Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 28 - Office Trouble

CHAPTER 28

By the time Li Jing left the house, she walked down the hill and unto the main road, then boarded a taxi to take her to the office, straight to her adopted father's company.

It was a small business company when compared to the big sharks out there, but it was also doing well to some extent.

Her father had gone on the business trip t garner favour from investors willing to invest in his business so that he could expand.

He was planning something big and he needed the money and for that, investments from bigger companies, that was why he travelled and was not around when all the mess happened.

About twenty minutes later, Li Jing arrived at her father's company, the Li Group and walked into the big building without a care in the world.

On her way there, she had already prepared her mind for the worse possible scenario and was willing to accept her fate, whether they drive her out in a disgraceful manner or not.

Even if they didn't do anything, she was going to resign and go build her life from scratch away from them.

Immediately she entered, the security personnel on duty greeted her well as though nothing happened. She returned his greeting and proceeded inside.

As much as that should have relieved her seeing as he didn't give her the judgmental stare, she was not ready to let her guard down. For all, she knows he may not even be aware of the situation yet.

Proceeding inside the company to where the other employees were, she started hearing them talk in hushed tones as she walked forward.

They were all giving her different type of stares and she did not mind it and walked upstairs to the third floor where her office and Li Xiu's was.

T the third floor the workers there got bolder with their remarks and did not bother if she heard or not.

"Look at her walking majestically in here like she owns the place," one of the ladies commented to another one.

"True. I do not know what she feels like. She is not even the legitimate daughter, yet she had the nerve to go against the heiress of the Li Group."

"I do not know if she is daring or just being stupid. Did you hear? I heard that the young miss asked that she be dismissed."

"What?" another lady asked shocked as she turned to look at the gossips behind her.

"Yes, it is not surprising though. She had been claiming and clinging to Miss Li Xiu's fiancé as her own and lately, Li Xiu couldn't bear it again and asked her out."

"Wow. Who knew she was his shameless to go after her own sister's fiancé like that."

"True. She acts like an innocent sheep, but is a devil within, just like her mother."

"What do you mean by her mother?"

"I heard she is an illegitimate child and was not adopted."

As they gossiped about her openly, Li Jing ignored, not bothering to answer them or clear her name and proceeded to open her office doors, but met that it was locked.

She immediately took her keys out and opened the door but it did not fit in the keyhole. Immediately a sudden burst of laughter exploded from behind her as all the other workers started laughing at her.

She turned to look at the group of laughing dollop heads to ask who changed the lock as she wanted to get her personal stuffs and leave, but before she could utter a word, a certain someone spoke, the voice ringing loud and clear.

"Li Jing!"

Li Jing instinctively turned her head to the side to look at the direction the voice was coming from.

Right to her side was a passageway that led to several offices and from one of those offices, a lady clad in a purple fitted off-shoulder gown that hugged her ever curves and stopped just on top of her thighs walked forward.

As she moved, her long straight blonde hair reaching her bra length moved with her. Soon she was standing before Li Jing with mischief laced in her eyes.

It was none other than her co-worker in the financial department, Yang YanMei.

Yang YanMei has had it hot for Li Jing since she arrived at the company. She used to be the star of the company's financial team but since Li Jing came, she took the spotlight away from her.

That and coupled with her innocent and charming self made her the beauty of all eyes and pushed Yang YanMei to second place, which she greatly detested.

"I see you still have the guts to come here wearing that pretentious innocent look like you have done nothing. If I were you, I would have buried my face in the gutters by now and cry my shameful self away, but what s to be expected of an illegitimate child? Nothing!"

'Yang YanMei! Watch your mouth and eat back those words before I make you to.' That was what was on her mind to say but she swallowed it and thought she wasn't worth her wasting her breath on.

Rather she looked at the lady with a calm expression on her face and said, "Do you have the keys to m office?"

"Your office! You must be a dummy if you can still call this place your office after all you did. I used to think you were bright or was that just a lie too? You do not belong here, Li Jing. Go to the slumps, it is where cheating, conniving whore like you belong."

Li Jing clenched her fist so tight that her knuckles turned white, she was really having her patience slip away at this lunatic words. Just when she was about to retort and spit back her words at her, Yang YanMei beat her to it.

"Gu Ruolan," she called, her head tilting to the side a bit. At her back was another lady, a young intern, her assistant. She was carrying a box containing some files and personal belongings in them.
