Chapter 1143 - Long Time No See (5）

A mocking look appeared in Lina’s eyes. So Ruan Zeyan’s wife was not all that special. She didn’t have any table etiquette and did not understand how to interact with people or how to engage in social activities.

In contrast to Lina and Eric’s reactions, Ruan Zeyan simply looked at Ling Tianya without any criticism in his eyes. That was because he knew that Ling Tianya was not a woman who could not distinguish her actions between occasions. She was someone who could see the severity of a situation.

Ling Tianya observed the gazes of Eric, who was preparing to toast her, and Lina. At this time, she stood up, smiling. She did not take the glass of alcohol that Eric was offering her, but raised her own glass of juice. She looked at Lina and said, “If I must give a toast, then I need to toast to Yuan Teng Corporation and LAYNA for being able to work together for a long time and that our collaboration will be stable and happy. Here, I toast to Miss Lina. I toast to our business partner. Because I am still breastfeeding, I can’t drink alcohol and can only substitute it with juice. Please forgive me, Miss Lina.”

After she finished speaking, Ling Tianya raised her head and drank all of her juice.

Eric was still awkwardly holding up the glass of alcohol with an embarrassed expression. Although Ling Tianya did not directly say anything, however, her meaning was clear. He, Eric, was only a small assistant and did not have the right to drink with her, Ling Tianya. Therefore, Ling Tianya rejected drinking with him by saying that his reason wasn’t good enough. She didn’t even take the glass of alcohol from his hand. Instead, she picked up her glass of juice and went to toast Lina. The meaning behind her words were very clear. She hoped that Lina could restrain her arrogance and honestly and sincerely cooperate with Yuan Teng Corporation for a long time happily, without any turmoil and not to make any lousy suggestions.

Eric had wanted to scare Ling Tianya with disdain and embarrass Ruan Zeyan. However, he didn’t expect Ling Tianya to suppress him. Not only was he not able to satisfy his intentions, but he also gave Ling Tianya the upper hand.

Eric gloomily stood there. Lina shot him a glance, and he obediently returned to his seat with the two glasses of alcohol.

Lina looked at Ling Tianya, a peculiar sparkle in her eyes. Her expression was much more natural than Eric’s. After all, she was a big shot in the business world. What kind of situation hadn’t she seen?

Lina kept her smile as she raised her glass and drank all of the alcohol. Then, she said to Ling Tianya, “So you are already a mother. I wouldn’t have believed it if you didn’t say it. You take pretty good care of your body.”

“Thank you for the praise.” Ling Tianya placed down her glass of juice and returned to her seat.

Ruan Zeyan warmly looked at Ling Tianya and tightly grasped her small hand.

“How old is the child?” Lina asked.

“Less than five months,” Ling Tianya answered indifferently.

Lina’s smile grew bigger. “Being able to raise your child and become a mother is the happiest thing.”

“Yes, I also feel that way.”

They had originally intended to have a meeting back at Yuan Teng Corporation after the meal, however, Lina suddenly said that there was something she needed to do. Ruan Zeyan pushed back the meeting in the afternoon to the next day. Coincidentally, he was also in a bad mood. He needed to go home and lecture his disobedient wife.

They left Ming Xuan and stood in front of it. Lina reached out her hand and shook hands with Ruan Zeyan in a business-like manner. “Thank you, President Ruan, for your reception.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re welcome,” Ruan Zeyan said indifferently.

Then, Lina smiled and looked at Ling Tianya who was standing beside Ruan Zeyan. “President Ruan, I think that your wife and I hit it off very well.”

“Then let’s meet up again when we have the chance,” Ling Tianya said, smiling.

“Definitely.” Lina deeply looked at Ling Tianya and then got into the car.
