Chapter 738 - Let’s See Where You Will Put Your Face!
Wang Yazhi’s behavior made everyone laugh. However, now, they paid even more attention to Ling Tianya.
This woman was not simple. It was a miracle that she was had been able to get the cold and aloof Ruan Zeyan but now, the entire Ruan Family had been taken in by her. Even Madame Ruan, who was extremely hard to get along with, treated her extremely well.
However, for now, she was merely impressive on the surface. As outsiders, they wouldn’t know what she was like behind the shadows. They couldn’t believe that the Ruan Family wouldn’t change their attitude toward her when Ling Tianya gives birth to a daughter.
Right now, Wang Yazhi was simply flattering Ling Tianya in front of them. Perhaps this was all an effort that was only on the surface and was being done for others to see.
In any case, as the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, not being able to give birth to a son was like walking down the road of death. This was especially the case for the Ruan Family. If Ling Tianya’s firstborn was a daughter, then how many people would be criticizing her behind her back?
Xiao Cen looked awkwardly at Ling Tianya, staring unhappily at her nine-month pregnant stomach.
In the past, the entire world had said that the young madam of the Ruan Family was barren and many families had wanted to send their daughters into the Ruan Family to be with Ruan Zeyan and give him a child.
At that time, the Liu Family had also thought about this and they had wanted to send their daughter Xiao Cen into the Ruan Family. At that time, Xiao Cen was incredibly happy. Being Ruan Zeyan’s woman was like a dream come true.
To achieve this, the elders in the Liu Family had entertained Ruan Qishan and Madame Liu had gone shopping with Wang Yazhi many times.
However, at that time, the Ruan Family hadn’t given a certain answer and Xiao Cen had believed that she still had an opportunity. However, soon, more news appeared and it was discovered that it wasn’t that Ling Tianya was barren, but that she was already pregnant. She had been in the hospital not because she was treating her pain but because she was protecting her fetus.
When this news came out, Xiao Cen’s dreams of marrying into the Ruan Family were shattered.
As she looked at Ling Tianya now, Xiao Cen felt that Ling Tianya was the one who had blocked her path to becoming Ruan Zeyan’s woman. Originally, the seat beside Wang Yazhi was hers!
Madame Liu wasn’t aware of Xiao Cen’s thoughts. In the past, the Liu Family had wanted to marry her into the Ruan Family but had given up on the idea in the end. After all, even if she was accepted into the Ruan Family, she would be Ruan Zeyan’s mistress. Madame Liu would rather see Xiao Cen become a proper wife.
The reason she had brought Xiao Cen over today was that she wanted her to have contact with the madams and ladies in the circle. If one of the important ladies took an interest in her, then perhaps a marriage could be arranged for Xiao Cen.
Things were different from the way they had been in the past, and arranged marriages were no longer common. However, for a wealthy family, the child’s marriage was a way to attain more luxury. They could date but their marriage was arranged by the family.
Many children were engaged at birth for the sake of strengthening the two family’s business and the partnership between them.
Wang Yazhi’s afternoon tea party ended in the evening. In the middle of it, Ling Tianya began to feel a little bit sleepy and retired to her room to rest before the party ended.
Xiao Cen accompanied Madame Liu and stayed at the Ruan residence for the entire afternoon without seeing Ruan Zeyan who she longed to encounter. She was unhappy and after returning home spread the news that Ling Tianya was pregnant with a daughter.
Because she was uncomfortable and unhappy, Xiao Cen couldn’t allow Ling Tianya to be happy. Seeing her with her big stomach and seeing the entire Ruan Family revolving around her p*ssed Xiao Cen off.
Now, the entire outside world knew that Ling Tianya was pregnant with a daughter. Xiao Cen wanted to see what the reaction to that would be!
