Chapter 1223: Exposed（1）

Xu Cheng grew increasingly annoyed. “Mother, you have been continuously reminding me that I’m your daughter, that you’re my biological mother these few days. What are you trying to say? Are you worried that I will side Lina in the future and not care about you any longer? Or are you worried that after inheriting her a.s.sets, I won’t give you a portion of it? Why are you being so difficult?”

At Xu Cheng’s questioning, Huang Ying turned silent. What Xu Cheng had pointed out were indeed her worries. She was worried that Xu Cheng would just side Lina and ignore her from here on out. Lina had even said before that she would only leave her a sum of money. She wouldn’t bring her along to Europe.

But, how can that do? How can a sum of money compare to a.s.sets worth a hundred billion dollars?

After all, both Huang Ying and Xu Cheng were selfish. Huang Ying was afraid that she’d be abandoned, while Xu Cheng was starting to feel tired of her biological mother.

So much for being biologically related.

Just then, the doorbell rang, shocking the mother-daughter duo.

“Who could be here so early?” Huang Ying asked.

Xu Cheng paused, her eyes lighting up. “It could be Eric; he could be here to fetch me to meet Lina!”

At the thought of meeting Lina, Xu Cheng stood up, running to the door excitedly.

Even though Xu Cheng wasn’t pleased with what Eric had done these few days, she still loved him. She still had the intention to marry him.

“Eric, you’re here early!” Xu Cheng ran to the door, shouting Eric’s name heartily. As she swung the door open, catching a glimpse of who was truly at the door, her expression hardened. “Why are both of you here?”

The person who stood behind the door wasn’t Eric. It was Old Lady Ruan and Ling Tianya, accompanied by two bodyguards, Big One and Little One.

At Xu Cheng’s disrespectful tone, Old Lady Ruan frowned. “Who do you think you’re talking to? To think that the Xu family claims to be a family of scholars… is this how you greet your elders?”

Old Lady Ruan had originally been ticked off; she had already been displeased with Huang Ying and Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng’s foul att.i.tude was like stepping on a landmine, causing Old Lady Ruan to blow up.

Xu Cheng was still fearful of Old Lady Ruan. She was the head of the Ruan family after all. The Ruan family and Lina were business partners, and even though she was Lina’s daughter now, it didn’t mean that she could afford to offend the Ruan Family.

Besides, tomorrow was the day where the Ruan Family would be hosting the banquet meant to welcome Lina. Lina would also be revealing Xu Cheng’s true ident.i.ty them. And so, she wouldn’t want to have any rifts with the Ruan Family before that.

And with that thought in mind, Xu Cheng forced herself to put on a smile. “Aunt, why didn’t you call before coming over?”

Old Lady Ruan had already been angry, but with Xu Cheng’s words, she grew even angrier. “The owners.h.i.+p of this residence hasn’t even been transferred, so it’s still mine. Why can’t I come!”

After finis.h.i.+ng her words, Old Lady Ruan pushed Xu Cheng out of her way confidently, making her way into the residence.

Ling Tianya followed behind Old Lady Ruan, her gaze focused on Xu Cheng. If she hadn’t heard wrongly, Xu Cheng was shouting Eric’s name when she opened the door.

And Ling Tianya knew that Eric was Lina’s a.s.sistant.

How did Xu Cheng get to know Eric? Based on her tone, it seemed like she was quite close to Eric.

Lina had only been back recently, so Xu Cheng couldn’t have had much time to interact with Lina. How did she know Eric, and how did they get so close then?
