At that moment, the enormous living room of the Ruan residence was extremely lively. For those informed, they knew everyone was there to see Ruan Zeyan’s new wife. For those who didn’t know, it looked like a cocktail party.

People were dressed in their most glamorous and exquisite clothing, as if it was a beauty pageant and everyone was trying to win. The conversations were also full of comparisons with each other and the fear to be deemed inferior was clear among the chatter.

Madame Ruan was sitting right in the middle of the sofa. As the head of the family, her status was undoubtedly the highest, making her the object of everyone’s flatteries.

The fourth, fifth, and seventh grandfathers sat beside Madame Ruan. The four of them were chatting, and the juniors around them would insert a few words from time to time. The atmosphere was rather harmonious.

Wang Yazhi always enjoyed a crowd. Right now, she was surrounded by other ladies from influential families. They all knew that Wang Yazhi loved children and looked forward to her grandchildren, so these people would say things Wang Yazhi wanted to hear, such as how to make Ling Tianya get pregnant fast.

Ruan Qishan was in the study, talking with the men in the family about some financial matters. Long story short, before Ling Tianya entered the door, everyone was just chatting and watching the clock.

Suddenly, the housekeeper, Mr. Zhong, came to report in excitement, “The young master and the young lady have returned.”

Upon hearing that, everyone immediately stopped talking, their eyes glancing toward the door. Those who were aware of their lack of status would take the initiative to stand up to greet Ruan Zeyan with Ling Tianya.

Madame Ruan laughed out loud after such a long wait. “Oh, my Ling girl is back!”

Madame Ruan’s intimate address of “Ling girl” made everyone’s wheel turn. It was obvious that the old lady really liked Ling Tianya.

At the door, Ruan Zeyan held Ling Tianya’s hand. “Are you nervous?”

“No.” Ling Tianya shook her head. She really was not nervous. “If I like the conversation, I’ll keep talking. If not, I’ll walk away. There’s no need to intentionally flatter anyone.”

These were the typical characteristics of how Ling Tianya interacted with other people.

Ruan Zeyan took Ling Tianya’s hand and kissed it lightly. “That’s right.”

Moreover, the Ling Tianya today did not have to flatter anyone anymore.

The servants all stood in the row at the door, respectfully welcoming Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya. Before they even reached the living room, Ling Tianya could already hear the lively voices inside. And after she entered the room, she was amazed how many people had showed up today.

When she noticed the ladies in the room and the way they all dressed up for a beauty contest, Ling Tianya closed her lips as she was speechless.

In comparison to those impeccably dressed women, Ling Tianya’s attire seemed much simpler, a simple white wool dress and a wool coat.

Many women were shocked by how simply Ling Tianya was dressed. They could all remember the old lady’s birthday party when Ling Tianya was dressed in an exquisite Chinese sheath dress, completely crushing all the women present.

So in order not to be crushed by Ling Tianya again, they were all dressed up from head to toe, only to find a simply-dressed Ling Tianya today.

Well, that made sense. She was coming home, what would she dress up for?

In contrast, their deliberate get-ups all looked too much.

Ruan Zeyan walked in with Ling Tianya without looking at these people. Ling Tianya’s eyes swept over these people before she found Madame Ruan in the crowd and smiled right at her.

“Grandma.”

This calling of grandma was so sweet and soft that Madame Ruan was sent into the clouds.

“Oh, my Ling girl, you’re finally home!”
