Chương 51: Something Puzzling
Biên tập viên: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking at the phone in Ling Tianya's hand, Ling Yuqing realized that she must have sent someone to follow her and her mother the day they checked into the hotel. Every time they hung out in the public area, their conversation was secretly recorded.
The more Ling Yuqing thought about it, the more petrified she became. "Those recordings can never be played! She can't have those as evidence!" she thought.
All of a sudden, Ling Yuqing rushed at Ling Tianya like a wild animal. "Ling Tianya!" As she screamed her name, Ling Yuqing pushed Ling Tianya's right shoulder with great force. She actually wanted to grab the phone from Ling Tianya's hand, but that was all she managed to do at that moment.
Ling Tianya was not prepared for any of this madness. When she realized what was going on, Ling Yuqing's body was already right in front of her. Wearing high heels, the forceful push made Ling Tianya immediately lose her balance.
The railing on the patio was only slightly taller than her waistline.
It looked like Ling Tianya was about to lose her balance completely and fall over the railing. At that instance, a big and strong hand caught her and pulled her back. One second later, Ling Tianya's face was up against a manly chest.
The man had a familiar scent. Ling Tianya looked up and saw Ruan Zeyan's chiseled jawline and tightly closed lips.
Ling Tianya was baffled for a second. She thought Ruan Zeyan was standing by the dining hall entrance with quite some distance between him and her. How did he make his way over there in time to catch her?
She was also puzzled why the man did what he did. Wasn't he causing trouble for her for the sake of Guan Meiyi just a moment ago? Didn't he say to her face that she was disgusting? Shouldn't he be happy to see her fall over the railing? It was just the second floor, so she wouldn't die. Worst case scenario, she would break a bone or get paralyzed.
"Isn't this what Ruan Zeyan wants to see?" she thought.
Ruan Zeyan looked down at Ling Tianya. Meanwhile, Ling Yuqing just would not give up. She jumped over again, determined to get the cell phone.
"Du Gang!" Ruan Zeyan called out with a stern voice.
Responding to the order, Du Gang promptly stepped up and restrained Ling Yuqing.
"Let me go! Let go!" As a person with no physical strength, Ling Yuqing was no match for Du Gang who was trained in combat.
Guan Meiyi witnessed everything that had happened. She saw that when Ling Tianya was about to fall down, Ruan Zeyan ran with astonishing speed to pull her into his arms.
The scene hurt Guan Meiyi's heart deep down, but she pretended to show concern as she walked over. "Yaya, are you okay?"
Hearing Guan Meiyi's voice, Ling Tianya walked straight out of Ruan Zeyan's embrace, swiftly and decisively.
"I'm fine," she replied to Guan Meiyi. Then she turned to Ruan Zeyan. "Thank you, Mr. Ruan."
Ruan Zeyan kept a stern face the whole time, without saying a word. He pretended as if nothing happened. Only he knew that his chest was losing the warmth he was feeling just a moment ago.
"Miss Ling, do we need to call the police?" Du Gang asked as he was still restraining Ling Yuqing.
Ling Tianya looked at Ling Yuqing, who had calmed down by then and came to the unpleasant realization of what she had done. She burst into tears instantaneously. "Sister Tianya, I was wrong! Please forgive me, it was my fault, please don't call the police…"
