Ling Tianya looked embarrassed. Biting down on her lip, she said, “Dad, I just didn’t want to make it difficult for you.”
“Why would it be difficult for me?” Ling Tao was puzzled.
“I know that Grandma wants a grandson, that’s why she brought Liu Fen home. This kind of thing should have been your wishes. And, after what happened yesterday, I thought this whole thing was over and Grandma wouldn’t force you anymore. After all, Liu Fen is no longer at home.”
“Yes, that’s right!” Ling Tao nodded. He thought so too. Liu Fen was driven away last night, and things were done.
“But I heard from the servants today that Grandma did not let Liu Fen go but arranged for her to stay in a hotel. Grandma went to see her this morning.”
After Ling Tao heard that his mother had not sent Liu Fen away and had actually gone to see her again, his expression darkened.
“So, I was not sure what was going on. I didn’t know if Grandma sent the Liu family here and didn’t want to make her unhappy or put you in a difficult place. That’s why I…”
Knowing that his daughter was making all these efforts and lowering herself in order not to make things hard on him, Ling Tao felt extremely guilty and distressed.
At this time, Madame Ling and Liu Fen arrived in a hurry. Originally, she did not intend to bring Liu Fen, but Liu Fen heard that her parents had come and insisted on coming. If Madame Ling did not bring her, she might have returned on her own. So Madame Ling had no other option but to bring her.
Ling Tao’s face looked gloomy when he saw his mother was indeed with Liu Fen.
Ling Tao’s hawkish stare made Madame Ling uncomfortable. She knew Ling Tao wouldn’t be happy knowing that she had visited Liu Fen behind his back.
Madame Ling did not expect Liu Fen’s parents to come. Was this mess not big enough already?
With that thought, Madame Ling looked at the Liu family with great displeasure, and the next thing she saw almost tipped her over the top.
The mess on the coffee table had already annoyed Madame Ling, but what really enraged her was when she saw her favorite blue-and-white porcelain teacups on the coffee table and one of them was even broken!
“Who was it! Who brought these cups out to serve them!” Madame Ling was furious.
“It was me…” Ling Tianya answered in a weak voice.
“You!” Madame Ling roared at Ling Tianya. “Did you do that on purpose to piss me off?!”
When he heard Madame Ling scolding Ling Tianya, Ling Tao felt extreme pain. Yaya sacrificed her pride to serve these three bozos so he would not be put in a difficult spot and so her grandmother wouldn’t be mad.
But in the end, she was still blamed by his own mother!
“Mom, you are not allowed to talk to Yaya like this! From now on, no more!”
Madame Ling was stunned. She didn’t expect her son to strike like this. She opened her mouth but no words came out. Her elderly face turned ghostly white while her lips trembled.
“Dad! Mom!” Seeing her parents, Liu Fen immediately ran over. “Why are you here? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming!”
In fact, Liu Fen had a guilty conscience. She had been telling her parents how much power she had at the Ling residence, that all the servants were afraid of her, and that the old lady favored her. She had told them that she was basically the female master of the Ling family.
But the reality was she had made a giant fool of herself last night and was kicked out by Ling Tao.
“Dad, Mom, and Liu Zhuang, what are you really doing here?” Liu Fen asked urgently. She hoped that they hadn’t done anything bad, but looking at the mess on the coffee table, Liu Fen knew that it was already a disaster.
