Chapter 145 Liu Xiangqing
"Mr. Ji," Ji Ling called out this unfamiliar name, and Ji Zhengxing's identity as her father completely disappeared. "I have connections in the Lu Group and my aunt's backing. How can you fight a war of public opinion with me?"
When he heard about the Lu Group, Ji Zhengxing's confident look collapsed, his thick eyebrows were tied into a knot, his lips were tightly closed, and his breathing made heavy sounds through his big nostrils.
"How did Liu Xiangqing get killed by the media? You saw it all, right?" Ji Ling held up three fingers and tapped the desktop. "She was scolded online for a week. You're more famous than her. I guarantee it won't last more than three days. You've maintained the image of a philanthropic entrepreneur who loves his wife, daughter, and family for many years. It's so tall, so majestic, like a pyramid..."
Ji Ling stared at Ji Zhengxing, whose face was as gloomy as water, and clenched his five fingers before exploding. "Your hypocritical good reputation will explode in your face like a balloon."
The daughter's provocations were getting more and more intense.
His dry but still strong hands clenched the armrests of the sofa, and blue veins bulged out on the back of his hands.
Those big hands once lifted Ji Ling high above his shoulders.
She once lay wild and happy on his shoulder, with an innocent smile on her face.
"Chairman Ji," Ji Ling swallowed back tears and tried her best to restrain herself, "Let's talk."
Coming out of the conference room, Ji Ling got what she wanted.
She transformed herself into an intern assistant to Chairman Ji, and was responsible for the production and sales of the smart home production line.
When the shareholders heard the news, half of them were indifferent, while the other half began to think that Old Ji had changed his personality and actually started to train his daughter.
In short, Ji Ling successfully squeezed into Zhengxing Group and gained a certain say.
Liu Xiangqing's life became particularly difficult.
Ji Zhengxing was in a cold war with her. He didn't show up and had no money.
My son has just been discharged from the hospital after a serious illness and needs additional nutrition.
She lost her job and lost contact with Liang Xin.
The money in hand was getting less and less. Ji Geng was not feeling well and could only whimper. He had to be held in his arms to comfort him. After only half a day, Liu Xiangqing was so tired that her back and waist ached.
She put the child on the sofa. Ji Geng whined and cried for his father, which was annoying to hear.
"Daddy—I want Daddy—"
Ji Zhengxing didn't answer the phone.
"Ji Zhengxing, fuck you!" Liu Xiangqing threw the phone and slapped the groaning Ji Geng in the face.
The echo of the phone hitting the marble still lingered in the air. Liu Xiangqing's hand was still frozen in mid-air, and red marks were left on her son's little face, burning with pain.
The blow was so hard that the skinny child fell on the sofa like a rag doll, with a dull thud on the back of his head.
Ji Geng was stunned for three full seconds before he opened his mouth and let out a thunderous cry. Tears and snot covered his face. His little hands tightly grasped the corner of his clothes as he looked timidly at his mother who seemed like a different person.
"Ouch—Mom…it hurts…"
Liu Xiangqing suddenly came back to her senses. Her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a hand, and the pain made her breathless.
She rushed over and hugged her son in her arms. Ji Geng's crying made her eardrums tremble, and the feeling of the swollen area on the back of his head made her feel cold all over.
She never dared to touch her son. It was all Ji Zhengxing's fault! It was Ji Zhengxing who harmed her and her son! He drove her crazy!
"I'm sorry, Xiao Mu'er, I'm sorry..." She apologized incoherently, her hands shaking. She wanted to touch but didn't dare. "It's mom who's crazy. Mom is not human..."
She wanted to slap herself twice, but when she saw her son's red eyes from crying, all her strength was gone.
Fatigue surged over her like a tide. She held Ji Geng in her arms and sat in the mess on the floor, patting his back and humming a tuneless lullaby. After nearly an hour of sobbing, the child finally fell asleep.
My son's thin little body was limp and his eyes were closed.
Liu Xiangqing couldn't hold her son to see if he had fallen or was hurt.
She wanted to take her son to the hospital for an X-ray, but she had no car and no family or friends to help.
Liu Xiangqing stared at the ceiling with despair in her eyes. For the first time, she felt that this "home" was like an airtight coffin.
Her thoughts went back to the night when Ji Zhengxing was drunk. Why did she have to help an old man sober up? And why did she hold him tightly after he sobered up, begging him humbly for just a little love?
What she wanted was never love. At first, it was for money and to be looked at with the same pampered eyes as Ji Ling.
It was not until she had Ji Geng that she had a reason to plunder everything from Ji Ling.
But today, she didn't even get any money.
She is unwilling to accept this.
My phone was broken and I can't make any calls at all.
She struggled to get up and looked for an old phone that could be used, but when she picked up her son's tablet, a push news popped up.
The exaggerated title hurt her eyes - "Ji Ling, the daughter of Zhengxing Group, officially joins Ji's company and works in the President's Office to learn from her father."
Entertainment news headlines are ferocious—Zhengxing Group’s eldest daughter has arrived, all demons and monsters should get out of the way!
In the photo, Ji Ling was wearing a haute couture suit, and her eyes showed a calmness and dignity that she had never had before. Standing next to her was the man who made her pregnant and gave birth to a child, and who also made her lose her job but who refused to even answer his phone calls.
What froze her blood even more was a sentence in the news: "President Ji said that his daughter's joining will inject new vitality into the group and she will strive to become an outstanding future successor..."
daughter?
Heir?
The eldest daughter who was raised in a greenhouse and waited for an arranged marriage, now joined his company and became the legitimate heir?
Who is Ji Ling? Who is Ji Geng?
What is the humiliation she endured in the past few years? !
A surge of anger rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Liu Xiangqing's eyes went dark and all the bones in his body were creaking.
She screamed suddenly, her voice as sharp as glass scratching iron.
"ah--!!!"
Ji Geng was awakened in bed, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his mother's hideous face.
Liu Xiangqing had lost her mind. Like a trapped beast, she pounced on everything in the bedroom. The dressing table was overturned, skin care products were shattered on the floor, quilts and pillows were torn and thrown against the wall, and the wardrobe door was kicked and made a clanging sound.
“Why?! Why the hell—!!”
Her howls, mixed with the loud noise of things breaking, echoed in the small room.
Ji Geng was so scared that he huddled in the corner of the bed, his face pale and his lips trembling so hard that he couldn't make a sound.
He looked at his mother's crazy look, and his little body suddenly began to twitch violently, his eyes rolled back, and he fell down limply.
"Little fungus?!"
Liu Xiangqing's movements suddenly stopped, and his blood instantly ran cold.
