Chapter 1154: Ruthless CEO 44

Tang Wan received Mother Tang’s call just as Tang Ci was carefully dressing up in front of the mirror.

On the phone, Mother Tang’s tone had clearly softened, even carrying a hint of forced warmth.

“Since you’re already married, why don’t you come back for a meal? I’ll have Aunt Zhang prepare your favorite sweet and sour ribs.”

Tang Wan leaned lazily into Li Shuangtong’s arms, her voice light with a deliberately surprised tone. “Really? Alright, we’ll be there soon.”

She ended the call.

A faint sneer appeared on her lips.

—

“Tongtong,” she said casually, “should we eat something outside first? We can go back after we’re full.”

Li Shuangtong raised a brow slightly. “Weren’t we going to the Tang family for lunch?”

Tang Wan immediately shook her head. “Go there? I can’t eat there.”

Her tone was blunt, even slightly disdainful.

Li Shuangtong couldn’t help but chuckle, gently brushing his fingers against her slightly pursed lips. “Then why force yourself to go?”

“I’m not forcing myself,” Tang Wan said. “They suddenly invited me back now, it’s definitely because Tang Ci and Fu Yunshan will be there at noon.”

She leaned closer, eyes bright. “You’re so outstanding. If I bring you there, it’ll be enough to make them choke on their own expressions.”

“After my divorce, seeing me living better than them—of course they won’t feel good.”

Li Shuangtong’s eyes softened.

He liked her honesty like this.

“Alright,” he said simply. “I’ll listen to you.”

—

The two of them went to the same restaurant where they had once shared a meal, choosing a private dining room and ordering slowly, completely unhurried.

—

Meanwhile, Fu Yunshan also received Tang Ci’s call.

“Brother Yunshan,” Tang Ci said softly, “Wanwan… and her husband are coming back at noon. I want to resolve the misunderstanding between us. Can you come with me?”

Fu Yunshan’s gaze darkened instantly.

But his tone remained steady. “Alright.”

He wanted to see it for himself.

Whether Tang Wan’s so-called happiness was real… or just an act.

He didn’t believe a man like the president of LS Group would truly accept a divorced woman without hesitation.

—

At noon, the Tang family home was already prepared.

But by twelve-thirty, neither Tang Wan nor Li Shuangtong had arrived.

Tang Ci’s fingers tightened anxiously.

“Mom, where is Wanwan? Didn’t she agree to come back?”

Mother Tang’s expression turned sour. “She said she would come, but she still hasn’t shown up. Truly becoming more and more unruly.”

Then she turned to Fu Yunshan with a flattering smile. “Yunshan, sit down first. We won’t wait for her anymore. That unfilial daughter probably won’t come back.”

Fu Yunshan’s expression was equally unpleasant, a strange irritation building in his chest.

He didn’t even know why he had come.

Clearly, he was already married to Tang Ci.

Yet hearing Tang Wan’s name still pulled him here.

And now… he had been stood up.

Just as his mood darkened further—

A sound of a car stopping came from outside the house.
