Chapter 205: A Forced Smile

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Because of the trouble Huang Yuqing caused some time ago, Qu Wan had been holding her tail in between her legs for a while. Even Miss Zhang didn’t take her seriously anymore!

Qu Wan was furious inside, but having experienced a lot in her life, one of the biggest strengths was resolution.

Lifting her spirit, Qu Wan put on a gentle smile and walked over with tea and fruits.

“Yaya is back! You really haven’t been back home for a long time; your father missed you,” Qu Wan said as she put down the tea and fruits on the coffee table. “Here are the oranges and sweet apples that I bought and prepared today, have some,” Qu Wan spoke in a sweet voice. She was careful with her words. She said Ling Tao missed Ling Tanya but didn’t mention Madam Ling or herself.

If she added herself and Madam Ling, it would be hypocritical and Ling Tianya would not believe it. It didn’t take a brain to figure out that neither of them would miss Ling Tianya.

It was different to say that Ling Tao missed Ling Tianya. That would not only let Ling Tao know that she was trying to help ease the relationship between him and his daughter, but also let Ling Tianya feel that she was trying to please her.

Sure enough, once Qu Wan said those words, Ling Tao tapped on her hand and said, “You sit down. Let the servants do this.”

“Let the servants do it,” how could that reflect Qu Wan’s virtuous grace?

Qu Wan was truly a woman adaptable to circumstances. If Huang Yuqing had half the fortitude of Qu Wan, she wouldn’t be where she was.

“Yaya, why didn’t Mr. Ruan come with you?” Ling Tao casually asked, though he was his future son-in-law, Ling Tao still couldn’t call him by his name very naturally. The difference in social status between the two people was too huge.

Hearing Ruan Zeyan’s name, Ling Tianya smiled. “He’s very busy with work.”

Ling Tao nodded. A character like Ruan Zeyan was responsible for the whole Ruan Family and the Yuan Teng Corp, how could he not be busy?

Ling Tianya’s smile almost hurt Qu Wan’s eyes. Her eyelids trembled as she put on a forced smile.

Soon after, Miss Zhang rushed over. “Chairman, dinner is ready. Per your instructions, the dishes are all Miss Ling’s favorites!”

Ling Tao smiled and walked Ling Tianya toward the dining room. “Yaya, come and take a look, see if you like these dishes.”

Ling Tianya glanced at the dishes on the table. They were indeed the dishes she loved, but only before she was eight years old. People’s tastes changed. There was nothing on the table that she actually liked by then. It turned out that the only person who didn’t forget her preferences was Ruan Zeyan.

Thinking of the man who always had a cold face, Ling Tianya’s heart warmed.

At the dinner table, Ling Tao would put food in Ling Tianya’s bowl from time to time and complained that she was too thin and asked her to eat more.

Qu Wan was very put off by the scene. Although Ling Tao also loved Yuqing, he never put food in Yuqing’s bowl, nor did he mention that she was too thin and should eat more.

There was no denial that a stepdaughter would never measure up to a biological daughter. Ling Tianya was so unbearable back then, but Ling Tao could never be totally cruel with her. Yuqing just made a little mistake and Ling Tao ruthlessly kicked her out of the family.

Ling Tianya glanced at Qu Wan before she fixed her gaze on Madam Ling. From the look on her face, she was obviously impatient, but she still sat there quietly, as if something was brewing inside.

Ling Tianya already knew the reason but still asked, “Grandma, you don’t look very well, are you feeling okay?”

The words seemed to poke the old lady’s heart and her lips started to move.

Qu Wan lowered her eyes and took the lead. “Your grandma is worried about your aunt.”

“Of course...”
