Ling Tianya’s mother’s surname was Yu, which was relatively rare. Her full name was Yu Meizi. In B City, the Yu Family was considered upper middle-class. There were not too many family members in the Yu Family. Ling Tianya’s grandfather, Yu Shaokang, had passed away before she was born. The only people remaining were Ling Tianya’s grandmother Yu Chenshi and Ling Tianya’s aunt, Yu Qingzi. Her aunt was never married, but had a daughter born out of the wedlock who was three years younger than Ling Tianya. The identity of the child’s father was unknown, so the aunt was always reluctant to mention the man. Therefore, her daughter took her last name Yu, named Yu Luoluo.
When the Lings and Yu’s fell out, Ling Tianya was only 10 years old. It had been more than ten years, and there had been a lot of changes since then.
B City was a third-tier city, a place very suitable for retirement. Ling Tianya’s memory of her grandmother’s house involved getting up at 8am in the morning when her grandmother put out breakfast that she had already heated once before on the table. After breakfast, she would play with Yu Luoluo and some neighbor’s children outside until lunch time. Her grandma was very good at making noodles. In the beginning, Ling Tianya loved them very much, but after eating them a few times, she got tired of them.
after so many years, she would love nothing more than a bowl of grandma’s noodles.
After lunch, it was nap time. Grandma was a retired teacher, so after a nap she would give Ling Tianya and Yu Luoluo lessons.
Later in the afternoon, the neighbors would gather in the shade to chat. They would talk until the dusk before they went home to prepare dinner.
The days at grandma’s house were carefree. Ling Tianya was a girl, so Madam Ling had always been cold to her. Whenever she made a mistake, there would be yelling and beating. As a result, Ling Tianya always loved to go to grandma’s house.
However, her grandma lived in a different city, so Ling Tianya did not have a lot of opportunities to go.
When they arrived in B City, it was already dark. Ling Tianya took a whiff of the familiar yet strange air and had complicated feelings. Over the past decade or so, the city had undergone tremendous changes, making it impossible for her to find her grandma’s house simply by memory.
Ling Tianya, Zhang Ke, and the two body guards, checked into a five-star hotel in the city center. Ling Tianya decided to rest in the hotel for one night before setting off in the morning to find her grandma’s house.
They had something to eat in the cafeteria on the first floor of the hotel and were taking the elevator back to their rooms. When the elevator door opened, and a pretty woman ran out of the elevator, almost bumping into Ling Tianya.
The woman paused for a second and said hastily, “Excuse me!”
After that, she rushed toward the hotel entrance. Then, the door of the elevator opened again, and several men came out.
The last man coming out had blood on his face. He groaned loudly, “Go get that little b**ch! God damn it, she hit me!”
The man with blood on his face glanced at Ling Tianya and was stunned by her good looks. His eyes sparkled, but when he saw the two men with unfriendly faces standing next to Ling Tianya, he decided to walk away disgruntledly.
Ling Tianya did not want to get into other people’s business, but just when she stepped into the elevator with one foot, she heard the man shouting from afar, “Mother f**ker! Yu Luoluo, you are asking for it. I am going to waste you today!”
Hearing that name coming out the man’s mouth, Ling Tianya’s body shook fiercely and her eyes scrambled to follow the men. In a low voice, she ordered her body guards, “Go check it out.”
