CEO Vengeful Wife Chapter 159: Difficult to accept

Chapter 159: Difficult to accept

"Mom, just wait. One day I will also get back the Xu Manor for you. No one would be able to look down upon you again!"
At the apartment in Aunt Xu place, after getting the Chief Executive position, they had arranged for a small party. Only the family and those they considered close were present. Only Jing Lihua, Xu Baozhai, Heng Bingwen, and Mei Xiu were invited.
Glancing at her son happy expressions as he excitedly explained how he subdued all the people who used to look down upon them in the past, Xu Baozhao's heart welled up with happiness. What moved her heart was not the wealth and power they had gained in their hands.
But the happiness and the success her son achieved...
A mother would naturally want to see her son grow.
From this day onwards, he would no longer need to suffer the mockery of the people.
"To think that such a day would come, I could never have even dreamt about it. It is all thanks to President Jing..." Aunt Xu suddenly said, looking at Jing Lihua who was quietly taking a sip; deep sincerity sparked in her eyes.
"Aunt Xu, why are you treating me as an outsider? Even calling me President Jing... I liked it when you called me Xiao Jing." Jing Lihua complained.
Xu Baozhai chuckled. "I just can't... To think we have so many favors from you, I just feel we would never be able to make it up to you..."
You have already made it up to me in my last life...
You do not need to feel debted to me...
However, Jing Lihua couldn't explain that to her.
Following Jing Lihua's silence, the atmosphere tensed slightly.
At this point, Heng Bingwen barged into the conversation to lighten the mood. "Mom, what the hell?! You keep on praising President. But what about me? It was me who had worked non stop to get that eighteen percent shares! Why are you giving all the credit to her?" He blinked. "I deserve some praises too!"
"Shut up you brat! If not for her taking you to that will's hearing, would you have been able to get your shares?"
"That... But..."
"You better listen to her well in the future. If I ever hear that you misbehaved, I will whoop your ass!"
"Mom!" Heng Bingwen complained, burning red in embarrassment.
His mother was too casual in words.
Watching the mother-son pair bicker, Jing Lihua chuckled. At the same time, a faint longing emerged in her heart.
What if she had a mother...?
Would she be the same?
Showing her with love even in her scoldings?
She sighed.
"President..." Mei Xiu noticed something was wrong.
Jing Lihua quickly got rid of the sadness in her eyes. "Mei Xiu, you know why I brought you here today? From tomorrow onward Heng Bingwen is going to take a hold of
his office. Since the two of you get along well, I want you to take the responsibility of guiding him throughout. After all, he is still a kid and your experience is far much more than mine."
"Yes, President. I understand."
"But make sure not to appear in public with him. About him ruling over the Heng Software Limited, I do not want that fox to use the excuse of him collaborating with us to pin him down. About the other basics, you are already more experienced than me."
Jing Lihua glanced at Mei Xiu. Whatever she had learned in her previous life was all thanks to Mei Xiu. Mei Xi had once accompanied her grandfather to the height of the Tang enterprise. She was truly a gem picked up and nurtured by her grandfather, her most precious subordinate.
To leave Heng Bingwen in her hands Jing Lihua could feel assured.
Mei Xu nodded. After some time, Mei Xiu already started to discuss office matters with Heng Bingwen.
Jing Lihua picked up the dishes and walked into the kitchen. Finding Aunt Xu alone, Jing Lihua found an opportunity.
"Aunt Xu..." She started slowly. "You already know that I inherited twenty percent of shares..." She initiated.
Aunt Xu paused washing the dished implying that she was listening intentively.
"I also read the Elder Heng will he had left for me. He said my mother was actually... his daughter." Jing Lihua continued.
There hadn't been any blood tests conducted until now. For that, she would need Heng Bingwen's help. So before the actual tests, she wanted to confirm from all the sides first.
"So... Is that true?"
She glanced at Xu Baozhai and tried to read her expressions.
Xu Baozhai's expressions were conflicted.
After a moment of silence, she sighed. "It is true." She glanced at Jing Lihua. In her eyes there was a peculiar glint. "You are indeed related to our Heng family."
Jing Lihua was shocked. "If it was true then why hadn't you sought me out at the time Lang Lan suppressed you? If you had come to me, I would have certainly helped you."
"Elder Heng hadn't told anyone about his daughter. It was also by mere chance I came to know. At that time, he had made me promise that I would never tell this to anyone, not to even my husband or you. He wanted to protect you. Afterall in Tang enterprise, they put so much importance on the bloodline." Xu Baozhai looked up at Jing Lihua. "If you are truly Elder Heng granddaughter, how could I endanger you?"
Jing Lihua was shocked speechless.
There are also these kinds of people in the world.
While at the door, another person was shocked speechless.
"How can this be? I never expected this..." Heng Bingwen had his one feet inside the kitchen while other feet outside. His hands holding a stack of plates. "All the time I had been assuming that the President used her power to get these sh
ares to help me. But in reality, she was actually a Heng? She is... my cousin?"
Today he had wanted to inquire the President about this matter wit shares inheritance
Instead, this was what he was heading to the kitchen for.
But when the truth was suddenly pulled forth, he couldn't bring himself to believe.
President Jing was someone he admired, respected, feared. All in all, she was like a mentor, a teacher. Someone, he would look up to for motivation, a great role model.
Someone as great as her to think that he was related to her by blood, of course, Heng Bingwen found it difficult to accept.
