CHAPTER 326

"Thanks. I would be," Li Jing bowed her head to him slightly.

"Good. Anyways, I was on my way home to see your grandfather."

"Okay, I was going to the mall. Does granduncle wants to come with me?" Her smile made it difficult for him to want to refuse her. So he closed his eyes and did anyway.

"I am sorry dear child. I need to see your grandfather quickly and get back. Some other time, okay?"

"Sure. Thanks once more for today. Love you lots uncle. Bye."

"Bye dear."

Lin Liqin waited till she entered her car and drove off, before he too entered his and left the vicinity.

All through Duan Tian was praying that the worse had already come and he was not going to suffer so much.

Little did he know that the worst was yet to come.

By the time Li Jing got home, she found out that her uncle had long gone, leaving just her grandfather.

She had no thought as to what he had come to see his brother for, but she was not interested in pock nosing.

"Good evening, grandfather," she greeted him when she saw him descending from the stairs.

"How is my baby doing?"

"I am fine and you?"

"Great. I heard of what happened with that your ex-boyfriend sc.u.m." The look of distain that showed in his eyes when he made mention of Duan Tian only made Li Jing smile.

She was happy she had people that cared about her and that Duan Tian got a taste of pain and he felt for the first time what it meant to be powerful.

"Yes grandfather but thanks to Uncle, he was dealt with."

"Yes, thanks to Lin Liqin. Come, I have something to discuss with you about."

"What is the matter, grandfather?"

"Umm…"

"Did something bad happen to the company again or what?" Li Jing was already feeling like something terrible was about to happen.

"Relax dear. It is not as you think. It is nothing so terrible. But first it would be wicked of me if I do not let you go in and freshen up first. You must be tired after that encounter with that being."

"Do not worry about me, grandpa. I do not think I can freshen up and be at peace with the expression on your face. We can discuss about this now," Li Jing suggested.

"No. I insist young one. It can wait. I need you to be relaxed when I tell you this and it may end up being lengthy as dependent on how you see my idea. But know that it is for your own good."

"Fine. I would go freshen up and change. I would be back in twenty minutes, grandfather."

'Taker your time. No hurry. I would be in my study when you come to find me."

"Alright." Li Jing managed to let out a small smile and then walked away.

All though her bath and changing, her mind never once stopped thinking, trying to figure out what her father wanted to discuss with her about.

She was one heck of a thinker and in such a short time frame she had searched all the possible topic apart from the most important one that her mind failed to bring up.

By the time she was done, she made her way to his study but not before going to look at her mother's portrait as she found solace having to know that her mother was watching over her.

'Mother, take charge. I do not feel okay. Something tells me that something definitely is going to be wrong.' Li Jing touched her necklace, closed her eys before taking her leave.

Knock! Knock!

The door pushed open and Li Jing walked in, greeting her grandfather and closing the door.

"Please, do have a seat." He gestured towards the chair in front of his desk for her to sit. She did and waited for him to begin.

"I want you to relax, Li Jing. There is nothing wrong. I just want to inform you about a new development and nothing more."

"Alright grandfather." She closed her eyes gently, feeling the coolness of the air conditioner brush against her skin as she took a deep breath with her chest rising and falling with each breath she took.

By the time she felt her nerves had relaxed a bit, she open her eyes once more and smiled at him. "I am ready grandfather."

"Great. Li Jing, I called you here today to tell you about something. In fact I have had this thought in mind for quite some time now, but I was watching and waiting to see first and after the incident of today, I thought it good hat it was time."

"Okay." She did not know where the discussion was going but kept her fingers crossed under the table.

"Yeah. You see, I noticed that you have not really had a good boyfriend before and the useless Duan Tian who tricked you was the worst sc.u.m. I also noticed that you need someone to protect you to avoid issues like this from repeating itself again."

'Where is he going with this?' Li Jing asked herself inwardly.

"Long ago, due to the closeness between the Lin and Kim family, we promised to betroth our offspring to each other to ensure a long lasting relations.h.i.+p with our generation and your mother and Kim Fan's father were to be joined in matrimony before your mother thought it wise to go against me and ran away."

"Grandfather…"

Before she could speak he raised his hand to stop her. Li Jing swallowed her words and waited.

"Let me finish," Lin Zian stated.

"My apologies."

"Hmm. Li Jing, all I have ever done, I did because I love you and your mother. I have always loved her and did what I thought was best for her. Look at what happened to her when she refused my goodwill. I just hope you do not repeat your mother's mistake as well."

"So what you are saying in all sense is…?"
