CHAPTER 191

"Wait, no. I cannot do that. It would only make my company look like a huge joke Yu Xaiowen’s eyes widened when he heard what Mr Kang said.

"HAHHAA! Your actions itself proves to be suspicious."

historical

"What do you mean?" He looked confused by the words Mr Kang was saying.

"Relax, I would break it down for you. You are trying to play being the victim when in fact you are nothing like that."

"That is not true. I am the victim in all these."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"I am glad you think that way. You see, Mr Yu Xiaowen, you are a cunning sly fox. There is no how you would tell me that the Duan Enterprise could produce such a tremendous business idea. If they could, why didn’t they use it to raise their company? Why did they need to sell the idea to you instead?"

"Because they know that in time when our company grows, they can also be one of the biggest companies."

"Do I look like a joke to you? Which company in its right mind would do such a business? Why run at such loss? Why wait for future to hit it big when you can implement it and seek for investors and become big yourself?"

"I did not think it through."

"Okay, let us say you are right and you did not know. I would answer it for you. It was because it was a stolen idea and not one brought out by their company themselves and they did not want the problem of theft to be on their company’s head, making you the scape goat while still gaining recognition and using to hit the top."

Mr Yu Xiaowen’s eyes narrowed even more. He could not believe he was the one who was used so much.

"If you were indeed a clean man, you would have questioned their motives behind giving you that but in actual fact you did not care. Which further proves my point of you being a fraud. It shows that is how you get your business plans."

While that may have entirely not been through or that they never thoughts things through in the way Mr Kang did, things were exactly as he outlined it.

Both parties were used. While Yu Xiaowen thought he was using Duan Tian, Duan Tian was using him and still laying his doom.

Apparently, they never thought things through and think that Ye Cheng would retaliate. Their miscalculations as Li Jing had rightly said.

"I am sorry. Please."

"I am afraid things are too late for an apology to fix. Withdraw the business plan and maybe Ye Cheng would let it slide with just a warning or you could go to prison for being an accomplice for a theft case."

"No. You cannot do this."

"You still don’t get it, do you? You have lost already."

So after Mr Kang dealt Mr Yu Xiaowen his own blow, he also withdrew his investment from the Li business as well.

Mr Yu who felt cheated and played was more than angry at his ill fate and how well his company was going to drop having one of the most prominent businessmen, withdraw from his company.

What Mr Kang had done by outlaying the whole problem out to him was to make him think that Duan Tian played him, knowing full well that the latter was far too dull to even think of crossing a prominent business man like that.

Using his brain to think these through was also his punishment for yelling at Ye Cheng and threatening to pull away from business deal with him.

That was his punishment so he choose not to go easy on either of them as well as they almost caused him so much.

He was even more disgusted with Li Xiu and her devilish behavior. It was like there was no end to her wickedness. First she took credit for the work and now she steals it.

He was sure going to make small companies like hers that thinks they can climb up the ladder with being dubious.

The news had just gotten to Li Xiu about Mr Kang suddenly pulling away from their company.

She felt her world crash suddenly. He was her one hope to rising up. She felt if she could pull off a deal with him, then she could try getting other business people to invest as well.

Now all her plans suddenly went to ruin and she was already expecting her father back in a couple of days. What was she going to show him about how she managed the business while he was away?

How was she going to prove to him that Li Jing’s absence wouldn’t be missed in the company with her being around?

Her mind was so full now that she felt like pulling her hair out. She had just finished speaking with her P.A about the problem.

"Aissshhh!" She threw her glass of wine in her hands against the wall in anger. Just when her celeb ration was still ripe, this rubbish happens?

"Li Jing! Just why would you not let me enjoy my celebration for once? Must you ruin my life with your interference?"

She began to pace and ruffle her already scattered hair. "No, no, no, no!"

"Li Xiu, what is wrong?" Ding Jiaying asked rushing into the living room.

She was in the kitchen supervising what the maids were doing when she heard the shattering of the glass cup.

"Mother," her eyes teared up instantly upon seeing her darling dubious predecessor mother.

"Xiu darling, what happened? Who soiled your precious mood? You were celebrating our success just now, so why this?" she pointed at the tears rolling down her daughter’s cheeks.

"Mother." Those were the only words she could say before her legs gave way and she sat on the tiles ground.

"Oh my, Li Xiu!" Ding Jiaying called out and hurried to her daughter’s side.

"Mother, what should I do to Li Jing. She should just get out of my life already."
