“Miss Laurent, she’s not going to make it anymore. She might just die if we continue beating her.”
Laurent was still stomping her feet angrily and hence, the bodyguards spoke hesitantly while staring at Luo Anning who looked to be on the brink of death.
“Hmph, it’d be best if she really dies! Keep close tabs on her. Don’t let her die, got it!?!”
“Yes, Miss Laurent.”
“Great.” She humphed and adjusted her dress which had gotten messy because of her actions just now. She then strutted away gracefully and left with arrogance.
…
In S City in China.
It had been two days since Rong Yan returned and he was now having a mid-year meeting in the conference room of Baina International. All of a sudden, his heart pounded rapidly and his right eyelid began to twitch.
He frowned with a sullen expression on his face which all of the sharp-eyed senior executives had noticed. Seeing that Rong Yan did not seem too pleased, they immediately stopped reading the reports.
Rong Yan rubbed his forehead and tried to suppress his uneasiness. He knocked his finger against the table and said, “Continue.”
The senior executives continued to read the reports after being granted permission. Only Xu Zhiyuan knew that Rong Yan had something on his mind.
As expected, he was summoned to Rong Yan’s office as soon as the meeting ended.
“Young Master Rong, do you have any orders for me?”
“What does it mean when my right eyelid keeps twitching?”
Xu Zhiyuan paused while pus.h.i.+ng his gla.s.ses up his nose bridge and thought to himself, were my ears playing tricks on me? Does the lofty and prestigious Young Master Rong actually believe in superst.i.tions too?
After giving it some thought, Xu Zhiyuan realized that he seemed to have seen something similar on the internet before. Hence he tried to recall what he read and explained, “It says on the Internet that there are two signs signified by eyelid twitching. When the left eyelid twitches, it means that there’s bound to be a blessing and when the right eyelid twitches, it signifies trouble and calamity. Young Master Rong, is your right eyelid twitching?”
The twitching of the right eyelid signifies disaster?
Rong Yan slipped into deep thought. Since Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua were doing fine, the disaster definitely would not fall upon them, let alone himself.
He was very healthy and would be escorted by bodyguards wherever he went. Putting the bodyguards aside, his close ties with Tang and Feng Churui were enough to ensure that no one from the triads or the business industry would dare to lay a finger on him.
A figure popped up in Rong Yan’s head and he suddenly asked, “What about Luo Anning? Has she returned home? Or is she still having fun overseas.”
The thought of it made him realize that time had really pa.s.sed quickly for it had been two weeks since he went on a business trip and she disappeared.
“Young Master Rong, wait a minute, I’ll call and ask.”
Rong Yan frowned and waved his hands in annoyance while Xu Zhiyuan turned around and exited the CEO’s office.
Not long after, Xu Zhiyuan entered with a sullen expression. He had even forgotten to knock on the door.
Noticing how panic-stricken Xu Zhiyuan was, Rong Yan decided to ask him about what was happening. However, before he could even do so, Xu Zhiyuan immediately came clean. “Young Master Rong, Young Madam did not return to China. She went missing in England, the bodyguards there lost track of her whereabouts after the first night! I can’t reach her anymore!”
“What did you say!?!” The veins on Rong Yan’s forehead began to bulge and he slammed his hand onto the desk before springing up.
Xu Zhiyuan dared not hesitate at all. He repeated the information that he had just received. At this moment, Rong Yan looked extremely stern, gloomy and murderous.
Did she go missing after I chased her out that night?
Did she not return to another room like I thought she would?
The thought of it made Rong Yan’s heart pound rapidly as he began to sense something amiss. She could not have stopped contacting them for no reason and it was not like her to go missing without a word.
