It didn't take Lu AnLing long to get to the parking garage. Once there she found Kang Jun's Maybach and entered the car.
She entered the front seat, but when she did she noticed that Kang Jun was actually in the back.
"Come here," Kang Jun said and Lu AnLing followed his orders without complaint.
Once in the back, Kang Jun gestured for her to come onto his lap and she did as such. Her butt planted squarely on the man's crotch, but he didn't make any moves to touch her sensitives parts instead he just held her and pressed his forehead on her warm back.
"Since when did you know the mayor?" Lu AnLing said, unable to keep her curiosity at bay. Thinking about it, she bit her lip. "Or was it some type of trick?"
"No trick. I know him." Kang Jun laughed. Lu AnLing felt the vibrations on her backs and felt her whole body begin to tickle as if she was being prickled by many tiny needles.
Feeling this she smiled but then after a few minutes, the car went silent.
"What happened?" lu AnLing asked with a slight bit of fear in her voice.
"Nothing." Kang Jun said as he began to hold her tighter.
Lu AnLing: "Are you sure? Did something happen with Old Chong?"
Kang Jun shook his head. "I got a bit of information. Apparently, you're supposed to be dead, and the doctor who took care of our children was some doctor called Zhao Qin..."
"Zhao Qin?" Lu AnLing asked curiously.
"Yeah."
Lu AnLing frowned. "I think I know who that is..."

Meanwhile, as Kang Jun and Lu AnLing spoke, Kang Liang was still in the lounge watching the aftermath of Kang Jun's actions.
He watched as Gu Ning was on the floor crying her heart out while a few girls tried to comfort her. Though it wasn't many. Most people believed that Gu Ning had deserved it for being so high and mighty.
Kang Liang couldn't quite deny the truth of this. Kang Jun was always a bit cruel without any provocation but once he was provoked the man could destroy a person in a matter of seconds and Kang Jun had shown this to Gu Ning who could not do anything about it.
"She's so stupid for acting so arrogant with Kang Jun. The Kang Jun!"
"Yeah, you can't fight him... but my question is, is Kang Jun screwing Lu AnLing?!"
One girl shook her head. "Lu Shuya and Xiao Mian we're talking about how Lu AnLing is actually really smart when it comes to languages or something and she's doing freelance for the Kang Corporations. Either way, Kang Jun's getting engaged soon and he isn't interested in that kind of stuff... How unfortunate."
A girl smiled. "It is isn't it. I would love to have my own personal Kang Jun! But, anyways, working for Kang Corps!? That's so cool. I'm jealous. She must be loaded now. Plus she gets to see Kang Jun every day... I would die for that!"
A man beside the girl began to laugh. "Freelancers don't usually work in house and, you know, that thing Gu Ning was talking about, you know, about Yang Yize cheating on Xiao Mian with Lu AnLing... it must be complete bullshit. Like, they might have dated in the past but with someone like Xiao Mian by your side, why would you cheat?"
Another boy shrugged. "Personally, I prefer Lu AnLing. She's got brains and she's sexy and curvy!"
The man drew the figure of Lu AnLing's sexiness in the air with his hands.
Looking at this, Kang Liang frowned but then he suddenly laid eyes on the silhouette Wang Tingting who walked towards the door.
Once Wang Tingting had stood up for Lu AnLing. Kang Liang had barely noticed her because his concentration was on Lu AnLing but upon further examination, Kang Liang couldn't help but frown.
Kang Liang had only met the girl once but he could easily recognize her as Kang Nianxi's wife. The only problem was, he noticed she was wearing something that completely didn't suit her.
The man was about to go up to her and talk to her to see if she was alright but then, Zhao Fei appeared from behind Wang Tingting and put her hand on her shoulder.
Zhao Fei leaned over and whispered something into Wang Tingting's ear which caused the girl's face to darken.
She suddenly turned her gaze to stare right at Zhao Fei's face and she said something Kang Liang couldn't hear but by the pure animosity in her facial expression, Kang Liang could tell it wasn't good.
But no matter what it was about, Wang Tingting followed Zhao Fei out the lounge doors.
As soon as he saw that, Kang Liang turned to Zhao Hao and said, "I'm going to the washroom. Be right back."
He then left in search of Wang Tingting and Zhao Fei.
It didn't take him long to find them, because of the way the two acted, Kang Liang had easily assumed that the contents of their conversation was not a good one and there were only certain places which would give a person certain freedoms to be as loud as possible.
Once Kang Liang turned down the corner, just as what had happened with Lu AnLing, Kang Liang saw the back of Zhao Fei's hand come down hard on Wang Tingting's face. The motion was so quick that, even if Wang Tingting was anticipating it, she was not able to avoid it.
Zhao Fei: "Who the fuck gave you the right to open your stupid mouth back there?"
Zhao Fei was furious about what had happened. Not only had she lost the trust of Xiao Mian but also the good image she wore in Yang Yize's mind. This was all Gu Ning's fault. If the girl hadn't propagated the small bits of what she had heard from the conversation between Yang Yize and Lu AnLing, she wouldn't be in this mess but Gu Ning was taught a lesson by Kang Jun, now, what really pissed Zhao Fei off was the fact that Wang Tingting had opened her mouth.
Touching her cheek where Zhao Fei's slap had landed, Wang Tingting's cheek began to sting. She then touched her lip. Feeling a wetness and the distinct metallic taste in her mouth, Wang Tingting knew that she was bleeding but she didn't do anything. Not even say a word.
Seeing this scene, Kang Liang's heart clenched. He couldn't help but overlap this memory with one he had of his mother long ago.
The last memory he had ever had of his mother...
When he had seen Qiao Qingqing slap his mother until her face was all swollen. And without uttering a peep, the woman had just allowed it to happen.
Just when Kang Liang was beginning to feel more despair, Wang Tingting said,
"Screw you, Zhao Fei. I'm done being your purse puppy. I've been done for years now."
Hearing this Zhao Fei laughed and then she approached Wang Tingting. Zhao Fei looked at Wang Tingting's whole body, poked Wang Tingting's shoulder with her finger violently and said,
"Wang Tingting you might have married rich, but don't be foolish and think you're free of me just yet." Zhao Fei's voice was low and seductive but she wasn't trying to seduce anyone. For Wang Tingting she could compare the voice to that of a snake from the garden of Eden in the stories of the bible.
Hearing this Wang Tingting shivered. Zhao Fei immediately noticed this and smiled. "Your daddy owes my daddy a lot of money. Don't you think that because you no longer work under him or have anything to do with his company your free? With one word from me, your father can lose everything. "
Zhao Fei was not the joking type. If she said it, she meant it and Wang Tingting knew this well.
Not wanting to cause any trouble for her father, Wang Tingting backed away.
Seeing this submissive response. Zhao Fei smiled. "Good. Now be a good little bitch and fuck off."
"I'll call you if I ever need you okay?" Zhao Fei said as she slapped Wang Tingting hard but playfully on the cheek.
After saying this, Zhao Fei walked down the halls, leaving Wang Tingting in utter silence.
Wang Tingting was trying to find a way to fix everything or at least get things in control but for some reason, all she could see was darkness and the more she concentrated on the darkness, the more she wanted to faint.
Feeling herself lose her balance, Wang Tingting immediately ran to the bathroom. it didn't take her long to arrive. Once inside, she staggered to the toilet and there she quickly collapsed in front of a toilet bowl and began to vomit. She didn't even bother to close the door.
All the nerves from before had finally caught up to her and Wang Tingting couldn't stand it.
She could not see her future but whatever she imagined right now always seemed so bleak. She didn't want such a thing but she felt like she was being a puppet for everyone in her life.
As she stood over the toilet bowl, her breathing erratic and her heart beating hard against her rib cage, Wang Tingting wished for everything to be over.
She wanted to be happy already.
