Chapter 229 - They Don't Deserve It

CHAPTER 229

Li Jing could barely believe what she was hearing. He gave them money? Hell No!

"Grandfather!"

"Calm down baby, calm down."

"Why didn’t you consult me first?"

"Like I said, I wanted to surprise you, Li Jing. I did not know you would not approve of it."

"Grandfather. Next time, please I do hope you would seek my opinion first."

"Yes dear. From the looks of things, they must have not treated you well, did they?"

He got that right and Li Jing was about saying what had happened when she realized that she would be bad mouthing them and it was wrong to bad mouth people.

"Grandfather, I just did not have the best childhood and growing up experience with them. Yes I am grateful for them adopting me and even though Ding Jiaying did not treat me so well like she did her daughter, I had a roof over my head and an education that made me who I am today. It could have been worst but it wasn’t."

"That is good my dear. I am happy that irrespective of what they did, you can still recognize that they helped you. That was the thank you I was giving them."

"But it is too much for them. Especially mother and sister. They made living there hell and limited me in so much. Honestly, call me wicked but after everything they did to me and throwing me out of the house, they do not deserve even a penny."

"They what?" Ye Cheng and Mr Lin questioned at once.

Up until then, Ye Cheng barely knew much about Li Jing especially her break up with Duan Tian and all that.

All the things he knew were the peripheral of the matter and he did not want to pry so much that was why he did not ask her about it. But hearing this... damn, those two bitches deserved nothing.

"It is a long story grandfather but if you still want to give them, you can. I have no worries but please they do not deserve your gratitude further."

"Noted dear. Well, the cheque I gave them is a bounce check. I did that intentionally as I wanted to test their behavior and personality and it turns out Mrs Lin is all about what she can get from someone and nothing more, while your father is acting fishy."

"Okay. Knowing who mother is, she would surely search for you in order for you to give her the money."

"Let her come. I would make her grovel on her knees first and apologize before she gets the money. She had the guts to throw out my granddaughter. Does she know who you are?"

"Grandfather calm down. We cannot have you getting a heart attack you know." Her sadness was replaced by a brilliant smile quickly. "Please be well."

"Okay. I would see you later in the day alright?"

"Sure. Bye."

Immediately the call ended that was when it clicked in Mr Lin’s mind that he was hearing a guy’s voice but he did not think, much about it as she could have any kind of visitor considering it was the new year. Unknown to him, she had her male visitor overnight.

The kind of look Ye Cheng gave her told her he wasn’t pleased with how her life had been all these years.

"Relax too. Am I not fine and okay now?"

"Yes you are but still, it doesn’t change the fact that they did that to you."

"Honestly speaking, both my adoptive mother and sister had always wanted me out of the house right from day one but father refused my leaving even while in school, I had to go from home. And then Li Xiu and Duan Tian started seeing each other behind my back but I felt that it was just my sister being friends with him."

"Weren’t there any signs/" Ye Cheng could not believe that that would be happening and she wouldn’t be aware.

"There was but I failed to notice because I was too naïve and stupid. All I have ever done with Duan Tian was to kiss him and nothing more."

"But he was busy lashing your sister. Ingrate!" Li Jing smiled at how angry he was right then and continued her tale.

"Apparently, after the dinner of our supposed engagement when I caught them having sex with no remorse, I went back home in pain, ready to pack and not let anyone stop me but her mother had already ordered that my things be packed before my arrival."

"That was sad. And your adoptive father?"

"He travelled for a business trip. So by the time I got back, I was chased out but even that did not make me feel sad but they did not stop there and Li Xiu had me thrown out of the company as well."

"Still your father did not find out?"

"Obviously he didn’t or he would have looked for me."

"Now that is just pure negligence on his part. He doesn’t keep tabs on his company? Even though you travel you are to ensure things are functional."

"He believes Li Xiu is doing a good job."

"By stealing other people’s work and ideas? It is no wonder the company is not doing well even with you there." Li Jing wanted to feel insulted but ignored his words and did not take it to heart.

"Pardon."

"I am sorry, do not get me wrong. What I meant was that, no wonder you were there as a worker but there was nothing to show for it. She basically did not use your ideas."

"Okay although you are kind of right but that is not exactly true."

"How so?"

"Because Li Xiu did not steal ideas from outside, rather she stole my ideas and did modifications on them, eliminating the better work to something not worth it and killing the company the more. So, even though I was present, never once was my ideas giving an opportunity to shine and move the company forward."
