Chapter 144 Breakdown and anger
Liam blushed when he heard her.
"No-I-I…"
Ying Sheng chuckled, "Relax I'm just joking."
Liam nodded and focused on his food ignoring her.
"I don't know but I would stay here for a while."
Liam looked up at her and frowned slightly. He didn't want her to live alone, not when she was in a bad mood. He knew Ying Sheng's mental health was pretty bad and if he left her alone he was afraid something bad would happen.
"I was thinking...since I live alone. Do you want to live with me? As roommates. My apartment is big and if you're not comfortable you can pay rent."
Liam rambled nervously.
"Alright.". Ying Sheng agreed.
Liam widened his eyes and a smile spilled from his lips.
"Then-"
The sound of the door bell ringing interrupted him. Liam raised his brows. He didn't order room service so who could it be?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Did you order room service?" Ying Sheng shook her head.
"Alright I will check who is at the door."
Liam said as he strode towards the door. He looked at the peephole but the person was wearing a black suit and his back was facing him.
The moment Liam opened the door, the person turned around.
"How may I help-"
Liam's words were cut off when he heard a cackle and then with a flash of pain he stumbled back bewildered.
The man stood above him, panting, his hand still curled in a fist."
He grabbed the neck of Liam's shirt aggressively, "Where is she?"
Liam finally recognized the man. After all he was on the front page of every business magazine and newspaper.
"Liam? Who is there?" Ying Sheng's voice sounded, making the man release Liam. He rushed in the room and saw Ying Sheng.
"Ying Sheng are you okay? Did that man do anything to you?"
Ying Sheng widened her eyes in surprise, "Dad?"
She narrowed her eyes and strode towards Liam. He was clutching his stomach in pain.
"Liam are you okay?" Liam groaned and nodded.
He had to admit the man's punch was really painful!
"What are you doing here dad? Why did you hit him?"
Mr. Ying looked at his daughter and sighed.
" I woke up and saw a bank alert that you're spending money in a hotel. Why are you in a hotel? Don't tell me you're sleeping around with this…"
"So what if I am sleeping around with him! Why do you care huh?"
"Of course I care, you're my daughter. I rushed her the moment I got down from the plane. I won't let any boy ruin your life!"
Ying Sheng chuckled at her father's words. "My life is already ruined. Ain't no boy who is going to ruin it. You and that witch have done enough damage."
Mr. Ying froze at her words. "Why are you calling your mother a witch?"
Ying Sheng crossed her arms around her chest. "Mother? When was she ever a mother to me?!" Ying Sheng bellowed angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Ying asked softly.
"Both of you are never around. She doesn't even know when I had my period. When I was nearly killed by some thugs both of you didn't even realize I was missing for days because your business is what matters not me. I have never been anyone's priority! Never!"
Mr. Ying opened his mouth and closed it again.
"So what if I'm sleeping around? What if I'm doing drugs or tattooes? Why do you care?! You never cared about me. To you and that witch I'm just a disgrace to your name. Now you're here pretending that you care about me."
Ying Sheng said with tears in her eyes. She was angry, angry at herself. She snapped the tears trying to escape and she quickly looked at the ceilings pushing them back. She was done crying.
Ying Sheng was tired of everything around her and she didn't want to cry anymore. The heartache she felt was indescribable.
Mr.Ying took a step closer to her but Ying Sheng stepped back and bolted out of the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr.Ying just stood there awkwardly, this is the first time that she has told him how she really feels and as a father he didn't even know how to react.
Liam looked at Mr.Ying and sighed, "She really needs her parents love and attention. Do you know how I met her? She was trying to commit suicide that night. She walked in the middle of the street, fortunately I was able to stop my car a few feet from her."
Mr. Ying felt like he had been struck by lightning. He looked up at Liam.
"W-what are you talking about?" Mr. Ying asked with fear evident in his voice.
Liam continued ignoring his question
"When she woke up, she screamed out in pain.
Why didn't you hit me with the car? Why did you save me? I was finally ready- she had demanded angrily." historical
"It's the first time I have seen someone begging to be killed." Liam chuckled humorlessly.
Mr. Ying fingers trembled when he heard Liam. He never thought his daughter was going through so much.
"I don't care if you have a business to run but remember you might lose your daughter in the process. Also, tell your wife this is the last time she would raise her hands on her or I would leak it to the media. Child abuse is quite a sensitive topic."
Liam said as he left Mr. Ying alone in the room and strode towards the bedroom where Ying Sheng had run to.
Mr. Ying stood in the living room as Liam's words echoed in his head. His daughter...Ying Sheng she tried to kill herself.
Why? She never showed any signs of being suicidal. He thought as long as he gave her enough money she would be okay.
Did he ruin his daughter? Suddenly he remembered what Liam had said.
Su Cha hit her? But why? He knew about their arguments but he never paid attention because he thought it was normal.
"Sir, are you okay?" His secretary who was waiting at the door asked snapping him out of his stupor.
"Hmm. Let's go home. Also, send someone to keep an eye on the young miss."
The secretary nodded. "Yes, sir."
