Chapter 949 - Used (3)

“It was a big issue. Ruan Guofu was taken to the torture chamber. When he came out, he was almost paralyzed. Miss Mandy, on the other hand, isn’t part of the Ruan family, so Ruan Zeyan didn’t even send her to the police. All he did was to send her off to North Africa.” Zhang Ke’s tone was calm as she explained the events.

That wasn’t what Mandy had told Wang Manpeng. She had attributed everything to the fact that Ling Tianya was petty, and Ruan Zeyan had sent her away out of spite. She had said something along the lines of him trying to please his wife, and she was the sacrifice of his intentions, of course.

Wang Manpeng had believed what Mandy had told him, but he also trusted Zhang Ke’s words. There was no reason why Zhang Ke would lie to him regarding this matter.

Ling Tianya watched Wang Manpeng’s reaction and she continued, “Mandy mustn’t have told you about the fact that Ruan Guofu wanted to silence her and murder her. I was the one who sent men to save her when she was at gunpoint.”

Wang Manpeng’s expression tightened, and he remained silent.

Yes, Mandy had not mentioned that either.

“Looks like Mandy hasn’t told you anything at all. She has completely conjured up her own story and turned the tables against us. She blames everything on me and Ruan Zeyan, doesn’t she. I bet she calls us petty and cold.”

At Ling Tianya’s interrogation, Wang Manpeng was silent. Well, silence was the best answer she could get.

“Even in North Africa, I don’t believe that anyone had truly mistreated her or tortured her in any way. Mandy had enjoyed the perks of being around Ruan Zeyan for years. She had been spoiled by the cushy lifestyle the Ruan family offered. She was merely going through some adjustment issues over there in Africa. When she was torturing me earlier today, she complained about the sun in Africa, how there was a lack of air-conditioning. She complained about the lack of shopping malls, the lack of water for her to wash her hair every single day. She basically complained about the loss of the comforts of life.” Ling Tianya looked at Wang Manpeng seriously. “Can I ask you, is that really that terrible a life? Was she really mistreated? After what she had done, Ruan Zeyan spared her any harsh punishments and sent her away to North Africa on your account. Wasn’t he already trying to take care of her? He was mindful of you, someone he considered his brother. Have you ever seen Ruan Zeyan show compassion to anyone else?”

Wang Manpeng was speechless after Ling Tianya’s series of questions.

“Alas, you and Mandy Wang are siblings, and you are both ungrateful people!”

“Ling Tianya, you can describe me and insult me however you like, but I am not ungrateful! If I have to call it, Ruan Qishan is the real ungrateful one here!” Wang Manpeng was agitated at Ling Tianya’s insult. It seemed to be something that really triggered him.

“Why do you hate the Ruan family so much? So much so that you want everyone dead?” After so many questions, Ling Tianya finally got to the crux of the issue. She had to figure out why Wang Manpeng hated the Ruan family to the core.

“You’ve been waiting to get to this, haven’t you? This is what you really want to know?”

Ling Tianya was flustered when Wang Manpeng saw through her intentions. She already fleshed things out for him. She knew that Wang Manpeng would tell her the truth now.

She was right. Wang Manpeng sat upright and looked Ling Tianya in the eye. “Since you really want to know, let me tell you then. I’ll let you know what kind of family the Ruan family really is, and what kind of person Ruan Qishan really is.”

With that, Wang Manpeng lit a cigarette. It was the second one he had smoked since they started talking.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
