Chapter 206: Throw Away Her Mask of Pride

Ling Tianya scoffed internally, but she didn’t bite the bait. She instead waited for the old lady to open up on her own.

Madam Ling waited for a few moments but seeing that Ling Tianya didn’t open her mouth to comfort her, she could only throw away her mask of pride. “Tianya, you should know what happened to your aunt. Your uncle says that she has gone crazy and has sent her to the mental hospital. I don’t believe it; how can your perfectly sane aunt suddenly go insane?” Madam Ling got a little agitated mentioning that. “You should know too, that for all these years the Ling family has grown because we had the Guan family’s support. Without your aunt, we wouldn’t be this successful now!”

The air settled into an awkward silence.

Ling Tianya raised a brow. According to what Madam Ling said, all the Ling family was because of Ling Qi.

She finally understood where Ling Qi’s blind confidence in herself and arrogance came from now.

“Granny, you asked me to help Auntie, but how do you want me to help her?” Ling Tianya asked gently.

Madam Ling sighed to calm herself, explaining, “Go look for Ruan Zeyan, and beg the Ruan family. Ask them to put pressure on Guan Jianlin and get him to bring your Aunt out from the mental hospital! It has to be done now, no more delays can be tolerated!”

Madam Ling ordered Ling Tianya around as though it was her right. She looked exactly like Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi. Both of them ordered her around like she was their maid too; as if she was made to fulfill every single one of their desires.

Ling Tao looked a little troubled, when Ling Qi was first sent to the mental hospital by Guan Jianlin, Ling Tao had approached Guan Jianlin to try and negotiate the situation. Back then, Guan Jianlin had already told him everything.

“Mom, putting aside the fact that the Guan family already broke ties with us the moment Yaya and Mr. Ruan had got engaged, the things that Sis has done to Yaya were already unacceptable to me.” Ling Tao’s eyes were filled with compassion and pain when he looked at Ling Tianya. “Six years ago, because my sister’s acts of adultery were found out by Li Chenfeng, she decided to sacrifice my Yaya’s marriage and future. She wanted to marry Yaya to that monster, Li Chenfeng. Back then, I was an idiot too. I blindly trusted in Sis and thought that she genuinely wanted the best for Yaya and the Ling family. I actually agreed to the marriage in my moment of foolishness. Thank goodness that things have changed. If Yaya would have really been married to Li Chenfeng, what kind of torturous life would she have to lead then?”

Ling Tao’s words actually rendered Madam Ling speechless, and unable to rebut. Ling Qi really was in the wrong in that situation and she had done something immoral. Even then, Madam Ling was still biased towards Ling Qi. “Even if your sister sabotaged Tianya back then, she should have still married when she came of age. Tianya still has to marry someone someday! Besides, the marriage still didn’t go through, did it?”

Pain flashed through Ling Tao’s eyes seeing that Madam Ling was still speaking up for Ling Qi at that point in time. “Yes, thank goodness it did not go through. This time, in order to try to force Mr. Ruan to end his marriage with Yaya, Sis actually colluded with Li Chenfeng and his mother. She actually wanted to ruin Yaya’s innocence once and for all. It was such a huge mistake, is Sis still not in the wrong? Thank goodness my Yaya came out from in unscathed. Sis was the one that couldn’t control herself and slept with Li Chenfeng herself. She even got caught by brother-in-law.”

“That was our dirty laundry, how can you let Yaya beg the Ruan family to put pressure on brother-in-law? How would the Ruan family look at Yaya? How would they look at us?! It’s not the first time that sis betrayed brother-in-law, and this was the second time that he caught her. Besides, if sis is sick, she needs to be treated. Isn’t it better for her to be treated in the hospital than to being treated at home, and having the world ridicule her when she comes out?”

Ling Tao knew that Madam Ling had always been biased, but he was a filial child. Even when Madam Ling was biased towards Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi, he had never complained. That time it nearly harmed his own daughter!

He would never allow that to happen!
