CHAPTER 825 — It Makes Sense Now

Li Jing did not bother explaining much to Ye Cheng. "I'll be back. I need to check on something."

"Now?" His expression made her heart ache. She wished to stay, love him and cuddle to help him relax, but she couldn't. Her mind was all over the place, which wasn't good. How could she provide solace in such a state? Li Jing pulled away and hurried away, leaving a confused Ye Cheng behind to watch her scurry off. Bang!

The sound from the shut door pulled Ye Cheng back to his senses. 'What was that about? Did I creep her out or something?' He wondered. "Tsk, women. I'll have her give me an explanation before then. But for now, I guess I'll just let mum know about the development of things. Uncle Fong Cai may be able to get something for me too."

*******

Li Jing did not bother enlisting the help of his guards and immediately got into her car, started the ignition, and drove away. All the while her eyes was fixed on the road, her mind was somewhere different, replaying the letters and numbers Ye Cheng said. It took all of her focus to stay on the road and ensure she remained safe while she drove. 'How could I not have known?' It all makes sense now.' Li Jing voiced internally. "It was there all along. I never knew because I never knew." She shook her head against that thought. "There's no way I could have known."

'You're the cause. You're bad luck!'

'It's your fault, Li Jing. Your fault, dad lost his plate number, my birthday!'

'I hate you! Mum was right. You're a bad head!'

Li Jing's grip on the steering wheel tightened as she blinked back the tears threatening to spill in her eyes. This was a bad moment for her. Her childhood, since she could remember, wasn't anything good, thanks to Li Xiu and her mother. They never failed to remind her that she was her father's mistake, a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who ruined their family and brought bad luck to them. 'Ever since you came, our family has never been the same. I bet that mistress of a mother you have is happy wherever she is. You deserve to die too.'

'You ruined him, Li Jing. You-witch, you made him lose so much. Can't you see the bad energy surrounding your miserable life?!'

POW!

'If you think you can come here and make us suffer, I'll remind you each day that you made the wrong choice coming here.'

'You and your b.i.t.c.h mother don't deserve to live.'

From mother to daughter, Li Jing suffered through the years.

And the one man whom she thought brought her into the world, and that family that should have had her back, never really cared what happened to her. "It all makes sense now," she muttered under her breath. "I was never his, but then there is a link."

Unable to hold it in any longer, Li Jing's eyes flooded with tears. "It is time to confirm."

*********

As soon as Ye Cheng made his decision, he went in search of his mother to deliver the news to her. To his surprise, she wasn't home.

He was informed she returned to her own house earlier that morning. "What?!"

Shock had been an understatement for the fear that gripped his heart. Picking his keys from the key rack, Ye Cheng rushed out of his mansion and into the parking lot. He got into his car and rode as fast as he could to his mother's house. The last time she was in her car and at her house, her life was threatened. He wasn't planning on losing her. Nor did he understand why she'd go there when Chairman Zhang was still alive and barely convicted for his crimes. "Is she that badly affected by the investigator's result that he wishes for death?" His fingers tightened, and his knuckles turned white as he stepped on the accelerator of his car. "She can't do that, right? I thought she said she was happy with dad. Or wait, did something happen?"

He tried wrapping his mind around why she took such a risk without telling him.

Within ten minutes, he made it to her house, ignoring the police car trying to stop him for overspeeding. Placing a quick call to his friend, Fong Wei Ling, he asked him to handle the cops and not let anyone disturb him in the meantime. Once that was settled, he alighted from the car and rushed into the house. Luckily, the door wasn't locked and he helped himself in before her maid could get the door. As swiftly as his feet could take him, Ye Cheng found himself in her living room. "Mom!" His ear-deafening scream rang out, his eyes scanning the parlour for his mother. "Mum?"

When he got no response, he called out once more. "Mum!"

"What is the matter, Cheng?" At the sound of his mother's voice, Ye Cheng's heartbeat quickened, his eyes locking on the second living room, where he was sure her voice came from.

"Mum." He rushed towards the entrance and into the parlour, his feet coming to an abrupt stop as he saw her stand, getting ready to come for him. "Mom." Forgetting everything else, he rushed and enveloped her in a big hug. Li An was stunned. She hadn't expected him to come cras.h.i.+ng through her door and acting scared. But given that she did not inform him, she felt guilty for his reaction. Li An reached up, locking him in her embrace. "It's okay, son. Mum is safe." His hold tightened around her. He squeezed his eyes, nuzzling his face on her shoulder. "Oh dear, so sorry to have troubled you. It's okay now."

Li An gently patted his back. A full minute pa.s.sed before they broke their embrace. "I thought that show of affection would never end." The familiar voice was followed by a deep chuckle, prompting Ye Cheng to turn to the side and finally recognise the other presence in his mother's house. "Uncle Fong." Ye Cheng blinked. "You're here."

"Yes. I told him about the plate number," Li An added. She put her hand on her son's shoulder, drawing his attention to herself. "It was another dead end."
