Chapter 1149 - Rosy Complexion

Ever since Eric came to this country with Lina, his loyalty had been unstable. He disguised this fact very well in front of Lina, still pretending to be her capable assistant. However, once Lina decided to return to the country to search for her heir, his heart had changed.

Eric had long considered LAYNA to be his own company. Why else would he have worked so hard for Lina for so many years, treating Lina’s concerns as his own concerns and the company’s values as his own values?

All of this was because Lina had once said that she didn’t have a child or an heir. When she got older, she would hand the management of her company over to her assistant.

Therefore, Eric had poured his mind and heart into becoming Lina’s assistant. In reality, Lina also thought highly of him. Many important aspects of the company were solely his responsibility. This extension of trust and responsibility made Eric feel that she was cultivating him to become her successor.

Everything was going well. But just as Eric was preparing to take over the company, Lina’s plan for the future of the company suddenly changed.

“Why did Lina have to find out about her daughter now?!” Eric thought.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ever since Lina found out that her daughter was still alive, it was as if she’d been possessed. Eric knew that talking with Ruan Zeyan had only been a secondary priority for Lina. Most importantly, she had come to this country to find her daughter. If she didn’t find her daughter, then she definitely wouldn’t return home.

This made Eric very unhappy. He felt like a male lion who had defeated all of his competitors and was just about to take over the pride. However, at that moment, he was told that he wasn’t a lion at all, but a Chowdren dog. He didn’t have the noble bloodline, and therefore he couldn’t lead the pride.

Eric felt that he was going crazy, but for the moment, he had to endure it. He needed to remain by Lina’s side so that he could control her s actions. No matter what, he wouldn’t allow Lina to find her daughter.

“Mom, I’m telling you. Ling Tianya has gone overboard. She left me here and went to eat a large meal by herself!” Xu Cheng walked over and sat down across from Eric, still talking with Huang Ying on the phone.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice drifted over and interrupted Eric’s sinister thoughts. His keen ears heard the woman mention Ling Tianya.

“Ling Tianya?” he thought. “Isn’t that Ruan Zeyan’s wife? The woman who humiliated me?”

Because he heard the name Ling Tianya come out of Xu Cheng’s mouth, Eric began to pay attention to her.

“Who did she eat with? With Cheng Chen!” Xu Cheng said unhappily. “The President of Zhiya Entertainment. Anyway, I think that the relationship between the two of them is very strange. When they talk to each other, they are very impolite. Also, even when I directly said that I am Ruan Zeyan’s cousin, Cheng Chen barely paid attention to me. From my perspective, he doesn’t even care about Ruan Zeyan.”

Xu Cheng’s words once again drew Eric’s attention. So this woman was Ruan Zeyan’s cousin?

As her mother replied, Xu Cheng happened to glance up and notice Eric looking at her.

When she saw that the man was handsome and generally attractive, Xu Cheng blushed and her heart began pounding. Her tone also changed from extreme annoyance to a soft complaint.

“Anyway, Mom, that’s it for now. I’ve got to go...” Xu Cheng quickly ended the call with Huang Ying and put her phone back in her purse. She tidied her hair, and when she lifted her head to look at the man in front of her, she realized that he was still looking at her.

Xu Cheng became flustered, and her face grew redder.
