At her own birthday banquet, Madam Ruan said that to Ling Tianya in front of everyone. It was her public announcement that the future first lady of the Ruan Family could be no one else but Ling Tianya. In a way, that helped Ling Tianya establish her status in the Ruan Family. Because of that, people with keen eyes could easily tell that Madam Ruan had even higher regard for the future granddaughter-in-law who had yet to marry into the family than the wife of her own son.
There was no one who didn’t know that the old lady adored her grandson, because she would always talk about him. Back when Guan Meiyi was rumored to be marrying into the Ruan Family, both Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi admitted to it by default. Only the old lady never accepted it, nor did she try to hide her dislike of Guan Meiyi.
At the time, everyone thought that the old lady was too fond of her grandson, Ruan Zeyan, so she felt that no woman was good enough for him.
They did not expect that Ling Tianya, who appeared to have an insignificant family background, had miraculously gained the sole approval of the old lady.
What a mythical woman Ling Tianya was. She was able to capture the hearts of both Ruan Zeyan and Madam Ruan at the same time.
Third Mrs. Ruan was shocked too by the words of the old lady. The qipao that she paid a lot of money for and snatched from Ling Tianya landed back in Ling Tianya’s hands without any effort. On the other hand, not only did she spend all that money, she also offended the old lady. At the end it was a lose-lose situation.
Third Mrs. Ruan stared straight at the Phoenix Ascend and was blinded by hatred. She would rather that qipao be burned than land in the hands of Ling Tianya.
When she saw the miserable face Third Mrs. Ruan was unable to hide, Madam Ruan said coldly, “What is that face of yours? Do you have a problem with my decision?”
Third Mrs. Ruan was startled, but before she could speak, Ruan Guofu jumped in, “Of course not! We don’t have any problem. The qi pao was meant to be a gift to you and should have been burned for making you unhappy. Now you have found a much better place for it, so it’s wonderful. As an uncle, it’s also my hope that Zeyan and Tianya can have a beautiful life together.”
As Ruan Guofu wiped sweat off his forehead, he was secretly cursing his wife a thousand times over.
After hearing what Ruan Guofu had said, Madam Ruan decided to let it go and continued to talk to Ling Tianya with a smile. “Miss Ling, I see that this qi pao was made to my measurements. Take it back to the shop and have it tailored to your size. You have such a nice and curvy figure, not only perfect for wearing qipao, but I bet you’ll give birth to a son in the future!”
Ling Tianya had no psychological preparation for what the old lady just said. Her mind jumped so rapidly; the last minute she was still talking about qipao, and where did giving birth to a son come from?
The old lady said it in public, making Ling Tianya blush badly, but the old lady didn’t stop there and continued, “But I am not a close-minded old lady. Whether it is a boy or a girl, I will love it all the same as long as it is your and my grandson’s child. If it is a girl, she will be the princess at home, and Grandma will give her all the best things in the world. If it was a boy, it’s even better; the entire corporation of the Ruan Family will be his one day!”
When Madam Ruan said that, subtle changes happened on the faces of the people there. Ruan Guofu lowered his head and looked gloomy. Ruan Guosheng didn’t change his facial expression, but the dark reflection at the bottom of his eyes betrayed him.
Fire was burning inside Ling Tianya as well. She had not married Ruan Zeyan yet, and the old lady had already planned out their children.
“Oh, how many children do you plan to have?” Madam Ruan asked directly.
Ling Tianya did not know what to say.
Ruan Zeyan looked at Ling Tianya deeply and said, “The more, the merrier.”
Ling Tianya was stunned!
