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

In the private room, Madam Ruan, Ruan Qishan, and Wang Yazhi, had long since met with Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya. When the employee said that the Ling family had arrived, Ruan Qishan immediately stood and went to welcome them when the door opened.

“Future in-laws, come in.” As Ruan Qishan initiated the welcome, Wang Yazhi naturally followed after him.

The entire treatment that he received on the way there was already spoiling Ling Tao to the point of fear. With Ruan Qishan calling them “future in-laws”, Ling Tao was a little lost.

Not too long ago, during the Yuan Teng Corporation’s annual dinner, because of Ruan Zeyan’s sudden proposal to Ling Tianya, Ruan Qishan had shot Ling Tao the scariest look he had received in his life. It had scared him so much that he dared not even take a deep breath.

The man before him actually initiated a handshake even with his sweaty palm and called them “future in-laws” happily!

Faced with Ruan Qishan’s sudden change, Ling Tao couldn’t react appropriately in time, and just stood there like a statue. He remembered that he was the face of the Ling family, and his cowardice was the Ling family’s cowardice. He swallowed down his saliva, bracing against the waves of fear crashing in his heart. He tried his best to smile as naturally as possible. “Sorry for the wait.”

Ruan Qishan shared a smile with Ling Tao, before bringing the entire family into the room to take a seat.

Ruan Zeyan held Ling Tianya’s hand as they stood by the table, waiting for the seniors of the Ling family to take their seats first. Ruan Zeyan was not the decisive CEO of his corporation in this situation, but instead was the future son-in-law of the Ling family. With the seniors not seated yet, he would not dare to sit first.

Seeing Ruan Zeyan stand respectfully by the side, and only bringing Ling Tianya to sit with him only after he was seated, Ling Tao suddenly felt that he had flown over all the troubles in his life. It wasn’t until then that he really, truly felt, that he was about to become in-laws with the famed Ruan family. He was really going to become the father-in-law of the renowned Ruan Zeyan!

Madam Ling watched Ruan Zeyan and couldn’t help but feel pity. She still thought that if Ruan Zeyan married Guan Meiyi, everything would be perfect. She looked at Ling Tianya sitting beside Ruan Zeyan, and her eyes instantly turned sharp. “Hngh! You still haven’t married, and you’ve already started to look down on your own family?”

The originally harmonious atmosphere was sent into an awkward silence because of one out-of-place sentence from Madam Ling.

Ling Tao didn’t think Madam Ling would give Ling Tianya a figurative slap in the face right at that moment, and immediately reached to tug on her sleeve. “Mom, what are you saying?”

“What am I saying? Did I say something wrong?” Madam Ling’s sharp voice huffed. “Until she marries into their family, she’s still a member of the Ling’s! Shouldn’t she have come here with us today?”

The Ruan’s expressions started to darken as they heard what Madam Ling was saying. They were clearly not expecting that she was a person that would say things that broke the mood up like that.

Ling Tianya knew that her own grandmother didn’t like her, and with what happened to Ling Qi, Madam Ling should be regretting that marrying Ruan Zeyan was not Guan Meiyi.

Even if so, that day was the day where both families were meeting each other. Ling Tianya still felt a little angered that Madam Ling would treat her like that in front of everyone.

“Now, sis, that’s certainly not something that I like to hear!” Madam Ruan’s face was strained as she talked. “Are you trying to teach your granddaughter a lesson, or trying to teach the Ruan’s a lesson?”

As the grandmother of the female side of the marriage, even though what she said was harsh, there really was no one seated around the table that could rebut her other than Madam Ruan.

Madam Ling looked stunned. She had wanted to reprimand Ling Tianya in front of the Ruan’s initially. It was to show the authority she had in the Ling family, and also to make Ling Tianya embarrassed before the Ruan’s, as to prevent her from looking down on the Ling’s after she’s gained the support of the Ruan’s.

She never expected that her words of chiding would bring about a disagreement with the head of the Ruan family.
