Chapter 154 - Everything can be Negotiated, Except Her (4)
Ling Tao was true to his word and had arranged for someone to keep an eye on Ling Yuqing’s progress as she packed up. Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing had wanted to do a final struggle initially, thinking about the fact that Ling Tao was way too angry that night, they wanted to wait until that day, when his temper might have been more subdued. Ling Tao didn’t even bother showing up to meet the two of them, not even picking up their phone calls.
Going to plead with Madam Ling, she didn’t give them mercy either. Other the fact that she didn’t want to involve herself in the situation at all, she didn’t give them any nice comments or words either. Ling Yuqing had dragged Guan Meiyi and incriminated her in her plan to ruin Ling Tianya, Madam Ling couldn’t hate Ling Yuqing more at that point in time, why would she speak out for her?
Madam Ling had even appointed Miss Zhang to oversee Ling Yuqing, clearly stating that other than clothes and daily essentials, Ling Yuqing was not allowed to bring away anything else.
Previously, Miss Zhang would put in some effort to be on Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing’s good side. By then, even Miss Zhang knew that Ling Yuqing was a useless entity in the Ling family. Seeing that Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan’s marriage was near, the Ling family would be under the beck-and-call of Ling Tianya from then on. So, Miss Zhang started to treat Ling Yuqing colder and colder, following Madam Ling’s instructions to the T. She kept watch over Ling Yuqing strictly.
Right then, Ling Yuqing was like an old broom that no one wanted. Everyone in the Ling family couldn’t wait a second more to chase her out of the house. Even if Qu Wan wanted Ling Yuqing to stay, she had no way of doing that either.
After a night, Qu Wan had calmed down too. No matter what, she had to hold onto her position, she had to stay in the Ling family.
She had no other choice, and Ling Yuqing could only leave the Ling family. She had gotten used to the spoilt rich princess lifestyle, and definitely didn’t want to return to Huang Dawei’s side and live a hard life.
Qu Wan couldn’t bear for her daughter to go back to the Huang family either, so she prepared to find a hotel room for her to stay in temporarily.
They soon realized that no matter which hotel they went to, as long as they tried to check in under the name “Ling Yuqing”, they would be rejected by the hotel.
Left with no other choice, Qu Wan wanted to check in using her name, but the hotel informed them that only Qu Wan herself could stay in the hotel. Ling Yuqing didn’t do the check-in, and therefore she was not allowed to stay.
Qu Wan even caused a scene at the hotel because of that, but the hotel threatened to call the police, not giving Qu Wan any room to negotiate at all.
There was no mystery behind it, it must have been Ling Tao that pressured the hotels into it. Qu Wan didn’t think that Ling Tao would go to such great lengths to force Ling Yuqing to change her name back to Huang Yuqing, he was really prepared to disown his daughter completely.
Qu Wan knew that as long as Ling Yuqing was there, her every single action would be within the control of Ling Tao. Left with no other choice, no matter how much they didn’t like it, Ling Yuqing could only return to the Huangs.
The Huangs were clear on their stance too, unless Ling Yuqing changed her surname back to Huang, they would not let her in through their doors either.
The circumstances had backed the two of them into a corner, and they could not do anything else other than have Ling Yuqing change her surname back to Huang. From then on, Ling Yuqing ceased to exist, and Huang Yuqing would not have any further ties with the Ling family.
The Yuan Teng Corporation’s Headquarters was a sixty-four story building, it was a prominent landmark of the city, it was a building that people looked up to and dreamed about.
Right then, the door to the meeting room opened, and Ruan Zeyan walked out first, cold as a block of ice. Following him was a flock of high ranking officials, and almost every one of them had a slight sheen of sweat beading on their forehead. It wasn’t summer then, so it wasn’t warm. Yuan Teng Corporation was a huge corporation, so their building was equipped with central temperature control too.
The real reason for their sweat was their boss, Ruan Zeyan.
The Chief Financial Officer carefully approached Du Gang, softly asking, “Mr. Du, what happened to Mr. Ruan in these past few days? He’s been especially cold and scary these days!”
Du Gang could only chuckle awkwardly. “I don’t know either…”
He definitely wouldn’t say that it was because his Boss had failed to stay over at Ling Tianya’s for the night. In the restaurant, Ruan Zeyan had publicly asked for Ling Tianya’s hand in marriage and then got shut outside her door the very same night. He couldn’t blame Ling Tianya for being unwilling to be too close to his boss though, it was his boss that kidnapped her and kept her on Hu Xin Island for an entire week without even finding out the truth, and he was so rough towards her too. Anyone would be traumatized after something like that, especially a woman with a personality as strong as Ling Tianya.
Besides, after the proposal, Ling Tianya did not contact his Boss. His boss seemed to be throwing a tantrum too, and absolutely refused to contact Ling Tianya first, but caved in and still arranged someone to continue looking over Ling Tianya. He requested for them to report to him every day.
In the end, Ling Tianya went on with her merry life, but his boss got more and more troubled every day!
Du Gang didn’t understand at all, why would his boss torture himself like that?
Right then, Ruan Zeyan’s secretary, Christine, walked over. “Mr. Ruan, Mr. Gu Zhiqian has been waiting for you in the lounge for some time.”
