Chapter 1220: I Am Your Father-in-Law (18）
Cheng Chen told Lina all the information he had obtained from Huang Long. “I couldn’t find the private investigator you mentioned. It’s likely that he has already been dealt with by your assistant, Eric.”
“Indeed, Eric is the mastermind of it all.” Lina was outraged. It was all because of the trust she placed in him that caused him to stoop so low. How could he attempt to let Xu Cheng impersonate her daughter… that’s unforgivable!
“Let’s not be too agitated; what do you plan to do next?” Cheng Chen asked.
“I’m not agitated, not at all.” Lina chuckled deviously. “Since they had the guts to trick me, then they should be prepared to bear with the consequences. But it seems like they’re still stuck in the fantasy of inheriting my assets worth tens and thousands of dollars. Let’s not burst their bubble for a while longer.”
At the sound of Lina’s scheming tone, Cheng Chen sighed unconsciously. He was once again reminded that he shouldn’t anger women thoughtlessly.
“What do you plan to do?” Cheng Chen asked.
“What to do?” Lina’s tone changed into a cheery one. “I’ll do nothing. Come Friday, everything will be revealed during the welcome banquet hosted by Yuan Teng Corporation. I had once promised Xu Cheng that I’d reveal her true identity right then and there and reveal it I shall!”
Lina’s tone softened. “Regarding our daughter, I’ll have to count on you. I won’t be able to meet her for now. I need to settle things concerning Eric first. Before it’s Friday, I have to clear his position in the company. But it’s really my fault. I trusted him too much and allowed him to manage almost everything in the company.”
At the thought of Ling Tianya’s smile, Lina’s eyes filled with tears before breaking into a motherly smile. “I want to have everything that I own under control, so I can give it to my daughter in the future, my Tianya!”
As he heard Lina getting choking up, Cheng Chen felt himself getting stirred up. For the first time, he felt a sense of pride as one’s father.
His Tianya was just so brilliant, confident and perfect!
“That being said, I have always viewed Ruan Zeyan as my rival. I never would’ve thought that he would now become my son-in-law. This rascal’s not bad, I can tell he really dotes on Tianya and protects her around the clock. I guess when Eric knew of Tianya’s true identity, he initially wanted to do her harm. But since it wasn’t even possible for him to get close to Tianya, he could only think of making use of Xu Cheng to impersonate my daughter.”
As he heard how Lina sang Ruan Zeyan’s praises, Cheng Chen’s expression begun to darken.
In the past, as Ling Tianya’s friend, he also thought that Ruan Zeyan was a good husband for her. However, now as a father-in-law, he felt that Ruan Zeyan deserved a real punishment!
As soon as she ended the call, Lina felt as if the weight on her shoulders finally lifted. Her whole body felt relaxed.
She looked at the strands of hair in her clutches. Now that she took a good look, these strands of hair, the length, color and softness were all similar to that of Ling Tianya’s hair.
No wonder she hit off so well with Ling Tianya, and no wonder their tastes, likes and even the food they liked were the same. They were mother and daughter, related by blood, so how could they be different?
Her daughter was just as she imagined. Intelligent, wise and living happily. She had a husband who loved her, considerate and amiable in-laws, and a cute child.
Lina scrolled through her phone. Clicking into Little Rice Dumpling’s photo in the gallery, she began aggressively kissing her phone’s screen.
This child was her biological grandchild! Her darling grandchild!
How she craved to hug that child, to kiss him all she wanted to!
Lina’s beautiful eyes hardened in determination.
My darling, my daughter, just wait for me for two more days. Then, you’ll be my everything!
