CEO Vengeful Wife

Chapter 209: I will never let all the doors close on me

Jing Lihua didn't know what to say.

After finding out that her mother was a Heng, she had been shaken for so many days. It took her a long time to come in peace with reality and finally accept her new identity as a Heng.

And this man shrugged it off as if it was no big deal? He even called those idiots who wouldn't realize it? That to say Jing Lihua was an idiot for not finding out sooner?

Glancing up at Jing Lihua's glum expressions, Su Guozhai sighed. "Jing Lihua... have you ever wanted to get away from all of this?" His expressions were solemn. The motive behind his visit finally came out. 

Jing Lihua snapped out of her gloominess and looked into Su Guozhai's eyes, trying to comprehend his intentions. Yet, she could not find any evil intent in him. 

"I don't." She said her tone without any trace of reluctance. "Tang Enterprise is my responsibility. Looking after my friends and the family I care about is my responsibility. This is the place I have in the world. Why would I ever want to get away from all of this?"

Actually Su Guozha had once asked the same question from her in her last life. At that time, her response had been she would never leave Su Liwei. Su Guozha had tried really hard to get her to travel aboard and leave everything aside. But she did not agree with him.

What was the consequence? She was killed in the end.

Su Guozhai only went this far in her last life when Su Liwei had been planning a fatal move on her. So why did he come to her much earlier this time? Could it be Su Liwei was already on the move against her?

Hearing her response, Su Guozha sighed. She was stubborn. That was one of her good and bad qualities. "Fine, since you won't relent anyway and I can't force you, I won't mention this again. But remember what I have told you earlier at the Mealor Mansion. If you feel like all the doors have been closed on you, you can always come to me."

Jing Lihua was aware of this Su Guozhai power. He had risen to quite some high ranks in the military. After retiring, he had been hired as the Captain of a foreign private army. Thousands of soldiers were at his beck and call.

Jing Lihua's lips curled up into a smile. "I will never let all the doors close on me." Things would not end the way they had in her last life. In this lifetime, she had Li Zhiqiang by her side.

"Oh and between, Checkmate," said Su Guozhai all of sudden.

"Huh?" Jing Lihua had been too engrossed in the conversation that she even forgot to pay attention to the game. Now when she looked down, she had indeed been cornered by that sly man. Her face became

ugly. "You purposely tricked me! Captain Guozhai, as military personnel, where are your morals?"

 "There are in morals in war, Child. There is only victory."

Jing Lihua was unsatisfied with the result. "Another round then!" She won't settle before defeating this over confidant man.

And so the matches went on.

...

Mei Xiu as standing at a distance staring at the duo with interest in her eyes. 

Normally, she had never seen her President been so enthusiastic and casual with someone other than her grandfather and to some extent with Heng Bingwen.

But with Captain Su, after her divorce, logically speaking her connection should be severed with the Su household. Then why would Captain Su still visit her?

And what more? None of them even brought up the incident of the divorce as if it didn't change anything?!

"CHECKMATE!" 

Mei Xiu snapped out of her thoughts when she heard an excited voice.

The twenty-one time, the one who said this was not Su Guozhai but Jing Lihua. 

"Surely, you won." Su Guozhai looked tired. "Now, can you let this old man retire?" How could he have guessed the things would turn out like this? Jing Lihua would not let him off until she had won. He smiled internally. How similar the situation was to her mother? She would do the same when they were young.

"I told you, I would not lose to you." Said Jing Lihua, completely forgetting she had lost to him twenty times before finally managing to win.

"Sure! Sure!" Su Guozhai readily admitted his lose. If he didn't, he was certain Jing Lihua would not let him leave and drag him into another match. "Now can I leave?" It was funny that when he had first arrived, he was the one who had wanted to play. Now he was the one who had wanted to leave too.

"Surely you can. Captain Su." With self-satisfied expression, Jing Lihua said.

A small smile found its way to his lips as Su Guozhai noted her expressions. Before leaving, he left some final words for her: "Do not forget the words I told you." There was a subtle glimmer of sadness across his eyes as he looked back for the last time before leaving.

"President, this..." Mei Xiu finally said when the two of them were alone.

"You do not need to worry about him. He is not our enemy." At the corner of her lips, there were still remnants of a smile as she said. "Between, did you want me for something."

"Yes, President. while you were busy with Captain Su, your perso

nal phone had received a call from He Zhoyan," told Mei Xiu.

"Regarding what?"

"She wanted you to attend your sister's engagement party with Gu Ting."

Hearing this Jing Lihua paused. Then she laughed. "Since my Step Mother invited me with so much love, I should be attending shouldn't I?"

Surely, she shouldn't underestimate her little sister's seduction skills. So what if she no longer served his purpose and Su Liwei discarded her? Jing Tian was not going to sit still.

After all, the man with whom Jing Tian had gotten herself pregnant in Jing Lihua previous life was not going to be a simple one.
