Chapter 331 - Get Maried

CHAPTER 331

"Ma’am please you need to leave," Han Qing Qing politely spoke. She waited for some seconds but Fang Qiuyue did not budge. Letting out a soft sigh, she took another step forward and helped her turn, escorting her out of the office.

As soon as the door closed, Ye Cheng dropped the document in his hands and leaned back against his chair.

He could not understand why he got so easily irritated these days. It wasn’t like he could not just ignore her but the mere sight of her, made him angry.

Was it because he could no longer trust girls anymore? Or was it due to the fact that even as innocent as Li Jing was, even she could hurt him?

Or was it because, he now hated girls of Fang Qiuyue’s caliber or better still, was it due to the fact that his heart still burned for Li Jing and being in denial, he could not show it or accept it, so he took his frustration out on anyone and everyone.

Regardless of which was right, he was a mess on the inside and he knew it. He used to be in better control of his feelings but now, every little thing annoyed and irritated him.

It did not take up to two minutes after his door shut close when he got a call. Looking at it, he sighed and turned his phone around.

Apparently the call cut but it began to ring again.

He knew the kind of person the caller was. He was one to keep disturbing till he got an answer. Taking in a deep breath, he turned his phone around and answered it.

"Ye Cheng! Ye Cheng! How dare you do such a thing? Huh? How could you do such a thing?"

"I am sorry father, but you would have to speak clearly."

"What do you mean by that? Are you not aware of what you just did or who you just threw out of your office?" Ye Sheng questioned. "Is that anyway to treat your fiancé?’

"She is not my fiancé. I have none. And this should be the last time either of you make reference to that word."

"Ye Cheng you stubborn..."

"Father, if you do not have something better to say, I still have some work to do."

"Ye Cheng, if you dare to cut the call! Fine, since you want me to push you thus, then I will. I give you one week to get married to.."

"No."

"Yes. It is either you get married or else I would strip you of your CEO title and rights."

"You cannot do that. Do not threaten me with what you do not have the right over."

"I can and I will. I only agreed because of your mother. I can go back on my words and take it."

"I own most of the shares in the company."

"And that is because Li An gave you hers and a part of mine. Do not make me ask the stakeholders to vote against you. Do not forget you recent attitude has not been very welcoming. So think carefully son. You would lose this battle."

"I won’t."

"You have one week to get married to her. No excuses whatsoever."

"Father."

"It is the best business deal for you and the company and if you are a true CEO, you would not be selfish with what is best for the company."

"Father no, you cannot..."

"There is nothing more to say. Think carefully on what I have said and better start treating her well. Besides, do not make me bring back your mother to live in the house. I can still choose not to sign the divorce papers for her."

Before Ye Cheng could protest further, he heard the beep signifying that the call had ended.

"Aarrghh! Damn it!" He threw his phone against the wall instantly before getting up from his seat.

There was a lot of things at stake there. First his position as the CEO of the company, next was his freedom and that of his mother’s.

All through his life, he knew the pain hos mother was in and why she became who she was today. She had asked for a divorce at first but withdrew it.

She wanted her son not to have that stigma of his parents being divorcee and so she had to bear in the marriage but when he was coming of age, matters became worse and that was when she filed for a divorce again.

This time, she stood the risk of losing Ye Cheng if she did, so Ye Sheng used that against her and refused to sign the divorce papers but not being able to stand him again and subsequently left the family and went abroad.

She had no choice but to leave Ye Cheng behind, so that he alone would inherit his father’s wealth and to ensure that, she gave him all her shares and part of his father’s.

It was the agreement they had so that she could go but would not divorce him. To Ye Sheng, being divorced would do poorly for his company and his image, so he was ready to come to terms with her just to keep that in line and that was what they did.

historical

Now he was threatening their son with it. He knew how much Ye Cheng loved his mother and he knew that Ye Cheng knew what he was capable of.

He was like a true devil in disguise, the one whom Ye Cheng took a part of his coldness from.

"Fine, if it is marriage you want, then be prepared father. I would not lose to you."

All through that morning, entering afternoon, Ye Cheng was very much easily irritated and he cancelled all of his appointments that day.

His brain was looking for a way out of his predicament and he did not think he could handle clients. While is brain was suffering, his heart was aching as well.
