Zhang Zihao was watching television in the living room. He glanced in the direction of Ling Tianxin’s room from time to time. His father had been in there for quite a while. Why hadn’t he come out yet?
Just then, there was a loud noise in Ling Tianxin’s room. Something was broken.
“Ah!”A sharp scream followed.
Zhang Zihao was startled, and he stood up from the couch. That scream had come from his father, Zhang Chao. What on earth had happened? Why had his father screamed?
Zhang Zihao walked to Ling Tianxin’s room, and he found that he couldn’t open the door. “What’s happening? Open the door!” shouted Zhang Zihao.
However, no matter how Zhang Zihao shouted at the door, no one opened it. Zhang Chao continued to scream.
Zhang Zihao panicked and was about to break the door down when it suddenly opened.
Ling Tianxin stood at the door, covered with blood. She stared at Zhang Zihao with red eyes.
Zhang Zihao collapsed to the ground, terrified. Ling Tianxin had a long piece of broken glass in her hand. The carpet was covered with blood as well. Zhang Zihao traced the blood to Zhang Chao, who was naked. Pieces of glass were embedded into his barely intact body.
“Dad!” Zhang Zihao screamed.
Zhang Zihao wanted to check on Zhang Chao. However, just then, Ling Tianxin raised the long piece of glass in her hand and thrust it into Zhang Zihao’s shoulder with no hesitation but a great deal of precision.
Zhang Zihao cried out loud in pain instantly. He pushed Ling Tianxin away and tried to escape, but Ling Tianxin stabbed him again in the back.
“All men are disgusting! I will kill you all! Kill you all!” Ling Tianxin screamed. She was like a devil from hell at this moment, thirsty for blood and terror.
…..
In the conference room of the Ling Corporation, silence filled the room when Ling Tianya stopped crying.
Madame Ling sat frozen. She was still trying to process what Yu Meizi had just said. She had mixed feelings that were beyond words. She turned her head to Ling Tianya in shock.
She had never noticed it before but as she looked closely now, she realized that Ling Tianya did not look like Ling Tao at all.
But why? Why had she only now discovered that Ling Tianya was not a child of the Ling family? If Ling Tianya was not part of their family, what should the Ling family do? What about her son? What about her?
“Yu Meizi, you are a b*tch! What did Ling Wei offer you to make you say such things against your conscience? How could you abandon your own daughter?” Madame Ling was fighting her last battle. If Yu Meizi was lying or if she hesitated even slightly, she would be certain that Ling Tianya was her granddaughter after all.
However, Yu Meizi answered with determination. “Ling Tianya is no child of the Ling family. Why don’t you have a paternity test just like you did for Ling Tianxin? Do the same test on her!”
Yu Meizi’s words poured onto Madame Ling like a bucket of icy water. When Yu Meizi had cheated, Ling Tianxin was less than two years old. Therefore, Qu Wan had suggested that Madame Ling ask for a paternity test for Ling Tianxin. At that time, Ling Tianya was already eight years old and Yu Meizi and Ling Tao had her when they were still newly-weds. Therefore, no one suspected that Ling Tianya was not a child of the Ling family.
The hard truth was that Ling Tianxin Ling Tao’s child, but Ling Tianya was not. Not only was she not a child of the Ling family, but she was not even Yu Meizi’s child.
Now, Ling Tianxin had lost her sanity, and the other child had not even been born yet, Ling Tao was in the hospital, and Ling Tianya was not part of the Ling family… All these thoughts and feelings came to Madame Ling. Anger rushed to her. Madame Ling rolled her eyes and passed out.
