Chapter 720: Unwanted But Wanted Call

**************

CHAPTER 720

Knowing the gravity of the situation. Considering her grandfather was well guarded yet they managed to slip in unnoticed, Bai Qing Mei knew this wasn’t simple.

“Do not forget, even if they wanted to scare you, they wouldn’t dare if they do not feel they have the means to back up the fight they are looking for.”

“Hmmm, my guess is it is Ye Cheng.”

“Be it Ye Cheng or not, even if you had evidence, we may be playing right into their hands. Let’s not give them the entire upper hand okay. It is time to play at their own game.”

“What would you do mother?”

.....

“Do not worry your lovely head. Leave it all to mom. I would make them pay for threatening my daughter.”

She did not know whether or not to feel at ease with such a statement from her mother. She was not new to business for her not to know that her mother was feared in the business world.

Give and take. She could be ruthless yet still be an angel, earning her the nickname, the ruthless angle.

She hated to be messed with and taken for granted but unlike her father, she was more righteous. Now though, Bai Qing Mei knew she may not take such a course this time.

“To beat the devil, you have to become the devil.”

With that, she ended the call and smirked. If they were going to result to scare in doing things, she did not mind handling it in that way.

‘Ye Cheng or not. I would have my revenge and save my family.’ She scooted her bag from the floor and took one long glance at the office before exiting it with confidence.

The second she did, a black figure came out of hiding and scoffed at her.

~Li Residence~

Ever since her father travelled, Li Xiu barely had any peace of mind. Her mother was always out to complain ad to make it worse, she would nag at every little thing she did.

On that particular night though, Li Xiu did not feel at peace with anything.

Usually, when such a thing occurred, she would call Duan Tian or even go over to his place and avoid her mother till she was calm enough to live with.

Now she had no one. It had been a long time since she saw him and honestly, she missed those days when they were together.

Letting out a deep sigh, she touched her ear pod, hoping to pause her music when she heard it dialling.

Her eyes went wide and she reached for her phone to check who it had automatically called.

“Bai Qing Mei!” Deciding she was going to end the call, she was about to click on the red icon when she heard Bai Qing Mei’s shaky voice.

“Hello?”

“Umm, huh... Qing Mei!”

“Do not call me on such base. We are not that close,” Bai Qing Mei corrected.

“Yeah. Sorry about that. How are you?”

“Is that the reason you called me at this time in the night?”

Li Xiu looked at her phone screen again. It was just 10 pm. What was so far into the night that she was complaining about?

If her ear pod had not done its own thing would she have had the misfortune of listening to her voice?

“Hey, I know it has been a little while but I was thinking, any crazy plans you have for getting back at Li Jing for what she did to us?”

“Are you mad? Did what you got in return not warn you?? It is like you are searching for ways to kill me, Li Xiu. I should have known this was all a scheme from you. You had people attack me and you call, feigning the good girl card. Now let me warn you. If you try me, I would put you down too.”

She blinked at her screen several times. She was unsure she was speaking to Bai Qing Mei but given her tone, there was no mistaking it.

“Bai Qing Mei! Let me warn you too. Just because you have more money than I do does not give you the right to speak to me that way. I called to genuinely ask about you even if you do not have ideas, I could ignore that bit not insulting and accusing me.”

As much as she knew she was wrong for pouring it out on Li Xiu who may in no way be close to the mastermind, her insecurities and fear got the best of her and she lashed out that way.

Sensing her wrong, Bai Qing Mei could not bring herself to apologise.

“Whatever.”

“Whate...” Li Xiu’s head sparked. Veins popped immediately at either side of her brain as her rage was immediately ignited.

She wasn’t used to people dissing her. Instead, she was the one always in control but since she met Bai Qing mei she gave in a lot of times for the sake of money to exact her revenge.

“Do not worry. Only time would tell whether or not I am the person after you. We share a similar enemy which was why you came to me. I may not know what you saw that gave you the impression but believe me, if I would come for you, you should know I would not cowardly do it.”

“Fine, but I do not have anything for you today. Till I do. I am not in the mood for unwanted calls at the moment.”

“Just because you have a bad day with Hao Huizhong doesn’t give you the right to yell at me. Anyways. Forget about any working relationship between us.”

She wasted no time in ending her call. It was a mistake anyways. She was the one who fell right into her own problem.

‘I should have ended the call and you know, sent an apology message but here I am, receiving the full brunt of a matter I know not of. It was unwanted but wanted. call. Now I know how she sees me.’

Li Xui let out a deep sigh and shook her head. “Why do I feel like I need to speak with that nuisance now? Perhaps I need a way to expel all this pent-up energy. I would call him and see.”
