Du Gang ca without any warning nor reminder for reasons unknown.
“Director Ling, sorry for the sudden visit, I hope I didn’t interrupt anything?” Du Gang followed after the Ling family’s maids, his expression was courteous.
Ling Tao stood to welco Du Gang, shaking his head at his words. “Not at all. I wonder, what are you here for?” Ling Tao pointed at the sofa. “Let’s sit and talk. What would you like to drink? I’ll ask them to get you sothing.”
Du Gang shook his hands frantically, “No need to bother you, Mr. Ling. It’s my boss, he would like to invite you and your wife to a eting.”
“And ?” Qu Wan was a little surprised. She and Ling Tianya had a complicated relationship, and Ruan Zeyan was aware of it. Why would he ever initiate a eting with her?
Hearing that Ruan Zeyan would like to et him, Ling Tao was more than glad to accept. “Is there sothing he needs to urgently et us for?”
Du Gang smiled politely, “You will know when you and your wife get there.”
Ling Tao did not suspect anything at all. He thought Ruan Zeyan wanted to et him and Qu Wan for their wedding details, or that Ruan Zeyan wanted to talk to his future parents-in-law before the wedding.
“Alright, I’ll go change.”
Qu Wan was still frozen to her spot, seeing how polite Du Gang was, she couldn’t help but feel unease.
Seeing that Qu Wan was still stuck in the sa spot, Ling Tao tugged at her. “What’s wrong? Let’s head up to change and get ready to leave.”
Qu Wan’s eyes twinkled before she smiled. “I don’t feel quite well, I’ll pass.”
“You don’t feel well? Weren’t you fine earlier?” Ling Tao paused, before recalling that Madam Ling had brought up the aborted child. Maybe that had dug up an old scar in Qu Wan’s heart, so she didn’t want to go see Ruan Zeyan.
His tone beca gentler after realizing that. “If you’re not feeling well, then stay ho. I’ll be back after a short while”
Right then, Du Gang opened his mouth again. “My apologies Mr. Ling, my boss instructed that Mrs. Ling has to be there too.”
“Why...?” Ling Tao was stunned. Seeing how firm Du Gang was on it, it seems like Qu Wan had no choice but to go. “What exactly is going on?”
Du Gang gave a short head shake. Faced with Ling Tao’s questions, he could only reply plainly, saying, “You will know when you get there.”
Since that was what was said, Ling Tao realized that sothing wasn’t right, even if he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
He was just worried sothing had happened between Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan, and he did not consider any other possibilities.
Qu Wan is panicking. She took a look at the ti. If everything had gone smooth, Mr. Bai should have been done with Ling Tianya by then.
She had never received news from Mr. Bai at all.
Sothing must have gone wrong...
Could it be that Mr. Bai had failed?
That was impossible! Mr. Bai had said that it was an infallible plan. Mr. Bai had never failed his missions before, so why should this ti be an exception?
Qu Wan looked at Du Gang, looking at how calm he seed to be. He didn’t look like sothing huge had happened.
Qu Wan cald herself back down. She was just scaring herself for no reason, how could sothing go wrong?
“Mr. Ling, my boss is waiting for you.” Du Gang reminded.
Ling Tao didn’t spare it any more thought and dragged Qu Wan to change upstairs, before enthusiastically following Du Gang.
If Yaya and Ruan Zeyan really were facing problems, then he would stand by his daughter’s side no matter what.
Mada Ling followed them out, asking Du Gang unhappily, “Why was I not invited?”
She was the most senior person in the Ling family, so there was no reason to not bring her.
Du Gang could still rember Mafam Ling’s greedy face from when the Ruan family treated all of them to dinner, so he deadpanned, saying, “I’m just following orders.”
Madam Ling watched as Du Gang took Ling Tao and Qu Wan away, leaving her alone at ho and leaving her to seeth in her anger.
