Chapter 679: Li Jing’s Visit.

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

CHAPTER 678

She paved the way for Li Jing and waited for her to go in before directing her further. “Young Mrs, this is your home, please feel free to walk in.”

“Sure.” Her actions had indeed changed. Turning her head a bit, Li Jing asked, “Please where is my father?”

“Right in the living room, young miss.”

“Got it, thanks.”

She did not bother to look at the girl again before she made her way straight for the living room as she and been instructed.

.....

On getting there, she met Li Chun watching the news with crossed legs and a newspaper at his side. She did not move nor go to him. Rather she waited, examined the house as memories started looking back in.

It was in this very living room she grew up in. It was in this house her earliest memories began.

Her life before that as bleak like she never existed, save for that small lovely voice that reminded her to have courage and be good to people around her.

For that very reason, she knew it wasn’t so. She did not come in belwak, rather something had happened and that accident would be the key of sh I knew what transpired.

“Li Jing.”

It was his voice that broke ent out of her stupor, bringing her back to the present. “Father.” Her feet finally found their bearing as she took the first step and made her way towards him.

His eyes looked like they had seen things. He wasn’t smiling. Other, that had been his usual self for two decades now.

According to Li Xiu one day during their argument, she blamed Li Jing for seizing her father’s smile that it wasn’t until she came into their life that his smile began to fade away and within that month it was gone.

Back then, Li Jing would say she lied but thinking back now, could she really say Li Xiu as lying?

“Father,” she called out again, this time more bolder than before.

“Jing,” he stood up from his seat and she stopped moving. Both of them stood there starting into each other’s eyes and waiting for the other to make a move.

While she could not say anything further was because watching him, she felt like her inside we’re being torn. She felt like screaming all of her uncertainties to him and questioning him as to why he kept the most important part of her life hidden from her.

While she looked speechless and confused, Li Chun finally got himself back and summoned up the courage to speak up, “Please do come in and have a seat.”

“Thank you, father.”

She did not know why she bothered herself with calling him that when he did nothing to warrant such from her.

True that he took her in, but he did nothing when her foster mother ad sister where treating her like trash and a good for nothing. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelFɪre.net

Once seated, she waited for him to speak to her. The topicshe had come to discuss was one of importance. She did not want to rush in and throw him off guard, making him to be wary other.

“Let me call Xiaoli to fetch you something to eat. Tell me, what drink would you have me serve you?”

“No need father, I am okay. Do not worry.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Please do have your seat. After all, it is my home, right? Or am I now a guest in this place?” Knowing full well that Li Chun dare not say that due to her status and who her husband was, she still wanted to hear him speak that way.

It showed how we’ll people change just or worldly benefits.

“No, not at all.”

“Alright.” She shifted in her seat and smiled as he too dropped his ass on the opposite cushion. All the while his eyes looked as though they had seen a ghost and she began to wonder if it was work or he was hiding something.

“How are your grandfather and grand relatives?”

“They are fine.”

“Good.”

“What about you, how is home?”

“Home is fine. If you had come a bit earlier, you would have met your mother and your sister.”

“No offence. I call you father because I respect you, Mr Li. On the other hand, please do not call that woman and her daughter my blood. The only blood relative I have is my grandfather, relatives, husband and mother-in-law.”

“Fine. I Have heard you. My apologies for talking and referring you all as one.”

“Thank you. I know they do not want me either. So it is best if we remain the strangers that we are.”

“Do not get, if we remain this way it would do us nê?ther any good.”

“It is not I who chose to be this way. It was your wife and daughter who stole my fiance, and threw me out of the house and company. I only obeyed them and left.”

“But forgive and forget. That’s what we must teach ourselves.”

“I have shown too much forgiveness in this life and the fact that your wife and daughter are not sitting behind bars how, they should thank their stars that I still think of the past and you.”

His lips went a page as he watched her speak confident, y and a bit ruthlessly. The same Li Jing who could not speak up to her sister and foster mother how looked like she was going to tear them down.

“This is the last warning Ye Cheng has for them. And personally I have given up and forgiving them, this time I would keep my promise and ruin them if they should try something foolish against me.”

“I understand.”

While they yet spake, Xiaoli was busy by the telephone as neshot her head in the direction of the living room every now and then.

“Hello.”

“Xiaoli, yes, what is it?”

“Young mistress’s, you would not believe who showed up today,” Xiaoli whispered into the telephone, causing Li Xiu’s eyes to narrow.

“Who?”

“Your sister, Miss Li Jing.”

BANG!

Her eyes went wide with shock and she jolted, almost letting go of the phone. “She did what!”

“Yes, ma. She came to see the master.”

“Damn it!”

“Ma?”

“Do not worry, I am on my way now.”
