Chapter 60 - I want you to find me.

Jing Lihua looked away abashed at what had she just said. She had been so lost in the moment that she didn't realize what had slipped her tongue. She coughed and quickly said. "I'm still married. Don't get your hopes up."

Li Zhiqiang didn't say anything but Jing Lihua could feel his happiness lingering in the air. She went back to staring into the city not knowing what to say. She mentally slapped herself and decided not to let herself lose again.

"The city looks even better from the terrace of the sunset square apartments"

"It might. But we'll have no way to know. The place is off-limit to the public. It is the private territory of the Li family."

"If you wish, I can take you there."

"You can?" Jing Lihua stared at him. In response, he smiled.

Suddenly an idea struck Jing Lihua. "Do you have any acquaintance with President Li?" The more Jing Lihua thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. "Are you some distant relative of the prestigious Li family?" It explained why he was able to afford a penthouse at Sunset Square apartments. It also explained the reason he could easily get a room adjacent to her at such short notice. Maybe he had come here to accompany President Li to the fashion show.

Surname 'Li' was very common so Jing Lihua hadn't come up with this speculation before. But she also knew that the prestigious Li family of Hong Kong didn't have any relatives. It was only the parents, grandparents and the Li brothers. Maybe he was an illegitimate who was kept hidden from the world. Jing Lihua didn't ask the question in fear that she might hurt his feelings.

"Maybe. Maybe not."

"You like to keep yourself a mystery, don't you?" Jing Lihua felt like the silent, cold man was slowly opening up in front of her.

"Maybe I want you to find out for yourself who I am."

"I will."

...

When Jing Lihua returned to the Hall, the fashion show was already done. The most successful role was played by Zhao Liying. After their scheme failed, for some reason, Su Lanfen lost her confidence. And confidence is everything in modeling.

"Serves her right." Jing Lihua congratulated Zhao Liying. Mo Liang was being surrounded by his admirers. President Li was nowhere to be found. It seemed like Jing Lihua missed the opportunity. Jing Lihua had asked Mei Xiu to arrange another official meeting with this President Li. So she would have a chance soon enough.

When Jing Lihua walked her way back to her room, she spotted Jing Tian standing in her way. Her presence here only meant more trouble for Jing Lihua.

"What do you want?"

"Don't think you have won today." Jing Tian voice was dark.

Jing Lihua frowned and looked around. Now, what was her little sister up to. "I've won in many places. Do tell me what specific situation are you referring to?" Earlier that day Jing Lihua had noticed her sister fawning around Su Lanfen. But Jing Lihua never considered Jing Tian as a potential threat so she didn't even bother to worry over what she was up to.

Jing Tian flared up but she kept her calm. She was here to anger Jing Lihua, not to lose it herself. "Haha. Everyone knows. Your husband stays in a separate room and you stay in this room. What face are you left with to keep talking to me?"

"Does that have anything to do with you?"

Jing Tian realized Su Liwei's name was not working so she used an alternative approach. "You know what? I still remember your mother. She was just like you. Shameless and a coward. They said she had an affair even after her..."

"If you don't want to regret it for the rest of your life, you will shut up." Jing Lihua's voice was dead cold.

Jing Tian felt a chill but she gritted her teeth to get over her fear. "Haha. I still remember the day we found her burnt to death. You have no idea how happy we were. Finally, we got rid of that obnoxious woman. Karma gets back at everyone. She was a s.l.u.t and God punished her for..."

"Shut up!"

"Remember how you were pathetically crying over her dead body begging for her to return. So disgusting. Ever since that day, you disgust me to..."

Before she could complete Jing Lihua raised her hand and slapped her hard across her face.
