Chapter 382: Like A Baby

Thoughts?

Ling Tianya mused over it, and she really didn’t think much of that.

“As long as you’re happy.” Ling Tianya gave a useless answer.

Ling Tao’s eyes glossed over with disappointment at what she said, but he had well expected it too. His Yaya didn’t care whether he would marry again or not, or what kind of woman he married; his previous divorces had all hurt her too much.

“I’ve only just divorced Qu Wan and have been through all these troubles. I don’t want to think about that right now. Besides, the Ling family’s a reputable one, and you’re about to be married into the Ruan family.

If I had really started something with Liu Fen, I can’t possibly give her the title of your step-mother and let her show up at all kinds of events. We would just be embarrassing you and making your life at the Ruan’s difficult.”

Seeing that Ling Tao was taking her future into consideration, Ling Tianya’s heart melted, and she continued, “I said that not to be sarcastic, but I truly feel that way. Dad, you’re only fifty, you still have decades before you. You can’t always be alone, there has to be someone by your side to take care of you.

I mean to say, if you like Miss Liu, then marry her. There’s nothing else to consider.

But if you don’t like her, then just treat her like you would a housekeeper. At most, she’s just a clueless servant, and if you really don’t like her, just find a mistake of hers and fire her. This house is yours. You are the one that has the most say.”

At Ling Tianya’s words, Ling Tao was so touched that he was on the brink of tears. His Yaya did have him in her heart as her father and considered things while keeping him in mind.

Ling Tao nodded. “I know. Even if I remarry, I will only marry someone kind and definitely not someone like Liu Fen.”

Finishing their discussion on this topic, Ling Tao brought out another file of documents and passed it to Ling Tianya. “Yaya, I don’t have much to give you for your marriage, you have no lack of money, and you don’t care too much about others either. This is what I have, and you have to keep it. Just take it as my dowry for you.”

Ling Tianya suspiciously took the documents from him. She fliped it open only to find that it was 25 percent of the shares of the Ling corporation.

Ten percent of the corporation’s shares were public, 39 percent were scattered amongst the rest of the shareholders.

And Ling Tao, as the CEO, held 51 percent of the company’s shares. But now, Ling Tao had taken out 25 percent of his shares and given them to Ling Tianya.

This meant that after Ling Tao, Ling Tianya would be the second biggest shareholder of the corporation and held certain power in the decision-making process.

“This… Dad… Ling Tianya felt that the documents were oddly hot in her hands. She had never wanted to take a single step into the Ling corporation, and she wanted even less to do with the shares.

But, when Ling Tao really brought these to her, she was still surprised. Because this meant that Ling Tao was passing the Ling corporation into her hands.

Because as long as she wanted to, she could sway the other shareholders to follow her with the 25 percent of the shares in her hands to kick Ling Tao off his seat.

“Take it, Yaya. The Ling corporation will be in your hands from now on. I know that it wasn’t in your plans, but while I am still well, let me take care of it for you. When I can’t continue on, the entire corporation shall be yours.”

Ling Tao put his hand out, stroking Ling Tianya’s hair. “My Yaya’s about to get married. I’ve failed you, I’m sorry…”

Maybe it was due to the fact that he had drank some alcohol during dinner, maybe it was due to the fact that the past had come rushing to the forefront of his thoughts, or maybe it was due to the guilt he felt towards Ling Tianya and Ling Tianxin. Ling Tao actually cried. He cried with his entire self, his entire heart. He cried as he had back when he was still a baby.
