When Ling Yuqing got home, she was looking forward to hearing how Ling Tianya was dealt with. Instead, she found Ling Tao and Madam Ling ordering the servants to move antiques into the living room.
Ling Tao saw Ling Yuqing and greeted her with a big grin, “You are home, Yuqing!”
“Yeah.” Nodded Ling Yuqing, “Where is Sister Tianya?”
The face of Madam Ling became awkward when she heard the name of Ling Tianya. Ling Yuqing was surprised that her usual expression of detest was not there.
Ling Tao looked extremely proud with his eyes squinted together. “Yaya has gone out with Mr. Ruan.”
“Mr. Ruan?” Ling Yuqing looked shocked. “Ruan Zeyan?”
“Yes.” Ling Tao said happily, “Mr. Ruan came to our house today and brought all these things. Then he left with your Sister.”
“They left together...” Ling Yuqing repeated the words, still in shock. Things didn’t play out as she thought. “Dad, where is my mom?”
Ling Tao was so excited earlier that he forgot all about Qu Wan. He looked around and pointed upstairs. “She’s probably in the study.” Then he turned his attention back to the precious paintings. There was no doubt that Ruan Zeyan had deep pocket – the pieces he brought were all rare collections from well-known artists.
Ling Yuqing went to look for Qu Wan anxiously.
Inside the study, Qu Wan was meditating, but it was clear that she was really depressed.
“Mom, how come Ruan Zeyan came to the house?” Ling Yuqing busted in and startled Qu Wan. “I told you so many times, knock before you enter!” Qu Wan sneered at Ling Yuqing.
Ling Yuqing made a face. “What’s the matter? Dad is not here. He’s busy looking at those paintings downstairs!”
Qu Wan’s depression deepened when she heard that, “He’s been doing that since Ruan Zeyan left, not caring about anything else. All that’s on his mind is Ling Tianya and she has not even married Ruan Zeyan yet. Can you imagine when she actually marries into the Ruan Family? There’ll be no place for you and me in this family when that happens.”
Qu Wan became even sadder and took Ling Yuqing’s hand, “I can deal with it, but I worry about you. You were the only daughter in the Ling Family before Ling Tianya showed back up. Even though you were not his biological child, Ling Tao took you as his own. If it was just Ling Tianya herself, it wouldn’t be so bad, but now there’s also Ruan Zeyan! Did you know that Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya met six years ago and were each other’s first love?! Ling Tianya must have planned this for a long time! The reception night was obviously a trap the two of them set together to humiliate you and Meiyi!”
Ling Yuqing face still hurt when she thought about that evening. She didn’t expect that Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan had that kind of relationship. “I don’t believe the Ruan Family would let an infamous woman like her in their door!”
Compared to the delighted mood in the Ling Family, everything was covered in a thick rain cloud at the Guans. Guan Meiyi sat on the couch staring at nothing with a pale face. She didn’t want to turn on the TV, pick up the phone, or touch the computer. She didn’t want any connection with the outside world because she knew she was the biggest joke out there.
Ling Qi was making a whiny sound nearby. Her arm was still hurting, and she was on the verge of collapse.
“Damn! Those sons of bitches!” Guan Jianling cursed angrily as he walked in the room.
