Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 597 - Angry Relatives

*************

CHAPTER 597

"It would bring out the hidden monster, Ye Cheng, who doesn't take nonsense from anyone and can be ruthless as well. I have longed to see that you come out."

"There hasn't been any need for it, even with Hao Huizhong and Bai Qing Mei's betrayer, I still held back but now, no more."

"I see. Then welcome back buddy."

"It is good to be back, Lei. Now off you go."

"Aye aye captain."

Smiling at him, Long Lei turned around, unlocked the door and left. Once he was all alone with Li Jing, he let out a deep sigh and finally took a seat close to her.

"My love. I'm so sorry. So so sorry for all my delays and inadequacies, baby. Sorry for putting you through all these because of me. I promise, they would all pay, just you watch."

RING! RING!

Quickly he got his phone out of his pocket and answered the call. The last thing he wanted was to disturb Li Jing's sleep.

"h.e.l.lo, w.a.n.g Lei."

"Cheng, I heard what happened. How is Li Jing?"

"Still unconscious but Long Lei has attended to her. She would be okay so he said."

"I understand. I would come and visit to check up on her. If there is anything I can do in the meantime, Ye Cheng, you can tell me and…"

Before he got the chance to speak further, Ye Cheng's angry voice growled out.

"Find the idiots that did this and make them pay relatively slow and painful."

'Got it. It would be my pleasure."

"No, let me see them when you guys find them and I want them found. There would be no mercy."

A small smile spread in Yi w.a.n.g Lei's lips almost instantly. "I would not even dream of showing them any mercy. I am glad that the monster Ye Cheng is back."

"Oh, you know no one should be."

"Anyways, do not have that cold look on your face when she wakes up. The last thing we want is freaking Li Jing out."

"I know. Thanks."

It did not take up to fifteen minutes after he ended the call then a knock came on the door.

"Yes, come in."

The door pushed open slowly, as two people stepped in.

"Michael," Li An called out instantly upon seeing Ye Cheng.

Ever since her return, she had not really seen her son look so dejected as he stared helplessly at his wife on the bed.

"Mum."

Even though he called out her name, he still did not look at her. It felts as though peeling his gaze away from Li Jing's body she would disappear or get missing or something.

"Son." He could hear her heave a sigh. He knew he was hopeless but he did not mind. It was his wife they were talking about. His Li Jing.

"Mum, I really should not have let her go. They lured her to come out so they could attack her. The whole charade in her company clearly said so."

"I know you feel like shut now, Cheng but know this, no amount of blaming yourself would ever set anything straight or get things sorted out," Lin Zian advised.

"Take my case for example. After losing my wife, Li Jing's mother became my whole world. I loved my daughter so much and became overprotective of her and then I lost her. I blame myself till this day for my selfish actions and wished I had given her more than a chance."

No one spoke. Rather Li An listened to him with rapt attention while Ye Cheng had his gaze set on his wife although he gave his grandfather-in-law rapt attention.

"Blaming oneself never gets old neither does it take care of the problem. I blamed myself silently for years but outwardly I never showed it and that was because I was too proud to admit my wrong. So stop blaming yourself."

"Yes, Grandpa Lin is right. Blaming yourself won't stop what had happened from happening. It cannot change the past but you can draft out a new and better future."

"I…" Sigh… "Mother, I really want to protect her. I have never loved any woman in my life the way I love Li Jing. I would not survive it if anything were to happen to her."

"Stop speaking that way, Ye Cheng. You would survive it and you need to. Why, because she would have wanted that not to throw your life away but thankfully, we met the doctor and he said it isn't so terrible."

"I know but what if it happens again?"

"Then son, ensure it doesn't ever have to repeat itself again. Understood?" She moved to where he sat and pulled his head a bit to her body as she lightly patted his head.

"There my love. She would be fine. And I know she would wake up so she can continue pampering you."

"Mum."

'Stop whining Cheng. You have to be a man."

"I am a man. I want to be my wife's baby for now."

"Tsk, I think Li Jing has pampered you so much. Even I never pampered you this way. You are a complete and utter big baby now."

"Mum."

"I said stop whining."

"I am not. You are the one thinking that way," he looked up at her and smiled. "I love you mum, thanks for understanding and being here, you too gramps."

"It is well, Cheng. Do not worry. Li Jing is a fighter. She survived something of this sort before. I believe she would keep fighting too. Those people that hate her, should be careful. I would inform her grand uncle, my brother, Lin Liqin."

"I bet he must have seen the news already," Ye Cheng reasoned.

"Yeah, but he needs to hear it from my mouth that his favourite grandniece was hurt."

At the same time, while they were talking, his phone suddenly began to ring, causing Ye Cheng and Li An to turn in his direction.

"Oh sorry let me get that."

Bringing his phone out of his pocket, his eyes popped out a bit at the caller. It took him some minutes before he turned to look at Ye Cheng and his mother. "Speak of the devil."

He answered the call and placed the phone to his left ear. "Liqin, what's up."

"Brother, afternoon. What did I just see on the news?"

"Yes."

"Do not tell me it is true. Where is she? Where is Li Jing?"

"She got involved in an accident."

"Who are those scoundrels that decided it is my favourite grand nieces' car they want to ram into?"

"We do not know yet."

Feeling tired of having to hold his phone to his ears and hear his kid brother rant, Lin Zian placed the phone on speaker on dropped it on the bed close to Ye Cheng before moving towards the cus.h.i.+on in the room and going to sit down.

To everyone's surprise, he ignored his brother and crossed his legs as he leaned back to rest his head.

"Do well to answer your grand uncle-in-law, Cheng."

"h.e.l.lo, Zian where are you? Lin Zian. Answer me this old man."

'You know you are not young either. I am older with just some years."

"Oh, you are still there. Tsk, now who are those idiots that injured my precious grandniece?"

"If I had known, I would have used all fi my resources to get back at them but I am clueless. Talk to your grandson-in-law and leave me."

Resigning off, he signalled for Ye Cheng to take over with the conversation while he relaxed.

"After all I am but an old man, now let this old man rest so he can take care of his granddaughter when she wakes up."

Smiling at him, Li An urged Ye Cheng to answer the phone and not keep the caller waiting.

"Ye Cheng."

"Yes, uncle?

"Tell me you have caught the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds that did this."

The way he was ranting, which was so unusual for Lin Liqin told them he was angry by the situation and if he were to find the culprits, he would readily tear them apart.

"I still do not know, sir."

"WHAT? What do you mean by you do not know?"

"I have men working on it and I am waiting for their findings. That is all I know."

"But Ye Cheng…"

"Uncle," he called out quickly to get his Uncle to calm down. "I understand how you feel. I feel that way too. It is my wife who got the accident, remember? I am equally raged, right now. Regardless, I would do all I can to make them pay."

"Fine. I trust you. I am sorry. I did not mean to make you feel somehow. I am just too p.i.s.sed off right now. Did they not do a proper background check on her to know that she is completely off-limits? No soul should tamper with her or even hurt her?"

"I am sure they did not do their homework well and that is why we would send a proper message as a reminder to them."
