Tianxin had the personality of a child. As long as someone was nice to her, she would let her guard down completely. Because she believed Xiao Hong’s words and knew that Yu Meizi was her mother, Ling Tianxin quickly accepted Yu Meizi.
Yu Meizi credited the fact that Ling Tianxin was able to accept her so quickly to family ties and not to Xiao Hong.
Lunchtime arrived and Xiao Hong, seeing that Yu Meizi was not about to leave, invited her for lunch.
At the table, Yu Meizi sat next to Ling Tianxin and, full of motherly love, helped her with her food. “Tianxin, do you like Mommy?”
Ling Tianxin smiled naively.”Yes.”
“Do you want Mommy to always stay with you?”
‘En, yes!” Tianxin nodded without thinking.
Yu Meizi looked at Xiao Hong who was sitting across from her.
Xiao Hong obviously paused what she was doing for a moment as she held the bowl, but she didn’t say anything. She lowered her head and continued eating.
Tianxin continued, “I also want Daddy, Elder Sister, and Aunty Xiao Hong to be with me!”
Hearing Tianxin’s words, Xiao Hong raised her head and smiled at Tianxin. “Good girl, Tianxin.”
Tianxin’s words made Yu Meizi’s face drop, and she glared at Xiao Hong. Just as expected, she was causing trouble!
Xiao Hong could feel the enmity emitting from Yu Meizi. She felt like Yu Meizi was being unreasonably hostile. She had been divorced from Ling Tao for so many years, and he had a new family. What was the point of her actions now?
Yu Meizi continued to pick up food for Ling Tianxin, and her eyes drifted to Xiao Hong’s white blouse. She laughed. “Ling Tao doesn’t like the color white. He likes dark colors.”
Xiao Hong looked at Yu Meizi’s grey dress and didn’t say anything.
Seeing that Xiao Hong wasn’t saying anything, Yu Meizi continued, “Ling Tao also doesn’t like food that is sweet and sour; he likes spicy food.”
Xiao Hong took a bite of her food and said lightly, “The eldest miss likes food that is sweet and sour. Brother Ling’s digestive system hasn’t been working quite as well over the past couple of years and now he rarely eats spicy food.”
Xiao Hong’s indifferent words rendered Yu Meizi speechless.
Twenty years ago, when Yu Meizi left the Ling residence, Ling Tao indeed liked spicy food and dark colors. However, after such a long time, everything had changed. Yu Meizi really didn’t know that Ling Tianya liked to eat things that are sweet and sour. Yu Chenshi’s noodles were her favorite food.
Yu Meizi pressed her lips together, and her dry and thin hands tightly grasped the chopsticks in her hands.
This woman was mocking her. Time had moved forward, she no longer belonged here. Did she not even know what Ling Tao and Ling Tianya liked to eat anymore?
Just then, Ms. Zhang came to tell them that Ling Tianya had arrived.
When Ling Tianxin heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks and rushed to the door. Xiao Hong also smiled and put her chopsticks and bowl down. She went to personally welcome her.
Yu Meizi remained at the table, startled. She hadn’t thought Ling Tianya would come today. She felt a little frantic, not knowing how to face her daughter.
Ling Tianya walked in, and Ling Tianxin hopped over to her, her lips still oily. She grabbed Ling Tianya’s hand. “Elder sister, why did you take so long to come?”
Xiao Hong walked over and cheerfully said, “Tianxin has been waiting for you to come ever since she opened her eyes.
Ling Tianya tenderly stroked Ling Tianxin’s face and said to Xiao Hong, “I encountered some traffic on the way here.”
Ling Tianxin pulled Ling Tianya toward the dining room. “Elder sister, hurry up. Mommy is here, our mommy!”
“Mommy?” Ling Tianya looked at Xiao Hong in confusion.
Xiao Hong nodded. “Ms. Yu is here.”
Hearing this, Ling Tianya’s face became serious.
Yu Meizi’s wailing could be heard from the dining room.
