Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 120 - The Invitation

CHAPTER 120

Hearing Li Xiu been outspoken like this left Mrs Duan tong tied.

Not wanting to be outsmarted by a young girl, she immediately countered her. "Isn't that why you are his girlfriend? Aren't you supposed to support him?"

"If I recall correctly, I did just that, so what more does he want from me?"

"Fix the mess you created."

"I did no such thing. I am fixing nothing. First, you should discipline your son and teach him on how to treat a lady first, then I would a.s.sist him in getting what he wants."

Those were the words Li Xiu wished she had said to Duan Mingyu but at the end of it all, she still had to mellow down and accept it.

Someone definitely had to go in for all these insult and embarra.s.sment later and that would be Duan Tian, followed by Li Jing.

(Li Jing: Arrchemmm!!)

"I would do my best and a.s.sist Tian, mother. You can rest a.s.sured."

"Good."

She handed the phone back to her son and smiled at her daughter. Yes, she tamed the cub or so she thought.

"Xiu, I would visit you later today. See you baby."

"Oh, yeah sure. I would be expecting YOU!!" Li Xiu made sure to lay emphasis on the last part so he antic.i.p.ated what she would do when he got to her place.

Duan Tian cut the call and gave his, other a fake smile before standing up to leave.

"Where are you going to, Tian?"

"Isn't it obvious? To fix my mess of course."

"Or to go see that lousy girlfriend of yours?" Duan Li Wei asked, earning a sneer from her brother and her left them to their absurd thoughts.

By the next day, Ye Cheng quickly got himself ready and headed to work. Before going he decided to pick Li Jing but kicked against it and instead sent Hua Duyi.

He knew she was worried and should have called her but yesterday he spent quite a long time being by himself and thinking things through.

He had been mega betrayed by those who he called his own, at the very heart of his company.

He needed to sit up and remove all the sc.r.a.ps from the company and his life and he was going to start today, removing them one by one.

He got to the office earlier than usual and began clearing the pile of work he had abandoned yesterday.

He needed to finish all the main doc.u.ment so he would have enough time to trash out the issue carefully.

This was going to be one epic day in his life and one that he would never forget.

By the time Li Jing arrived and decided to check in on him, Han Qing Qing had to turn her down as he was in a meeting with important clients and he needed to rush things.

"Okay, I would come some other time."

"Sure. Sorry about that."

"It's no worries. I should get back to work now." Li Jing bade Han Qing Qing goodbye and returned to her office.

By the time it was mid-day, Ye Cheng had finished clearing all the meetings and problems he needed to handle. It was now time for the big event.

He turned his wrist inward and gaze that his watch to check the time. It was already 2 pm sharp and time for the big day.

Earlier in the day, he had sent Bai Qing Mei a message that he wanted to see her at 2 pm and sent same to Hao Huizhong, inviting them to his office.

So any minute from then, they would arrive. Both parties knew how he prioritizes keeping to time and how well he hates lateness.

So he hoped they would do so and stress him less.

Suddenly a knock came at his door twice then it opened. Ye Cheng peeled his eyes away from his watch and his eyes landed on the smiling Bai Qing Mei followed by Hao Huizhong who just entered the office after her.

Instantly, his stoic expression changed and a smile appeared on his lips as though he was more than happy to see them.

"Bai Qing Mei, Hao Huizhong, welcome!" Ye Cheng stood from his seat to welcome the duo. Ai Qing Mei who did not notice anything wrong and out of character with Ye Cheng went to the other side to hug him tight and kissed him on the lips.

But the moment her lips was about touching his, Ye Cheng pretended as though he was not paying attention and turned his head to look at Hao Huizhong, causing Bai Qing Mei to kiss him on the cheeks.

"Huizhong," he said and extended his hand to his friend for a shake.

Hao Huizhong accepted it and watched as Bai Qing Mei frowned for not getting what she wanted. Nevertheless, he brushed it aside, thinking she was just too clingy that the poor boy wanted to rest a bit.

"Please have your seat."

Ye Cheng left them and went to get a wine from his fridge along with three cups and set them down for all of them.

By the time everything was set, he went back to his seat with his own drink and sat down with one leg crossed against the other as he leaned back on his seat.

Honestly, even though none of them wanted to say it or show it, they were feeling rather awkward by the whole thing.

Up till now, none of them knew the reason why he had called them and could only just catch some glances between themselves every now and then when he was busy getting the drink and serving them.

They did not know that Ye Cheng, even though busy, he still had his eyes on them, watching their every move and behaviour for anything suspicious and boy did he find one.

It was Bai Qing Mei who first spoke, breaking the awkward silence and stares between them. "Cheng darling, what is the occasion?"
