This farce ultimately resulted in several people parting on bad terms. After Qiu Tianyi had left, Sun Ling’s mother fiercely glared at Sun Ling’s father and said, "Isn’t she your daughter? How could you embarrass and trample her like that in front of outsiders? If I were Xiaoling, I wouldn’t want to listen to your ’arrangements’ either—to marry that kind of scum who only has eyes for his mother. How could she be happy?"
"It seems to me that you just want to form an alliance and don’t care about Xiaoling’s happiness at all."
"I..." Sun Ling’s father was at a loss for words.
"Let me make myself clear. If Qiu Tianyi still behaves next time, if he still bosses my daughter around, I’m telling you, you can marry him yourself!" Having said that, Sun Ling’s mother angrily returned to her bedroom.
With no other option, Sun Ling’s father could only sigh.
In the room, Sun Ling had already turned on her computer and continued her work on artist engagement, as if the earlier row outside had nothing to do with her.
The relationship between the two families was already fracturing, but all this seemed to be under Sun Ling’s control. In that instant, Sun Ling suddenly felt the thrill of strategizing like a boss; the feeling of controlling everything was incredibly exhilarating.
Sun Ling didn’t strike while the iron was hot regarding the conflict between the two families, as that would be too obvious. She planned to continue following the boss’s orders, standing firm. Since Qiu Tianyi was so arrogant, she would definitely have to take down that fool.
Meanwhile, Qiu Tianyi returned home to the Qiu Family, stewing with anger. Upon seeing his mother up, he quickly asked, "Mom, why are you out of bed?"
"Have you achieved anything with your antics at the Sun Family?" Mrs. Qiu asked.
Qiu Tianyi shook his head: "Sun Ling steadfastly denies being disrespectful to you."
"Tianyi, I think we should not take this daughter-in-law," Mrs. Qiu said. "She doesn’t act like a lady at all, and you should see the things she does, everything is so improper. Listen to what she said to me; she said she would never have children in her life, and even if she did, she would kill the child."
"Did she really say that to you?" Qiu Tianyi was incredulous.
"Is there any doubt? But now, even if you tell her parents, they will only think that we are framing her and won’t believe she could be so malicious. I’ll talk to your father about finding you someone else. Surely, we won’t run out of options without the Sun Family, will we?
"Mom, I still think this is all Sun Ling’s conspiracy; she just wants to call off the engagement," Qiu Tianyi said. "How about this, Mom? I think both families should sit down together and talk things through. If we end up calling off the engagement, I still can’t let Sun Ling get her way, flaunting her influence. Also, I’ve got my eye on the Peak Entertainment where Sun Ling works. I’m planning to buy it outright. I really want to see how the Sun Family’s finances compare with ours."
"Son, if you’ve made up your mind, I support you!"
With his mother’s support, Qiu Tianyi seriously began to formulate a naive plan to acquire Peak Entertainment. After getting approval from his father, he called Sun Ling’s father to set up a meeting between both families to clear up the misunderstandings.
Sun Ling’s father thought it was a good suggestion and agreed to it.
Whether his daughter was pretending to be pitiful or not, everything would come to light once the parents met.
The next morning, as Sun Ling left the house, her father informed her there was a dinner party the next evening and told her to clear her schedule and dress nicely to uphold the family’s reputation.
Although her father didn’t specify who they were meeting, Sun Ling guessed it must be the Qiu Family cluster.
