38: Worried vs Enthusiastic Yin Lifen

Worried vs Enthusiastic Yin Lifen

CHAPTER 380

"Whoever told you, you were free, Li Jing? Do you think that the selfish sister of yours would ever let you go free? She would look for more ways to make your life miserable, which is why I said to come and stay with me. I can protect you from them."

Yin Lifen had always been like that, the mother hen watching jealously over her and protecting her. Li Jing needed to be free and free from all of their protection and live life on her own.

She was not afraid of what her mother and sister would do to her, she was ready for them. She would no longer sit idly by and watch as they humiliate and make a mess of her life.

She would rise and make them pay, one way or the other.

"I know, but I would be fine. I would let you know when and if I need your help." Li Jing did her best to put up her trademark smile to help ease the tension in Yin Lifen's heart and surprisingly it worked.

She knew her friend could not say no to her when she smiled that way. It was her triumphant card. Too bad it would never work on those she-devils called her adopted mother and sister.

"Okay, if you say so. Now tell me, where are you staying? I want to come and check it out and do a sleepover with you. It's been ages."

The worried Yin Lifen became enthusiastic again, throwing away her mother-hen self and bringing out her playful self, leaving Li Jing without any words at all.

"Hey, Li Jing. Do not say no to me. Think of this as compensation for making me worry over you. Then you can tell me about what you were doing with Luo Jinhai and all the exciting things you talked about."

Li Jing who was still in a state of shock and confusion did not say anything. She was confused because she did not know how she was going to tell her friend she could not let her stay with her and the reason why.

Knowing Yin Lifen, she would most definitely not let her hear the end of it. She, the innocent Li Jing having a man at home… whoa, isn't that the news of the year?

"Li Jing!" Yin Lifen half screamed into her face and shook her hands to get her friend's attention.

Unfortunately, as she shook the latter, something fell off the chair close to where Li Jing was seated.

Till now, Yin Lifen did not see or notice Li Jing's office box because Li Jing pulled it close to her and under the table with only half of it on the chair and the other half her thigh supported it.

That and coupled with the fact that there was a table cloth on top of the table, Yin Lifen had no clue something was there.

She had seen the slight protrusion when she hugged Li Jing, but the table cloth was over it so she just ignored it and thought perhaps her friend bought some supplies for her new place and pushed the thought away.

Her eyes followed the sound and her head tilted towards what had fallen down. She would never have thought that was Li Jing's office documents and personal belongings.

She returned her gaze back to her friend. Li Jing finally moved and began packing her things back into the box.

Since her secret was out, she kept the box well on the next seat.

"Explain." That was the only thing that came out of Yin Lifen's mouth as she stared at her friend with narrowed eyes.

Li Jing took a deep breath and exhaled sharply, closing her eyes to mimic the motions of her breathing.

"I resigned and they kicked me out of the company."

"Li Jing doesn't have the right to do that. What of your father? What did he say? I know he wouldn't let that happen."

"He is currently on a business trip. No one knows when he would be back, so Li Jing has full authority to do as she likes since father is the only one who can cub her and clip her wings."

"Why haven't you informed him?" Yin Lifen asked her friend, her worried expression suddenly returning.

"And have him make me stay? No. This is a blessing in disguise. I was going to resign anyway. There is too much bad energy and vibe in that company. They all think I am going after Li Xiu's fiancé."

"Okay. It is good then. Oh, my baby has gone through so much. Come let momma give you a big hug," Yin Lifen said, opening her arms for a hug and gesturing for Li Jing to come in.
