In the past, Qin Shi had sincerely loved the old man, which was why she used some underhanded methods to sleep with the old man and because of her determined belly, she was quickly pregnant.
If it wasn’t for Madame Ruan in the middle, dominating the position and refusing to divorce the old man, the one in the high seat today would be her and the head of the Ruan family would be her son!
Qin Shi had always believed herself to be stronger than Madame Ruan. She was able to birth two sons. If it hadn’t been for Madame Ruan playing tricks and forbidding the old man from her room, perhaps now, she would have even more children.
The Ruan family usually held the birth of an heir in very high regards. Madame Ruan, after half a day’s effort, was finally able to birth Ruan Qishan. Afterward, despite dominating the old man every day, she was still unable to give birth to more children.
Her daughter-in-law, Wang Yazhi, was even more useless. After giving birth to Ruan Zeyan, she had almost passed away due to the difficult birth. Afterward, she was infertile.
Now…
Qin Shi glared at Ling Tianya with unkind eyes. Such a stupid woman. Besides being gorgeous, there wasn’t anything else good about her. Looking at her extremely thin figure, she reckoned she was fated to birth only daughters.
Thinking this, Qin Shi’s heart became much more comfortable. She wasn’t just fighting for the present, but for the future!
Ruan Qishan didn’t want to see Qin Shi. The one reason he continued staying there was that he didn’t want his own mother to be mistreated. However, after hearing Ling Tianya’s words, he was no longer worried. With such a daughter-in-law present, who knew who would be the one mistreated.
Thinking this, Ruan Qishan laughingly called Ruan Zeyan to the study to discuss company matters.
Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu followed in Ruan Qishan’s shadow, their eyes gloomy.
Madame Ruan joyfully pulled Ling Tianya to sit down by her side, eyes full of love. She glanced at the child in Qin Shi’s embrace, her words full of anticipation, “Ling girl, you have got to put in more effort and quickly provide the Ruan family with a legitimate grandson!”
Hearing these words, Qin Shi’s cheeks twitched.
What is that supposed to mean? Was her grandson not legitimate? Was his family name not Ruan?
Ruan Guosheng’s face was also rigid, his eyes maliciously gazing at Ling Tianya’s stomach.
The three grandfathers who had been silent for a long time finally spoke.
The Fourth Grandfather said, “Right, providing an heir for the Ruan family should be the priority.”
The Fifth Grandfather said, “Right? Zeyan is no longer young, he should have a kid.”
Seventh Grandfather nodded. “Right!”
The unsettled Qin Shi abruptly sneered. “Aiya! You guys, giving birth isn’t like steaming a bun. It won’t appear just because you want it to. It all depends on fate. For some people, they are fated to be without children. There is no way to force it. For some people, they just have a slight chance of having kids, and even if they were to get pregnant, they wouldn’t be able to keep it! Speaking of which, back then, when I gave birth to Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu, I was very successful.”
After Qin Shi’s words were out, the entire scene once again froze.
Everyone was aware of the hidden meaning. She was criticizing Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi. The two of them were only able to give birth after great difficulty and were infertile afterwards.
Qin Shi looked at Ling Tianya disapprovingly. “Looking at this child, she seems to be too thin. In the future, should conceiving become a problem, we could allow you to adopt one from the Guosheng’s family. After all, they are all children of the Ruan family and all are the old man’s grandchildren. If the old man was still alive, he would be so happy to have these kids!”
Laced within Qin Shi’s every word were the words “old man and children,” every word jabbing at Madame Ruan’s innermost feelings.
Madame Ruan’s hand grasped Ling Tianya’s hand harder, her eyes full of hatred.
“Uncle Zhong!” Ling Tianya’s eyes were cold. “Kick this old woman out!”
