Chapter 694: Her Thick-Skinned Act Paid Off

“What did you say?” Madame Ling couldn’t believe her ears, and she stared at Ling Tao in shock. “You’re crazy! I can’t believe you want to bring that wretched sl*t back home! What good will she do here?”

When Xiao Hong heard the news, she looked bitter. She had already predicted that Ling Tao might have those sentiments, but she didn’t expect him to bring it up so soon.

When he saw Xiao Hong’s expression change, Ling Tao held her hands tightly. “Don’t you worry. I’m only bringing her back so she can take care of Tianxin. Nothing will happen between the two of us.”

Xiao Hong nodded her head half-heartedly. There was nothing she could say at this point. Was she going to object and be the bad guy? Ling Tao might think that she was being petty. She knew him well. She knew that he was a good guy, but he was proud, and he had a soft heart.

“No!” Madame Ling was insistent. “I won’t allow that b*tch to come home. You can send Ling Tianxin to her, since she’s looking for her mama everyday. She can go stay with her mother.”

Ling Tao’s face was glum. “Ma, do you think Yu Meizi will be able to take good care of Tianxin? She won’t be able to provide a conducive environment for her. This is only a temporary plan. When Tianxin’s emotions settle down, I will make her leave again. Tianxin is the focus here.”

Madame Ling looked furious, Ling Tao had already made up his mind. She knew that there was no changing his mind now, no matter what she said. She stopped arguing and looked up at Ling Tianxin’s room on the second floor.

When Madame Ling stopped protesting, Ling Tao quickly concluded, “It’s settled then. I’ll talk to Yu Meizi later to tell her about the plan.”

Xiao Hong had no choice but to accept the arrangements at this stage and walked out of the living room quietly. She didn’t want to hear Ling Tao calling that woman.

Ling Tao sighed as he watched her walk away. He knew that she was upset. If he could, he wouldn’t want to meet Yu Meizi ever again, but he had to do this for the Tianxin’s sake.

When Yu Meizi received his call, she was taken aback. When she heard his proposal, she was even more shocked.

“Are you sure you want me to move back to the Ling villa? Your mother and that woman agreed to it?” Yu Meizi couldn’t believe her ears.

“They both agreed. You should pack tonight. Come by tomorrow and spend some time with Tianxin for a while. You are her mother, and you’ve never taken care of her before. You owe it to the child,” Ling Tao said with a heavy heart.

Yu Meizi was overjoyed, but she sighed over the phone, “I know I owe it to her. That was the reason why I lost control and ran back to the house when I heard that you brought her back. I didn’t expect Tianya to chase me away…” Yu Meizi choked up as she continued.

Ling Tao frowned. He didn’t want to hear her sob stories ever again, and he hardened his voice. “Tianya was right for doing that. It was for your own good.”

When Yu Meizi realised that she wasn’t going to win his sympathy, she held back her tears and replied, “Yes, I know she did it for my own good. Alright, I know, don’t worry, I will set off early in the morning tomorrow. I will probably reach you in the afternoon.”

“Ok,” Ling Tao hung up immediately after they were done talking.

Yu Meizi had more to say but the line had already disconnected. She put down the phone slowly.

It seemed like she had done the right thing by running back to the villa the last time. Her thick-skinned act had paid off! At least Ling Tao was approaching her voluntarily now.
