Chapter 204: Resourceful Ye Cheng

********

CHAPTER 204

Ye Cheng was worried about pissing Li Jing off and that was why he muttered those words to himself. Tang Zixin smiled at Ye Cheng.

He knew the kind of situation he was in and felt victorious that the naughty CEO's lips could actually keep calm even though he was vexed.

'Smile all you want now, Tang Zixin. Li Jing is your saving grace.' Ye Cheng thought to himself.

"Ciao." Without saying anything much, he bade them goodbye and exited the hotel room leaving Li Jing to Ye Cheng's capable hands.

Tang Zixin could not deny the feelings he was having for Li Jing, regardless, her choice and happiness mattered most to him.

He knew that if it came down to it, Li Jing would pick to stay with Ye Cheng over him so he was more than glad when she brought the option of her friend.

'Sigh! Li Jing, be safe. In due time all your sufferings would come to an end.' With that thought set in place, he exited the hotel in general before placing a call to her grandfather.

"Hey, pack up and let me drop you off."

"Alright, give me three minutes. You can help yourself to some pizza while you wait."

"I'll pass."

By the time Li Jing was done, Ye Cheng had her luggage taken to his car while both of them took the elevator down.

Minutes later, they arrived at her place and Li Jing's brows kneaded together. She thought he was going to take her to Yin Lifen's house but here they were at the place she did not want to be.

"Ye Cheng."

"Relax. Look carefully." He pointed at her window from inside the car and Li Jing rolled down the glass to have a look at what he was saying. "Do you think I would take forever to fix up the place? I have changed all that needs to be changed in the house and everything is as good as new."

To say Li Jing was speechless was an understatement. "I am the owner anyway. It is my duty to ensure that the occupants in the building are well protected and things have been put in place to ensure better security."

"Ye Cheng." Her mouth fell open as her eyes searched his, looking for the right words to say to him.

"Nevertheless, you won't be staying here." Li Jing frowned at his words. She just did not understand what he meant. "I only brought you here to see that you can pack in anytime but there is something else I want to show you."

"What is that?"

"It is a surprise. Sit tight."

He put the car on reverse and drove out of the compound. It didn't take long for them to arrive at another house. Although this one was a bungalow and different from the previous one, it accorded her the privacy she needed and it had its own fence around it with a security guard.

Both of them highlighted from his car and he took her inside.

"Surprise. Your own house. It is used to be one of my secret hideouts when I was younger. Mum built it so that I could escape my dad's wrath whenever I wanted to if she was not around."

"Oh, was your dad always like that?"

Li Jing found herself asking. He looked like the child that had it all but even the rich also cried and she was aware of the fact that they did.

"Not really. He started becoming like that when mum pulled away and I loved being with my mother, so that had also gotten him angry. So whenever mother travelled and I was left at home and he wanted to take his frustration out on someone that she left, he would usually scold me for any little error committed."

"Oh!" Li Jing thought she had it bad because she was an illegitimate daughter or because she was adopted, not knowing that Ye Cheng had it worst.

"I am sorry."

"Do not be. I didn't use it as much because anytime I did, it would only irk father more, so I stopped after some time and mother stopped returning when I gained admission to study overseas."

"I see."

"So from now on, you are free to use it as yours. I also decided that it would be better if you stayed here as your previous location has already been known and it would be quite easy to attack you next time."

"Next time! Do you plan on making my being a target, a habit?" Li Jing asked him.

"Of course not. I still have an enemy on the loose. Mr Zhang is still out there to get me and make my business drop sporadically. I cannot afford to think of your security first. Left to me, I would have preferred it if you stayed at my place, then I can guarantee your safety better."

"It is okay. You worry much. I would be fine, I promise."

"Okay, if you say so. So which do you prefer? Here or your condo unit?"

"I think here would be better. I pick this place, please."

"I knew you would."

"What?"

"You like your privacy a lot."

"Don't we all?"

"No, yours is a different case. Anyways, you do not have to worry about packing your things. I had my maids move them here after the accident the other day."

"You really have things planned out and well thought, don't you?"

"You would find that I can be very resourceful."

"Hahha hahaha…" Li Jing let out a peal of a hearty laugh at his words.

He really was something else and it was one of the reasons she liked him. He had a way of taking care of things.

Ye Cheng smiled at her. His heart felt light and happy now that she was laughing and no longer angry at the incident of before.

His mind went back to the previous day and the look of pain in her eyes when she saw him on top of Ru Mei Xing and he closed his eyes briefly.

Li Jing had noticed it even though he quickly changed his expression and wore his normal unconcerned look, she knew something was eating him up.

"What's the matter?"

"It is nothing," Ye Cheng said while shaking his head. "I am just happy that you have forgiven me."

Li Jing lowered her head. She did not want to look at him now because her mind had started playing pranks on her and she was imagining the last time they kissed.

'Naughty Li Jing. Stop having those kinds of thoughts if you want to stay friends with him,' she cautioned herself.

Come, let me show you around."

~Bai Residence~

Meanwhile, Bai Qing Mei had also received Ye Cheng's wrath for the nuisance she caused. Ye Cheng and sent a lawsuit to her to pay for damages after some of the rioters confessed that she was the mastermind behind the whole thing.

"No!" Bai Qing Mei yelled after reading the lawsuit to herself. "What nonsense is the meaning of this? How can Ye Cheng demand such things from me as compensation?"

"I am sorry ma, it is either you accept it or he would sue your grandfather's company."

"What do you mean by that? What has my grandfather's company got to do with all these? Bai Qing Mei asked the lawyer that came to deliver Ye Cheng's terms and condition.

"He mentioned he still has the voice recordings of your confession and he could send them to the police and you would have to be jailed for conspiring in a murder attempt."

"How dare he?"

"Bai Qing Meri calm down. I warned you about this before. I told you to let him be but no, you just had to want to ruin his happiness. No matter how you want to look at it, Ye Cheng still has a trump card against us."

"Then we just have to make sure we get hold of every copy," Hao Huizhong.

"And how do you propose to do that? You had better not be thinking of seducing him. You know Ye Cheng better than that, he would not fall for that. Face it, we lost this time."

"Arggh! Stop saying that. I hate to lose."

"Ma'am, listen to what Sir Hao has to say. This time he would win if things get to court. You would have to pay up all he asks for," the lawyer advised her.

"I will not give in to him easily. I need to put a call through to grandfather. He would have something to use against him. Just you wait and see."

"Bai Qing Mei," Hao Huizhong called her name softly. She was becoming another thing just because of Ye Cheng. It was like she was getting obsessed with him already.

"Not now, Huizhong. I do not want to hear it. Mr Bingwen, I would get back to you. You may go now."

"Yes ma'am. Have a lovely day, sir." He picked his briefcase and walked out of the living room.
