CEO Vengeful Wife-Chapter 152: This Great Devil... How can he be so cute

"Take pity on this old man. Don't you think this is enough for a day?"

Jing Lihua: "..." She was the one who had to hear the truth and endure it. Her grandfather knew about everything all along! But now he was acting like a victim?

Later, no matter how hard Jing Lihua tried to make him drop some clues about his lost son, her grandfather didn't budge. Her grandfather was a stubborn man. if he was bent in doing something, it was useless to force him otherwise.

With dejection, she could only give up. She accompanied him until nightfall. Getting out of his room, she called the farmhouse Butler. "Uncle Shu, please take good care of grandfather." Jing Lihua said with deep concern lacing her tone. "Grandfather likes to act tough but I know he is suffering from diabetes. Without proper care, it might end up harming him badly."

"Don't be anxious Xiao Lizi. Elder Tang's health has been very good recently. It is all because of you." Butler Shu said with a smile.

"Because of me?"

"Yes. Before you took hold of the Elder's business, not only he had to look after the company, but also he would constantly be worried that you won't be able to stand up to all the treacherous backstabbers. However... After taking hold of the office, the way you handled things, turned out to be totally unexpected. Elder Tang was so happy that he wouldn't believe you are the same granddaughter. Each of your steps, Elder Tang had been keeping a close eye upon you. Young lady proved herself to be worthy of the position of the Tang enterprise President and this ended housemaster's qualms. Once the weight of your responsibility lifted from his shoulders, he naturally started taking good care of himself."

Hearing this, Jing Lihua was both happy and sad. 'In my last life, I had indeed worried my grandfather a lot. But this time, I won't let that repeat.'

Jing Lihua walked into the backyard. It was nightfall. In the countryside, twinkling stars could be observed clearly as they decorated the sky. Jing Lihua walked to a certain ornamental tree. Placing her hand over it, a certain memory from her childhood flashed into her mind.

It was the place where she had asked her grandfather why her mother had named her Jing Lihua.

"Why did my mother name me Lihua? Lihua means pear blossoms, it symbolizes spring. New hope and beginning. It was because I was a new hope for her." Jing Lihua smiled faintly standing under that ornamental pear tree studded with white blossoms. "Grandfather said it was my mother who had planted this tree." Jing Lihua bent her knees and leaned her back against the tree's trunk. Staring into the night for a while, she closed her eyes. "At that time I was in my mother's stomach, she had married that Jing Shangaan. Obviously, my mother's will wasn't into that marriage. How could she have not known she would be couldn't stay happy with that Jing Shangaan. At that time, I was born. She named me Lihua. I gave her new hope... to continue living."

"But the question is why did my mother have to marry Jing Shangaan. She

obviously didn't like him. She even ended up rejecting the one she loved to marry him." Jing Lihua thought over it and came up with a conclusion. "Was it because she had fallen pregnant with me that she had to part with her lover, Su Guozhai? Was it all because to hide me?" 

Jing Lihua thought of countless scenarios. And if the reports were correct and she was indeed both a Tang and a Heng then her father had to be her grandfather's son. 

"Too complicated. I can't say with certainty without confirming the facts once again..."

At that time, her phone beeped with a notification sound.

 A light green text message popped on the screen. "Where are you?"

Who could it be other than Li Zhiqiang? Jing Lihua laughed softly.

"I wonder why President Li asked? Doesn't he always monitor my every movement? How come he doesn't know where I am?" Jing Lihua replied back with a smirk. 'Huh! Trying to fool me with these words? He thinks I don't know other than Wang Yi, countless people he had to follow me everywhere.'

Bring caught openly, unexpectedly to Jing Lihua, Li Zhiqiang didn't even try to deny it. Instead...

"That's alright but... Can't you tell? I was just finding an excuse to chat with you."

"..."

"That monitoring for your own safety, JingJing. I don't want what happened with the Wu family to repeat. I don't want to endanger you because of me. After all, the list of people who want to separate us is no way short."

"President Li can do whatever he wants. Who am I to object to his decisions?" Jing Lihua texted back. However, within her heart, she felt a surge of warmth. 

"Does that mean President Jing is giving me the liberty to do whatever I want? However, President Jing, let me warn you, you have no idea about the things I really want to do."

'He is back at it again.' Jing Lihua laughed lightly. Playing along with him, she texted back. "I am curious. What are the things that the great President Li really wants to do but haven't done it by now?"

"Hmm... How about this? Next time we meet, I personally demonstrate those things to you..." Li Zhiqiang's text followed an evil emote.

Looking at that, Jing Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. First, she had strange expressions on her face, a moment later, she ended up laughing loud.

"This Great Devil..." She sighed. "How can he be so cute?"

While Jing Lihua was busy bickering with Li Zhiqiang, her grandfather had already woken up. He had walked to the balcony and glanced down at his granddaughter sitting against the pear tree. There were complicated emotions in his eyes. 

"Xiao Lizi, I made a mistake by agreeing to marry into the Su family." There was an aggrieved look on his face. "At that time, I did it for the Tang bloodline. But who knew it would bring you so much pain? Luckily, you have already seen through them. If I knew

beforehand that things would be like this, I would never have agreed to this marriage."

Tang Liuwei was once the President of Tang enterprise after all. Under his supervision, the Tang enterprise had once topped in the whole of Beijing. 

The reason behind the enterprise decline was because of his declining health, he hadn't been able to look after the things well enough. Besides, the enemy this time was someone he couldn't have suspected.

After Jing Lihua had taken in the office, he had kept an eye on her moves.

From her actions against Su enterprise, he had finally learned about the truth and... the Su family conspiracies.
