not want to talk or see him right now. He should remain with his girlfriend.

"Fine, you can."

"Good. Call me when you are about to close for the day, okay?"

"I will. Bye."

Immediately she put the phone down, another call came through. Letting out another sigh, Li Jing picked the phone and answered the call.

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Ah! Li Jing, I was beginning to think you were avoiding my calls."

"Avoiding your calls? What do you mean, Mr Kang?"

"It rang and you did not pick up."

"Sorry, I was on another call and it did not come in. My apologies."

"No, no problem. I am calling with respect to my earlier proposal."

"Mr Kang, please. I already told you. I cannot work for you. I am sorry."

"No that is not what I called for exactly. I know you wouldn't work for me when you have such a position as Dream Star's Financial Manager."

"Then what did you call for if not that?"

"I would like to do business with you, Li Jing and if you cannot work for me, at the very least partner with me."
