Chapter 225: There Must Be Problems

At dinner, Qu Wan seemed a bit out of it. At the dining table, Madam Ling and Ling Tao both were eating quietly, while Qu Wan just stayed there, a pair of chopsticks poking back and forth in the rice bowl and nothing getting picked up for a long time. The chopsticks touched the rim, making a high-pitched sound.

Madam Ling finally got impatient. “Eat your meal, otherwise leave the table! What are you doing making all that noise?”

Ever since the night Ling Tianya came for dinner, Madam Ling’s mood had not improved. Everyone looked annoying to her, and she would yell at them whenever she was angry.

Qu Wu looked up at Madam Ling, as if she just woke up from a dream.

“What a wreck!” Madam Ling glared at Qu Wan displeased, before she threw the chopsticks on the table and left.

“What’s going on with you?” Ling Tao asked quietly after Madam Ling left. Last time when Ling Tianya mentioned A City, although Qu Wan claimed that it was unintentional, the kitchen servant she named did resign the very next day. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Hearing Ling Tao’s tone, Qu Wan knew that he was still skeptical about her. Secretly clenching her teeth, Qu Wan looked up with a bright smile. “Nothing, I was just thinking about something.”

“What thing is it that makes you think so hard?”

It might be that Qu Wan was nervous to begin with that she felt that every word out of Ling Tao’s mouth was inspecting her.

After pondering it carefully, she smiled and said, “I was thinking, the last time Yaya came to the house, did she not like the dishes we prepared? I don’t think she was eating much.”

Hearing Qu Wan talking about his daughter, Ling Tao’s eyes suddenly became softer. “But those were Yaya’s favorites.”

Qu Wan’s face was full of patience. “When was the last time you and Yaya had a good meal together? A person’s taste changes. Maybe her taste has changed a long time ago and we don’t know.”

Ling Tao found the argument reasonable, but his eyes dimmed as he put down the bowl and chopsticks with a heavy sigh. “I didn’t do a good job as a father. I don’t even know what my daughter likes.”

The change on Ling Tao’s face made Qu Wan nervous. She was just making something up to deal with Ling Tao’s question, but it caused him to have such a bad reaction. If he associated it with Yuqing and herself, it would be a loss.

On that thought, Qu Wan quickly smiled. “You are her biological father, and Yaya won’t care about that.”

Suddenly, Qu Wan’s cell phone rang loudly.

Ling Tao raised his brow. “Who is looking for you at this hour?”

Qu Wan looked at the number on the phone, and her brows suddenly tightened. She covered her inner eagerness with a smile. “It’s Mrs. Gao. I don’t know what she is calling me for.”

Mrs. Gao was a friend in Qu Wan’s circle and Ling Tao knew her, so he didn’t say anything.

Seeing that Ling Tao didn’t care, Qu Wan quickly took the phone and left the dining room.

In such a giant dining room, Ling Tao found himself suddenly alone. He picked up a mouthful of food and was about to put it in his mouth, but finally lamented and put it down.

The meal seemed very meaningless. Other people all had children around, sharing the family joy. Why was it so difficult for him?

Qu Wan took her cell phone to a secret corner of the yard. “Hello? Have you found anything out? Has that bitch really found Ling Tianxin?”

The person on the other end was silent for a long while, then said with a heavy heart. “In the past two days, I have tried many different ways, but I still can’t get in touch with the people in Vietnam. I think they must have had some problems.”
