CHAPTER 375

"So if you want me so bad due to my rage, okay but why not go get Li Jing yourself? The way it feels, it is as though, you are exploiting my rage and anger for her so as to do the work and you sit down and watch."

"Bingo."

Li Xiu did not understand what he was bingo-ing about when she just stated that they wanted to use her. Her confusion and shock were still evident on her face when Hao Huizhong continued to speak.

"Let me put it this way for you, Miss Li. Because your hatred runs deep for her, no one would want her downfall more than you do. We are helping you get that revenge while we also benefit from it and yes we may be exploiting you but…"

He did not get to finish his explanation when Li Xiu cut in again. She was no longer confused or shocked. She understood where he was going to but she did not bother. So long as she got her own terms in place then it would be a win-win for everyone.

"I am in. You better pay me well and let me do things on my own."

Hao Huizhong blinked twice. He was a bit stunned at her quick response. He had expected for her to give him some issues and he was ready and prepared to tackle them but here he was today, none of that in play.

"Hmm, what things do you want to do on your own?" Hao Huizhoing was forced to ask her.

"A lot. First I want to embarra.s.s that Li Jing so she knows not to ever cross me again."

"Noted, what else?"

"And of course I would need money so that I do not need to look like a riff-raff in her presence considering she is now married to Ye Cheng and thirdly, I want…" Li Xiu paused, she did not know if it was wise enough to say the third out loud considering she did not know who the boss he was reporting to was.

"Huh, what is the third wish? Tell me so I can note them all down once," Hao Huizhong probed her.

"Thirdly, I want Ye Cheng for myself but I do not know if I should trust you in saying that considering you wanted to use me just now. Hmm, I would keep this one to me." Li Xiu thought it wise not to spill all her conditions out loud.

"There is no third. I am okay with the first two. Get me the money and every other thing. Fund if need be whatever thing you have in mind for her. That is all."

"Fine, I would relay all of your messages to the one I work for and we would create a meeting for you two so that you can be properly talked to on what you need to do."

"Alright."

"Great. Now I must be on my way, Miss Li. It was nice doing business with you."

"You two. I look forward to hearing from you."

"Likewise." They shook hands and without any more exchange of words, Hao Huizhong stood up and took his leave after paying for their meal.

"Bingo, Li Jing, now I have a way to get back at you. Just you wait, you would fall from the top very, very soon. Haha, I cannot wait to tell mother all about this." Li Xiu"s smile widened, revealing the wicked intent in her heart.

***

Rushing home, Li Xiu wasted no time in searching out her mother to give her the good news. It felt so great knowing that Li Jing would soon be dancing to the tune of her downfall.

But upon entering the house, the person Li Xiu came face to face with was none other than…

"Duan Tian? What are you doing here?" She was surprised to see him there, notwithstanding she had other better things to do and it had been long.

"Li Xiu." He stood up from his seat and made his way to her. She did not say anything and waited for him to get close to her first before pulling back. "Li Xiu, it is me, Duan Tian your love."

"Tsk, love? Love you say? Where is your mother, she is your love and not mine. Or have you forgotten how you left me? Duan Tian it has been months since we last saw or spoke, did you not think about your love all through those times?"

"I did."

"I doubt that, Duan Tian. I sincerely doubt it. You of all people know how much I cared about you but you disappeared and suddenly you show up uttering that word from your mouth."

"Li Xiu, do not be angry at me, please. I love you, earnestly. I was just too busy."

"Too busy for me huh?" Shew was angry alright but that did not matter to her anymore. All she wanted was for him to leave her alone. He was already so last season where she was.

"Li Xiu, hear me out first before you judge me. I did not want to lose you and my family wanted us to not see any more or I would lose my inheritance and meanwhile I still needed to bring myself and my family business back up and for that, I needed to travel to get us back on track or I lose everything. Would you have wanted me if I lost it all?"

He had a point there but was she really interested anymore? That should be what he should be bothering about now.

"Does it matter now? You managed to get your family"s business back on track while mine still remains in the dust and secondly, while you were pursuing that, a call would have been nice to explain this to me but no you did not think of that and now, the love you left behind has gone without you."

"Li Xiu, please." He closed the gap between them, attempting to kneel but she wasn"t bothered about that anymore.

"Get up and do not embarra.s.s yourself anymore. There is nothing to apologize for. I do not want you anymore."

"Xiu darling It is I. You cannot let go of your love for me so easily."

"Huh, check again, I can and I will. You cannot abandon me like some old book and come pick me back up when you are done with the new ones you bought. Since I am so last season, let me stay that way."

"No one said you were dear. I am yours." He moved closer to her but this time Li Xiu did not shift backward and stood her ground with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Liu Xiu baby, I missed you so much. I needed to hurry back to see you the moment I managed to get some people willing to invest in the business again. At least you have your father willing to fix the company, for mine, my family left it for me to handle by myself and I can not do that on my own. Please do understand me."

"I do understand you but you do not understand me. I am tired of your family treating me like I am their bad omen."

"II sam so sorry and I have fixed that. No one would dare to talk to you in such a manner again. Just be my baby once more. See, your baby misses you."

He lowered his gaze to his crotch Li Xiu had followed his line of sight to see what he was saying and oh what a shock she had when she saw how erect he was down there. "I have missed you so much, honey. I ached deep inside to plunge your honey pot with him but I needed to wait."

Her mouth still hung agape at the huge thing between his legs. It was no wonder he was back to her. He just could not find any girl to handle him as she could.

"Tsk, so what does he think I am? A s.e.x relieving mechanism or what?" Li Xiu thought to herself. "Just look at how erect he is down there. Sigh, this Duan Tian musty have been having lewd thoughts about me no doubt. How come I did not see all of this when I walked in the first time? I guess I was just carried away, no doubt."

"Li Xiu baby. Please forgive me. Haven"t you missed me enough too?" Duan Tian questioned her and raised his hand to caress her face and shoulder.

"I…" She was tempted to say no but in actual truth she missed him. Even after he left and she was lonely and h.o.r.n.y, she did not see any man that could satisfy her or know how to use his tool well, which had further added to her frustration.

"Come, touch him, you know you want to," Duan Tian probed her some more while bringing their bodies close to each other that she could feel the heat emanating from him.
