CHAPTER 153

"Mr Lin." Tang Zixin called out again, this time more loudly than before.

"Yes?" Mr Lin was startled. Never would he have imagined such a thing would happen. "Yes. yes, you said/"

"Sir, what is the matter? Why are you so shocked? Do you know her perhaps?"

"No, no, no. It is nothing."

Tang Zixin’s expression fell and his brows furrowed together. "That was definitely nothing, Mr Lin. Something is wrong. Tell me, perhaps I can be of help."

He took a deep breath first, trying to process what Tang Zixin said and contemplating in his mind if he should speak about it or not. "I do not know her though. Never have I once seen her."

"But..." Tang Zixin started for him.

"But, she has an uncanny resemblance to someone I know."

"Who?"

"My daughter."

GBAGHAN!

Tang Zixin could not believe what he was hearing. Li Jing looked like Mr Lin’s daughter? Hell no.

"I am afraid you are mistaken, Mr Lin. She is the daughter of Li Chun and she has a mother and a sister as well. Her name is Li Jing."

"Oh." Mr Lin looked thoughtfully at the TV screen again and his eyes zeroed on the necklace Li Jing wore. "Then that necklace."

"What about it, sir?"

"He hesitated for a moment but shook his head. "I may be wrong about her but I cannot be wrong about the necklace."

"What does the necklace mean?"

"It means everything and may the one answer to finding my daughter." His words had further confused Tang Zixin.

Personally he had looked into Li Jing’s file and all and knew that she was his adopted daughter and even that her step mother and family members think she was the illegitimate child of Mr Li but he covered it up and adopted her instead.

So, except her real mother, the mistress was Li Jing’s real mother then he was mistaken.

But when he dug further into Li Jing’s background, he found out that the mistress of Mr Li, his old university lover that he left when he married Ding Jiaying, was dead and her name was definitely not a Lin.

So right now, hearing Mr Lin...

This was because he was finding it hard to believe that the prominent heiress would leave her father just to be a mistress to such a man who was beneath her status.

"My grandmother did tell me about the fact that you lost the only heir to your family."

"She was right. My daughter left home years ago and since then, never have I once laid eyes on her. I have searched my city and beyond but it felt like she disappeared. I refuse to believe that she is dead. No, she can’t be."

"But you cannot rule out that possibility you know."

"I know. Nevertheless, that necklace.... With it there is hope."

"You still haven’t told me what the necklace symbolizes, Mr Lin." Tang Zixin probed further. He wanted to know and he would.

"The necklace was a symbol of my great grandfather’s love for my great grandmother. There is no one like it in the world. It was exceptionally made just for her, no second and all material sand knowledge about it died with the maker of the necklace."

"Wow."

"Exactly, it was how much my great grandfather made him swear not to duplicate it or pass the knowledge on. Since then it had been passed down to all the female heirs in the family as a symbol of love."

"So, meaning..."

"I do not know. She looks like her and she has the necklace but you said she had a different family. My darling Lin Jia Li had it passed down from my wife to her on her twentieth birthday before she passed away."

"Not to get your hopes on and then it crashes, it could have been stolen from her and pawned off in a jewelry store. But if you want, you can come wit me. I would be meeting her for dinner today."

"Oh no, I do not want to ruin a couple’s date. I would be an old third wheel, it would be embarrassing and awkward. Thanks for the offer though."

"Hehhe, my bad," Tang Zixin said scratching his head. "I can ask her some questions for you as to how she got the necklace."

"Please do. I would be grateful."

"It is nothing much. Anything to assist you in finding your heir." Tang Zixin let out a strong breath.

This was equally overwhelming for him. If Li Jing really was... no he stopped thinking and cleared his head.

’Better not to believe in fairytales and have your heart and hopes crushed. Just let life lead you on.’ Tang Zixin thought.

"Please, let us proceed to the work table and go through the business proposal for the next year."

"Sure."

Both men stood up, leaving their drinks have finished on the small table and headed towards Tang Zixin’s working table.

All through the short walk to his chair, Tang Zixin’s eyes remined fixed on the older man who looked downcast but tried to hide it with a simple smile on his lips.

’Just maybe...’

––––––

Later that day, he met with Li Jing for their dinner and although it felt somewhat awkward, especially with the news circulating, Tang Zixin still managed to help her relax.

To Li Jing, it was a terrible idea to want to go on a date the very next day after Ye Cheng used her to cause another news outbreak.

At first she wore a shade just so she could hide her face from the busy bodies that floooded outside Ye Cheng’s company waiting for his statement about their relationship.

"Hahhaa..." Tang Zixin laughed when he saw her shades and how she looked back and front like a thief in hiding.

"What is funny?" Li Jing asked Tang Zixin.

"Nothing. Let me get the door for you."

When they were both seated in his car, he looked over to his side and he could not control it and let out another peal of laughter.

Okay, that was it, Li Jing was finding this weird.
