Chapter 209: Planted the Seeds

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

All of a sudden, the dinner table fell silent. Everyone looked at each other.

Ling Tianya said that the day before she left, she only told Ruan Zeyan and Qu Wan that she was going to City A. Ruan Zeyan certainly would not disclose the whereabouts of Ling Tianya to Li Chenfeng. Then, the reason why Li Chenfeng and Ling Qi knew the exact whereabouts of Ling Tianya could only be that Qu Wan had leaked it to them.

The fact that Qu Wan didn’t tell anyone else in the Ling Family that Ling Tianya was going to City A was really suspicious.

In front of Ling Tao’s untrusting eyes, Qu Wan felt that she was walking on thin ice and forced herself to be calm. She tried to put on a pitiful face. “Tao, are you suspecting that I told Yaya’s whereabouts to your sister and that bastard Li Chenfeng?”

“Wasn’t it you? Other than you, only Yaya and Mr. Ruan knew it. Could the two of them tell it?” Ling Tao asked coldly.

Qu Wan lowered her eyes pitifully. “I know there’s nothing I can say right now, and I definitely look the most suspicious.” Then Qu Wan looked up at Ling Tao and Ling Tianya with an innocent look. “But it really wasn’t me! Oh, I remember! I called Yaya that day to ask her to come home for dinner. I also called Yuqing that day and she told me the Huangs were not treating her well and she missed here and missed you, Tao. I knew that she made a big mistake and can’t be allowed back easily.”

Qu Wan was observing Ling Tao’s reaction as she spoke.

Ling Tao made a noise, still seeming disgusted with Huang Yuqing. She regretted it by then, but why didn’t she think about the consequences when she was plotting against his Yaya back then?

Qu Wan took in the disgusted look in Ling Tao’s eyes, clenching her teeth, she continued, “Yuqing made a big mistake and wronged Yaya, so I thought I would take the initiative to invite Yaya to come home for dinner, I...”

“This is the Ling house and Yaya is returning to her own home. How could you call that an invitation?” Ling Tao interrupted Qu Wan impatiently. If his daughter returned to her home, and Qu Wan called that an invitation, it was obvious that Qu Wan didn’t regard his Yaya as a member of the Ling family!

Qu Wan realized the mistake and quickly corrected herself. “I was wrong. I was thinking about Yaya’s prestigious status now. She is about to marry into the Ruan Family, and an invitation seemed to match her status...”

Seeing that Qu Wan was losing her footing and biting off her own tongue, Ling Tianya sneered inside.

Expectedly, Ling Tao’s expression became concerned. “Even if Yaya is marrying into the Ruan Family, she is still my daughter. This family will always belong to Yaya. She can come back whenever she wants!”

“Yes, of course!” Qu Wan nodded repeatedly but detested every word of it in her heart. She did not expect Ling Tao to care about Ling Tianya so deeply. For the sake of her plan, she quickly changed the subject and continued to look pitiful. “In short, Yuqing owed Yaya, so I wanted to apologize on her behalf. Then, Yaya said that she was going to City A. Originally, I had already told the servants in the kitchen to prepare the dishes. When Yaya said she couldn’t come back, I had to tell the servants that Yaya was going to City A and not coming for dinner, so they didn’t have to prepare the dishes. I didn’t tell you about this because I was afraid that you would be disappointed. The servants in the kitchen knew about this, and maybe it was one of them who told your sister?”

Ling Tao tightened his brows. “Go and get me the people who were in the kitchen that day. I’m going to find out who wanted to hurt my daughter!”

Qu Wan’s face stiffened and she said very awkwardly, “That person took the day off today... maybe...”

“Forget it, Dad,” Ling Tianya interrupted. What a coincidence that the servant just happened be off. If Qu Wan dared to say that, it wouldn’t matter if they really found the servant. “What is done is done, there’s no need to keep pressing. I believe that Auntie will not intentionally harm me.”

Since Ling Tianya said to let go, Ling Tao decided not to press on. Her last sentence and Qu Wan’s series of reactions planted the seeds of doubt in Ling Tao’s heart.

Ling Tianya knew that once such seeds were planted in his heart, they would just sprout and grow.
