CHAPTER 22

At the mention of Ye Cheng's name, both Ye Cheng and Yin Lifen's eyes popped open. Yin Lifen on the other hand suddenly became quite interested and forgot what she was begging her friend for.

"What is it? Tell me. I like shady and dangerous." She asked eagerly.

Li Jing rolled her eyes at her friend's remark. Yin Lifen would never cease to amaze her with her speculations of her Mr. Right.

"Okay. I find it unreasonable, though," she started and her eyes darted back to the television screen, then continued. "Seeing as they would invest in a business with a low-interest rate. "

Li Jing who had a master major in finance and was exceptionally good in her field could easily spot the problem without further digging into the matter.

"Like it is as though the deal is screaming you would lose more than you could possibly gain, so why still venture into it?"

"I do not know, perhaps they know what they are doing. Leave it to my finance major, Li Jing. You analyzed his company's loss and gain just from a look at the screen," Yin Lifen praised her.

"Don't flatter me. It is concerning though. Alright, I have to go now, see you at school tomorrow."

No matter how well she aced whatever she was doing, she never got the credit for it. Rather, it was her sister, Li Xiu that took all the glory.

Normally with her kind of intelligence and skill, her father's company should have been doing so very well in the country, but since all her ideas had to pass through Li Xiu, she made modifications and did business with the Duan Group.

Rather than her father's company to do well, it was slowly dying out because her sister's lack of experience and was not suited for the job, thus making him seek for more investors, year in year out in different cities and countries.

To make matters worse, with Ding Jiaying pushing Li Xiu, everyone always thought Li Xiu was the brilliant one while she, Li Jing was the dull head with little or no contribution to the family's business and it was already considered favored being in her position as Li Xiu's assistant.

Little did they know that she was the brain behind the operation and business group. So, Li Jing wasn't used to flattering and would reject it whenever anyone praised her.

Li Jing dropped her phone down on the couch where she was seated and didn't see Ye Cheng who was approaching at her back.

"Do you have a laptop I can borrow, please?" His deep and cool voice came from behind her, making her jolt on her seat and ended up spilling her food on her body.

"Ahh!" Li Jing shrieked in shock the moment she saw his silhouette towering over her from behind.

Rather than feel bad for scaring her like that, his cold eyes stared at her as though he did nothing wrong.

"Oh my, goodness!" Li Jing said, whipping her head around to see him. His brows creased a little, showing his impatience but as quickly as it came, it vanished, making her wonder if she saw that look. Other than that, there was no form of emotion on his face.

"Do you?" His cold soothing voice rang in her ears again. Li Jing didn't know how to react or what to say. She never expected for him to scare her like that and right now how brain wasn't functioning well as her racing heart still haven't calmed down from the shock, he gave her.

"Um… Uh… I–I…" She swallowed hard, unable to form any coherent words as she was lost, seeming not to have heard what he asked her for.

"Do you own a laptop?" He asked again, helping her out of her sorry state.

"Y–Yeah–h…Ahem, yes." She managed to reply, stammering away her nervousness.

Looking at her, he noticed her hands slightly trembled, an after math of her shock just now. Ye Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering if this was how she always behaved over everything and was it that she was just too fragile or it was an act?

But the innocent look in her eyes, didn't look like someone who was faking. Her eyes were so clear and pure, looking like an untainted soul.

She turned her head back and gently picked up what was left of her food that threw away on her body, dusting her clothes and the couch of what crumbs remained before slowly getting up.

"I would get it for you. Have you eaten?" she asked, turning her head in his direction.

Ye Chen simply nodded at her without saying a word more. With that, she went to drop the plate in the kitchen and headed to the other smaller room to get her laptop.

Ever since he came, she moved her other things into the next room to give him some privacy. Within a minute, she was back with her laptop and handed it over to him.

"Password?" he asked, arching a brow at her.

"Li Jing all caps, no space." She replied him simply, not stopping to ask one bit, what he needed for.

"Won't you ask what I need it for?" Ye Cheng had to ask. Just like that she gave him her system, even when she didn't know what his intentions were.

Was she being too trusting or was just naive and stupid or like she said, she didn't like prying into people's affairs?

"No. You are in need and I can help." That was her only reply as the next moment, she flashed him her charming untainted smile.

"You are not scared I would use it for something bad?" He asked, he lifted his chin up a bit as he carefully accessed her to see any hint of fear or distrust, but go nothing.

"Like I said…"

"I know what you said. What if?" Ye Cheng questioned her for the how many nth times that evening.

"Since you know, then accept it."

"Thanks. You can be rest assured, I would get out of your air soon," he said and turned to leave, then stopped." Oh, and sorry about earlier."

Li Jing nodded and he left, not uttering another word more.
