Chapter 262: Calling Sneakily

The journey back home was arranged by the Ruan family.

Madam Ling’s face was clouded on the way. If not for the fact that the Ruan family’s chauffeur was in the same space, she definitely would have exploded.

The car headed directly to the Ling family’s mansion. Miss Zhang came out with a bright smile, but then she saw Madam Ling as she came out of the car.

Miss Zhang paused. Did things not go their way?

When she looked at Ling Tao, he seemed at ease, and that made Miss Zhang relax too.

She headed forward saying, “Madam Ling, Director, Ma’am, you’re back!”

Madam Ling huffed coldly, heading directly into the mansion.

Ling Tao sighed and followed her into the house too.

Qu Wan lagged behind. It was when she saw Madam Ling and Ling Tao heading in that she turned to Miss Zhang, who was still standing by the door. “Head on in first, I ate too much, so I’ll take a walk in the yard.”

Miss Zhang’s eyes twinkled, but she nodded and went inside.

Qu Wan walked to an empty corner in their yard, taking out her phone to make a call.

When the call connected the voice coming through sounded a little tired. “What is it?”

“What do you think? How’s the plan going? Why is Ling Tianya still alive and well?” Qu Wan was a little panicky. She knew something needed to change soon

“My men have been following Ling Tianya, but she’s always either with Ruan Zeyan or at home. We haven’t had a chance to act.”

Qu Wan was a little hysterical. “Ling Tianya will be married to Ruan Zeyan in three months. By the time she becomes a member of the Ruan family, there won’t be any chance anymore!”

The other person went silent for a moment. “I understand, when there is a chance, my men will act.”

Qu Wan sighed deeply before suddenly recalling something. She went on sounding agitated, “Today, at the table, I heard Ling Tianya mentioning that the ‘Hunting Allure’ production is starting again soon. Ling Tianya will definitely stay at the set the entire day, just like before!”

The other person immediately understood what Qu Wan meant. “Alright, I know what to do. Relax, I will not let that b**ch marry into the Ruan family!”

Finished with what she wanted to say, and having received the answers she wanted, Qu Wan hung up the call in satisfaction. The moment she turned, she saw Miss Zhang standing not too far away.

Qu Wan’s face instantly drained of blood. She walked forward and squinted at Miss Zhang. “Why are you standing here.”

Nervousness flashed through Miss Zhang’s eyes, “The director said that he would like to discuss something with you, and sent me out to look for you because you weren’t in the house.”

Qu Wan studied Miss Zhang, a flint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. “Did you hear what I said earlier?”

Miss Zhang shook her head. “No, when I saw that you were taking your phone, I didn’t dare disrupt you, and just stood here waiting for you.”

Qu Wan saw the distance between that spot and where she had been taking her call, trying to determine how much she could actually have heard. Finally, after seeing Miss Zhang’s innocent and panicked expression, her killing intent gradually melted away, switching to a look of coldness. “What does Tao want?”

Miss Zhang’s nervous heart finally calmed down. She scrambled to answer, “He said he wanted to discuss the matter of young Miss Tianya’s dowry.”

Qu Wan’s brows furrowed again at that. Did he actually want to discuss that b**ch’s dowry with her? If she had any say in it, she wouldn’t give her a single cent!
