Ling Yuqing’s face was filled with pure sincerity. With how much she was humiliated the night before at the dinner, it was impossible that she wasn’t emotionally affected at all. It had to be that Qu Wan had sat her down for a good talk, that was why she was there even with every single cell in her body was rebelling. Besides, the prior day’s main drama was surrounding Guan Meiyi, and the person at the tips of everyone’s tongue was also Guan Meiyi, no one would really bother too much about Ling Yuqing, the no-name Ling family’s daughter. Ling Tianya was too lazy to expose her cover either, so she merely nodded her head in passing.

Ling Yuqing was surprisingly silent about the prior day’s events. She merely worked diligently by Zhang Ke’s side, helping her with all the menial tasks.

When Ling Tao called her, Ling Tianya was reading Zhang Ke’s finished script. What was supposed to come eventually would come. With a brief glance at Ling Yuqing, she didn’t avoid her and picked up the phone.

“Yaya?” Ling Tao experimentally asked, extra careful about it since last night, when they had scolded the wrong person. After confirming that Ling Tianya was not with Ruan Zeyan at that moment, Ling Tao’s tone obviously slackened as he requested for Ling Tianya to come back home in order to discuss the things that happened.

Ling Tianya didn’t have much to do that day, so she agreed to Ling Tao’s proposition.

Ending the call, Ling Yuqing’s eyes flickered. “Was it Daddy?”

Ling Tianya looked at her, not saying a thing.

Ling Yuqing carefully schooled her face into one of concern, “Sis, Granny got so angry yesterday, even Aunt and Uncle called back home to scold Daddy, saying that if you marry Mr. Ruan, they will break off their relations with Daddy.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Ling Tianya barely cared, “So what?”

Ling Yuqing was rendered speechless by Ling Tianya’s rebuttal she forgot, that Ling Tianya had evolved to have absolutely no shame. How was she still able to act like nothing was wrong even when she was absolutely swarmed in scandals?

In the Ling family, just as Ling Tao put down the phone, Madam Ling hurriedly asked about it. “How did it go? Is that kid going to come back?”

“Yes, she’s coming back.”

Madam Ling’s eyes flashed with malicious intent. “Ling Tianya turned out this way because of your lack of education! She was vile enough to cause Qu Wan to lose the baby, and now she’s gotten worse, and seduced Meiyi’s man! What kind of a father are you? You can’t even discipline your own daughter. I’ll discipline her for you today when she comes back!”

Ling Tao remained tastefully silent as he listened to his own mother lecture him. Since the night before night, he had been on the receiving end of his sister’s and mother’s reprimands, and it just made him even more frustrated than he usually was.

Right then, the caretaker, Miss Zhang, rushed in hurriedly. “Here! Here!”

“Who’s here?” Madam Ling raised her skeptical eyes, “That brat is here? So quick?”

“Not Miss Tianya, it’s Mr. Ruan that’s here!”

“Mr. Ruan?” Madam Ling blinked in confusion, before her eyes blew huge in surprise, “You’re saying that Ruan Zeyan is here?”

“Exactly. The car’s in our front yard, and there’s several of them. Other than the one that he’s in, the other cars are filled with all kinds of things. I took a peek, and they’re all valuable items of good quality. Right now, Mr. Ruan’s assistants are moving them out of the car, and they’re coming into the house as we speak.”

The moment Ling Tao heard that Ruan Zeyan was coming, he jumped out of the chair in a hurry, rushing to the door to invite them in.

Madam Ling allowed Miss Zhang to support her as she anxiously walked towards the door.

Even Qu Wan, who was just standing by the side silently waiting to watch Ling Tianya be lectured, had also followed out with a frown.

When the few of them reached the door, Ruan Zeyan was just getting out of the car. The well-built man stood under the sun, gentlemanly and elegant, but his eyes had an indecipherable depth.

In the living room, Ruan Zeyan sat in the middle of the sofa and wiped off the little beads of sweat that had appeared on his forehead in his nervousness. It was the second time that Ruan Zeyan had stepped into the Ling family’s home. The first was during Madam Ling’s eightieth birthday. That day wasn’t Ruan Zeyan there for Ling Tianya as well? They didn’t pay too much attention to it back then. Could it be that they had already been in a relationship back then?

“Mr. Ruan, may I know what all these things are...?” Ling Tao pointed to the antiques, jades, calligraphy art, and paintings that were strewn all around the living room.

Madam Ling loved antiques and jades, and Ling Tao loved calligraphy and painting. Their living room was filled with those expensive, rare, valuable, and premium quality art pieces. They were pieces that the Lings didn’t even dare to dream about.

Madam Ling excitedly inspected the antiques and jades. She had many years to her name and she felt that she had seen many good things in her entire life, but with the pieces that were before her eyes that day, she truly understood just how little she knew.

Ruan Zeyan looked at how Ling Tao was absolutely tense and jittery, and he couldn’t help but frown. His future father-in-law was way too cowardly.

With Ruan Zeyan’s frown, Ling Tao immediately got even more nervous, his cold sweat freely dripping down his back.
