Chapter 108 - Use Me As You Please (8)
Knowing that Ling Tianya was agitated, coupled with the fact that she wanted to attend the Yuan Teng Corporation dinner with style and glamour, Ling Yuqing didn’t continue causing trouble for Ling Tianya.
When evening came, Zhang Ke asked Ling Yuqing to send some items to Ling Tianya’s lounge, and even though she was reluctant to, she still did it.
Luckily, Ling Tianya was going through the script with the actors and was not currently in the lounge.
Ling Tianya’s lounge was in a mess, scattered with different drafts and books, Ling Yuqing put down the items in her hand, picking up a draft randomly. On it was a scrambled mess of character relationships and words, Ling Yuqing felt her head spin just from looking at it. She placed it down, just about to leave, but right then she accidentally hit Ling Tianya’s bag.
The bag fell, and all its contents spilt on the floor.
Ling Yuqing squatted to pick it up but was astonished to find an annual Yuan Teng Corporation’s dinner invitation card in her bag.
Why would Ling Tianya have the invitation? Ling Yuqing grasped it tightly with both hands, her eyes gradually turning sinister.
She thought of what happened that morning, when she was still showing off to Ling Tianya that Ling Tao would rather bring his stepdaughter, her, to the dinner than his biological daughter, Ling Tianya. Ling Tianya’s face was full of mockery, she thought that Ling Tianya was furious at how humiliated she was.
She was wrong, it was just Ling Tianya mocking her! She didn’t care at all whether Ling Tao brought her or not, she had her own invitation!
Ling Yuqing glowered at the invitation card, crumpling it.
“Ling Tianya, I don’t want to see you at all tonight!”
The Yuan Teng Corporation’s dinner was very strict on its security, and at its base so were its invitation cards. Without one, no one could enter the location.
Ling Yuqing placed Ling Tianya’s bag back into its original spot, stuffing the crushed invitation card into her own pocket, leaving the lounge as though nothing had happened.
They had to attend the dinner, so Guan Meiyi and Ling Yuqing left the filming set early.
Ling Tianya had no signs of wanting to leave early at all. Back when Ruan Zeyan first gave her the invitation card, she had no intentions of going to the dinner at all. Knowing about the fact that Guan Meiyi was getting engaged that day, all the more she would avoid it, she didn’t want to be humiliated by Ruan Zeyan again.
The sun started to set, the sky turning dark. The crew still had a few more scenes to film, and Ling Tianya sat right beside Zhang Heng, observing the actors as they acted through the monitor.
Right then, a wave of ruckus crashed over the site. They could only see Du Gang, with a gang of similarly dressed men walking behind him, on their way over there. Du Gang was Ruan Zeyan’s man, there was no one there that didn’t know about him.
That night was Yuan Teng Corporation’s annual dinner. What was Mr. Du doing there, instead of being by Mr. Ruan’s side?
The filming was forced to stop because of Du Gang suddenly barging in.
“Mr. Du, is there anything we can help you with?” Zhang Heng was not in the best of moods, and it showed. He hated having people interrupt his filming the most. The person was Du Gang, someone working for Mr. Ruan, and he couldn’t offend either of them.
“Mr. Ruan asked me to pick someone up.” Du Gang’s deep voice replied.
“Pick someone up?” Zhang Heng was stunned, “Guan Meiyi has already left.”
Everyone thought that Du Gang was on orders to pick up Guan Meiyi, and they were still envious about how Mr. Ruan doted on Guan Meiyi, actually letting someone come pick her up.
No one could predict what happened next — Du Gang went around Zhang Heng and went directly towards Ling Tianya.
“Miss Ling, the boss asked me to pick you up for the dinner.”
Once Du Gang’s words finished, everyone sucked in a deep puff of breath.
