Chapter 35: If You Blink, It’s Gone

“Yaya, you misunderstood. I was just shocked that TY is you, and not some foreigner that I thought…” Guan Meiyi was watching Ruan Zeyan’s reaction as she spoke.

“Well, you and everyone else.” Said Ling Tianya dismissively. It was not hard for her to tell that Guan Meiyi really cared about Ruan Zeyan.

Ling Tianya lowered her head briefly to gather herself. When she lifted her head up, she was back to being that stunning women who walked through the door that night.

Ling Tianya had achieved her primary goal for coming today — revealing the fact that it was Qu Wan who stole the one million dollars. Anything beyond that, she could wait. There was no need to be hasty.

“Mr. Ruan, I know you care about Meiyi. I will make sure to talk to the production team personally starting next week, and there won’t be any delays. Don’t you worry.”

Ruan Zeyan noticed that it was the first time Ling Tianya actually looked at him directly since he got there. She was only talking business. Ruan Zeyan’s lips were tightly closed, his chiseled chin looked cold and rigid.

He looked at her as if she was a piece of meat that he could swallow whole at any given time. If he felt like it, he could simply sway public opinions completely against her, making it impossible for her to stay in the country.

“Miss Ling, you better remember what you said.” Ruan Zeyan nodded lightly to Guan Jianlin. “Now I have to leave. I have somewhere else to be.”

Without hesitation, Ruan Zeyan turned around and walked straight out of the Ling mansion.

Seeing Ruan Zeyan leave the premises, Ling Tianya felt that the crushing power he exuded had left too, and she was finally able to breath again.

Ruan Zeyan left just as abruptly as he came. When most people were still scratching their heads about what just happened, Zhang Li and Li Chenfeng had made sense of it rather quickly.

They exchanged glances briefly, and then simultaneously turned to look at Ling Tianya.

Not only did this woman turn out gorgeous and sexy, her social status scaled up nicely too.

As a famous foreign screenwriter, Ling Tianya might not be as rich as those who owned businesses. Still, her net worth could easily be in the tens of millions. How did she afford to buy that jade buddha for Madam Ling otherwise?

If the Li’s could have Ling Tianya marry into their family, not only would they get to be in-laws with the Lings, they would also have acquired a money-making machine! The future of the Li Family would be all set.

Zhang Li’s original plan was to deploy a smear campaign on Ling Tianya, so they could get some money out of the Lings. Her new plan had aligned with Li Chenfeng’s plan to marry this foxy woman into the family to maximize their profit.

Zhang Li glanced at Li Chenfeng, who picked up the hint immediately. He broke the silence in the Ling mansion in an obnoxious voice, “Yaya, let’s start over. Let’s get married! What do you say?”

Everyone was reminded of the presence of the Li Family.

Ling Tao was absolutely annoyed by the two by now. He was going to cut all ties with the Li Family after he learned about their greediness. Now, knowing that his daughter actually made something out of herself, he was determined that Li Chenfeng was no match for Ling Tianya!

Ling Tianya’s gaze circled between Li Chenfeng and Zhang Li. The greediness of the mother and son pair was no secret to her, so she knew exactly what was going through their minds. Just when she was about to tell Li Chenfeng to get lost, his phone rang.

Li Chenfeng was too eager to know what Ling Tianya would say to care about some phone call, but the phone kept ringing. He finally picked it up impatiently, “What?! I’m very busy right now!”

Ling Tao was put off by the crass language, then he turned to his sister Ling Qi rather disapprovingly. How could Ling Qi introduce a man like this to Ling Tianya back in the day?

What Ling Tao failed to remember was that back then he was just as excited as Ling Qi about the marriage between the Ling Tianya and Li Chengfeng. He couldn’t wait to marry his daughter off.

Then a trembling roar from Li Chenfeng disrupted Ling Tao’s thoughts. “What did you say? Mr. Chen is ending the contract? I thought we had an agreement, what happened?”

Mr. Chen was the only big client the Li Corporation had left, and their business pretty much relied on the Chens for survival in the past a few years. Without Chen’s contract, the Li’s would be heading towards bankruptcy.

Everything was fine! Why did he cancel the contract out of the blue?

Li Chenfeng didn’t have time to think. He stood up and said to Ling Tianya, “Yaya, I have to go to handle some business. Let’s talk later about us. I’m not giving up on you!”

Then, Li Chenfeng took off in a hurry. Not wanting to be left behind by herself, Zhang Li quickly followed.

On the highway, a Maybach was driving at a steady speed.

“Sir, Chen Gang has cancelled his contract with the Li Family.” Said Du Gang. In his head, he knew that his boss was practically killing the Li Corporation.

“Okay.” Facing the window, Ruan Zeyan looked distracted. After a few moments, he opened this mouth, “I want to know what happened in the Ling Family tonight. Let me know as soon as you find out.”
