Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive Chapter 1231 - Exposed（9

Chapter 1231: Exposed（9）

In her hotel room, Lina was having a video conference with the employees at the company headquarters in Europe. She knew that Eric had gone to pick up Xu Cheng.

Her doorbell rang.

Lina lifted her head and looked in the direction of the door. “You guys will need to complete the a.s.signment before you get off work on Friday.”

After she finished speaking, Lina closed the video chat and went to open the door.

Xu Cheng, Huang Ying, and Eric were standing outside her door. Lina’s eyes landed on the suitcases in Xu Cheng and Huang Ying’s hands.

Lina’s expression changed cunningly. “What happened?”

When she heard Lina’s question, Xu Cheng immediately hugged Lina, aggrieved. “I was bullied! It’s so unfair…”

Ever since Xu Cheng had started pretending to be Lina’s daughter, she had been enjoying getting to behave like a spoiled child. She had an unjustifiably high opinion of herself, and she thought that if she acted like a spoiled and pitiful child, the others would think she looked delicate and lovable.

However, in reality, Xu Cheng had inherited the harsh appearance of her grandmother. Plus, at her age, when she acted pitiful and spoiled, it made others feel uncomfortable. She was far too old to be so immature.

Lina found Xu Cheng’s touch to be repellant. Instead of holding the woman, she intentionally pulled Xu Cheng away and said in a soft voice, “Don’t stand in the hallway. Come in and tell me what happened.”

“Okay.” Xu Cheng barely waited until Lina finished speaking before rudely walking into Lina’s room. She no longer harbored any of her initial timidity, and she tossed her suitcase onto the floor and plopped down on the couch.

Lina raised her eyebrow as she looked at the suitcase Xu Cheng had thrown in the middle of the living room.

Huang Ying awkwardly stood outside the door. Lina looked at her and suppressed her urge to slap the woman a couple of times across the face. Instead, she nonchalantly said, “Come in as well. Why are you standing there?”

After she finished speaking, Lina turned around and returned to her room.

Outside the door, Huang Ying ground her teeth. She and Xu Cheng had been kicked out by Mdm Ruan. Now, she and her daughter had no choice but to rely on Lina. They were out of options.

Huang Ying slowly walked into the room. Xu Cheng was sitting next to Lina and holding her arm intimately as she complained. Her expression was very upset.

“Today, Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother came to the place where we were living and started throwing out our things for no reason. They even kicked us out!” Xu Cheng said, distraught.

Lina squinted. It became especially hard not to show any emotion when she heard Ling Tianya’s name, but Lina forced herself to remain calm. “Why did they do that?”

“Why else? It’s because they don’t like us!” Xu Cheng proclaimed. “The house that we were living in is under Mdm Ruan’s name. She gave the house to my grandma. Oh, I mean, my adopted father’s mother.”

Xu Cheng’s words made Huang Ying raise her forehead. Did she have to distinguish her adopted parents so clearly?

Lina’s eyes swept toward Huang Ying, then back to Xu Cheng. “Continue.”

Xu Cheng sniffled and pretended to be upset. “Mdm Ruan gave us this house because she owed my grandma. A couple of days ago, my grandma was admitted into the hospital because of a stroke. It looks like she will be disabled. Mdm Ruan turned her back on us and kicked my adopted mother and I out. We don’t have anyone we can rely on in this city now. We don’t even have a place to live…”
