Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 31 - Li Xiu's Outburst

CHAPTER 31

As far as Duan Tian was concerned, he did not want to be the husband of an illegitimate child. It would soil his family’s name and can make him lose his rights as heir to the business.

That was why when Li Xiu had seduced him, he fell for it as he was already thinking of going for her instead and leave Li Jing.

Seeing her mind had gone far, Luo Jinhai could not help but thinking he may have said something wrong and only intensified the awkward atmosphere even more.

"Li Jing."

"Hmm," she replied absentmindedly.

"I am sorry. I was just joking you know." He reached for her hand and gently touched it, startling her and making her jolt a little.

"No, it is not you. Thanks for bringing me here and for the food. I appreciate it."

"Hearing her soft voice, coupled with her angelic smile was all he needed to cub his aching heart.

"I am glad it is to your taste. Eat up."

Their meal continued in silence after that.

Meanwhile at her father’s company, Li Xiu just strolled into the office. She had gone there late today being Monday as she had sleepless night thinking of what to tell her father when he returns and ask about Li Jing.

Up until now, there was no news about Li Jing from Duan Tian and she had even wondered if his men were doing anything about it like he informed her.

Resigning her fate to only wait for his good news, Li Xiu hoped for a better and brighter day ahead.

By the time she got to where the workers were, everyone started greeting her with smiles on their faces, making her wonder what had happened, but as usual she took her chin up and majestically walked like a pageant Queen to the third floor.

By the time she got to the last floor, they all stood up to welcome her and even Yang Yan Mei rushed out of her office like the boot licking swan she was to welcome Li Xiu.

Upon seeing her and the weird smile on their faces, Li Xiu decided to ask the obvious question.

"What happened here?" Her eyes took turn and landed on everyone as she dropped her next question.

"Did Li Jing come here today?" Her eyes narrowed as her gaze came to a stop on the office which Li Jing previously occupied.

It was Yang Yan Mei who first answered to her question. With glee in her voice, she replied, "Yes she came and per your orders, she was asked to leave. It had not been too long since she left that you came, Ms Li."

Ding! Ding!

Just like a bell that was played, Yang Yan Mei’s words fell on Li Xiu’s ears, sinking in bit by bits.

Li Xiu could not believe her ears. ’What did this lady just say?’ The Li Jing she had been looking for that gave her mother and herself a headache finally came to the company and the idiots kicked her out.

Like a mad woman, Li Xiu’s eyes flew wide open, startling every worker present, but they thought that perhaps she was angry that she had missed seeing the disgrace Li Jing experienced.

And so, Yang YanMei quickly added. "Do not worry Ms Li, we made sure to give her the embarrassment suited her, so she would never step foot in this company."

’It hasn’t been too long... Embarrassment...She would never set foot in this company... Oh my God! I feel like I would just faint from hearing her words. This lady has killed me.’

The joy on Yang Yan Mei’s face dropped immediately seeing that their Chairman’s daughter was not looking pleased at all by the news.

Li Xiu knew this lady, Yang Yan Mei had never liked Li Jing since she started working in their father’s company.

So when she said they gave her enough embarrassment, Li Xiu believed every word even though the lady only exaggerated just to look good in front of her eyes, Li Xiu did not doubt one word.

"Who exactly did drive her out?" Li Xiu managed to ask and tried her best in composing herself as a sweet smile spread across her lips.

"I personally did and the others helped," Yang Yan Mei confessed.

Li Xiu now turned to face her, her smile still spread fully on her face as she did. Yes, indeed her suspicions were confirmed. There was only one thing she could think of to do. At that moment, her smile faded.

"Ms Li," she began to say, buy the next minute what she got was what her mind would never have imagined.

POW!

A hot slap that stung every living cell in that area was sent across her white cheeks. Yang Yan Mei and the others in the company were shocked beyond apprehension and looked back at her with wide eyes.

Their brains were slow to work and process everything. They had thought she would be happy with them and reward them, but what they got... well what Yang Yan Mei got, was something that would ring in her brain for days.

Just today she was slapped by the Li sisters twice in one morning.

Yang Yan Mei turned her head back to look at the enraged Li Xiu with her hands holding her now hot and reddened cheek.

If she had thought the slap that Li Jing gave her was hot, then she was surely mistaken as Li Xiu’s own carried with it the unimaginable anger that she felt.

"Who had asked you all to interfere?!" Li Xiu bellowed, sending chills down their spines.

"Ms Li, but..." Yang Yan Mei started to say when Li Xiu hollered again.

"But what?"

"We thought that was the order you gave and we followed it." One of the workers far from where she was decided to help Yang Yan Mei answer, fearing for her that she would be given another slap if she gave an answer that annoyed Li Xiu and considering she was standing close to Li Xiu.
