Chapter 214 - The CEO’s Wife
Ruan Zeyan had always placed the utmost priority on his work efficiency. The moment he started his work his concentration would not waver by even the most distracting of tasks or activities.
Just not too long ago, he had given up talk with Country E for Ling Tianya. He also had dropped everything in the middle of a meeting just to have a meal with that woman.
At the same time that they feel that it was a rare sight, they also felt that Ling Tianya was not a good influence on him.
Finally, the shareholders had run out of patience, and one of the oldest men amongst them came over.
He first gave Ling Tianya a warning glare, before stating in his deep voice, “CEO, everyone else is still waiting for you for the meeting to continue.”
Ling Tianya observed the man’s features. He held some resemblance to Ruan Zeyan, he could be an uncle of sorts.
“Tianya, this is my third Uncle.” Ruan Zeyan introduced the two of them.
So, they were related, but the third uncle didn’t really rank too high up in the Ruan family in terms of his looks. It didn’t seem like he shared the same father and mother to Ruan Qishan.
“Hello, Uncle.” Even if the other was not friendly, Ling Tianya still stood, greeting him with manners. She then asked Ruan Zeyan, “How many more uncles do you have? Why have I never heard of you bring them up before?”
Ruan Zeyan swallowed the food that Ling Tianya fed him, explaining, “My grandfather has two wives, my grandmother is the first wife, and only has one son — my father.”
Simply put, only Ruan Qishan was from the main branch of the Ruan family. Ruan Zeyan was the righteous grandson of the Ruan family. As for his third uncle, he was just the son born from the second wife.
Unsurprisingly, Ruan Guofu’s face fell the moment Ruan Zeyan mentioned his status.
That placed Ling Tianya in an awkward situation. She didn’t think she should be digging up the Ruan family’s elder’s marital status.
Ruan Guofu held back the harshness in his eyes, and instead fixated on Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan with a sharp look. “CEO, we should proceed with our meeting.”
Ruan Zeyan’s finger gently caressed Ling Tianya’s jaw. “Wait for me here, I’ll send you home after I’ve finished.”
“Okay.” Ling Tianya saw that there was still a lot of food left over, but it was better than not eating anything at all. Everyone was still waiting for him in the meeting, and it wouldn’t be good for Ling Tianya to impose more.
Ruan Zeyan went back to his meeting, and Ling Tianya sat on the sofa in the guest lounge, scrolling through current affairs on her phone.
Guan Meiyi had topped the Weibo’s charts again, but it wasn’t good news. The long string of bad publicity, with Ling Qi’s situation, Guan Meiyi had suddenly become infamous. Even if she was the center of many topics and had drawn a lot of attention, she was still protected by Zhi Ya Entertainment.
“Who are you?”
A sickly-sweet voice suddenly cut through the air, Ling Tianya felt it was familiar. Wasn’t it the same woman that picked up Ruan Zeyan’s phone earlier?
She raised her head and she saw a woman wearing an exquisite gown. Her hair was done up in gorgeous waves, not much unlike a doll. Seeing the way she dressed, she was surely not just a random person from off the street.
The doll scanned Ling Tianya from head to toe, her bare face, her sweater, and her jeans, before the disgust showed on her face. She picked up her phone, making a call. “Christine, come over!”
“Christine?” Ling Tianya frowned, the doll actually knew Christine.
Not too long later, Christine arrived.
The doll pointed at Ling Tianya with an angry finger. “Christine, why aren’t you doing your job? How can you allow this kind of piss-poor beggar into brother Zeyan’s office? Hurry up and chase this creature out!”
Ling Tianya’s brows shot up, did the doll call her a “creature” right in front of her face? Like she was not even qualified to be a human?
Christine spared a look at the smiling Ling Tianya on the couch, before addressing the doll, “I’m sorry Miss Lijia, I have no right to chase away the future wife of Yuan Teng Corporation’s CEO.”
