Chapter 533: Fooling Him
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing Fourth Grandfather’s hypocritical attitude, Ling Tianya coldly laughed in her mind. They were obviously here to force her to do what they wanted, yet, they were pretending to care about her.
Fourth Grandfather hesitated. “Seeing that you are directly asking me, then I will tell you,” he said. Fourth Grandfather pointed at the now unrecognizable Runa Lijia. “We have selected Ruan Lijia for Zeyan.”
Although Ruan Lijia has been beaten so much that she was now unrecognizable, she tried very hard to enlarge her eyes. She muttered to herself as she looked provocatively at Ling Tianya.
A look of ridicule flickered in Ling Tianya’s eyes. It looked like Ruan Lijia hadn’t been beaten enough.
“Since it has come to this, then let’s just decide on it. Let’s find a good date to bring Lijia into the Ruan Family mansion to live,” Fourth Grandfather said leisurely, immediately deciding on the matter.
Ruan Qishan didn’t disagree. He simply nodded with his lips pursed.
Beside him, Fifth Grandfather and Seventh Grandfather chimed in, “Right, right. We must find an ecliptic lucky day. This way, it would be good for the heir too!”
Although Ruan Guofu was devastated at the sight of Ruan Lijia so badly beaten, in any case, the matter had been decided. Ling Tianya understood the situation. She knew that she was infertile and thus had been rejected, so why not help someone else. At the very least, she could protect her position as the young madame of the household.
However, Ruan Guofu’s eyes flashed with hatred. Things wouldn’t end like this. Lijia’s suffering wouldn’t be in vain. In the future, Ling Tianya would suffer as well.
Ling Tianya, seeing that people were all getting worked up over nothing, suddenly laughed. “Aren’t you a bit too anxious, Fourth Grandfather? I haven’t yet given my agreement, so why has the matter already been decided?”
Everyone paused in shock.
Fourth Grandfather pointed at Ling Tianya. “Weren’t you just asking about the person selected for Zeyan? How come you have changed your mind?”
Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows. “I was simply asking about the person selected. I never said that I agree. Besides…” Ling Tianya turned around to look at Ruan Lijia. “A person like her giving birth to a child for my husband will tarnish my his body.”
“You!” Ruan Lijia stood up, using the sofa for support as a torrent of indistinguishable words came out of her mouth.
“Ruan Lijia, haven’t you been beaten enough?” Ling Tianya looked at Ruan Lijia with cold eyes.
Ruan Lijia shivered and sat down in fear, her eyes staring unwaveringly at Big One, who was behind Ling Tianya. She was scared of being beaten again.
Ruan Guofu and Third Mrs. Ruan’s faces flushed the color of pig liver. Ling Tianya was so condescending, they were furious.
Fourth Grandfather raised his eyebrows, feeling as if he had just been played by Ling Tianya. Annoyed, he asked, “Then I will ask you again. Either you take a divorce or find another woman to bear an heir for you. If you don’t agree to Ruan Lijia being that person, are you agreeing to a divorce?”
If Ling Tianya agreed to divorce Ruan Zeyan, it would be even better.
Ruan Guofu, Third Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Lijias’ eyes all sparked as they anticipated Ling Tianya’s response.
In the end, Ling Tianya defiantly lifted her chin. “I won’t make such a decision!”
“What did you say?” Fourth Grandfather bellowed as he stood up from his chair, unable to restrain his anger.
“I said I won’t pick one. I don’t agree to either option. I will not divorce Ruan Zeyan nor will I allow you guys to find a woman to come in and bother me!”
Seeing Ling Tianya’s unyielding arrogance, Fourth Grandfather’s body gave out and he heavily sat in the chair. He was incredibly angry. He had said so much and it had all been a waste of time. Not only had she beaten up Ruan Lijia, she had also been fooling him.
