Chapter 1233: The Welcoming Party（1）

Xu Cheng acted forlorn for a long time. Her words made her intentions were very clear. Besides slandering the Ruan Family and Ling Tianya, she told Lina that she and Huang Ying were homeless and had nowhere to go. Therefore, they needed to seek refuge with Lina.

Lina very carefully kept her emotions from showing on her face. However, her heart was full of scorn for Huang Ying and Xu Cheng.

They were both adults. Huang Ying was over fifty years old, while Xu Cheng was in the prime of her life. Yet somehow, the two didn’t even have the ability to support themselves and govern their own lives.

“How about this? Eric, go to the reception area and reserve a room for the two of them,” Lina said to Eric, who was standing beside her.

When she heard that Lina was going to get a room for her, Xu Cheng instantly opened her mouth and said eagerly, “You don’t need to reserve a room for me! I can just stay with you. Our family might be wealthy, but we don’t need to waste money.”

Xu Cheng entirely disregarded Huang Ying’s unhappy expression as she smiled endearingly at Lina.

Lina suppressed her disgust and casually pulled her hand away. “I’m used to living alone, so I wouldn’t be comfortable living with someone else.”

“But I’m not someone else! I’m your daughter!” Xu Cheng blinked at Lina with wide eyes.

Right now, Lina wasn’t in the mood to continue being pestered by Xu Cheng. She turned back and ordered Eric, “Just do as I say.”

When she saw that Lina was set on her decision, Xu Cheng pouted unhappily. She had wanted to stay with Lina so she could get some more bags and pieces of designer clothing.

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng’s eyes suddenly shone. “I originally intended to wear that shirt tomorrow night to the welcoming party. However, Ling Tianya’s subordinates got it dirty today, so I don’t know what to wear to the party tomorrow. After all, you are introducing me in front of so many people. As the daughter of the Chairwoman of LAYNA, I can’t embarrass you.”

Lina’s eyes flashed with derision. Then, she looked at Eric and casually said, “In a little bit, take Xu Cheng and Miss Huang to buy some clothes to wear tomorrow. Don’t worry about the price. Buy them whatever they like.”

“Okay,” Eric answered respectfully, his eyes calculating. It seemed that Lina was really treating Xu Cheng as her daughter. That was why she was granting all of Xu Cheng’s requests.

“I can really choose whatever I want?” Xu Cheng asked, her eyes sparkling.

“That’s right. Choose whatever you want,” Lina answered firmly.

Xu Cheng’s mood immediately lifted. She was so beside herself with joy that she wanted to reach out and kiss Lina.

However, Lina quickly slid out of range of the attempted hug.

Xu Cheng was very happy, so she wasn’t bothered by the fact that Lina was keeping her at a distance. Her mind was entirely focused on what she would buy later.

Huang Ying awkwardly looked at Lina and opened her mouth for the first time since walking into the room. “Do I also need to attend the important occasion tomorrow?”

“Why wouldn’t you be going?” Lina raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at Huang Ying. “It would be sad if you weren’t present tomorrow for such an important occasion. You’ve taken care of Xu Cheng for so many years. I need to publicly thank you.”

Since Lina said all of this, Huang Ying had no choice but to agree. However, for some reason, she felt very uneasy.

Ruan Zeyan was still tracking Ling Tianya’s phone. In the end, he tracked it to a DNA testing center and found Cheng Chen’s car parked outside.
