Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 220 - Li Chun And Ding Jiaying's Quarell

CHAPTER 220

"She is gone. She is gone! Leave my daughter alone." Ding Jiaying yelled at her husband.

"What?" Did he just hear well? Was what she said true? His eyes shone with surprise as he stared at the mother and daughter duo standing before him.

"Yes. It is as I said. She is gone, Li Chun."

"You jest," Li Chun spat back sharply and turned around. He wasted no time in racing upstairs in search of his adopted daughter. "Li Jing!" He called her name louder this time but there was no response.

"Li Jing! Li Jing! Come out, father is back, Li Jing."

Still the same thing. No reply.

His heart had begun to race wildly in his chest. No, this was not happening. "Li Jing!" He called out for the last time when he got to her room door before turning the k.n.o.b and pushing it open.

To his dismay, her room was clear with no sign of anyone living in it anymore except for the still made bed. His eyes darted to and fro in the room, hoping for something, a cue that she remained.

After about a minute of scanning the room and finding nothing, Li Chun pulled out his phone from his pocket to call Li Jing.

"The number you have dialed is switched off."

His eyes widened in horror. It felt like a dream for all this to be happening. He left home for some months and his whole family had turned into a perfect mess.

"The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again…" Li Chun did not wait to hear the rest of it and clicked on the red icon, ending the call.

The horror of his life shone brightly in his eyes and for the second time in his life, he knew what they called real and true fear.

Without a minute to waste, he took to his heels, running out the door and down stairs to meet this wife and daughter.

Meanwhile, as soon as Li Chun left the living room and ran upstairs in search of Li Jing, Ding Jiaying pulled her daughter into her arms and hugged her close.

"Look at him run, looking for a so called adopted daughter, leaving his own biological child behind. Has he forgotten that you are his heiress?"

"Mother." She clutched on her mother's clothes tighter as the tears she had been fighting back flowed out freely.

Indeed she met her match today and all her pain resounded in her ears especially after her father ran off and did not mind screaming at her all because of Li Jing.

"Shh, my baby, it is okay."

"What are we going to tell him about why Li Jing left, mother?" Left for Li Xiu, her brain had become a blank slate. All these usually happened when was dealing

"Leave that to me, Li Xiu. Let momma handle it."

In no time, they Li Chun's voice again calling out their names and Ding Jiaying sighed, as she got ready for what was to come.

"Ding Jiaying! Where are you?" He arrived at the living room with eyes blazing with untold fury. "Where did she go to? Why did no one inform me of her disappearance, huh?"

"If you were home, then perhaps you would have stopped her yourself. Why put the blame on me?" Her once stern and daring face turned soft immediately as she faked being sad just to get her husband's pity.

"Who is blaming you now? I am asking a simple question and you are hear telling me not to blame you. Who else should I blame? If I am not at home, who else should the responsibility of taking care of the home and children fall on?"

Ding Jiaying could not produce an answer as she knew she just dug her pit herself. She had hoped he would fall for her quirks and feel guilty like what normally happens before but to her dismay, he wasn't moved one bit and changed the whole thing for her.

"Answer me!"

"She decided to leave on her own and as a mother I did not see the need to stop her as she had grown up into an adult and can live her life by herself."

"d.a.m.n it Jiaying. Do you know what you have done?"

"What wrong have I done, Li Chun? Li Chun answer me," Ding Jiaying pulled Li Xiu from her arms and faced her husband.

Now two hot heads were standing face to face, in a daring eye contest. Who would win?

"Was I a bad wife when you suddenly showed up from your journey one day with an unknown child and asked me to take her in that you adopted her? Was I a bad mother that I had to share all that belonged to my flesh and blood with the child of some unknown mistress of yours, huh?"

"Jiaying, that has nothing to do with where she is," Li Chun said in a warning tone.

"Oh d.a.m.n right it has. All I have ever done is be a loving mother to someone else's daughter. Did you for once check in with me what I thought about it or you just shoved her well being into my hands? Wasn't I good enough for allowing you rub your infidelity in my face and watch as the fruit of your cheating grow up?"

No sooner as she said that than a hot slap resounded in the living room.

POW!

"Mother!" Li Xiu could not believe just how bad things had escalated. "Father." He had just hit

"If you do not know how to talk, then perhaps my hand would teach you how to."

"Father!"

Li Chun ignored Li Xiu and remained focused on his wife. "I never cheated on you, Jiaying. All I ever did was adopt a child who needed a home."

"Did I ask you for a child? Wasn't the one I had enough? And now you query me for letting her leave, wow! Leave my daughter and I out of it!"
