CHAPTER 329

~STAR CITY~

By the next day, her plane arrived at Star City, and quickly she went to stay in a hotel. At first, she wanted to go to any of the houses Ye Cheng left for her to stay in anytime but then she did not know what had happened that made them pull apart and thought to just stay on her own first.

But by the afternoon when her grandfather called his house there asking if she had arrived, he found out she wasn’t in the house and called her line.

"Li Jing, where are you? Why haven’t you gotten home yet? Did something happen?"

"No grandfather. I forgot and booked a hotel before getting here. So when I arrived I recalled and just decided to stay the night over first and tomorrow I would go home."

"Alright. Do not get me worried again. I cannot afford anything happening to you too."

"Nothing would happen to me, grandpa. Be rest assured. I know this city like the back of my hand. I am safe."

"If you say so. Be a good girl and rest well."

"Take care gramps. Bye." Beep!

’One step down. Now, time to move on to phase two. Time to see what that CEO has been up to.’ Li Jing thought with a small smile displayed on her lips. ’First, let us call Zixin and Fen Fen.’

Ring! Ring!

"Hello, Jing Jing!!"

"Jing Jing?" Li Jing’s brows furrowed at the new nickname her friend came up with. "Tsk... What’s with the new nickname Fen Fen?"

"You do not like it?"

"No."

"What? Hey, it is the same as you calling me Fen Fen." Yin Lifen frowned at her friend even though she knew Li Jing could not see it.

"Not the same baby. You like me calling you Fen Fen while you call me what you like."

"I like Jing Jing."

"Sigh, let me finish. You would call me what you like that I like as well."

"Ohhh... "

"Yes."

"No way!" Yin Lifen stated clearly.

"Sigh!" Li Jing shook her head and mentally face palmed herself. "I did not call to argue with you, Yin Lifen."

"Then what did you call for?" Yin Lifen asked, butting in.

"To tell you that I am here. I am back to Star..."

Before Li Jing could finish her words, Yin Lifen yelled. "Aaaaahhh!!"

"Calm down, young lady," Li Jing managed to get her voice to be heard after removing the phone from her ear and rolling her eyes at her friend.

"How can I be calm? Tell me, when did you arrive?"

"Today. A few hours ago."

"And you thought to call me just now?"

"Yin Lifen, calm down. I am sorry," Li Jing apologised.

"No. You are not. What have you been doing since that you are just calling?" Yin Lifen attacked, again.

Liu Jing shook her head and took in a deep breath. She knew that her friend was another case entirely. "I arrive barely two hours ago and I just settled in. I wanted to settle in before I put a cal to you."

"Are you sure you were not busy thinking of someone or you went to see him first, hmm?"

"Fen Fen," Li Jing called out her name in a warning tone. "You know better than that. That would be the last place I would get to after settling in and that is to show and tell him that I am doing very much okay and find out what happened."

"Tsk, do not be a killjoy. I was just kidding. Anyways since your heart still beats for him and only him, I think you should see him as soon as possible. Who knows, perhaps now that he has seen you, things would change."

"Not without a suitable explanation as to why he did what he did," Li Jing said with a stern voice. Even though her heart yearned for him, her head still wanted to maintain her pride.

"If you say so. Where are you, so that I can come and pay you a visit?"

"I am at a hotel."

"What!"

"Relax. I would go home tomorrow. I just did not make the right preparations and it was as a result of the rush."

’Why rush? I am surprised to see you here and yet you haven’t met the most important person that brought you here."

"Ye Cheng isn’t what brought me here. Lin Enterprise did. I need to start the new branch and ensure her prosperity and strong standing before leaving."

"Wait a minute. What?"

"You heard me," Li Jing simply stated and smiled to herself.

"But, I thought that you refused to come to Star City and decided that someone else would come and do it."

"Plans change baby girl."

"Nah. Tell me, what influenced your decision? It must be very important for you to abandon the big deal at home for this place. A city holding your worst memories."

"And my best ones too," Li Jing helped her finished.

"Such as?" As far as Yin Lifen was concerned, she did not see the good memories Li Jing was talking about considering that her whole life she was maltreated by her family members.

"Calm down. I meant my memories with you and Ye Cheng. They were important to me And made my time here worthwhile."

"I am glad I could contribute something to your life but don’t you see, you need him as well to complete the ensemble. To refill the void he created and bring back your true happiness. Gop to him, talk to him."

"I would try. Also, this has a big link as to why I am here."

’What is that, Li Jing? You are scaring me."

"Do not be scared. But know this, I would be needing your help during my stay here."

"Anything for you. Just say the world and if I can do it, I would do it with all I have got."

"Thanks, dear. Do take care."

"Bye, and be safe."

"Yeah."
