Chapter 242: Her Choice

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

Ling Tianya really doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, being sandwiched between Madam Ruan and Ruan Zeyan.

Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi never expected that their own mother would discuss child-bearing with Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya in front of everyone.

Of course, when it came to kids, the more the merrier.

If Ling Tianya knew what Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi were thinking, she might go insane.

Ruan Lijia watched as Ling Tianya snatched up the spotlight. She and her parents were stuck in a ditch, and hate was bubbling from within her. She spoke up then, her sickly-sweet voice projecting across the room. “Since granny likes this Miss Ling so much, what gift does Miss Ling plan to gift her during such a special occasion?”

The challenge was clear in Ruan Lijia’s eyes. Ever since Ling Tianya had come through the doors, Ruan Lijia had watched the box in Du Gang’s hands. It was the same packaging box as the shop which the qipao “Two Phoenixes made in Heaven” came from. The prized possession had already been bought by her mother, so no matter the end result, Ling Tianya’s gift would definitely not be more impressive than “Two Phoenixes made in Heaven”!

There were so many people that gifted her qipaos, and Madam Ruan had barely given anything more than a twitch. Ling Tianya had better be ready to embarrass herself.

It wasn’t just Ruan Lijia that had noticed the box, most others in the room did as well.

Ruan Zeyan shot Ruan Lijia a sharp glare, sending a shiver down her spine. She had already spoken out loud, so she couldn’t take back her words, but she didn’t want to anyway.

Seeing that Ling Tianya didn’t reply for some time, Ruan Lijia bolstered her courage and piped out, “It’s not another qipao, right?” She pointed to the box in Du Gang’s arms, continuing, “How unoriginal. Everyone else gave qipaos, and you’re gifting a qipao too? Or is it that you just casually bought a qipao, and merely decided that whatever Brother Zeyan is gifting to Granny is your gift to her too?”

Ling Tianya scoffed at Ruan Lijia, her red lips parting to give way to a crisp voice. “Miss Lijia, you sure have thought on it a lot. You even thought things that I didn’t think off, you had already considered them for me, thank you for your hard work.”

“You–!” Hearing Ling Tianya jibe at her like that, Ruan Lijia’s face flushed red with anger. Just as she was going to explode, Ruan Zeyan’s death glare pinned her to the spot, scaring her into silence. All she could do was to glare at Ling Tianya.

With Ruan Lijia being snide, everyone got even more curious about Ling Tianya’s gift.

Ling Tianya stood up, taking the box from Du Gang, before returning back to Madam Ruan.

The disappointment still shone in Madam Ruan’s eyes when she saw the box, but all she did was laugh and show her anticipation. “I will like anything that the Ling Tianya gives me!”

Right then, some people had already scoffed at Ling Tianya’s gift. Others had given qipaos, and she was gifting a qipao too; there was absolutely no sincerity in it. Besides, looking at the box, even though the logo was the same, it was clear that the design wasn’t as elegant as the one Mrs. Ruan had gifted earlier. It didn’t even compare to the boxes that other people had gifted.

She definitely was from a small family, no matter how high the old lady praised her, she was still just a stingy person!

Ruan Qishan looked at Ling Tianya, the question evident in his eyes. With his understanding of Ling Tianya, she was not someone that would make such a rookie mistake. Could it be that he had made a mistake in his judgment?

Wang Yazhi looked at the item in Ling Tianya’s hands, sighing. She still couldn’t make the cut it seemed...

“Boss, isn’t Miss Ling’s present a little...” Du Gang reminded Ruan Zeyan softly, “Should we do something about it and help Miss Ling out?” If not, Miss Ling would be in an awkward spot later.

Ruan Zeyan shook his head surprisingly, still calm and collected. “I believe in her choice.”

Well... since his boss trusted Miss Ling so much, what else could he say?
