CHAPTER 318

"Fine, Li Jing. I know you know. I am not sick so let us stop playing games," Lin Xuilan finally confessed.

"Really? Wow!" She intentionally sounded shocked to let her grand auntie feel so terrible.

"Stop all these talk. What is it that you want from me?" Lin Xuilan asked, throwiong caution to the wind.

"I feel so astonished at how well your acting skills have improved since our last encounter but compared to your son, I think you suck."

"Li Jing!" Lin Xuilan hollered at her.

"Anyways, enough with the games, Lin Xiulan," Li Jing said suddenly becoming serious.

"Li Jing, where has your manners gone to?"

"I only give respect to who respect is due. If you respect yourself then you would get mine. Lin Xiulan, I think it is about time you admit your guilt or aren't you ashamed of doing this?"

"Li Jing! Watch your mouth!" Lin Xuilan bellowed again but all she got was a laughter followed by a scoff from Li Jing.

"Tsk, when those who should kneel and grovel start acting like the boss of the house. It is no surprise that when the master shows kindness to the servant, the servant starts feeling like the son of the house and undermining the children of the house. A failure of pure gratitude."

"Li Jing!"

"What? Is that how you bite the hand that feeds you? Grandfather took Lin Jingyi in as his own and trained him on his business yet you are not contented with that and seek only to have him to yourself for selfish reasons."

"How dare you speak such insolence Li Jing?"

"How dare not I? Or do I speak lies? I speak only the truth and you know it. It is no wonder you want to remove me from the equation, so that Jingyi would have the company that is why you resorted to your directly tricks of trying to frame me."

"What nonsense do you speak off, Li Jing? Who do you think is framing you? You have no proof just plain hunch because we opposed your coming into the family then. Try again, Li Jing. You still have years of experience lacking behind."

"Is that so? Alright then. Do not blame me if you see your son locked in jail for stealing the project files and selling it off to another company."

"You are just bluffing."

"Am I?"

"Yes. I do not even know why I am still on this call."

"I think you do know from your heart. You know the reason why. You know of a truth I am not bluffing and the fact that I told you your son informed me you were sick wasn't a bluff either. I caught him."

"Caught him doing what?"

"Hmm, ask him. I think you also know though but to help you recall since your memory is already going bleak, ask him where he was on the ninth of this month at exactly 3 pm. I would drop something off in your mail. Do well to check cause your fate and his rest in your p[alms now."

"Li…" Beep! Beep!

The call ended and Li Jing dropped her phone on her desk and looked up only to find that, Yin Lifen was staring at her all these while.

"What?"

"Nothing. It is just that my friend has grown up so much and matured a lot. I am just shocked at how you are now."

"You like?"

"Like? I love it. Keep it up and put fire on their asses. Let them feel the wrath of the mighty Li Jing." Li Jing burst into an uproar of laughter. She also liked the Yin Lifen she was seeing and honestly, if she was truthful to herself, she liked the new her.

"II am happy I make you happy."

"Thanks dear. Now I can relax knowing fully well that my baby can take care of herself from now on."

"Thanks momma. Oh yeah, before I forget, let me send her a copy of the file to her email. It would be glorious seeing the shock on her face but too bad that isn't possible now."

"And she can't even delete it. You have the footage of everything," Yin Lifen added.

"Exactly. I have them all. They are all backed up into two separate accounts. One way or another, I am going to clasp their wings."

"Good one. What about your big grand auntie?"

"Oh, I am coming for her. Grand auntie, I would not inform her I know of her using Deng Meili as the mole. Noipe, we would play her at her own game."

"But are you noit worried that Lin Xiulan would inform her?"

"Oh, she should actually because they would all go in together. After all, they did something really bad. Now to call the one person I should have called since."

"And who is that?"

"Guess." Her cheeks puffed up as she smiled mischievously to her friend.

"I do not like that smile. Sigh, I think you know who has influenced you so much."

Yin Lifen had hoped that saying that would make her friend try and smile more, rather it only got her feeling down a bit. "Hey, Li Jing,. I didn't mean to."

"I know," Li Jing cut in saying./ "It is all good. I guess I over thought. He doesn't need me or want me or miss me as much as I do."

"Don't say that. You knolw Ye Chenmg is but one complicated soul, right?"

"Yeah. Anyways, that topic should just… Sigh I am going to put a call through to Kim Fan. I think I have been insulted so much in one day."

'You should. They should have done proper investigation first before suing you."

"Their mistake. They would pay for it as well their percentage of shares for this project would drop, making us, Lin Group the sole owner of the hotel."

Ring! Ring!

Both Yin Lifen and Li Jing stopped talking and looked at her phone. "Viola, I see she has gotten the message. Now let the taming begin."
