Attempting To Change the Heir (7)

This was the first time Xu Cheng had ever heard this story. If Huang Ying hadn't been telling the story herself, Xu Cheng would never have believed that her own mother was capable of doing such things.0

"Mom, you actually bought a baby from traffickers?" Xu Cheng asked in shock. Her voice squeaked slightly as she spoke.

Huang Ying looked at Xu Cheng nervously. Eric turned to Xu Cheng as well, putting his finger on his lips and asking her to be quiet.

Xu Cheng realized she was being too loud. They didn't want to raise unwanted attention from others in the café.

"Could you tell me the name of your classmate who asked you to help her buy a baby?" Eric asked, his eyes darkening.

Huang Ying swallowed and said, "Yu Meizi."

Hearing the name, Eric drew in a sharp breath. "It really… It was really her…"

"What are you talking about? It was really whom?" Huang Ying looked at Eric, worried. There were butterflies in her stomach, and she regretted telling all this to Eric. He now looked weird, panicked, shocked, unwilling, and lost. All sorts of emotions were crossing Eric's face.

"Are you sure her name was Yu Meizi?" Eric asked Huang Ying one last time.

Huang Ying nodded slowly, "That's right."

Eric closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there was a touch of malice in them. "You really don't know who Yu Meizi's husband was?"

"I don't know! She never told me. We never contacted each other after she bought the child from me. I thought that human trafficking was nothing to be proud of. She didn't contact me, so I didn't want to get in touch either. Twenty years have passed. If you hadn't brought this up today, I would have forgotten about it!" Huang Ying was fidgetting nervously. "I did what I did for money. I lost my mind. I was terrified for a long time afterward, but no one ever approached me about it. So I gradually let it go. But wait, you still haven't told me how you know about all this? What do you want from me?"

Eric sneered. "It looks like the baby girl you bought from the human traffickers twenty years ago was the birth daughter of my boss, Lina, the president of LAYNA."

"What?" Huang Ying and Xu Cheng shouted at the same time.

"If Lina finds out that you bought her daughter from the traffickers, she won't let you go easily, Ms. Huang."

Eric spoke gently, but his words awoke a deep-seated fear in Huang Ying. She didn't who Lina was, or what kind of corporation LAYNA was, but from what she knew about Eric, this woman must be some sort of boss to him.

However, what Eric said next would be so nightmarish that all her other worries would pale in comparison.

"Also, if the baby girl found out that you were part of the trafficking-ring that sold her, she would come after you as well," Eric said gently.

"What are you talking about… The baby girl… She…" Huang Ying stuttered.

Eric's face hardened. "If you have no idea who Yu Meizi's husband was, I shall tell you right now. Her husband is from the Ling family. His name is Ling Tao, the president of the Ling Corporation. As for the baby girl you bought, she is the oldest daughter of Ling Tao, Ling Tianya!"

"Ling Tianya!" Huang Ying's hands trembled with the revelation. The glass next to her fell onto the floor and broke into a million pieces.
