Madame Ling acknowledged the chauffeur and got into Qin Shi’s car. This car was better than hers, and the interior of the car was much more luxurious.
Seeing the graceful and luxurious Qin Shi beside her, Madame Ling asked, “You were just saying that you are also going to the Ruan residence. What is your relationship to the Ruan Family?”
Qin Shi paused. “I can be considered one of Ruan Zeyan’s elders. Based on my position in the family hierarchy, Ruan Zeyan should be addressing me as grandmother.”
Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother. That meant that she was the same generation as Madame Ruan. Madame Ling suddenly laughed. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Qin.” Qin Shi wasn’t being arrogant, and she looked at Madame Ling. “I was quite shocked to hear the rumor about Tianya being infertile. Now, hearing that she is pregnant, I am extremely confused, so I came to see what is going on.”
Madame Ling nodded. “I am also confused. One second she is infertile and the next, she is pregnant. I also came to check up on them.”
Qin Shi sized up Madame Ling and couldn’t see a single inking of concern for Ling Tianya. While she was speaking, her eyes carried a hint of boredom. In the past, Qin Shi was able to intelligently and tenaciously, under Madame Ruan’s scrutiny, crawl into the old man Ruan’s bed and successfully bear two children. That definitely took some skills and she was very good at discerning someone’s thoughts based on their body language.
Seeing that Madame Ling did not have a strong bond with Ling Tianya, Qin Shi probed further. “This Tianya, a matter as big as a pregnancy, how could she not tell her own grandmother? She has made you worry and causes you to personally come.”
Hearing Qin Shi’s words, Madame Ling snorted. “This child has always done things her own way without consulting anyone.”
Qin Shi nodded in understanding. “I think that Tianya is a pretty good child. She is on great terms with Zeyan’s grandmother and is extremely obedient.”
Madame Ruan’s gaze became heavy and her words hesitant. “As I’ve already said, this child has been doing things her own way without consulting anyone ever since she was young. She knows who she should suck up to and who she shouldn’t suck up to. She treats someone else’s grandmother better than she treats me, her biological grandmother!”
“No way!” Qin Shi pretended to be shocked. “I can’t believe your words. I have met Tianya. In the Ruan Family, she is polite to everyone.”
On the surface, Qin Shi seemed to be speaking well of Ling Tianya but to Madame Ling, the words were piercing. Polite to everyone in the Ruan residence, yet cold and distant to her in the Ling residence! In the Ruan residence, she was as obedient to Madame Ruan as a biological granddaughter. In the Ling residence, she didn’t pay her real grandmother any attention and was constantly going against her!
Qin Shi, her eyes flickering with darkness, watched Madame Ling, whose face was becoming increasingly more furious.
“Heng! This girl is smart. She married into the Ruan Family, fawns on the family members and doesn’t pay any attention to her own family. Just take into consideration this recent situation. Even with something as large as a pregnancy, she didn’t even notify anyone in the family. Her father thought that she has been discarded by the Ruan Family and wanted to bring her back home!” Just the thought of this made Madame Ling angry. “Even worse, this girl has urged her father to send me back to the countryside. I came today to ask her exactly what she wants!”
“What? There’s even something like that?”
“Exactly! This girl has gone against her father and me ever since she was young. I originally thought that it would get better when she grew up but she has stopped caring about the family even more.” As Madame Ling spoke, she became increasingly angry, and she recounted everything about Ling Tianya that had ever aggrieved her. Once her pandora’s box was opened, words kept pouring out until they reached the front door of the Ruan residence.
