Not long after, Lina emerged from the bedroom. In her hand laid an exquisite jewelry box. “Here’s a necklace that I purchased overseas. I have not worn it since my purchase, so please bring this to Tianya. Make sure she accepts it; it’s a gift of the heart.”
“Well…” The driver hesitated. They were only here to drop off Lina’s bags, not to pick up a gift from her. If they were to take back this gift, would young madam be upset?
“Chairman Li, this is not up to us to decide. We’re only here to deliver your bags.”
Lina smiled, putting the box in the driver’s pocket. “Just take it, if there are any issues regarding the young madam, just get her to give me a call. There are still matters that I have yet to settle here. You both can go.”
Seeing how determined Lina was, the driver didn’t feel comfortable to reject the gift any longer. He held onto the necklace and took his leave.
Xu Cheng bit her lip, as she saw how Lina had given away a necklace to Ling Tianya just like that. Although she didn’t own many luxury products herself, she was still familiar with certain famous luxury brands. From the look of the jewelry box, the necklace Lina had gifted Ling Tianya was valuable, easily up to a few ten thousands of dollars.
Such an expensive piece of jewelry, Lina had just gifted it Ling Tianya just like that.
Meanwhile, she remained cold to her supposed long-lost daughter, who was standing before her all along. Not to mention gifts, Lina hadn’t even offered her a cup of water.
Xu Cheng bit her lip as she glanced at Eric, whose expression darkened.
They are truly biologically related, Eric thought. At the same time, he panicked. It seemed like they couldn’t wait any longer. The DNA test needs to be done quickly to make Lina think that Xu Cheng was indeed her daughter so that they could go to Country D!
Furthermore, Ling Tianya and Lina shouldn’t be given the opportunity to interact any longer. It’s as if they’re telepathically connected, that’s too scary, he thought.
Xu Cheng didn’t stay on for long before Lina sent someone to send her home.
Truthfully, Xu Cheng didn’t want to leave that early. But she knew that being hasty wouldn’t do her any good. In the end, the DNA test had to be done anyway. Perhaps upon receiving the results, Lina would have to admit that Xu Cheng was indeed her daughter. Then, everything would change.
Xu Cheng stood at the entrance, wanting to hug Lina. But, the latter seemed to have no such intention of doing so. Xu Cheng could only wave goodbye rigidly. “Then, I’ll be going off first.”
“Mm, we’ll look through the DNA results on Monday.” Lina smiled, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“Alright.” Xu Cheng nodded and took her leave.
Not long after Xu Cheng’s departure, Lina got a call from Ling Tianya.
At the sight of Ling Tianya’s name displayed on the caller ID, Lina broke into a smile. “Tianya, I knew that you’d call me.”
As Lina chatted with Ling Tianya, she entered her bedroom, shutting the door behind her.
Eric remained in the living room. At the sight of how enthusiastically Lina was chatting with Ling Tianya, his heart twisted.
Back in the manor, Ling Tianya sat in her study. Holding up the necklace Lina had gifted her, she spoke into the phone, “This necklace is too expensive. How can I accept such a gift?”
“It’s a gift of the heart, just accept it. Don’t decline my offer, or else I’ll get angry. And when I’m angry, I will certainly cause trouble for your husband. You know that I’m an important business partner of his, and if I cause trouble, it’ll surely be a headache to deal with.”
