Chapter 1232: Exposed（10）

Before, Xu Cheng had told Eric the reason she and Huang Ying had been kicked out truthfully, albeit dramatically. Now, however, there wasn’t a word of truth in what she told Lina. She portrayed herself as being helpless, meek, and pitiable, and she made Mdm Ruan and Ling Tianya out to be local tyrants.

Huang Ying had once said that Xu Cheng didn’t know how to lie or conceal her feelings. After pretending to be Lina’s daughter for so long, though, she had grown quite comfortable with lying.

As expected, the lure of money can change people in a great many ways.

Lina still believed that anything could be bought with money, including love. However, different people had different prices.

Someone like Xu Cheng could be easily bought with a couple of designer bags.

Therefore, Lina didn’t believe a single word that Xu Cheng said. Nothing happened in this world without a reason. Also, based on the Ruan Family’s position of power, they wouldn’t care about a small house. That meant that Xu Cheng and Huang Ying must have done something unforgivable for the old matriarch of the Ruan Family to have kicked them out.

When Xu Cheng saw that Lina wasn’t reacting very strongly to her story, she continued, “Ling Tianya was the most hateful. She was the one who allowed her subordinates to kick me out of the house. She even threw out the designer clothes and bags you gave me as if they were trash!”

Xu Cheng knew that Lina and Ling Tianya were on good terms and really liked each other. To Xu Cheng, that was infuriating. Now that this had happened, Xu Cheng spared no efforts in slandering Ling Tianya, hoping that Lina’s good feelings toward Ling Tianya would entirely disappear.

“When we lived in the Ruan residence, Ling Tianya used to do all sorts of things to bully and embarrass my family and me. She looked down on us. She left our luggage out in the rain to soak. Even though the Ruan villa is so big, she arranged for us to live in the rooms in the far corner of the house. My grandma asked the Ruan Family that I work at the Yuan Teng Corporation, but Ling Tianya refused! She told me that I would work under her at Zhiya Entertainment. On my first day of work, she did all sorts of things to make the job hard for me. Now she’s working with the old Mdm Ruan to kick us out and make us homeless.”

Xu Cheng paused and looked miserably at Lina. “Originally, I didn’t want to tell you all this. I know that you are business partners with Ruan Zeyan and that if I tell you these things, it will worry you. After all, I am your biological daughter, and you can’t just sit by and watch me get bullied. However, I’ve had enough this time. That’s why I’m telling you.” Xu Cheng tugged on Lina’s arm. “Mom, I’m so frustrated. Ling Tianya is always bullying me. I feel so wronged!”

Xu Cheng’s claims had been quite eloquently delivered. If Lina had never interacted with Ling Tianya, then she might really have believed the petulant woman. Unfortunately for Xu Cheng, Lina had spent considerable time with Ling Tianya, so she didn’t believe a single word Xu Cheng said.

Also, Ling Tianya was the one who was actually her biological daughter. Xu Cheng was feigning ignorance in front of her and purposely slandering Ling Tianya. Did this girl really think that she, Lina, was an idiot?

Lina looked at Xu Cheng and smiled. “I got it. I won’t let my daughter get bullied. I will get justice for her at the welcoming party on Friday.”

Xu Cheng nodded happily when she heard Lina’s words. After a minute, it dawned on her that there was something strange about what Lina had said, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

However, Xu Cheng quickly let the thought go. Everything would be fine as long as she got to see Lina teach Ling Tianya and the Ruan Family a lesson for her sake.
