A bowl of noodles, the memories of her happy childhood. After a good cry, Ling Tianya’s heart felt so much lighter. She refilled her bowl up again and again with noodles, her appetite more pronounced than ever.
After the meal, Big Guy and Small Guy mentioned that they would like to stay in the car instead. Knowing that they don’t feel at ease here, she didn’t insist on having them stay.
In the car, Big Guy was still savouring the tastes of Yu Chenshi’s noodles. “Miss Ling’s grandmother sure makes a great bowl of noodles.”
“Tch!” Small Guy scoffed, “You sure are easy to bribe, just need a bowl of noodles to get you on their side.”
Big Guy’s face fell instantly at that. “Small Guy, let me remind you. Boss trusts us and allows us to follow Miss Ling here. Our job is to listen and obey Miss Ling’s every order and to protect her safety. Stop showing me that reluctant b*tch face of yours and do what you’re told. Don’t come crying tears of regret if something happens!”
Big Guy was definitely worried about his own brother’s attitude, so he kept alert at all times, worried that something would happen the moment his attention faded.
“What can a woman like her get into? Didn’t she spend money to hire people to tear down a house today? Hmph, spending our boss’ money and wasting his wealth!”
From last night up until oday, all of the money that Ling Tianya had spent was all of her own. But Small Guy didn’t know her well enough and thought that she couldn’t possibly earn much from writing a few books. Besides, his machismo led him to assume that all of the money that Ling Tianya had spent was Ruan Zeyan’s.
So, to Small Guy, Ling Tianya is just an idiot woman with no regard for the real value of money. Towards people like that, Small One had never held them in high regard.
Big Guy couldn’t do anything about it though. This attitude of his would definitely create trouble for him. It might even cost him his life someday.
In the mansion, Ling Tianya snuggled up into Yu Chenshi’s embrace after finishing up her noodles and had a long conversation with her. After so long of having not met, Yu Chenshi had so many questions for Ling Tianya.
“Tianya, what Huang Yuqing had said was all fake—so even her saying that you have a fiancé was fake?”
The moment the word fiancé was mentioned, Ling Tianya couldn’t help but think of Ruan Zeyan’s face. She smiled abashedly. “That’s true. He’s a great person, and he treats me well.”
“That’s goodthat he treats you well. What about his background?” Ling Tianya wanted to answer, but Yu Chenshi continued, “Actually, their family really doesn’t matter. I think it’s better for you to just find a normal family and just live life simply, far away from the scuffle of socialites. Granny’s old, I can’t take any more scares like that.”
Ever since Ling Tianya’s mother married Ling Tao, she had lived carefully. Faced with the harsh mother-in-law, Madame Ling, the arrogant sister-in-law, Ling Qi, and a foolishly filial Ling Tao, Yu Meizi’s life was understandably difficult.
Following her marriage into the Ling family was the onslaught of criticisms, like why she had given birth to two daughters, why she always said the wrong things and did things wrong.
During the time when Yu Meizi was married, you could count the number of times she had gone back home on one hand. Madame Ling didn’t like the fact that she was always going back, thinking that the Yu family was not as high class as the Ling family, and that she would just be bringing shame to them.
And because of Yu Meizi running off, the Yu family end up in shambles.
So Yu Chenshi didn’t wish for Ling Tianya to walk in her mother’s footsteps, marry into a socialite family, and end up with absolutely no freedom.
