Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 92 - Are They Bullying You?

*********

CHAPTER 92

"Are they bullying you?" Tang Zixin asked.

"It is nothing. They just had some questions to ask."

"Oh, okay let’s go then. I have some things to talk to you about."

"Sure."

Together, both of them walked away to another part of the hall to better converse, leaving Li Xiu and the others behind.

"Arrghh!" Yu Xiang half yelled.

"Just how come she knows Tang Zixin?"Li Xiu voiced out as her gaze still trailed after them.

"If it was just him, wouldn’t that be good?" Zhang Ai spoke up after some time.

Li Xiu who wasn’t around when Li Jing arrived with Ye Cheng, did not understand what she meant.

"Calm down Yu Xiang," her elder twin consoled her.

"How can I calm down when my Tang Zixin just took her away with lots of smiles on his face?" Yu Xiang complained.

"First it was Ye Cheng and now, Tang Zixin. Just who doesn’t this Li Jing not know?" Zhang Ai remarked.

"What! Ye Cheng?!"

Li Xiu could not believe her ears. Did she just hear Ye Cheng?

Honestly, that day at the supermarket. She had refused to believe that Li Ing really knew Ye Cheng and it was all a joke. Perhaps his head bodyguard only came for her because she owed something and nothing more, but hearing his name again today, Li Jing began to question the situation.

"I felt like beating her when she walked in with my Ye Cheng. Arghh. Why didn’t he look at me, huh?" Yu Xuilan complained.

"She came in with Ye Cheng!"

The terrible twins and their friends all turned to look at Li Xiu like she was one crazed human being.

’What is her deal? Why is she behaving like a lunatic?’ Zhang Ai thought.

"Why are you so shocked? Weren’t you here when she arrived with Ye Cheng hand in hand? Just tell me she is his assistant?"

"There is no way she could be his assistant, Yu Xuilan, Han Qing Qing is still his assistant," Yu Xiang corrected.

"Then who is she? She is definitely nor his sister or wife, so what is her relationship with him?"

"Perhaps she is his fiancé."

"I doubt that. What of Bai Qing Mei?"

"Do not ask me, sis. I am equally as heartbroken as you are. Come let us have a drink, we would find out later."

Together the others left, leaving Li Xiu to her crazy thoughts.

’Just what kind of Jackpot did Li Jing hit for her to be close to this kind of people?’ Li Xiu thought to herself.

Her eyes traced Li Jing in the ground and saw her having a drink with Tang Zixin with a lot of smiles on the latter’s face.

"I bet she just slept with someone who knows them and managed to get close to them. I am here trying to befriend these girls but once more, Li Jing ruined it with her bad luck. Oh mother, why did you ever accept her into our home?"

In actual fact, when Li Xiu heard that the Duan Group was invited for the party, she clung on Duan Tian and made sure it was him who would represent the family for the event so she could go as his plus one.

She had hoped to get close to the rich kids and join their clique but now, everything fell off place.

Upon arrival, she noticed the small group of girls talking and knew out rightly that they were ganged up against someone they disliked.

She felt if she could help them talk down the person, then they would allow her in their circle. That was why she went there.

What a shock she got when she heard the voice of the one they ganged up on, her sister Li Jing. She felt like it was her lucky day as she had more than enough things to say to make her sister feel bad and thus gain the favour of the rich babes.

She was even more shocked when she saw Li Jing’s outfit. Everything she was putting on, screamed money even from afar. Just seeing that, Li Jing confirmed she was a mistress.

It was either she was a mistress or a side chick that warmed the bed of one of the young bachelors and gained his favour that he allowed her to come along.

Little did she know that all her speculations were in the wrong and all her plans, were going to be a perfect failure.

With nothing to do to quench her frustration, Li Xiu picked up a glass of wine from one of the ushers serving drinks and gulped it all in one go.

She needed the booze to help her clear her mind and think properly.

’Where is Duan Tian?’

***

Back with Tang Zixin and Li Jing, they discussed small things and after some time, he finally asked her the question he had been willing to ask.

"So have you reconsidered joining my company?"

"Tang Zixin," she started but he lifted a finger to stop her.

"Li Jing, why does it feel like you are avoiding me or trying to run away from me?"

"No, it is not that. I am not running."

"Then why is it so hard to accept my offer? I told you, grandma wanted me to always assist you but it seems like I would not be able to fulfil her heart desires because you are avoiding me."

"I am sorry Tang Zixin about that but I am not avoiding you."

"Then accept it."

"I can’t."

"Why?"

Meanwhile, Ye Cheng had successfully escaped from his business partners and decided to get back to Li Jing. He id not want to leave her in the first place but he also did not want too many of his business partner’s eyes to be on her and he recalled some girls were already getting jealous of her, so he knew she may be facing some sort of bullying.

Knowing her, that would not be a problem for him to handle but she may be reluctant to, so as not to ruin his reputation as they came together.

He did not have to search long as he found her glimmering red gown at a corner in the hall. Upon noticing she was with a man, he frowned.

’Why won’t they see a pretty lady and leave her alone?’ Ye Cheng thought to himself.

***

"Why don’t you want to work with my company?" Tang Zixin probed Li Jing once more.

He was determined that this time, he would get an answer from her and a positive one. Just at that moment, another voice spoke, answering for Li Jing.

"Because she works for me. She is my company’s finance manager."
