CEO Vengeful Wife

Chapter 106 - Innocent smile

Lang Lan didn't know what to do. Heng Huang would never be fine with the bullying of Heng Bingwen. After all, he was his eldest son. "The situation is really not what it is like. My husband has invested a lot in your company. On account of that, how about you give me a chance to explain myself?" She very gratingly approached Jing Lihua. But nothing could make Jing Lihua loosen the cold expressions on her face. "This woman intended to harm my son. I'm a mother and I just couldn't sit and do nothing while someone threatened my son."

Jing Lihua tilted her head as if thinking. "Did she?" With a smile, she asked.

"Yes, you have no idea. She sent hooligans to beat up my son. My husband asked me to make her stop. I was just following my husband's wishes. Jing Lihua, let's not make a big fuss about it, okay?" For some reason, her smile chilled her more.

"Do not call me so casually with my name. We are not this close. Besides, I'm not a petty person. I'll not make a fuss about it." Jing Lihua kept a smile on. To see how much she cared about her reputation, it was amusing. "If you kneel down and ask for forgiveness from Auntie Xu, I'll forget about it completely and never mention it to anyone."

Lang Lan felt cold from embarrassment and fear. She called her 'Auntie'? They were so close?

Jing Lihua laughed at her expressions. She felt Xu BaoZhai grabbing her hand. Jing Lihua looked at her in confusion. Xu BaoZhai shook her head with uncertainty in her eyes.

"Are you scared about Heng Bingwen's safety? When I took you and him in I promised I would keep you two safe. You do not need to lower yourself to these people as long as I'm here." Jing Lihua squeezed her hand to reassure her.

Jing Lihua faced Lang Lan and her smile disappeared. "Are you kneeling or not?"

"Jing Lihua you are being petty. Have I ever offended you before? She is just a commoner. You want me to kneel to her?" Lang Lan fumed.

"What are you implying?" Jing Lihua yawned and found herself a spot on the couch to be comfortable. Her nonchalant actions unnerved Lang Lan.

"You are using her as an excuse just to humiliate me. I don't see any other reason for you to stand up for her. You had my husband resigned from his place. Are you doing this to get back at him? By using her."

"Enough with your blabbering. Kneel or suffer the consequences."

Lang Lan had never been humiliated this much before. "What would you do?"

Jing Lihua took out the recording and flashed her phone. "I'll have this posted on social media."

Lang Lan was horrified for a moment. But she recovered soon. "You are very stupid. If you had the means to threaten me, you should have kept it a secret."

"Are you thinking about having these scoundrels break my equipment? Sorry to disappoint you, I have already put the video on the internet and set the timer. Unless you know the passwords, that only I know, you can't access the video and delete before it is uploaded. So breaking my phone won't be any use." Jing Lihua was always one step ahead.

Lang Lan was speechless. She had heard rumors of how cunning this woman was. But she couldn't have guessed.

"Now kneel and beg for the apology. Unless I'll have the video released." Jing Liha was in a nice mood. She recalled in her last life that Lang Lan used to bully Xu Baozhai. At that time, Jing Lihua couldn't do much.

Lang Lan's face was red with anger. But she had no choice. She fell on her knees in front of Xu Baozhai and asked for forgiveness obediently. It looked like it took her everything to do so.

"You remind me of someone I had on the knees yesterday." Jing Lihua laughed. "Who was it? Og, yes. Wu Ying. She must have been rotting on the streets by now if she is alive that is."

Lang Lan shuddered and momentarily forgot her anger. What kind of Devil this Jing Lihua was? To say something so ruthless so casually.

"Auntie Xu, I didn't have dinner yet. How about we leave her kneeling here for some time while we go and cook your dumpling soup? All that time in Hong Kong, I have been carving your soup." Jing Lihua smiled like a sweet innocent girl. As if she was a cheeky child asking for candy.

"Why not Xiao Jing? Let me check if we have all the ingredients." Xu Baozhai couldn't say no to such a sweet request. "And you three, get out of my house. I don't like crowds." The three men left after getting Lang Lan's approval.

Lang Lan felt like dying. How could that Jing Lihua smile so innocently when you had just said all those cruel things? And that Xu BaoZhai didn't even question her anything? What kind of crazy people they were?

Auntie Xu started to make the soup, doing her best to make it extra delicious for Jing Lihua paying attention to every detail. While Jing Lihua helped her with cutting the ingredients. She didn't dare to touch any spice or anything leaving the real thing to Auntie Xu Bazhai. She didn't want to ruin the precious soup. Her cooking was horrible.

Both of them privately decided to make the cooking as slow as possible to have Lang Lan suffer longer by kneeling. Outside Lang Lan was already on the verge of the tears. "Why are they taking so long? It doesn't take this long to cook a soup!" Her knees were hurting. She didn't dare to call out to them in fear of provoking that crazy woman.

"Auntie, how're your things going at the shop? I wanted to give it a visit to see if it needed some renovation. But I have been too busy with all the office and work. I heard from Heng Bingwen that you are also planning to open an orphanage?" Jing Lihua casually asked.

"I wish it was that simple." Xu Baozhai sighed in desolation.

"Why? What happened?"
