CHAPTER 309

Meanwhile, the next day came, but Ye Cheng still did not pick her call.

Li Jing who had planned to go and visit him could not just undertake her journey like that.

She believed that no matter how busy you are and you see a missed call, you should call back especially if it was someone who meant a lot to you.

So when Ye Cheng wasn"t answering his phone, she decided against going to meet him and just remained in doors on Valentine"s day.

As usual, her auntie, Lin Huilang wasn"t happy about the whole issue and that had further fueled her desire to push Li Jing and Tang Zixin together but her niece made it clear to her that she only liked Tang Zixin as a friend and nothing more.

Left with no other choice, Lin Huilang left Li Jing to her fate and wished that she found love as much or even more than she gave.

Days went on like every normal day.

While Li Jing battled with some office issues and tried to keep the company in good shape, she had no idea that there was a snitch who fed her aunties with all of her activities.

Unknown to her, the Lin ladies were not still pleased and were plotting on how to make her look bad in presence of her grandfather.

On the other hand, even though she did not know who the snitch was, they failed by underestimating her.

She got to work one morning and the first thing on her desk was Kim Group filing a law suit against her for selling the project to another firm.

"What! What is the meaning of this?" Li Jing asked in anger, showing the file to her a.s.sistant.

"I am sorry ma."

"Save the sorry for someone else. Who brought this to my desk?" Li Jing was stern in her asking. She had long been waiting for people to make their next move against her, but when it came…

"I did ma," her a.s.sistant replied in fear.

"From whom?" The look in her eyes told her she would not condole this nonsense like the last time.

"It was sent to my desk, and addressed to you, so I took it amongst the other files and brought it to your desk, this morning," Deng Meili informed her.

"What?"

"Li Jing calm down, please." Yin Lifen tried to calm her friend down. She could understand why she was like this.

Honestly, she herself was already getting tired of the whole thing. It wasn"t like this was the first time they were doing this to Li Jing to threaten her and make her look bad but until when would people learn that there was no peace for the wicked.

"How can I calm down, Yin Lifen? Don"t you know the implication of this?"

"I do know the implication. Right now, you are a major public figure and considering that your grandfather kept the company in your hands, this would not look good on you."

"Even worse, Yin Lifen."

Li Jing slammed the file on the desk and sat down on her chair in anger, scaring the life outr of her personal a.s.sistant, Deng Meili.

"Li Jing calm down, please. But the first time such a thing occurred, who was responsible for the act?" Yin Lifen asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"My sister was the master mind the last time such a thing happened to me."

"That sneaky Li Xiu. She really deserves so much karma coming to her."

Li Jing snickered to herself before looking at Deng Meili. "Well, I found out well enough…"

She was about speaking then paused. Right now she could not trust just anyone around her. It wasn"t even up to two months since her last issue and now, more?

"Leave us, Deng Meili," Li Jing ordered.

"Yes ma."

Immediately she left, Li Jing sighed and took a seat gesturing for her friend to do the same.

"Go on, speak freely."

"Then even Ye Cheng was about believing in the situation before he calmed down so I already know how it feels for someone to be disappointed in you that I hate for such doubt to repeat itself."

"I understand. It would Li Xiu come and do such a thing to you now that you are in your father"s company?" Yin Lifen questioned thoughtfully.

"Yes she can." As she s[poke, she looked at the door briefly before moving forward in her chair so she could whisper to her friend. "No she cannot. I haven"t heart or seen Li Xiu since I left home. She doesn"t and wouldn"t have access to this company."

"Yes but what if she did not do it by herself and had internal help?" Yin Lifen reasoned.

"As true as that maybe that my sister would do that because she hates me, Li Xiu hasn"t grown much wings to do it. Rather I think it is someone else."

"Really? Who?"

"Yin Lifen, I may sound skeptical and all but I do not trust most people in this company and that is because my family members have direct link as shareholders in this company."

"Okay, so you think one of them might be responsible for this?" Yin Lifen asked.

"Who else but them, Yin Lifen?" Li Jing sighed and then rubbed her temples with her fingers.

"Ever since grandfather introduced me to the family and we had that introduction party, it has been nothing but bad vibes I have been getting from all of them," Li Jing explained.

"Okay. I understand."

"I would not be surprised if they were the ones that did it though," Li Jing stated harmlessly.

"You have anyone in mind in particular?"

"Oh yes I do. They actually brought themselves out on their own and made my work cut out for me. The only problem would be I have no proof for now."

"Simple, we either make proof or find an existing one."

"That won"t be hard. We can start by checking al the CCTV footage from today till after we went for the survey feasibility study."

"Deal."
