Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 56

"What is his name?" Yin Lifen asked.
Li Jing could see the enthusiasm and anticipation in her friend's eyes and knew she would be dead shock from getting the answer.
As much as she did not want to put her in those shoes of leaving her stupefied, she knew better than anyone else that Yin Lifen would pester till she found out.
She always thought herself as tough and ready to handle whatever situation or news was thrown her way.
If only she knew het mind would never be able to phantom this, then she would not ask the inevitable.
"You cannot deny this one if you have found out? Tell me his name and I would check him up."
"I... "
"By the way," Yin Lifen interjected before she even had the chance to speak. "Where is he? How come you are allowing me to visit? Is it because he his not around? But he can't travel with an injury, right? Are you sure that guy isn't lying and is only trying to play with your body and heart?"
'Like seriously, how come this much rubbish is in her mind?' Li Jing complained in her mind.
"He is out of the house," she stated flatly to her friend before moving over with a tray containing cups with the juice and coffee.
'Here goes Yin Lifen again.. Sigh, if only you know. If only... "
Carefully she placed the tray on the table at the center of the living room and took two cups of coffee with her before heading for where Yin Lifen sat and handed her a cup before sitting down.
"I am listening." She took a sip and then fixed her gaze on Li Jing.
"Okay. Here goes nothing. Brace yourself."

"What's there to brace myself for? Unless he is my one and only crush, he is not worth the shock. I can take anything. Bring it on."
"Don't say I didn't warn you. His name is... "
Ring! Ring!
Both of their heads snapped to the side where the phone's ringtone was coming from.
Noticing which person's phone was ringing, Yin Lifen quickly locked the screen and shut her phone up.
"Sorry about that. You can continue."
"Isn't the call important?" Li Jing asked her.
"Nah, it is my grandmother, she dotes on me too much and probably wants to ask if I had taken breakfast. I would just call her back, later."
"If you say so. Now, where were we? His name... "
Ring! Ring!
"Oh come on!" Yin Lifen raised her hands in utter frustration and turned her head to look at Li Jing. "Don't tell me you are going to pick that call," Yin Lifen shot her friend a sharp don't you dare look, as Li Jing's hand was moving closer to where her phone was.
"It would be quick. It is important."
"Fine."
Getting her go ahead, Li Jing picked her phone and answered the call.
It was Tang Zixin who called, further shocking Yin Lifen when she heard her friend mention a name different from Luo Jinhai.
This was due to the fact that, Li Jing did not really have any close friends except for Luo Jinhai and herself, so where she she meet this guy?
"Hello, good morning Tang Zixin."
'Tang Zixin? Wait! Tang! The Tang, Omo... '
"Hello Li Jing. How are you?"
"I am fine. And you?"
"I am good. I called to find out if you would be free for lunch?"

Her gaze shot back to Yin Lifen as if waiting for approval. Rather she got a confused look from her friend.
"No. I have a friend over, can we make it tomorrow, please?"
"Sure, no worries. I would text you the location."
"Ah, thanks."
"Anytime. Have a splendid day."
"You too."
Beep! The call went dead and as soon as Li Jing dropped her phone, Yin Lifen scooted closer to her friend with a huge grin plastered on her face.
"Come on, don't leave me hanging. Who was that? Is it true that he is the Zixin, Tang Zixin, CEO of the Tang Group?"
"Hmm..."
"Oh my goodness. Yay, I am so happy for you."
Yin Lifen wrapped her hands around Li Jing pulling her into a tight hug.
"Pff, it is not as you think," Li Jing managed to say thought the tight hug she was getting.
"What do you lean by that? Isn't he the one who got injured?"
"No."
Slowly, Yin Lifen released her hold on Li Jing and moved back a bit.
"He isn't?" She shook her head before fixing her gaze back at Li Jing as though she wanted to dismiss the thought.
"Even if he isn't, he is quite the catch, baby girl. And was he just asking you out?"
"Long story, Fen fen. It is not as you think. This is just on a friendly basis."
"If you say so. At least I know you have a potential suitor as well."
Li Jing just rolled her eyes at her friend and sipped some more coffee.
'She never would change. Always hyper active.'
"Okay, I still haven't forgotten. Give me a name, babe... "
Ring! Ring!
"Oh come on, this is getting on my nerves," Yin Lifen lowered her gaze to her phone and saw who was calling. "Pardon me. I need to scream at someone."
"Feel free. I only pity who dares to disturb you."
The moment the call went through, Yin Lifen opened her mouth to speak but the words never left her mouth as she stared wide eyed, blankly ahead.
"Young Miss, your grandmother has been rushed to the hospital. She had a home accident," the caller informed her.
"What!"
"Yes. We are currently taking her to Special City Hospital. She wants you over."
"Got it. I would be there in a few minutes."
She dropped her phone from her ears and stood up.
Li Jing noticed the worried look on her face and knew all was not well.
"I am sorry Jing Jing. I have to hurry. It is about grandma. They are taking her to the hospital."
"Oh my God. I would come with you. Just wait let me get set."
"No need to bother yourself. You can come visit later. For now, I must hurry. Bye."
"Okay."
Dropping the coffee cup, Yin Lifen hurriedly left the condo unit.
