Chapter 493: 493: I'll Go Find Her Myself Another Day_1

Xiao Lang saw him, but did not show any surprise.

He glanced at the private room behind Ruan Tianling, then looked back to the man in front of him.

The two men broodingly looked at each other, neither speaking nor leaving, their gazes thick with tension, like long-standing nemeses who hadn’t met for years.

Thin lips curved into a smirk, Ruan Tianling spoke first, “I heard that the Luo Family has a new owner, and it’s really you. I’d never have guessed that you, of all people, would acquire such power. In just two months, you’ve gone from the owner of a small restaurant to the new CEO of the Luo Family. I can’t help but congratulate you.”

Xiao Lang also managed a shallow smile, “There are plenty of things you wouldn’t expect. You’ll see what I’m truly capable of in due course.”

“Oh, really?” Ruan Tianling sneered. Pupils narrowing, he said, “I look forward to it.”

Having said that, he turned to leave. He had only taken a few steps when Xiao Lang called out from behind him.

“Ruan Tianling, have you seen Yufei? Two months ago, I had to leave her. Now, I have come back to find her. After all, she accepted my proposal, she is effectively my fiancée.”

Ruan Tianling’s seemingly casual smile turned slightly cruel.

He turned his head slightly, looking at the smiling and composed Xiao Lang.

“I didn’t know that Jian Yufei is your fiancée. We often stay in touch, but she has never mentioned you. If you truly were her betrothed, wouldn’t she mention you occasionally?”

“Is that so? I’ll go see her in person someday, maybe then she’ll admit to it.” Xiao Lang still looked composed, but his eyes flickered with a suppressed darkness.

Ruan Tianling’s smile grew colder, and he hustled to leave, resisting the urge to punch Xiao Lang hard.

Exiting the hotel, Ruan Tianling started the car, ready to head back when he received a call from his grandfather.

Ruan Anguo asked him to return to the old mansion immediately and that he needed to discuss something with him.

Left with no other choice, Ruan Tianling had to change course and head to the old mansion.

Walking into the living room, he was informed by a servant that his grandfather was in his study. Ruan Tianling nodded and headed to his grandparent’s study, knocking softly on the door.

“Come in.” The voice of the elderly man came through from behind the door. Ruan Tianling entered and shut the door behind him.

“Grandfather, did you want to see me about something?”

Ruan Anguo was sitting at the desk, looking at some documents.

“The Luo family has changed hands.” he said indifferently.

“I know.”

“The new owner is Xiao Lang, the man who wants to marry Yufei.”

“Yes, I’m aware.” Ruan Tianling answered without expression.

Ruan Anguo continued to question: “Do you know his background?”

“I will investigate.”

Ruan Anguo put aside the documents, leaning back in his leatherback chair, sighed and said, “Tianling, you actually have great business acumen. You just haven’t faced much adversity growing up. This is why I worry that you will be at a disadvantage in the future.”

Ruan Tianling sat opposite of him, asking with an amused smile, “Grandfather, what do you mean by this sudden sentiment?”

“When you were planning to acquire the Luo Family, someone was one step ahead of you. That person appears to be Xiao Lang now.” The old man answered without facing the question.

Turning serious, Ruan Tianling smirked,”Grandfather, are you suspecting that Xiao Lang came prepared, and I am his target?”

“Did you two know each other before?”

“No, we did not.”

A little exasperated, Ruan Anguo said, “If you two did not know each other, why would you be his target!”
