Ling Yuqing raised her head, and all she saw was Ling Tao’s piercing gaze on her. It was an expression that Ling Yuqing had never seen Ling Tao direct at her, it was an expression that struck absolute fear.
“Daddy, please, hear me out!”
Ling Yuqing rushed forward in him agitation, grabbing onto Ling Tao’s elbow, but she only ended up getting pushed away by Ling Tao. “Don’t call me Daddy!”
Ling Yuqing stumbled, and the waterworks started. “Daddy, please listen to me, I didn’t…”
Ling Tao didn’t wait for Ling Yuqing’s explanations, he merely turned and walked away with anger he’d never showed before. He could never imagine, even in his dreams, that Ling Yuqing would do something like that to Ling Tianya. He was still working hard to have the sisters finally get along with each other, sending Ling Yuqing to work by Ling Tianya’s side, and yet Ling Yuqing plotted something to incriminate Ling Tianya.
When Ruan Zeyan had brought Ling Tianya out of the hotel with a hand on her waist, Ling Tianya didn’t even spare him, her father, a glance. She definitely must hate him, if not for him voicing it, Ling Yuqing would never have had a chance to get into the crew. She would never have had the chance to do something as horrid as what she had done.
Thank goodness his Yaya was a smart lady and had prepared for it. If not…Ling Tao couldn’t imagine the extent of the consequences.
Throughout the press conference, even Ling Tao was almost convinced by Ling Yuqing’s elaborate mirage, even he had thought that his own daughter was as terrible as those articles suggested. If even him, as her biological father didn’t believe her, what about others?
With that, Ling Tao’s fear was reignited again. What if the whole world didn’t believe in Ling Tianya? Would he really have to force her away again?
For the first time, Ling Tao had started to have suspicion towards what had happened in the past. After the day’s incident, Ling Tao realized that many things may not have been what he had seen on the surface.
Ling Tao turned to leave, Ling Yuqing could only follow after him for several steps, eager to explain herself, but she was stopped by a furious Sheng Dan.
Sheng Dan gripped onto Ling Yuqing’s shoulder, screaming at the top of her lungs, fueled by her anger, “Why did you lie to me?”
Ling Yuqing had nothing on her mind besides how she could explain herself to Ling Tao, and she didn’t want to deal with Sheng Dan either, pushing her away in irritation. “Since when did I lie to you?”
Who knew that Sheng Dan would be pushed to desperation? Her grip on Ling Yuqing was deathly tight. “You clearly told me that those things about Ling Tianya were true, that’s why I wrote the article, that’s why I went against Ling Tianya with you today! Who knew, that all the ‘evidence’ was actually forged by you! Why did you lie to me?!”
Ling Yuqing looked at her coldly, “So what if I lied to you? You paparazzi never bother about the truth anyway. As long as there’s a piece of news, you all chase after it just like dogs. That’s why people call you the puppy squad!”
Ling Yuqing’s words had seemingly unlocked Sheng Dan’s grip on her emotions, she did expose a lot of private information about famous people these past years, but all the information was true. For all those years, Sheng Dan had never reported any single piece of fake news. Even though she was a paparazzi, she still had her morals.
That day, because of Ling Yuqing, she had betrayed her own morals and violated her baseline completely.
Sheng Dan’s palm had landed harshly on Ling Yuqing’s face.
Ling Yuqing was irritated from the start, and the fact she got slapped by Sheng Dan, made her anger reach a new peak. The two women were tangled together in a cat-fight, not a care given to their image.
Clearly, Ling Yuqing’s stamina and physique were not as good as Sheng Dan, who had been running out and about for news stories. Soon she was beaten black and blue by Sheng Dan.
Eventually, it was still the hotel’s staff that had to rush to their help and separate the two women, but the scene had long since been captured by others and quickly spread on the internet.
