Seeing Ling Tao’s doubting eyes, Qu Wan knew that he had started to be suspicious of her. Even though he had said it was alright, inside his trust in her had already started to waiver.
Qu Wan was more and more worried as time passed. She was even more angry at Ling Qi, that absolute idiot. She only knew how to show off and flaunt her arrogance but was as stupid as an ant in real life. Even when she had leaked the information of Ling Tianya going to A City to her, not only had she not ruined Ling Tianya, she instead got herself into a bunch of trouble!
Qu Wan raised her head, meeting Ling Tianya’s smiling eyes. Instead of the warmth of a genuine smile, it was laced with the chill of a blade.
With just that one look Qu Wan was thrown off her rails. Unknowingly, Ling Tianya’s aura had bee so powerful! She had initially planned to help Yuqing gain some presence in the household when Ling Tao was feeling happier by saying some good things about her, but rather than helping Yuqing, she ended up making Ling Tao suspicious.
One meal had ended up in an unhappy resolution. Everyone’s appetite dissipated into the air. Ling Tao still held guilt for what happened to Ling Tianya. When she was about to leave, he constantly reminded her that she was wele there and should e back home more often.
Miss Zhang trailed after Ling Tianya to the main door. Just as Ling Tianya opened her car door and was getting ready to leave, Qu Wan came bounding out with a basket of fruits.
“Yaya, wait, take these fruits with you.” The exquisite basket hung off Qu Wan’s elbow, the fruit lying in it were bright and full of color, clearly handpicked from a batch of extremely high-quality fruits.
Ling Tianya merely took the basket calmly. “Thank you.”
Qu Wan passed the fruit to Ling Tianya, watching her as she placed the fruit in the car, but she had absolutely no intentions to leave.
Ling Tianya looked back at her, and that’s when Qu Wan broke into an awkward smile, directing her next words to Miss Zhang who was still standing at the side. “Miss Zhang, you can head back, I have some things to talk to Tianya about.”
Miss Zhang was clearly hesitant, she had wanted to send Ling Tianya off in order to make a good impression. Qu Wan came out with a fruit basket and snatched the chance from her!
Unfortunately, no matter how much Miss Zhang didn’t want to leave, she had to. No matter how unwele Qu Wan was, she was still Ling Tao’s wife and the Ling family’s female head.
It wasn’t until Miss Zhang had walked far, far away, that their conversation resumed. Ling Tianya gave Qu Wan a piercing look, her lips tugging into a smile. “Auntie, do you still have things you would like to tell me?”
Qu Wan ‘s smile was benevolent, taking Tianya’s hands in her own. Her words were sickly sweet. “Yaya, I know we’ve had some misunderstandings between us and I haven’t fulfilled my role as well as I should.”
Ling Tianya’s smile deepened, but her words still held absolutely no emotion whatsoever. “It’s alright, we’re all family after all.”
Qu Wan nodded, “I’m relieved that you think that way. You have to believe me, I didn’t leak the fact that you were going to A City on purpose…”
“Auntie, you don’t have to say anymore, isn’t the whole situation over? Besides, I wasn’t hurt in any way.” Ling Tianya paused, before changing the topic altogether. “Oh right, I suddenly remembered something.”
“What is it?” That same uneasy feeling had started to boil up again in Qu Wan.
“Zeyan has already helped me find Tianxin.” Ling Tianya fixed her eyes on Qu Wan, feeling the tension in Qu Wan’s hand tighten significantly.
“Ling Tianxin is found?” She thought to herself, “How can this be?! It’s impossible! She’s clearly already…”
Qu Wan felt as though her stomach was caught in the middle of a tsunami, her eyes were frozen forward looking at Ling Tianya. She wanted to confirm whether she was telling the truth or lying through her teeth.
Ling Tianya nodded. “Yes, we found her not too long ago. She’s a little injured, and not in a good place mentally, so she’s not cleared to see anyone yet. After some time, after she’s more stable, I plan to bring Tianxin and Dad to do another DNA test.”
