Back in the hotel, in Lina’s presidential suite, Eric had already set up all the relevant documents needed, save for everything had to do with Yu Meizi and Ling Tianya. All the documents only dated back to the moment when Huang Ying bought a child from a trafficker.
When Lina hurriedly entered the hotel room, she only saw Eric, sitting there on the couch.
“Where is she? Where’s my daughter?” Lina glanced around the room urgently.
“Calm down, Chairwoman. She’s in the washroom.” Eric stood up promptly, gesturing to the washroom. “She could be a little nervous; that’s why she went to the washroom.”
Lina nodded her head, feeling her heart in her mouth. She had been waiting for this moment for so long, but now that it was happening, it made her feel a little clueless about what to do.
This feeling made her feel a little flustered, and it all didn’t feel real.
Not long after, a flush sounded from the washroom. Lina pursed her lips, standing right outside the washroom. Without ever blinking, Lina stared straight at the washroom door.
Kacha. The door slowly creaked open. Lina began feeling more and more nervous.
Soon after, a woman emerged from the washroom.
After a clear look at this woman’s face, Lina’s expression darkened. She turned her head to look at Eric once more, her face filled with doubt.
This woman clearly was Ruan Zeyan’s cousin. Her age, as well as status, clearly didn’t match that of her daughter’s!
Why was she standing here!
Xu Cheng had heard Lina back in the washroom. Even though Eric had explained everything thoroughly, and she had already rehearsed what she had to say once she met Lina with Eric and Huang Ying earlier on, Xu Cheng still felt nervous. It was a first for her to impersonate someone else.
Before she made her way out of the washroom, Xu Cheng was still thinking of what her first words should be, what kind of expression she should make.
And what would Lina’s first words be? What kind of expression would she make? Would Lina embrace her out of excitement?
In the end, Lina did nothing like that. Instead, she just turned to Eric, her face filled with doubt. She clearly doubted Xu Cheng’s identity as her long lost daughter.
Such a reaction from Lina caused Xu Cheng to feel helpless, clueless about how she should react.
Eric had long expected such a reaction from Lina. A calm smile graced his features. “Chairwoman, Ms. Xu Cheng here is the girl that we’ve found according to the information we had. It’s really such a small world. I never would’ve thought that I was acquainted with your long lost daughter.”
Lina turned her head, regarding Xu Cheng once more. She didn’t know why, but the excitement in her heart began to die down slowly, and in place was a growing feeling of doubt.
“Take a seat; let’s have a talk.” These were Lina’s first words to Xu Cheng.
Lina’s reaction made both Eric and Xu Cheng feel somewhat disappointed. Her reaction was cold and collected. This wasn’t a good sign.
Lina took a seat on the single-seater sofa as Xu Cheng made her way to Eric’s side meekly.
In actual fact, Xu Cheng really wanted to hold Eric’s hand for moral support. She was a little scared and nervous, and with Lina’s nerve-wracking gaze, she felt even more unnerved. She was afraid that she would make a mistake anytime and expose herself.
However, despite how much she craved Eric’s touch, she held herself back. Eric had warned her earlier that before she could become the successor, they shouldn’t publicize the fact that they were a couple, as it would rouse the suspicion of Lina.
