CHAPTER 822

Every bit of Li Jing"s confidence withered away as the one thing she held onto was broken before her very eyes. "Face the truth. I know it hurts. You were abandoned," Li Chun stated with conviction.

Li Jing shook her head, denying his claims. "I wasn"t. I never was." Li Chun dissed her claims with a shake of his head. "You can say or think what you want. Had my parents not been in that accident I…"

"I should have expected the whole ruckus to be caused by this dog when I heard screaming." Li Jing grimaced at the terrible voice of the stupid woman she grew up with.

Her rude interruption wasn"t one Li Jing planned on letting go. Since she wanted to repeat all that transpired before, she"d be more than happy to have her speak to her palm.

Her once-fallen brows had perked up again at the sound of Ding Jiaying and Li Xiu walking in on them.

"Mum! Mommy!" Li Jing raised her eyes, her gaze following Ding Jiaying, who stood only a few feet away from the door. Her hair was tousled behind her shoulders, leaving a few strands to fall on her face. She wore a loose white collared shirt and an ankle-length purple skirt.

Rushing in from the door, Li Xiu pushed her head on our, waiting first to see what the ruckus was about before joining in.

She swept a glance at the room, her gaze falling on Li Jing close to her father. "Tsk, mum," she enunciated, closing the gap between them, "what did this b.i.t.c.h do to you and father?"

"Unfortunately, nothing," Li Jing voiced in a rather sarcastic tone. "Had I made your mother cry, I would have been happy."

"You b.i.t.c.h!"

"Ah-an… I wouldn"t do that if I were you." Li Jing shook her head, waving her index finger in their face. "You do not want to be the b.i.t.c.h you are calling everyone, now or wait," she placed her finger on her chin, her eyes trailing off thoughtfully, "you already were."

Her eyes lit up with mischief. Her father may have hurt her, but there was no way she"d sit back and let the two b*tches do the same. 10:24

"Why you!"

"Li Xiu! Have some self-respect!" Li Chuin hollered. "And you, Li Jing, may please leave. I have nothing more to say to you."

She scoffed, eyeing the mother-and-daughter duo. "We"re not done here, father. Rest a.s.sured, I will be back."

Turning on her heels, Li Jing catwalked out of there, ignoring the sneers being shot her way. Li Xiu and Ding Jiaying waited till they were sure Li Jing was long gone before turning their attention to Li Chun. Placing a hand on her waist, she glared at her husband. "And what is the meaning of this? Why did you let that b.i.t.c.h in here?"

Unknown to them, Li Chun was already having a hard time breathing. His last yell had left his heart aching, and yet these two were planning on giving him a hard time as though he hadn"t suffered enough. "Answer me. What was she here for?!" Unable to handle their lack of respect, he glared back at her. "Know your place, woman, or I will be forced to remind you of it."

"Huh?" she scoffed, placing her hand on her chest and looking around dramatically as though she had an audience watching them. Li Xiu was angry at her father for even speaking to Li Jing; however, she could tell a big fight was about to happen between her parents. "You want to remind me, huh, Li Chun?"

"I am sure I did not stutter; neither are your ears deaf," Li Chun spat out bitterly. He was tired. So d.a.m.n tired of their useless a.s.ses. "I dare you to say those words to me one more time," Ding Jiaying challenged. "Only if you admit to being deaf. If not, shut your mouth and let me be in peace."

"I won"t. Either you answer me and tell me what that tramp you picked up wants or else I will..."

"GET OUT!"

His patience had reached its limit. And as he yelled, his heartbeat increased. Li Chun, who had not expected things to go downhill, gripped his chest so hard that he fought to breathe as he groaned. "Aaahhh!"

Ding Jiaying was stunned when he yelled. It took her only two seconds to recover, getting ready to react when she saw him falter, his health failing him. "Oh G.o.d!" Li Xiu hollered as she rushed to her father"s side. She did not think things would go this bad. "Mm, hurry, call the nurses." "I…" Ding Jiaying remained speechless. She was frozen in place for another few seconds until her daughter screamed her name, forcing her to scurry off in search of a nurse. "Father, hold on, please. Please, hold on. Help!"

Within two more minutes, she had already helped him into a lying position as the sound of hurrying footsteps came right through the door. "Nurse, please save him," Li Xiu immediately pleaded to the nurse. *******

On the other hand, once Li Jing was out of the hospital, she waited in her car for a few minutes before she started driving. In addition to visiting the hospital for her past, she also had another agenda. Placing a small recording device at the side of the drawer when she stood beside her father, Li Jing had hoped to listen to their conversation and see if her father would indeed spill the truth once she left.

She had waited, hoping to get something tangible, but instead, those two ended up causing more problems. Right before her departure, she transferred some money to the nurse she had called earlier, asking her to send her father"s bills to her later. Even if she planned on ensuring his recovery, Li Jing had no plans of staying to be accused by his wife. "Since he is proving to be a dead end, I might as well create an opening for myself. He must slip and I will find you, mother."
