    The trip to City A was a decision Ling Tianya made only that morning, she didn’t want to hide it from Ruan Zeyan. She had initially nned to tell him after she came back from the hospital, but then he had thought that she was there for an abortion, then forcefully brought her to the Ruan family for a dinner... Ling Tianya didn’t have a chance to inform him at all.


    Looking at Ruan Zeyan’s clearly unhappy face, Ling Tianya felt ufortable too, as though she had done something worthy of hell.


    “Since no matter where I go, I’m still under your supervision, does it make a difference whether I tell you or not?” Ling Tianya knew that those words of hers were definitely provoking Ruan Zeyan, but she just couldn’t get over it. She couldn’t get over the fact that that man had everything well in the palm of his hands yet he was acting as though she’s the one in the wrong.


    Not surprisingly, just as Ling Tianya’s wordsnded, Ruan Zeyan’s lips went down with them, and so did the pressure in the car.


    A click rang, the sound of the car’s door lock being unlocked.


    “Get out.” Ruan Zeyan lowly grumbled.


    Ling Tianya was a little startled initially, but she quickly got out of the car. The moment her legs were firmly supporting her weight, the car door mmed unceremoniously, and the car sped off, leaving nothing behind but a cloud of dust.


    “What a petty man!” Ling Tianya watched as Ruan Zeyan sped off, but by then she couldn’t even see the tail lights of the car. It was one-million dor sports car after all, famous for its insane eleration and astronomical top speed.


    If the furious Ruan Zeyan knew that what Ling Tianya was thinking about was the Bugatti instead of him, would he scrap the car immediately?


    Right at that moment, on the other end of the city, a man that had disappeared for some time, Li Chenfeng, was wracking his brain over how to revive the Li fame to its previous glory.


    Even though he was not a talented entrepreneur, the Li enterprise was supported by a few of his father’s friends, and those men had given him a few deals from time to time. That was how the Li family survived.


    Not too long ago, right on Madam Ling’s 80th birthday dinner, for absolutely no reason, those friends that used to support him had cut off allmunications and rtionships with him. Even all the business corporations that they had had been all cut off, no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, all his efforts were to no avail.


    A man that had a rtively good rtionship with his father did tell him a piece of information identally, asking him whether he had offended someone unknowingly.


    Li Chenfeng couldn’t think of who he could have possibly offended even after mulling over it for days, but seeing his efforts at reviving the Li family all wasted, he was really at his wit’s end.


    In the empty room, there wasn’t even a single maid, the floor was littered with take out and beer bottles. That was how the Li family had been living those few days, Li Chenfeng hadn’t stepped out of his house for days, and had cut off contact with the entire world. Those few days, he really understood what it meant when people said that it was a cruel, cruel world.


    Suddenly, his phone rang sharply, it was a call from his mother, Zhang Li.


    “Son, I lost money ying Mahjong, send me some quickly!” Over the line, the sound of a mahjong game and Zhang Li’s voice came through.


    Li Chenfeng got irritated. “I don’t have any money!”


    “Argh! Just find some way to get the money! Be quick!” Finishing, Zhang Li ended the call right there.


    Li Chenfeng threw his phone to the side in his frustration.


    In the Mahjong room, Zhang Li put down her phone. “My son will transfer me the money soon, let’s go for another two rounds.”


    A plumpdy by the side didn’t seem to believe her. “Let’s wait until your son sends the money.”


    Zhang Li’s eyes immediately blew wide, “You don’t believe me? Do you know who my son is? He’s the CEO of the Li Corporation!”


    “Tch!” The plumpdy scoffed. “We all know the Li Corporation shut down a long time ago, this entire circle knows!”


    Zhang Li’s face flushed red with embarrassment in a second. “What are you talking about! How could the Li Corporation shut down!” Zhang Li’s gaze fluttered in her panic, agitatedly continuing, “Besides, my son’s about to marry the Ling family’s eldest daughter Ling Tianya, the Ling family only has Ling Tianya as their biological daughter, when they do won’t the Ling family’s money be the Li’s?”


    The other three people at the table startedughing at herments.


    “What are youughing at?!” Zhang Li roared.


    “You think your son can marry Ling Tianya?” Thedy’s face was full of scorn. “You should know the news though, right? The eldest daughter of the Ling family, Ling Tianya has already gotten engaged with the Yuan Teng Corporation’s CEO, Ruan Zeyan, it’s been the talk of the town!”


    “What?!” The news was just like a bomb dropped right onto Zhang Li’s heart.
