Chapter 1199 - : Begin Your Performance（7）

Lina’s words were reasonable. Eric also understood that it was improper if they left just like this. Especially since although Lina’s final goal for returning this time was to find her daughter, she had come under the pretense that she was here to negotiate with Ruan Zeyan.

To welcome Lina’s arrival and respond to her visit, Ruan Zeyan had done a lot of preparation. This morning, he had received a call from Ruan Zeyan’s secretary, Christine, who had called to inform them that to welcome Lina’s arrival, Yuan Teng Corporation had specifically prepared a large welcoming ceremony in the Ruan Family’s villa.

Lina would definitely show respect to him. She needed to show him respect. Eric understood this clearly. Also, considering how important Yuan Teng Corporation was to LAYNA, Eric did not want to offend Ruan Zeyan so easily, especially not before he gained control of LAYNA.

Because of this, no matter what, even if Lina was going to leave, she could only leave after Yuan Teng’s welcoming ceremony.

However, the people at Yuan Teng thought that Lina would stay for a long time. Not even Eric had expected things to develop so quickly. That was why he had scheduled Lina’s welcoming ceremony a couple of days later for Friday evening. His goal was for Lina to become familiar with the environment and then have the meeting. They would have a welcoming ceremony after everything was under control.

Typically speaking, there was nothing wrong with such a process of events.

However, now the problem was that he hadn’t expected to receive news about Lina’s daughter so quickly. Also, what frightened Eric the most was that her daughter was the clever and wise Ling Tianya.

This would impact Lina from appointing him as the successor of LAYNA, and he had no other choice but to use Xu Cheng as a substitute for Ling Tianya to take on the identity of Lina’s daughter.

Since she was pretending to be her daughter, they were taking a huge risk. Therefore, the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it would be.

Eric was very worried. What if Lina didn’t leave after the Ruan Family’s welcoming ceremony?

“Chairwoman, today, I received a call from President Ruan’s secretary, Christine, who informed us that on Friday evening, President Ruan will hold a welcoming ceremony for you at the Ruan Family’s villa. I feel that that is the day when Miss Xu.. I mean, I should now call her the young miss! I think that the ceremony on Friday is the perfect time to announce the young miss’s true identity to the public. What do you think, Chairwoman?”

When she heard Eric calling her “young miss,” Xu Cheng’s heart soared. Before this, she had never felt that the word “young miss” was honorable. In contrast, she associated the word “young miss” with a prostitute.

However, when she heard Eric call her “young miss,” Xu Cheng felt that it was incredibly honorable. It was as if she was really a wealthy young miss who was above everyone else!

Lina looked at him after he finished speaking, her eyes deeply probing him.

Lina’s gaze made Eric panic. “Chairwoman, is there anything wrong with what I said?”

Lina shook her head. “No, there’s nothing wrong. However, Eric, I feel like you’ve been acting strange lately. You seem to care even more about my daughter than I do.”

When he heard Lina’s query, Eric’s face tensed, and he forced out an explanation, “As your assistant, it is only natural for me to share your worries.”

After hearing this, Lina nodded. “You’re right. Then let’s arrange it for Friday evening.”
