Guan Jianlin’s aura was burning with anger, he thumped onto the sofa, his breath harsh and heavy.

Ling Qi immediately rushed to ask, “How was it? What did my mom and Ling Tao say? Did they teach Ling Tianya a lesson? Is the situation salvageable?”

“Lesson?” Guan Jianlin’s face turned green, and it was clear that his anger had reached a peak. “When I went there, he and your mom were both happily arranging Ruan Zeyan’s gifts!”

Hearing those three words, Ruan Zeyan, Guan Meiyi jumped, her eyes swiping over to look at Guan Jianlin.

“Ruan Zeyan gave the Ling family gifts? Why?”

“Why else? To make Ling Tao agree to him and Ling Tianya’s marriage!” Guan Jianlin’s teeth gritted in anger at the thought of Ling Tao’s smug look earlier.

“Why did this happen?” Ling Qi couldn’t believe it. “Then what about our Meiyi?!”

Tears started to fall from Guan Meiyi’s eyes, her knuckles turning white from the force of her grip. The person that had always been below her, the Ling Tianya that she had always looked down upon, was actually riding upon her head right then.

“Damn! That great brother and mother of yours are just money-grubbing snobs!” Guan Jianlin was so angry that he cursed. “They said that they would give Ling Tianya a good lesson, and then chase her out of the family. Look what happened now, the moment Ruan Zeyan came, both of them did a complete one-eighty! That Ling Tao especially, he used to bootlick me, and now he dares to lecture me!”

Guan Jianlin waited an entire day without Ling Tao’s response, and so he directly went to the Ling family, and he didn’t expect to see Ling Tao happily arranging his art and calligraphy!

He directly questioned how Ling Tao had solved the situation, and yet Ling Tao actually had the guts to tell him, “Let’s leave the kid’s life decisions to the kids, we shouldn’t interfere as parents.”

That was the first time Ling Tao had ever dared to talk to him with that tone, and he was that close to blowing Guan Jianlin’s lid off.

Lastly, Ling Tao actually used being busy as an excuse, and ignored Guan Jianlin. It wasn’t until Guan Jianlin actually went to find Miss Zhang to understand what happened, that he knew Ruan Zeyan came, along with the gifts that populated the entire living room.

The moment Ling Qi heard that, her face contorted into one that was more disgusted than a person that had tasted feces. “Then what about my mom? My mom hates Ling Tianya the most, and loves Meiyi, she definitely tried to stop it from happening.”

“You still dare to bring her up?” Thinking of the old lady, Guan Jianlin’s anger bubbled again. “When I got there, she was hugging all those antiques in glee! I asked her to do something about it, and did you know what she said?” Guan Jianlin paused, wiping off the sweat that beaded from his agitation. “She actually said that she’s old, she doesn’t want to deal with this situation! ‘Meiyi and Ruan Zeyan are not fated, let’s just leave it at that.’ She even said, that since the Guan family can’t be related to the Ruan family, isn’t there still the Ling family to do so? She said since the Guans and Lings are a family, there’s no difference!”

Hearing that, Ling Qi was just seconds away from fainting in anger, she could never imagine that her own mom would vouch for the other team too.

“No! I have to go find Ling Tianya! I’ll go tear that bitch apart!” Ling Qi sprung up from the sofa, but she got held back by Guan Jianlin.

“Where are you going to go find them? Ling Tianya has already left with Ruan Zeyan to their own two-person world!”

Guan Meiyi finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, lying down on the sofa as she wailed her heart out.

She lost! She actually lost to Ling Tianya!

Seeing Guan Meiyi cry, Ling Qi cried with her. She had worked so hard to raise her daughter according to Wang Yazhi’s wishes, yet her hard work had all gone to waste.

The huge living room was filled with the mother and daughter’s crying, which just made Guan Jianlin’s head hurt even more.

“Enough! Stop wailing! I’ll go find Ruan Qishan tomorrow!”

Right then, the maids hesitantly walked in. “Sir, Miss Yuqing from the Ling family is here.”

Hearing the “Ling family”, Guan Jianlin’s eyes darkened. “What else do I have to say with the Ling family?! Chase her off!”

“Uncle, why are you so angry?” Ling Yuqing sauntered in with a chuckle. “Oh my, why are Auntie and sister Meiyi crying so hard?”

Seeing Ling Yuqing, Guan Meiyi scrambled to swipe off her tears, glaring at her coldly. Guan Meiyi hadn’t forgotten how Ling Yuqing’s face had looked when she had misunderstood and thought that Ruan Zeyan wanted to marry her. She was just a two-faced bitch, yet she was pretending that nothing of the sort happened.

Ling Yuqing also knew that she had a bad history with Guan Meiyi because of that, and their relationship was unable to go back to how it was in the past because of that. She decided to not be cryptic, and directly got to the main point.

“I know why Auntie and sister Meiyi are crying, and why you are so angry, Uncle. Isn’t it all just because of that bitch, Ling Tianya?”

“What do you want to say?” Guan Meiyi icily asked.

“Relax, Meiyi, I have a common enemy with you. My mom and I have lost our standing in the Ling family because of Ling Tianya. Therefore, for your future and my status in the Ling family, we must send Ling Tianya into hell, and make sure she can never claw her way back up!”
