<h4><i>Chapter 1144</i>: In Search of the Heir（1）</h4>


    Eric sat in the same car as Lina. The atmosphere in the car was tense. Lina sat there, not saying anything as she looked out of the window.


    Eric looked at Lina. “Are you angry?”


    Lina did not answer and continued looking out the window.


    Eric sighed. “Originally, I wanted to scare Ruan Zeyan’s wife and also dampen Ruan Zeyan’s spirit, I didn’t expect...”


    He hadn’t expected for Ruan Zeyan’s wife to be someone who was hard to deal with. Just from her actions with the toast just now, it was clear that Ling Tianya was not a simple person.


    She did things well from every angle, and her words were filled with hidden meanings. Although he knew that Ling Tianya was humiliating him, Eric was unable to retort.


    Simrly, at the same time Ling Tianya’s words humiliated Eric, it also served as a reminder to Lina. A woman who was able toplete two things with one sentence was not a normal aristocratic wife.


    “How would a simple person be able to be Ruan Zeyan’s woman?” Lina asked faintly. There was a sliver of sadness in her eyes. “However, Ling Tianya is very simr to the way I was in the past...”


    She looked weak and harmless, however, her spirit and strength could not be contained.


    Eric knew what Lina was thinking, and he immediately said, “How can Ling Tianya bepared to you? How are you two simr? I don’t think you guys are simr at all!”


    Lina turned around to look at Eric with probing eyes.


    As if he realized that his words had gone overboard, Eric quickly contained the expression on his face and changed the topic, “Where are we heading to now?”


    Lina looked forward, and she softly spit out two words, “Zhiya Entertainment.”


    Currently in Zhiya Entertainment, Cheng Chen was having a cup of coffee and eating a sandwich in his office.


    He did not eat much of the perfectly fine lunch this afternoon.


    He did not expect that after so many years, he would meet Lina again and under such circumstances.


    Suddenly, the telephone rang. It was Cheng Chen’s assistant.


    “President Cheng, there is a Miss Lina here to see you.” The secretary’s voice drifted from the phone.


    Cheng Chen was slightly shocked. After two seconds, he said into the telephone, “Let her in.”


    Soon, the secretary led Lina into Cheng Chen’s office.


    Lina stood in the middle of the office and looked around. Then, she curled her lips. “Not bad. It seems that you are doing pretty well as the president of an entertainmentpany.”


    After she finished speaking, Lina walked over to the seat that was across from Cheng Chen and sat down.


    Cheng Chen’s secretary was still standing there. She did not recognize her and was curious about how Lina could act so casual in Cheng Chen’s office. It should be known that the only one who could currently act this way was Zhiya Entertainment’s big boss, Ling Tianya.


    “You can leave first,” Cheng Chen said to the secretary. The secretary obediently left and closed the office door on her way out.


    Lina ced her luxury bag on Cheng Chen’s desk and ced her chin on her hand as she looked at the man across from her. “How many years has it been since west saw each other?”


    Cheng Chenughed in a low voice and shrugged his shoulders. “Many years.”


    “Yah... let me think. I was 18 years old when I left. I’m turning 45 years old this year. It’s been 27 years!” Lina winked. “Look at yourself. You’ve already be an uncle. However, you are a charming uncle, so you are probably liked by many girls. But again, you’ve been liked from a young age. The amount of girls who want to date you is as long as the distance from here to the outside of the school gates. You would get love letters every day, and many of them would be mistakenly sent to my house.”
