Chapter 731: Nothing Is as Important as your Wife

Looking at Madame Ling, Xiao Hong felt helpless.

Ling Tianya only stayed at the hospital for a short while before leaving. She was going to make her way to the rehabilitation center to visit Ling Tianxin.

When she came home from the center, it was already dark outside. The car drove from the suburbs into the city, away from the quiet countryside and into the bustling city lights.

Ling Tianya was looking out of the car window in a daze. She was quiet and Ruan Zeyan was holding her hand as they sat in silence.

Ruan Zeyan’s phone rang and he picked up. He maintained a calm expression and he didn’t say a word as he listened to the update. After a long while, he finally said, “Ok, send someone to follow her.”

When he hung up, Ruan Zeyan turned and looked Ling Tianya in the eye. “Did Yu Meizi leave with Zhang Zihao?” Ling Tianya asked.

Ruan Zeyan was shocked. Had she heard the contents of the conversation over the phone?

“Yes, she left quietly with Zhang Zihao. He was not seriously injured. Zhang Chao is still in the hospital.” Ruan Zeyan waited to see Ling Tianya’s response. He paused before continuing, “I sent someone to follow her. Don’t worry. I won’t let her or Zhang Zihao come anywhere near you ever again.”

Ling Tianya nodded her head but she had a bitter smile on her face. “I’m not surprised. It sounds like something she would do, and it wouldn’t be the first time anyway.”

The first time, she left Ling Tao and her children and ran away with Zhang Chao. Now, she had left Zhang Chao who was dying and had run away with Zhang Zihao.

Zhang Chao had been seriously injured. He was clinging onto life and his hospital fees would cost a bomb. Yu Meizi only had a couple of grand left on her and she knew that it was the end of everything. There was no way she would receive money from Ling Tianya again and she would rather not spend all her money on Zhang Chao. She was going to save the money and run away with Zhang Zihao so they could live a simple life together.

Back at home, Ling Tianya quickly showered and went to bed. She had barely eaten anything.

Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi were worried about her. Even Ruan Qishan could tell that something was wrong with Ling Tianya. They didn’t dare to ask her in person and they waited for an opportunity to ask Ruan Zeyan.

Ruan Zeyan stayed with Ling Tianya until she fell asleep. He tucked her in before leaving the bedroom. Madame Ruan had texted him earlier to tell him to make his way down to the living room no matter how late it was.

Ruan Zeyan went to the living room. All the elders were still awake, waiting for him.

“What happened to the Ling girl?” Madame Ruan asked anxiously.

“Did something happen to the Ling Group?” Ruan Qishan asked. “I thought my daughter-in-law had a solution in mind already? The Ling Group isn’t a big problem anyway. If she can’t settle it, you can just take care of it for her.”

“Tianya already took care of the company business.” Ruan Zeyan sounded tired and weary.

“It’s taken care of? What’s the matter then? Why does she look so down and sad? She didn’t eat well at dinner either.” Wang Yazhi was full of concern. “Yaya’s body can’t handle this now. She needs to eat properly.”

“What happened exactly?” Madame Ruan couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Ruan Zeyan explained what happened with Yu Meizi to the elders. When he was done, the three elders were shocked.

“I knew it! What kind of mother is she? She made Yaya so angry that she had stomach pains, and she keeps asking her for money as well. All she knows is how to make use of Yaya. She isn’t a good mother at all!” Wang Yazhi said angrily, full of hatred.

“So what if she isn’t her biological mother? Was she ever any good to Ling Tianxin? She ran away after making use of her. All she cares about is her son that she brought with her! She won’t have a good ending to her story!” Madame Ruan was furious about what Yu Meizi had done.

Ruan Qishan sighed helplessly. “You should spend some time with her over the next few days. Put your work to one side for the moment. No matter how urgent work is, nothing is as important as your wife.”
