At this time, Old Man Gu, who was in the banquet hall, was incredibly impatient. Ruan Zeyan was late, and the banquet wasn’t starting. However, even the young lady, the organizer of this banquet, had disappeared.
“Outrageous, it’s outrageous,” Old Man Gu muttered as he looked at Wang Manpeng who was beside him and complained, “Why is the Ruan family’s banquet so outrageous? Why did Ling Tianya go to the kitchen for so long? As the Ruan family’s young lady and the organizer of this banquet, why is she not greeting the guests but playing hide and seek! In the past, I’ve congratulated the Ruan family for having a daughter-in-law who’s intelligent and good at communication. Now, she doesn’t seem that great. She’s getting increasingly worse!”
Wang Manpeng silently listened to Old Man Gu complain about Ling Tianya. In reality, he wasn’t aware that the one that should really be complaining about was Wang Mandy.
When handling affairs with people, Wang Mandy certainly wasn’t as great as Ling Tianya. Wang Mandy was the type of person who would hide from her problems and avoid them. Also, she was normally very petty, not at all generous.
Simply put, everything that Wang Mandy did wrong or differently from Ling Tianya, she could blame on Ling Tianya’s kidnapping.
However, Wang Manpeng also knew that Wang Mandy could not remain like this forever. Sooner or later, she would be discovered as a fake. Therefore, when Wang Manpeng sent Wang Mandy to the mansion, he didn’t plan to allow her to stay for long.
However, hearing someone being rude to his younger sister made Wang Manpeng rather uncomfortable.
The birthday banquet kept getting delayed, and the guests began to get restless.
Although Ruan Qishan’s face was still as unmoved as the Tai Mountain, he was already beginning to grumble about Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya. That day wasn’t someone else’s day, but his own birthday. Originally, he hadn’t planned to have this birthday banquet, but his daughter-in-law had tried hard to persuade him, and therefore, he was willing to do it in the end.
In the end, his son didn’t return, his daughter-in-law went missing, and the scene was left to the elders.
Especially when he heard the Old Man Gu talking sh*t about it to his grandson, Ruan Qishan’s expression immediately soured.
“What’s up with Ling Tianya today? She wasn’t so ill-mannered in the past,” Ruan Qishan said to Madam Ruan.
Madam Ruan sighed deeply and didn’t say anything. However, Ling Tianya’s performance that day had disappointed her. It could be said that recently she had been feeling disappointed by all of Ling Tianya’s performances. It was solely because she was distressed over Ling Tianya’s kidnapping that she didn’t show it.
It seemed that after that day, she needed to have a conversation with the Ling girl.
Wang Yazhi anxiously waved at a servant. “Go search a bit more. See where the young lady is and tell her to come out.”
“Yes!”
Before, Wang Yazhi had tried calling Ruan Zeyan. However, she couldn’t reach him. It was clear that the call couldn’t go through, so why had Yaya lied and said that her calls went through?
Soon, the servant that Wang Yazhi sent to find Ling Tianya returned and pointed behind him. “The young lady is back, and she also brought the small master.”
Hearing that Ling Tianya had returned, Wang Yazhi’s forehead relaxed.
When Ling Tianya came back into the banquet hall carrying the tiny rice ball, she was still wearing the same purple evening dress. Her face still carried an appropriate smile, but her aura was entirely different from before.
