Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 67
Advertisement
After a minute of searching, she found what she was looking for.
"Damn it!"
Right now she was looking for the right file she needed to make the presentation but after searching she recalled that Li Jing had sent her two files to her email and she deleted one of them.
Unknown to her the file she had deleted was the file carrying the right slides.
Her hands moved up to scatter her hair as she stared with pained eyes at the screen.
"Li Jing, why do you always torment me?" Li Jing lamented.
She was already getting tired of her life revolving around her younger adopted sister.
"Arrghhhh... What do I do now?"
Li Xiu asked no one in particular and shook her hair several times in hopes of getting the terrible feeling away.
She hated being embarrassed and made a ridiculed of. She was unlucky because, today she got it.
After a moment of thinking, she opened her eyes and reached for her phone on the desk.
In no time she dailled a familiar number.
"Hello, Duan Tian," Li Xiu called his name sharply.
Duan Tian who was about start his sweet talking her, heard her unusual tone and removed his phone from his ears to check who the caller really was.
He was shocked because on a normal day, Li Xiu would not call his name like that, let alone in such a tone.
"Xiu, what is the matter?"
"Where exactly did you see Li Jing?"
Duan Tian's face dropped at her sudden question. He was confused about what the topic was now with Li Jing.
He recalled leaving her in a slightly good mood. So what now made her turn sour all of a sudden.
"The place I showed you on the news. Why? What is wrong, Li Xiu?"

"I need to see her."
"What did she do this time around?"
"I need her to send the right slides for the marketing presentation for the meeting."
"Did anything wrong happen during the meeting?"
"Yes. It was a completely a disaster. I just need her to send the files to me again, then I can sort myself from there, Duan Tian."
"That would be very difficult."
"What is that so?"
"Obviously, she wouldn't be staying there after that raid. If she is alive, Li Jing would be in hiding."
"Oh come on! I need her!" Li Xiu lamented, half screaming in his ears.
"Calm down."
"How can you tell me to calm down? I am about to lose a very good investor because of her."
"Hey, do not yell at me. I recall telling you about her and you asked me to let her go and ignore her."
"Exactly. And what did you do? Did you listen to me or you went to pinpoint where she was to God knows who. Now look at the outcome. She is gone and nowhere to be found. We are now back at square one."
"Whoa, young lady calm down. Do not take it out on me. I did nothing. I only taught her and her new lover a lesson and if I recall correctly, you seemed to have been happy about it. Besides, who looks for someone and when the person is found, virtually abandons the person and now wants the person back. Can you be at the very least, decisive?"
"Duan Tian! Are you insulting me?"
"I never insulted you, Xiu. I am only stating something. How do you expect me to get a hold of Li Jing after what happened the last time?"

"You're so... Arghh. Just let me be. If you cannot help me I would find her myself."
"And how do you intend on doing that?"
"Are you going to help me out or not?"
She was beginning to get impatient with the way the discussion was going. If he was going to help her, then he should say so and not compound her problems.
"Fine, I would help you. Just try and calm down, darling."
"Okay. I would try my best to calm down. Thanks."
"No worries."
Beep!
The call went dead and Li Xiu let out an exasperated sigh as she dropped her phone.
*******
After Ye Cheng dropped Li Jing at the hospital, she made her way quickly inside.
In a few minutes she was already standing at the door of the ward and turned the door knob then walked in.
Yin Lifen turned hear head towards the door and saw Li Jing standing there with a take away bag in her hands.
Upon laying eyes on her friend, Yin Liven smiled at her and Li Jing took that as her go ahead to walk inside.
"Hey Jing," Yin Liven greeted her with a small smile adorning jet beautiful face.
"Hey FenFen." Her voice came in a low and soft tone so as not to disturb the sleeping grandma.
Yin Life stood up and went to hug her friend. Right now she needed all the hugs she could get as this was the first time she met her grandmother in such a state.
When she asked her grandmother what happened, she found out that it was when grandmother was calling her that she had the accident.
She had wanted her baby to accompany her for an outing and was too busy redailling Yin Lifen's number when she ended up missing a step, causing her to stumble over and injure herself.
"She would be fine. Grandma is a strong lady," Li Jing said comforting her.
"Yeah," Yin Lifen nodded at her friend then offered her a seat.
"Nah it is okay dear. I brought cookies for you and Grandma," Li Jing explained to her and handed her friend the bag.
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
After a short conversation, both girls remained silent as they watched the old lady taking rest.
After some minutes, Yin Lifen could not take it anymore. She got up from he seat and pulled her friend out of the ward with her, leaving her grandma to rest while their family guard watched over her.
"Where are we going?" Li Jing asked as she managed to keep up with her friend.
"Just strolling."

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
