Unexpected Second Chance at Love-Chapter 853 - Lady Boss Is In Trouble

Chapter 853 - Lady Boss Is In Trouble

Yue Ling was able to have a heartfelt conversation with Liu Ye and Jianan. It was as if the boys had never gone through any suffering.

"Boss, can I talk to you outside?"

In the middle of their conversation, Liu Shan interrupted with a severe expression. He didn't wait for Yue Ling to answer and walked out of the room.

Liu Ye and Jianan were confused by the man, but Yue Ling knew it was something important. Liu Shan is never the type to interrupt unless it is serious.

She smiled reassuringly to the two boys and stood up to follow her assistant.

"I'll be back. You two can chat with Lin Hui and the others."

She made quick eye contact with her subordinates and stood up from her seat before heading in the direction her assistant had gone.

Liu Shan had walked a short distance away from the room.

When Yue Ling saw this, she knew that he had something to tell her and didn't want the two boys in the room to hear.

She stops a few feet to the side of her assistant. She turned to face the substantial floor-to-ceiling window and calmly spoke.

"What is it?"

Liu Shan faced the same direction as her. He stares out to the busy street with people and cars passing by.

"He's underweight."

Hearing this, the space between Yue Ling's eyebrows slightly creased. She recalls Jianan's appearance and his wish.

"What do you mean?"

"He's ten."

Liu Shan didn't hesitate to answer. His usual calm expression turns into anger, and he looks at his boss while pointing to the break room.

"When I first saw him, I thought he was seven or eight, but I asked him how old he was earlier. He said he was 10. Even Liu Ye agreed."

He wasn't angry at the fact that Jianan was ten. He was mad at the fact that the boy didn't look his age.

One can always tell if it was due to genetics or not. However, in Jianan's case, one could almost see his bones, and his complexion did not look too good.

The frown on Yue Ling's face intensified. She stares at the blank space in front of her without questioning Liu Shan's anger.

When she first saw Jianan, she noticed how skinny he was, and due to his small appearance, even she thought he was at least seven or eight.

However, to hear that he is actually ten was a huge surprise and shock for her.

"That bastard... I should have just killed him back there. How has he been feeding these kids? Did he let them starve while he slept in alcohol?"

Liu Shan growled through his tightly clenched teeth. The veins on his forehead became visible as the blood inside him boiled.

His words caused Yue Ling to return to her senses. She reaches inside her coat pocket and takes out her phone.

She dials a number then places her phone by her ear.

Liu Shan wanted to ask who she was calling, but her following words answered his unspoken question.

The call rang once before an elderly man's voice could be heard from the other line. However, before the person could say a word, Yue Ling spoke first.

"Doctor Dong, this is Yue Ling. I want to set an appointment for a friend."

It didn't take long before the appointment was made and the conversation ended.

Yue Ling turns her head to look at Liu Shan, and she sighs a faint smile.

"I know you are angry, but I hope you can overcome that anger. No matter what life they lived before, we will provide a better one."

*vr vr

Just as her words fall, she feels a vibration from her phone. She looks down at the screen and opens the message sent to her.

She looks back at her assistant and places a hand on his shoulder.

"Ju Suo was able to pick up Liu Ye's sister. I need you to bring the boys to meet up with them. Lin Hui and I will follow later."

She doesn't say anymore and walks back to the break room. As she entered the room, her eyes met Lin Hui, and she nodded her head.

Her small gesture was enough for Lin Hui to understand. He patted Jianan on the head and stood up from his seat.

"I have to go somewhere. I'll be back."

He looks at Liu Ye with a smile.

"Take care of your little brother."

As he leaves the room, Yue Ling walks over to the two boys. She squatted down to be at level with them.

"My friend Ju Suo was able to pick up your sister from school. Liu Shan will take you to meet her. Okay?"

Both Liu Ye and Jianan were surprised to hear that their sister had been saved too. Their heads nodded simultaneously as each boy did their best to contain their tears of happiness and relief.

They were going to all be together again.

Yue Ling looks at the two boys for a long second before standing up. She walks out of the room without turning back to look at them.

As she reached the door, Liu Shan entered the room. He had calmed his anger down and walked straight to sit with the boys.

He didn't want them to see or know that he was angry.

Yue Ling doesn't say a word to him and walks away with Lin Hui.

Right now, they needed to go somewhere.

* Ring ring

Just as the boss and assistant walked out of De L'amour, someone's phone rang.

Lin Hui glanced at his boss, and seeing that she wasn't going to answer, he pursed his lips.

"I know you're being considerate of a single man like myself, but you should answer the call. It might be your cold-blooded yet handsome soon-to-be husband."

His words that were full of sarcasm, dumbfounded Yue Ling. She scoffed a chuckle and continued to walk to the car but didn't forget to respond.

"It's not my phone."

Lin Hui stumbled in his steps but quickly steadied himself. He stares at his boss with a perplexed face.

If the phone ringing didn't come from his boss, then whose phone is ringing?

The second he thought this, he came to realize that it was his phone.

He searches his body and takes out his phone from the inner pocket of his jacket.

When he saw the name of the caller on the screen, he frowned and answered.

"Why are you calling me?"

[ "Why can't I call you? What are you doing?"]

A man's voice could faintly be heard from the other line, and Lin Hui sighed. This person always called him just to ask what he was doing.

He massages his forehead and answers.

"I'm going to the police station with my boss. I'll call you later."

He ended the call as he arrived at Yue Ling's white BMW ✗5m.

However, seeing her enter the driver's seat, he sighs again and walks around the car to get inside from the passenger side.

As the two individuals drive away from De L'amour and head for the police station neither was aware of the person who called Lin Hui.

In the distance, Xu Long stood outside of Lu Corps with his jaw dropped to the concrete ground.

He was the person Lin Hui had just hung up on over the phone.

However, he still had his phone against his ear since he could not move his frozen arm.

He had just clocked out and was heading home but decided to call Lin Hui to see what the man was doing.

Never did he expect to hear such words.

After an eternity had passed by, he regained consciousness, and his head darts in all directions in search of someone.

He sees the person he was looking for and rushes after the person.

"Boss! Wait! Boss! Boss! Wait!"

Lu Tian was about to enter his car when he heard his assistant. He ignores the man and opens his car door.

Right now, he just wants to go home and see his wife. Whatever Xu Long has to say, can wait.

He thought this, but Xu long's following words made all his movements stop.

"Something happened! Lady boss is in trouble!"

Xu Long screamed at the top of his lungs. He didn't care about the stares of passersby and ran as if his life depended on it towards his boss.

He finally reached Lu Tian's car within seconds, with his breathing heavy. His hand holding his phone stuck out to show his boss.

"I just spoke with Lin Hui. He said he and the lady boss are going to the police station right now."

He squeezed out each word as he tried to catch his breath. When he was able to steady himself, he looked up at Lu Tian.

However, he quickly stiffened in place like a statue.

Lu Tian's expression was dark and dangerous. His cold eyes stares into his assistant's soul before entering his car.

"Get in."

Feeling the dark air surrounding them intensifies, Xu Long couldn't help but swallow a gulp.

"I can drive..."

He wanted to say he'd drive them to the police station, but all his words were cut short by Lu Tian's cold eyes that pierced his soul a second time.

Unable to help himself, he swallows another gulp and gets inside the passenger seat.

As he sat down, he buckled his seat belt and cursed inside with tears that would not shed from his eyes.

'Whoever it is, you better pray that I make it out alive. If I die during this car ride, I'll make sure to haunt you for the rest of your life!'

Lu Tian ignored his assistant's fear of his driving and turned the car on. A dangerous glint of light flashed across his eyes, and he stepped on the accelerator.

As he sped out of the parking lot and heads straight for the police station, Xu Long sat in the passenger seat, holding onto dear life.
