“Hello, this is Ruan Zeyan.”
When Ruan Zeyan’s voice came through the line, the other side of the phone was silent for a few awkward seconds, before someone’s voice came through again. It was just that it was no longer Madam Ling, but Ling Tao.
“Ah, so it’s Mr. Ruan. Is Yaya with you?” Ling Tao’s voice was flustered, clearly it was because someone had just thrust the phone into his hands.
“Yes.” Ruan Zeyan’s answer was cold, clean, and compact.
On the other hand, Ling Tao felt like ants were crawling all over his heart. He didn’t know how to face Ruan Zeyan, especially with his mom shouting directly into the phone, without even seeing who was on the line.
“I... I’m looking for Yaya, can you call her to the phone?”
There was silence.
Ruan Zeyan’s silence unnerved Ling Tao more. Just as he was about to speak again, the other party spoke.
“Who was that person earlier?”
Ling Tao’s heart sank, “My... Yaya’s grandma. She heard about tonight’s situation and she was worried, I hope you can understand.” Ling Tao had purposefully said that it was Ling Tianya’s grandma, hopefully that would make Ruan Zeyan be more careful of his words and understanding, and he wouldn’t be too angry, “Can you pass the phone to Yaya? I have something I need to ask her.”
Ruan Zeyan looked to the side at Ling Tianya, his lips morphing into a perfect seductive smirk, “My apologies, she’s not in a good shape to pick up the phone right now.”
“What do you mean not in a good shape to pick up the phone?” Ling Tao thought. Ruan Zeyan’s words were too easily misleading. Ling Tao’s face changed drastically, feeling awkward and uncomfortable. He had wanted to talk more, but the line was cut off by Ruan Zeyan.
Ling Tao’s expression clearly expressed what he was feeling internally — conflicted. He put down the phone and Madam Ling rushed to ask about what was said, “How was it? Was he angry? I can’t believe Ruan Zeyan is with Ling Tianya!”
“He says that Yaya’s not in a good shape to pick up the phone, and then ended the call.”
“Not in a good shape to pick up? What are they doing?!” Madam Ling didn’t think towards the adult side of things, but she was getting more and more annoyed. Ling Tianya actually dared to blow her off so quickly!
Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing heard those words, and their faces definitely were not the definition of sunshine either. They were thinking about how Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan might be all chummy and affectionate right then, yet they were suffering with a huge swell on Ling Yuqing’s cheek. Ling Yuqing could feel the rage going through her blood like lava.
“If we can’t call tonight, then we’ll call tomorrow! Anything as long as that kid gets back here!” Madam Ling pushed herself up with the help of Miss Zhang and headed back into her own room.
That night, the Lings and the Guans could say goodbye to a good night’s sleep.
Right then, Du Gang had stopped the car at the lobby of the Silver Lake Condominiums. Ling Tianya snatched her phone back from Ruan Zeyan’s clutches, jumping out of the car as though she was escaping from a monster, afraid that she would be dragged back into the car.
Ruan Zeyan got out of the vehicle, his brows scrunching as he observed Ling Tianya scrambling to get far away from him.
“Ling Tianya, no matter what, I will not let you leave again.” he thought to himself.
“Du Gang, go get ready, we’re going to the Ling’s tomorrow.” After that night, Ruan Zeyan had an even more intimate understanding of how unfriendly the Ling family and Guan family had been treating Ling Tianya. He had created such a huge drama, and if he did not come out to settle it personally, it would only spell an even bigger trouble for Ling Tianya.
