Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

*************

CHAPTER 630

Li An raised both hands up bringing them to her head as she used her fingers to brush through her hair.

The news she just heard was not something to smile about.

She knew he always had flings but never did she think things would get to this point seeing as he had been careful all along."

"Hmm."

"I am really sorry, Li An. I know what I did was uncalled for and you do not need to forgive me but believe me, I did not know. I never knew who she was and I fell into his trap."

She let out another deep sigh, lifting her head. At the same time, her gaze met with Ye Cheng's and she could see the sorrowful look in his eyes.

He wasn't sad because the man before them was his father. No, he was sad because she had to hear such an annoying tale from his mouth.

It was way beyond what she could control. She never wanted Ye Cheng to find out things like that. It broke him.

She was lucky he wasn't a child who got depressed because of a situation like that although it almost happened especially when she left he pulled through.

She did not know his strength but whoever it was, she was entirely grateful for that. On the other hand, Ye Cheng had it rough growing up, after Sying and her mother disappeared. He always felt he would wake up and he would meet the girl he always liked but as time went on, things began to change and reality dawned on him.

He did not see her and even worse, his mother was losing herself so much to her investigation and obsession.

It began to take a huge toll on his father and then, he started keeping late nights, hanging out with other ladies hiding behind the cover of business. Soon Li An could not take it and she filed for a divorce.

He was broken. His family was supposed to be his support but when he needed them most they weren't there.

Rather he picked up strength from his mother and for his mother as well as from Sying. Her cheerful happy face always gave him the needed will to carry on.

He knew one day he would see her and that lovely smile of hers and have enough time to be with her, so he carried on, wishing and hoping.

He hated seeing his mother hurt and now that the frustration was reaching up to him, he could only resign himself to what lay ahead.

"Mother."

"Shh, it is not your fault. You do not have to say anything, Cheng."

He tightened his lips into a thin line and nodded his head at her. It was between his parents, he was going to allow them to settle it but be reasonable about things.

"Ye Sheng."

"Yes, Li An?"

"What do you want me to do with you? Because scolding you would do us n good. It doesn't state how we would get back the money taken, so I am open for options."

"Cover-up for me and I would look for ways to get back the money."

"And how do you propose to do that? If you could get the money, wouldn't you have given it to chairman Zhang rather than stealing it?" This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"I had to do what I could to prevent the collapse of the company and loss of everything we have worked hard for."

"No. All of your actions until now, had been to ruin this company. Ou already ruined her image as the chairman, so it is not like you have not started. You have but everyone kept quiet considering we still own the company."

'And they would again," Ye Sheng tried to reason. "All Cheng has to do is shut them up whenever they want to speak up and evade it, then over time I source it out get it back."

"No. I am sorry, Ye Sheng," she straightened her back and gazed into her ex-husband's eyes. "Not an option."

If she wasn't willing to accept his idea, then there was nothing more he could do. He couldn't get Chairman Zhang to get the money back nor could he get him not to agree to leak it out if he refunded as well.

"Then what would you have me do?"

"I am sorry it came to this, Ye Sheng but at this point, you would have to take an early retirement from being Chairman and resign."

'What?"

"You heard me well. You would have no choice but to resign. This si the one best solution we can work with."

His blood boiled within him as he glared at her. He could not believe she would suggest this.

"I should have known. This was a conspiracy," he roared out.

"What?"

He moved around his table coming to a stop in front of Li An as he stared deeply into her eyes.

"Do not play dumb with me. First, Ye Cheng comes here bringing the same idea and now you. Hmm tell me, did Chairman Zhang put you two up for this, huh? To get rid of me and make him the Chairman? Tell me!"

"Ye Sheng!"

"What? I would not fall for your schemes. I would not resign from the company. No one would take away my position as Chairman. I would fix my mess. Let them come to me. I would not speak to anyone. I do not owe anybody any fucked up explanation. This is my company. My..."

POW!

A hot slap resounded on his face with Li An's hand raised just below his chin.

"And you would be the doom of it too," Li An added after cutting in with a slap. "Did your stupid idea ring that in your brain too?"

There was no answer, rather his chest rose and fell with great gusto as he stared daring at his wife even though he was pissed off by her slap.

"Tell me, Ye Sheng? Did your stupid brain or useless sleeping around dick tell you that you would be the end of your company? Hmm?'

She turned to her side where Ye Cheng stood and pointed at him. "Right now the company belongs to your son, Ye Cheng as he holds more shares. If it is brought down to the board of directors, do you think they would support you?"

Ye Sheng could not answer. Not because he could not fathom it but because she was unbelievably right.

"Of course not. They would all readily vote for him to be the Chairman and you to step down. He did not take this company from the top four under your name and made it the very first company in the country for nothing. He has all it takes and you would not take that from him. You won't ruin his hard work."

"Mother, please."

This really had gone out of hand and it was bringing back old memories he wished would remain dead.

"No. I need to speak sense into his clouded, misguided brain. Drea Star Corporation is not your company alone. I have rights too and I would fight it with you down to the last. Step down on your own before I make this into an all-out war."

"What?"
