Chapter 101 - Gave Birth To A Failure
*********
CHAPTER 101
Just like that, Li Jing was tempted to message Ye Cheng and inform him about the news but knowing full well that it involved him and just who he was, she was sure he must have seen the news.
Rather than be all bothered about it, Li Jing decided to ignore it. At least, for now, no one knew who she was except those who heard Duan Tian and Li Xiu call her name.
Everyone knew better than to lick the name out, except they wanted their business deals with the top-notch business to be cut off.
Meanwhile, Li Xiu returned from the party that Friday night looking all too frustrated and angry. In anger, Duan Tian left her alone and went off to drink his misery away.
What was he going to tell his grandfather that because he annoyed the wrong person, they had lost all their top deals?
He did not need Ye Cheng to state it as well, as he knew the latter would not fail to fling him out and if they lose their collaboration with Dream Star Corporation's oil deal, then they were done for.
Once other businesses find out that Dream Star had dropped from their partnership with them, they would soon start dropping out as well.
Most of them did it as a way to show their allegiance to the big sharks in the business world.
It was just like when fans go beserk on those who badmouth their idols. So it was here as well.
At the end of it all, after swallowing the mega embarrassment of being thrown out, Li Xiu boarded a cab that took her home and stormed into her father's residence.
Up until that Sunday, Li Xiu did not hear a word from Duan Tian as he did not call to apologize for leaving her behind and she never called to apologize for his company's loss.
So when she saw the news, it was her mother that was the first to report it to her.
"Li Xiu! Li Xiu!" Ding Jiaying's hysterical voice resounded in the hallway and only grew louder with each step she took.
"Li Xiu." She was already by her daughter's door when she called out the last time and pushed the door open only to see her daughter lying down without any care in the world.
"Li Xiu!" She called out again, loud and clear when she noticed her daughter did not move an inch from where she lay quietly on the bed.
'This stubborn owl. She has been like this since her party. What really happened that day?' Ding Jiaying asked.
All through her stay at home, she was too embarrassed to recount what had transpired at the birthday party.
Being the caring mother that Ding Jiaying was, she decided to let her daughter be and hoped she would come around later and tell her what happened.
And since Li Xiu was not answering her, she moved towards the table in her daughter's room, picked up the remote control and put on the television.
The first thing their ears were greeted with was the trending news about Ye Cheng mysterious lady.
As soon as Li Xiu heard that, she jolted up from her sleeping position and faced the television. Her eyes shot wide open and her mouth was agape at the way the news and reporter described Li Jing.
"Li Xiu, can you explain to me why Li Jing was at Mr Yu Xiaowen's birthday?" Ding Jiaying asked out of the blue, pulling her daughter from whatever stupor she found herself in.
Slowly, Li Xiu turned her gaze to her mother and her expression suddenly turned sour. "And how am I supposed to know, mother?"
"Why won't you know? Weren't you at the same party as her?" Ding Jiaying spat back at her daughter.
She did not understand her daughter's behaviour these days and it was getting out of hand already.
The next thing she knew, Li Xiu's eyes narrowed and a sharp piercing cry tore through the depths of her throat.
"Ahhh!"
"Li Xiu, what is wrong? What happened?" Ding Jiaying asked, alarmed as she took a couple of steps close to her daughter.
Just before her hands could touch the troubled Li Xiu, her daughter's voice rang out again.
"Why is it that Li Jing gets to hug the spotlight? Why didn't that stupid reporter interview me? Why were we the one who got thrown out instead of her? Why is she enjoying everything I should be enjoying, mum? Has she not taken away from me enough?"

Ding Jiaying stood there, speechless. Did she just hear correctly? What did her daughter mean by thrown out?!
"Thrown out! You were kicked out of Mr Yu's birthday party?"
"Yes! Why would I be this downcast if not for that? Coupled with the fact that Li Jing came to the party with Ye Cheng! Why does she get all the good things and I am left with crumbs?"
"Li Xiu!" Ding Jiaying called her daughter's name to make her calm down but that only riled up the girl.
"Mother what? Am I not saying the truth? I would give anything to be in her position right now. Make it happen, mother, give me what Li Jing has."
"Li Xiu! Get a good grip on yourself. If you do not want to see her enjoy, isn't it time to start planning on how to bring her to the ruin she belongs in? Why are you here crying?"
"But mother, what do I do?"
"I CANNOT BELIEVE I GAVE BIRTH TO A FAILURE." Ding Jiaying lamented out loud. She was intentionally provoking her daughter so she could sit up and try better.
"Mother, are you helping or are you adding to my wounds right now?"Li Xiu complained. Her eyes had now become red and slightly swollen from her crying, making her once beautiful appearance turn sour to the eyes.
"Just look at you. You are an eye sour right now. Was this how Li Jing got to where she is now? Is this how you want to make her pay for ruining your life and taking your father's love away from you?"
"But mother, you do not understand. We were thrown out in front of all those rich heiresses and heirs."
"Then why are you crying? Is it the end of the world? Would your tears fix anything? Huh, answer me? Would wailing away here solve anything? Was this how I trained you?"
Ding Jiaying could not believe how one set back turned her daughter into something else.
