"Why don't we have her fiance break the engagement? That would be perfect. She will have no means to threaten me in the future. Two birds at one stone." Jing Lihua said with a smile. What had happened today was necessary. She needed to show these people their place in order to stop them from making trouble for the future. They had caused her enough problems already and she didn't want them to follow her to Beijing.
Wu Ying was horrified. All she had done was said a few words of insults. "Please don't." Wu Ying was fully aware of the fact that President Li was capable of making her engagement break with just a few words. In fact, it was the relationship of the Wu family with Li Zhiqiang that had led to her engagement. Her hands were resting on the ground. They tightened into fists. "Don't be this petty. All I did was to say some words to you. No harm was done. And you would go to such extent to get back at me?"
"And what do you have to say about the assassination attempt? Are you going to insist that you had nothing to do with that too?"Jing Lihua left her shocked.
Wu Ying froze. "I know nothing of the sort! Y-You are accusing me on the baseless grounds now!" She was already sweating profusely.
Jing Lihua gave her a quick glance. 'She had nothing to do with it'. Jing Lihua could tell from her body language. Her shocked expressions were genuine. W Ying should pay for what she did. Not for what she didn't do. But Jing Lihua also made another surprising discovery.
Right, when Jing Lihua said the words 'assassination attempt', Wu Xiuqin cringed. She didn't even look up as a normal shocked shocked person would. Instead, she meticulously tried to hide her face by keeping it down.
'So it had been you all along?' Jing Lihua smiled and with that, she said to Li Zhiqiang. "Let's go. We don't want to be late. I still have a lot to attend back to Beijing." She kissed Li Zhiqiang on the cheek and left. For a moment, Li Zhiqiang stayed frozen at his spot. Only once Jing Lihua broke was far ahead, he broke out of the trance and followed her with a foolish smile.
Wu Ying finally eased. Her knees hurt with all that kneeling. There were tears in her eyes. "I will not let that whore off!" But she still smiled. She still had managed to maintain a little bit of pride in front of that woman. "That vixen clearly wanted me to crawl and beg in front of her till she let me off. In the end, she didn't dare to be too vulgar in front of Li Zhiqiang."
"You made a mistake Wu Xiuqin." Wu Ying's face was white. "You should have begged her once President Li stepped into the room."
"What do you mean? We got out of all that unscathed. Didn't we?"
...
Li Zhiqiang had just ended up sending a quick message to his brother. "What did you say to them?" Li Zhiqiang showed her. There were only two words. 'Destroy Wu family'
"Isn't it too ambiguous? What is Li Xun supposed to know from that."
"He would know enough to have them bankrupt and ended up on the streets. Jing Lihua, you should know that until now it was because of your sake I had been holding up. Now that those people don't matter to you, I have no need to hold back anything. Especially for that bastard Wu Junjie. He would have no idea what is coming for him." Li Zhiqiang looked into her eyes. "But are you really okay with everything?"
"Before I passed out I said I would never forgive you if you let anything happen to her. I remember."
Li Zhiqiang's face was tense.
"But that was the matter of the past. Besides, you know I was naive back then. I'm a changed woman now. I can see right from wrong." Jing Liha laughed it off.
"Was it all for the show?" Li Zhiqiang asked, holding her hand. Jing Lihua felt the warmth of his hand enveloping hers and it made her smile unconsciously. Too afraid that Jing Liha might say that it was all for the show, he quickly said. "If it was, I must say I owe those people a great deal for having my JingJing clutch to me like that."
"Enough with the stupid nickname." Jing Lihua almost facepalmed with embarrassment. She didn't want anyone to hear call her that. It would be so embarrassing, she would rather die. "It was not a show. You are so impatient as always. Li Zhiqiang I have told you my affections for you are real and still there. What are you worried about? I just need some time to fix my problems. After that, it will be just you and me?"
"Do you promise?" Li Zhiqiang's eyes lightened with hope.
"I wouldn't promise you. Because I have already made that promise six years ago." Jing Lihua said sweetly with a teasing smile. Her cherry red lips against her fair, smooth skin looked so tempting. Her eyes were big and beautiful. Like some precious jade. Innocent yet holding a spark of mischief in them. Li Zhiqiang was enraptured by the sight before him. For some time, he didn't say anything.
"You must know. I'll always be there for you. Whenever you feel tired or need someone, I'll always be waiting for you." He didn't wait anymore and leaned in to capture her tempting lips. Her sweet scent entered his senses and intoxicated him into a euphoric state. She had no idea the effect she had on him. After the last night, he had been constantly thinking about her all day. Especially at the club, with her hugging her so closely yet his being unable to do anything was driving him insane.
Jing Lihua was shocked Where did that come from? But she didn't resist and let her body melt int his arms and let him devour her lips.
