Chapter 161 - So Very Ugly (1)
When they heard the words “my fiancée”, the faces of Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi could be described as very ugly, and there was a little of embarrassment mixed in there.
Wang Yazhi looked at them with the similar embarrassing look, and immediately dismissed the servant. “What fiancée, the Chairman and I have not agreed yet.”
After being reprimanded, the servant nodded repeatedly. When Ruan Qishan waved his hand at the servant, the man quickly left.
Ruan Qishan folded the newspaper up and looked at the door. He didn’t think Ruan Zeyan would bring Ling Tianya home without saying anything. There was a faint anticipation growing in his heart.
Hearing that Ling Tianya was coming, Ling Qi was not happy. The reason she put her dignity aside and came with Guan Meiyi to the Ruan’s was to ensure Guan Meiyi’s innocence in the whole thing. Furthermore, Guan Meiyi’s public image was in crisis, and Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi were influential people. As long as they were willing to vouch for Guan Meiyi, it would be much more effective than doing crisis management.
Ling Qi had another thought. Wang Yazhi had treated Guan Meiyi as her future daughter-in-law for so many years, and that idea was so deep-rooted that it was not going away overnight. As long as they had a good relationship with Wang Yazhi, Guan Meiyi might still have a chance to marry into the Ruan Family. After all, she had put in so much efforts in bringing up her daughter to be like Wang Yazhi. That mustn’t all go to waste.
Everything was going as planned. Wang Yazhi believed her words, and Ruan Qishan did not show any objection either, but then, there came Ling Tianya, as the fiancée of Ruan Zeyan!
Ling Qi gritted her teeth as she stared bitterly at Ling Tianya who slowly came through the door.
When she came in the door, Ling Tianya faintly heard voices in the living room. When she got closer, it turned out to be her aunt Ling Qi and her cousin Guan Meiyi.
Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ruan Zeyan. Ruan Zeyan looked back with a frown and said coldly, “Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t know they were here.”
Ling Tianya relaxed her eyebrows and chose to believe what Ruan Zeyan said. He would not have brought her if he knew Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi were there.
Looking at Ling Tianya, who was dressed in a complete casual fashion like a student, Wang Yazhi scowled so hard that her eyebrows could squish a fly. Obviously, in her mind, it was one thing that she didn’t accept Ling Tianya, but another that Ling Tianya showed up in no makeup and casual clothes. She felt she was disrespecting her.
Ruan Qishan didn’t seem to be bothered by Ling Tianya’s casual appearance. Rather, he was somewhat surprised. She was wearing a ponytail, a pair of jeans and no makeup. In sharp contrast, Guan Meiyi had obviously spent a lot of time on her appearance with the delicate makeup and the brand-name dress.
They were at home, and outside Ruan Qishan was used to seeing women who were meticulously dressed and pretentious. When he looked at Ling Tianya, she was more like a daughter who just came home from school, relaxed and casual. On the contrary, Guan Meiyi seemed very calculated with her overly delicate appearance.
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Ruan Qishan was referring to Ruan Zeyan bringing Ling Tianya home.
“It just happens that we both had time.” Ruan Zeyan answered very casually, taking Ling Tianya and sitting down on the chair next to Ruan Qishan. It was a sofa chair meant for one person, so Ruan Zeyan had Ling Tianya on his lap, super intimately.
Guan Meiyi saw with her own eyes that Ruan Zeyan was showing his love for Ling Tianya so publicly. She bit her lips and the color of her face was switching between pale and blue. Ling Qi was clenching her teeth, trying to restrain herself from rushing over and tearing Ling Tianya into pieces.
“Is Miss Ling here?” Everyone heard the voice of Madam Ruan before seeing her in person. A few seconds later, an old lady in qipao walked over swiftly, smiling. As soon as she saw Ling Tianya, she pulled her up and into her arms. “You naughty girl, what took you so long to come see your grandmother!”
When Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi arrived, the old lady claimed that her head hurt, and she didn’t want to see anyone. Ling Tianya was there, and she couldn’t wait to come out and her, not a trace of that headache left.
Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi were simply too angry, their faces changed from blue to purple, and from purple to red…
