Chapter 118 - My Love For You Is Your Prerogative (8)
Ling Tao was silent the moment he reached home, his face pinched as he sat on the sofa. Madam Ling was worried to the heavens, sitting beside Ling Tao, asking worriedly, “Say something! How’s the engagement? Did something happen? What kind of expression is that?”
Ling Tao tsked, before letting out a long sigh at his mother’s incessant line of questioning.
At that, Madam Ling panicked even more, “What happened to Meiyi? Gosh you’re insufferable!”
Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing stood by the side, watching as Madam Ling never asked about anyone other than Guan Meiyi since their entrance. She had shown absolutely no concern to the both of them, not to mention the huge swell on Yuqing’s face. Qu Wan glowered at Madam Ling, that old lady only thought about Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi!
Ling Yuqing felt extremely hurt that day, not only did she get slapped by Ling Qi, but had also gotten humiliated in public by Ruan Zeyan. She ended up as the butt of the joke of the night. Back home, Madam Ling didn’t even offer her a single bit of concern, and instead only mentioned Guan Meiyi. Ling Yuqing lacked Qu Wan’s self-restraint, and enigmatically shouted at her grandma. “Granny, the person that Ruan Zeyan wanted to marry was not Meiyi, Meiyi was humiliated in front of everyone!”
Ling Tao was getting his emotions ready to tell Madam Ling about the engagement before the outburst. Who knew that Ling Yuqing would just blurt it out so quickly, and so bluntly too, she had completely thrown him off his track. Ling Tao shot Ling Yuqing a sharp glare then. ( Box novel.c om )
That was the first time since Ling Yuqing had first stepped into the Ling family, that Ling Tao had glared at her. Ling Yuqing was used to being Ling Tao’s spoiled little princess, and Ling Tao had always let her. With Ling Tao’s sudden glare, Ling Yuqing had no idea how to respond except to panic. She hid beside Qu Wan.
“What!?” Madam Ling couldn’t control her emotions at Ling Yuqing’s words, grabbing onto Ling Tao’s arm tightly, sharply asking, “What’s going on? Hasn’t it all been discussed properly? We were announcing the two kids’ engagement! What do you mean Ruan Zeyan’s not marrying Meiyi? If he’s not marrying Meiyi then who?!”
Ling Tao had initially planned to beat around the bush when telling his mom about the issue, but with Madam Ling so agitated, Ling Tao was at an even more of a loss as to how to approach the topic.
Qu Wan chuckled at Madam Ling’s comical face, “Ling Tianya, Ruan Zeyan’s marrying Ling Tianya.”
“You–!” Ling Tao helplessly glared at Qu Wan. What was with the two of them, weren’t they usually very considerate of others? Why were they being so direct and blunt?
Qu Wan huffed, “Tao, did I say it wrong? It’s better to just give it to Mom like that, no matter how you change it around, that’s the truth. No matter how indirect you are, what can you change?”
Qu Wan’s words made a lot of sense, Ling Tao’s gaze on his mother was conflicted. Seeing Madam Ling so hurt, Ling Tao felt slight waves of guilt, after all the entire thing was because of his daughter.
“Ling Tianya? How can it be that bitch Ling Tianya?” Madam Ling couldn’t accept the reality, “Didn’t she just come back to China? She’s never even seen Ruan Zeyan more than a handful of times…”
Ling Tao had absolutely no idea either, but seeing Ruan Zeyan interact with Ling Tianya, it didn’t seem like they had just met. Ruan Zeyan seemed to have mentioned something about six years ago, could it be that they had known each other back then? How could it be? Six years ago, wasn’t Ling Tianya getting ready to be married to Li Chenfeng?
“I know!” Madam Ling suddenly stood, “Ling Tianya must have seduced Ruan Zeyan! Her mom’s a cheating hussy, she definitely isn’t anything good either! She saw that Meiyi’s man was good, so she used every trick in the book to seduce! Bitch! The both of them, bitches!”
Even though Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing both loathed Madam Ling for only caring about Guan Meiyi, seeing her scold Ling Tianya like that definitely comforted them.
Madam Ling’s wrinkled and skinny finger pointed at the phone, screeching at Ling Tao, “Call her, call that bitch, get her to come back! I have to teach her a lesson, I won’t let her off that easily!”
