CHAPTER 631
“Yes. With you gone we can look for ways to make this different. He would be tasked with covering up your mess and making the company’s turn over yield even more profits. I would not sit back but I would pay as well.”
At this point, Ye Sheng really knew he had lost the battle. Li An came out him really strongly and there was nothing he could do.
“Also, you would be putting in all your money, all your investment in his name to make up for what you have taken.”
“But I…” He wanted to plead his case but Li An wasn’t having any of that. He had done something wrong and was only natural he made up for it, in whatsoever way.
“I am really sorry but hear me out,” he let out quickly before she could stop him again.
“Hear what? Haven’t I tried already? I should be locking your sorry ass in prison now and not looking back yet you want to say what?”
“I still need money for something.”

Both Li An and Ye Cheng were dumbfounded. Even at this point in time he just could not stop being shameless for once.
Asking for money now when he should be ploughing all of his resources into the business.
Letting out a deep breath Li An shifted her weight on one leg where she stood while crossing her arms and waiting to hear the rubbish he was going to utter next.
“Go ahead. Speak. Just throw it all to me. Hit me with what you’ve got and it had better be worth my time.”
“Once again, I can only plead with you to calm down and hear me out. Recently as you might have already been aware, Hao Huizhong, Ye Cheng’s former friend came.”
“Wait, the Hao Huizhong that stole from the company?”
“Mum.” She cast a cold glance his way shutting Ye Cheng up involuntarily.
He had wanted to ask how she knew about that considering he tried his best covering it up but the cold gaze he got, he knew better than to speak lest she lashed out at him for not doing anything back then.
“Yes, Hao Huizhong.”
“Go on,” she urged him and waited for the maddening news to arrive.
“Well you see. He came claiming that he,” taking a pause, Ye Sheng looked over at his son, before returning his gaze to his wife. “That he was or he is my son.”
“Hahhaaaa, another scandal. Why am I not surprised, Sheng? Since when?”
“What? I don’t get you?”
“You do not get me huh,” she stood properly and itched closer to him daringly. “You said Hao Huizhong came with a claim. I am asking since when have you lied to me and have been cheating in me, huh Ye Sheng?!”
“Li An honey, please it isn’t that way.”
“Do not honey me. Hao Huizhong is older than Ye Cheng by months and yet you are telling me it is not that way?” She shook her head, her rage was hitting her strongly.
“Honestly. Yes I know I have done you wrong Li An but I was in love with you.”
“You were, such a lovely use of past tense. You know what, forget it. It is obvious that you have been cheating on me since even before our wedding. So what excuse do you have to give?”
“Yes, I did you wrong and I cannot deny it. I cheated on you but I am sorry. In my defense, it was just once and after that, I did not do so again until after the death of your best friend.”
“She is not dead,” Li An spat angrily. Whenever it came to her friend, she could go ballistic on anyone. “She is not dead. They are not, I believe so and either you do or you shut up.”

For a split second Ye Sheng and Ye Cheng were shocked at her outburst. Whenever it came to her best friend, his mother was like that.
It looked like a rage was set ablaze in her and an unknown fire burned deep within her eyes. Ye Cheng took a step forward he needed to go comfort her before things really got out of hand.
But the second he got to where she was, she glared at him. “Don’t butt in my love. This is between your father and I, he needs to know things are not. Okay and the fact that I have kept quiet since doesn’t mean he can just ride on me or you for that matter.”
“You need to know. I am not riding on anyone. I love you. I am sorry for mentioning that about your friend but Li An if no one would dare tell you because they are scared, I would.” She shifted her glare to him.
He really was pushing his luck wasn’t he?
Ignoring her glares, Ye Sheng spoke up. “She is but a friend and we were your family. Yet you abandoned us for her. You forgot us. Did you feel like we did not matter?”
“You did matter.”
“No. I doubt that. I needed you, I needed you and also did your son. The first time it happened it was a mistake I swear. I felt terrible when it happened and I came home feeling useless but what did I find with my wife? You were still glooming over her and even when I went to you to plead, you pushed me away telling me to leave you alone if I wanted. How do you think that was for me. I know I am no saint but you failed me as well and your believed son. He needed his mother, I needed my wife!”
Li An’s eyes shut close as the pain surged through her. She knew she did them wrong but she was struggling too and she needed help but she couldn’t get it. Her mind felt like going out of place.
She was the sole witness to what happened.. It shocked her but there was nothing she could do and she lost her friend right before her eyes.
