Chapter 678: An Awkward Situation
The atmosphere was awkward. Only Xiao Hong could remedy the situation. She said to Madame Ling, “Tianxin just got home. Don’t be so quick to teach her the rules. In a couple of days, I will teach her. You just have to give us pointers from the side.”
Madame Ling’s face relaxed, and she sat down at the table to begin her meal. No matter how much Madame Ling looked at Ling Tianxin, she disliked her. She was like a thorn in her side.
After the meal, Ling Tianya stayed in the room with Ling Tianxin for a little while. Ling Tao had purposely prepared a warm room for Ling Tianxin to welcome her home. Aware that she was still seven or eight years old at heart, the room was decorated in a princessy style and was all pink. Ling Tianxin loved her room and dragged Ling Tianya to sleep with her there.
Ling Tianya stayed with Ling Tianxin upstairs. In the living room downstairs, Ling Tao and Xiao Hong talked with Ruan Zeyan.
“The issue of Tianxin has inconvenienced you. I’ve never had the chance to properly thank you. Thank you for saving Tianxin from that place. Thank you for arranging for the best doctors to treat her.” Ling Tao sincerely thanked Ruan Zeyan.
“Tianxin is Tianya’s younger sister. All of those things are my responsibility,” Ruan Zeyan answered warmly.
“Actually, the thing I want to thank you for the most is how well you treat Yaya. She has suffered ever since she was young. It is because she has a father as useless as I who not only did not understand her but also kicked her out of her home. Meeting you was Yaya’s fortune.”
Ling Tao’s words were moving. Xiao Hong stood by his side lightly squeezing his hand. After experiencing those things, he had become very sensitive.
Ruan Zeyan could obviously also sense the chnage in his father-in-law. “Meeting Tianya is my fortune.”
Madame Ling was alone in her room without anyone bothering about her. She was getting incredibly impatient. The more she thought about Ling Tianxin’s demented look, the angrier she got. Madame Ling was so angry that her teeth began tickling.
Madame Ling, who was lying on the bed, got up angrily. “I must find a way to kick her out!”
Only when Ling Tianxin fell asleep did Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan leave the Ling house.
……
At the weekend, because Zhang Zihao wanted to eat buns, Yu Meizi woke up early in the morning to head to the market to pick up the ingredients. Because she had to make buns for Zhang Zihao, Yu Meizi did not have any time to rest.
While she made the buns, she also had to wash the clothes in the washing machine. She was incredibly busy.
Zhang Chao staggered in drunkenly and, seeing Yu Meizi making buns, shouted, “Hurry up! I’m hungry!”
Yu Meizi shot Zhang Chao a look of hatred. “Being drunk in broad daylight. You won’t die of hunger!”
Zhang Chao poured the alcohol in his hand on the ground, “Stop trying to find things to comlain about! I’ve noticed that recently you’ve been looking down on me! What’s going on? Seeing your old mother living a peaceful life in the big city and not taking you along makes you feel bad, doesn’t it? I’m telling you, the day you eloped with me, you said goodbye to life in the big city. This is the way I am! Even if you don’t want to endure it, you have to!”
Zhang Chao sat on the sofa like a hoodlum and placed his injured leg on the coffee table. “Plus, whose fault is it that my leg is injured? Was it not your daughter? If she hadn’t gone and exposed my background, those cowards wouldn’t have dared to jumped me!”
In the beginning, Yu Meizi had believed Zhang Zihao and thought that it really had been Ling Tianya who arranged for people to beat up Zhang Chao and Zhang Zihao. In the end, after an investigation, she realized that this matter was entirely unrelated to Ling Tianya and was the independent action of the spa employees.
