During the time when Ruan Zeyan was hospitalized, the Guan Family’s scandal was in full blast. Ruan Zeyan needed to rest, and Ling Tianya didn’t want to pay attention to the nonsense.
Ling Qi’s affair with Li Chenfeng was well known, and no matter how Guan Jianlin and Guan Meiyi tried to suppress it, it didn’t matter.
Later on, the Guan Family just gave up, because the behind-the-scenes pusher was Ruan Zeyan. Guan Jianlin knew that this was a retaliation against Ling Qi’s behavior six years ago. The Guan Family alone didn’t have the power to rival him.
After leaving A City, Guan Jianlin didn’t let Ling Qi return home and sent her directly to the mental hospital. It was claimed that, because of the impact of this incident, she had developed mental problems and had to seek medical intervention.
Ling Tianya just took a shower and was getting ready for a nice night of sleep. Although the hospital bed was very nice, Ling Tianya had always been attached to her own bed. Unless she was extremely tired, she found it hard to relax in a strange bed.
The second she got in bed, her phone rang loudly. She saw the caller ID and it was the landline from the Ling mansion.
Ling Tianya scrunched up her eyebrows. During the time when she was accompanying Ruan Zeyan at the hospital, Ling Tao called her several times and asked her to go home for dinner. The hospitalization of Ruan Zeyan was concealed from the outside world, so Ling Tianya had to use work as an excuse.
The cell phone kept ringing, and Ling Tianya finally answered. Ling Tao’s exhausted voice came on immediately. “Yaya, are you still busy?”
“Is there a problem?”
Hearing his daughter’s indifferent tone, Ling Tao felt a bit sad. He then spoke in a helpless and caring voice, “I am your father, can’t I just call you to ask how you are doing?”
Ling Tianya was slightly shocked by Ling Tao’s words. All those years Ling Tianya had written novels and scripts, and she was good at observing and listening. After working closely with directors and actors, she had learned to quickly determine whether a person was sincere or fake.
To her surprise, Ling Tao was completely sincere. It was the helplessness from a father who just wanted to be close to his daughter.
If Ling Tao continued to speak to her coldly, she could probably handle it better. Suddenly he sounded so pitiful, it pierced through the ice that had been in Ling Tianya’s heart for a long time.
“Yaya, are you still listening?” Ling Tao asked anxiously. He was really worried that Ling Tianya would just say that she was busy and hang up the phone again, like she did previously.
“I’m here.” Ling Tianya answered rigidly.
“Oh, there’s nothing special, I just wanted to ask you to come home for dinner since you haven’t for a long time.” Ling Tao paused for a few seconds. “But if you are busy, don’t worry about it.”
“I have time tonight.” Ling Tianya said casually.
“Oh…” Ling Tao was not prepared for that, but he quickly realized what was going on and said in a bright voice, “That’s great! I will let the kitchen know to prepare your favorite dishes!”
Ling Tianya felt relieved after hanging up the phone. She was still not accustomed to getting along with Ling Tao like a real father and daughter. Once the scars were formed, they could not be healed overnight.
Ling Tianya sneered.
Ling Tao was not the only person in the Ling Family who wanted to see her back home. The other’s motivation might be very different from Ling Tao’s.
There had been so much time wasted. It was time to solve the problem once and for all.
At dusk, Ling Tianya put on some simple clothes and got ready to head out. She looked at the watch and thought that Ruan Zeyan must have a lot of things to handle because he had not contacted her yet.
Ling Tianya felt a little bit of worried. The man had just been discharged from the hospital. Could his body handle such an intense work schedule?
