Chapter 1138: The Business Partner Has Arrived (10)
Not long after, the dishes were served.
All the dishes on the table were all Ling Tianya’s favorites. At the sight of all her favorites, Ling Tianya laughed happily. “You’re the best! You know, apart from Ruan Zeyan, you’re the only one who remembers what I like, even my dad… doesn’t…”
At the mention of Ling Tao, Ling Tianya’s expression went rigid.
Cheng Chen watched as Ling Tianya’s face fell. Helping her a serving of ribs, he questioned, “Have you ever thought of searching for your biological parents?”
Ling Tianya shook her head. “Ruan Zeyan asked me the same question before. To be honest, I had intentions to search for them, but there’s just too much I’m uncertain of. I have finally settled down in my peaceful life. I just don’t want to go looking for trouble again.”
Cheng Chen pursed his lips. “Tsk tsk tsk, your words sure are full of resentment.”
“Well, I was bought off the streets; what sort of child do you think could be bought off the streets?”
Cheng Chen gestured gracefully. “Well, there are tons of possibilities. You could have been swindled away, and your parents never gave up on searching for you all these years. Or it could be that your parents never knew of your existence, which was why there wasn’t any news from them all these years.
The very reason why you refuse to tackle this issue is because you’re trying to escape from reality. You crave kins.h.i.+p, and you’re afraid to get hurt by exactly what you crave. This is precisely why you’ve been hurt so deeply all these years. But you shouldn’t pin the blame of the misfortune that befell you in the Ruan Family all on your parents. It’s unfair to them.”
Ling Tianya gnawed on the piece of ribs Cheng Chen had given her, “Our Chairman Cheng here sure has a way with persuasion. I think the company should consider opening up a talk show specially for you, where others can share their troubles. Given your image, you’re sure to garner tons of female fans of various cla.s.ses.”
Cheng Chen chuckled. “Forget it, I already have tons of female fans that I can’t seem to get rid of.”
Indeed, as a prominent figure of the entertainment industry, plus his excellent traits, despite being over forty, Cheng Chen was as attractive as any other young man out there. In fact, he could even be more attractive with his added wisdom and maturity that came with his age.
Many women had racked their brains over what they to do to get together with such an eligible bachelor like himself.
However, despite his flirtatious nature and an endless line of women who desired him, no women could ever get close enough to a relations.h.i.+p with Cheng Chen. Even for those who managed to stay by his side, their relations.h.i.+p was clearly defined: only as s.e.xual partners, no more no less.
This was because Cheng Chen was a man who was terribly afraid of trouble, and he disliked being held back by others.
At that moment, a commotion started at Ming Xuan’s entrance.
One after another, luxury cars began pulling up at Ming Xuan’s entrance. Ming Xuan’s general manager himself had even brought men to greet the guests.
Peering out of the window, Ling Tianya saw numerous personal guards that exited the luxury cars, gathering around the black car in the middle protectively.
At the sight of the personal guards and that black car, Ling Tianya realized that it all seemed a little familiar.
“Isn’t that Ruan Zeyan’s car?” Cheng Chen beat her to the question.
Indeed, it was. Du Gang had already got out of the car, opening the car door.
The ever handsome Ruan Zeyan got out the car before slowly making his way to another black car at the back, personally opening the car door for the pa.s.senger.
As the car door opened, the first thing Ling Tianya caught sight of was the leg of a seemingly elegant woman, wearing a pair of limited edition heels.
