Chapter 190 - An Old Mistake
Yin Lifen’s eyes widened as realization struck home. "Li Jing." She turned back and saw her friend half bent with her hands clutching the left side of her forehead and blood staining her fingers. "Li Jing!"
"Li Jing!" The phone fell from her hand but she was lucky she was standing close to the cushion and it fell on the chair. "Li Jing!"
Ye Cheng yelled from the other end of the phone but he did not get any reply. Yin Lifen stepped forward and pulled her friend away from harm’s length, enveloping her in her hug.
BANG!
The door pushed open with a loud sound, revealing a handsome worried young man. Without wasting time, he closed the gap between them and went to hold Li Jing, pulling her away from Yin Lifen’s arms.
For the first time, Yin Lifen came face to face with her celebrity crush and she felt her heart cease and stop beating just from one look at him.
At that moment, she did not understand how Li Jing could still breath when under this magnanimous presence. If she had to see him every day then she might as well die daily because she would always be out of breath.
"Yin Lifen. Thanks for being with her."
"Umm..." Glass shatters! "Yeahhhhhhh!!" Yin Lifen screamed out her answer from the shock.
"Come, quickly, let us leave."
"Yes." She shook her head and mentally slapped herself. ’Not now, Yin Lifen. This is not the time.’

In no time they were out and down the stairs of the building. Ye Cheng’s men were stationed outside, blocking the angry and annoying fans from advancing forward or even throwing any more dangerous items.
As he was coming he also called for the police, so when the crowd saw the force with him, they all stopped throwing things and watched on.
By now some reporters were already present at the scene, ready to take into record what was happening.
"Ye Cheng, is it true what the social media posts say? Are you indeed in a relationship with Miss Bai Qing Mei and not Li Jing?"
"What does my being here tell you?" Ye Cheng snapped at the female reporter who asked the silly question.
"But Miss Li Jing had been seen with other men, how can you still suggest that you have a relationship with her/"
"Thing can be made up, even photographs can be photo-shopped. I am ashamed that the so called fans I have cannot distinguish that fact. Who I choose to be with is no one’s cup of tea and I have nothing to do with Bai Qing Mei. She simply was an old mistake."
"Ye Cheng, wait, one more question."
Ye Cheng turned around to see another reporter stretching her recorder at him. "Oh and one more thing, all these so called fans, you would go in for damages and for hurting a person without any cause. I hope you can bail yourselves. Officers, lock them all up."
"Nooo!"
The cries from the annoying fans reverberated in the surrounding but Ye Cheng paid them no heed. They brought it upon themselves for hurting Li Jing and they would be charged accordingly.
***
While Li Jing was going through her own personal stress, Li Xiu and Duan Tian met with their own end as well as Mr Yu Xiaowen.
Mr Yu received a clear warning from Mr Kang relaying Ye Cheng’s message. He was more than surprised to find out that the marketing slides plan that Duan Tian sent to him was stolen and knowing how tough Ye Cheng was as well, no one told him before he knew he should pull out.
At first he argued with the whole things feeling there was no evidence and that the bigger company was angry that with the new business plan they would climb higher in the stock market and could also rival Dream Star Corporation but things turned to be very different from how he imagined it to be.
He first of all dissed Mr Kang and his words but when he received a mail, following the video if how the files were stolen, he knew he was in a mess.
Not only did Ye Cheng withdraw from his company, Mr Kang’s business did as well. Both companies had big shares and their withdrawal could do a lot of damage as money would also be withdrawn.
Mr Yu, Xiaowern was left to beg Mr Kang saying he had no hand in it.
"I am sorry, Mr Yu but the fact that the very people that insulted Ye Cheng at your party, you went ahead to help them to raise their business and partner with them, proves to a large extent that you were in this with them too."
"Ah, Mr Kang. That is not the case. You are mistaken."
Mr Yu who looked totally pale like he had all the blood drained from his face, started to beg. The last thing he wanted to was to get on the bad side of the leading business man when his business just ranked top and remained there after some months.
"It is as it is. Now I think you intentionally invited them to your birthday party and had things arranged for them to insult Ye Cheng."
"No, how can you say that?"
"Can you prove otherwise?" Mr Kang challenged him.
It was no secret that Mr Yu was not involved in how stupidly Li Xiu and Duan Tian behaved but he was also in soup because of those nuisance and he needed to make an example quite well or his dream to do business with Li Jing would end because of his mistake.
It was not his fault that Mr Yu Xiaowen decided to walk into the trap he set for himself. Now, Mr Kang was just being the business man that he was and playing according.
What better than way than to make Mr Yu feel like there was no way out and have him drop everything in relation to the business and also quench his ego and dubious ways?
"I am sorry but you brought this on yourself. Withdraw and cancel the business plan."
"Wait, no."
