The other’s words were no doubt a heavy hammer hitting on Qu Wan’s heart. “What do you mean you can’t contact them?”
“I mean, that it’s likely that they’re no longer around. Or, Ling Tianya’s words are likely true, Ruan Zeyan did find Ling Tianxin, and saved her.” The other’s tone dipped. “I was too confident. I haven’t maintained contact with the other side and now, we didn’t even know when something happened.”
“Then what do we do? What do we do?” The moment she thought about Ling Tianya finding Tianxin, Qu Wan’s stomach itched as though there were thousands of ants crawling in it. If Ling Tao and Ling Tianxin ever did another DNA test, then the fact that the DNA test back then was rigged would be exposed. She would meet her end. Qu Wan’s tone turned harsh. “We can’t let Ling Tianya get her way, definitely not!”
“Then what do you plan to do?”
Qu Wan’s eyes glinted with the sharpness of a blade. “Since you had took care of Ling Tianxin back then, take care of Ling Tianya the same way!”
The other seemed to hesitate, “It’s not that easy to just deal with her. After having interacted with her the past few times, she’s no longer the brainless idiot she was six years ago. Her status is different now, and Ruan Zeyan is often by her side. Trying to deal with her is also trying to deal with Ruan Zeyan at the same time. That’s just like throwing an egg at a stone.”
Taking their opinion into account, Qu Wan’s eyes sharpened. “Useless thing, are you afraid? Don’t forget, if not for Ling Tianya, we wouldn’t have lost our child six years ago! That was our only child, have you forgotten the pain?”
The moment the child was brought up, the other’s emotions were clearly agitated. “How could I forget?!”
“That’s good!” Qu Wan’s eyes filled with tears, her face vile. “So what if that b**ch has Ruan Zeyan by her side? There must be a time when Ruan Zeyan doesn’t have time for her. As long as we patiently wait, there will be a time where we can exact our revenge!”
“I know now, I will make arrangements as soon as I can.”
With the call ended, Qu Wan felt relaxed like never before. She knew, since a long time ago, that she should have gotten rid of Ling Tianya, as she had gotten rid of Ling Tianxin. If she was just a little more steel-hearted back then, a little more direct, maybe she wouldn’t be in such a passive position.
It was alright, they were not too late. As long as Ling Tianya was no longer in the picture, then the entire Ling family was hers and Yuqing’s only.
Thinking of how Huang Yuqing called to cry her woes each day, her heart hurt with worry.
Her Yuqing could have gotten everything; the position as the Ling family’s beloved daughter and the Ling family’s money. Because of Ling Tianya, she had lost all of it!
Since there was someone willing to help her dispose of Ling Tianya, she just had to wait at home.
When the call ended, Qu Wan’s mood cleared from a stormy night into a sunny day. She hummed a tune while heading back into the room.
From a dark corner, Miss Zhang ran out carefully. After confirming that Qu Wan had entered the room, she quickly called Ling Tianya.
“Hello, Young Miss? You had asked me to monitor Mrs. Qu Wan these past few days. There has been nothing special, other than her being distracted. During mealtime earlier, she was even lectured by Madam Ling. Then, earlier, she snuck out to pick up a call, and then her entire gloomy mood was lifted. I was far away and didn’t get to listen to the specifics of what she said. I could only pick up a few words like, she was talking about dealing with a b**ch…Okay, I understand. It’s my duty to do anything for the Young miss!” Miss Zhang’s face clearly showed her scheming side, chuckling as she ended the call. She entered the mansion too, with a tune on her lips.
In the restaurant, Ling Tianya put down her phone, continuing her meal as though nothing had happened.
“Who called?” Ruan Zeyan cut up the steak elegantly.
“My dad’s housekeeper.” Ling Tianya’s voice had a slight bounce to it, as though her mood had gotten better. “Oh, right, I wanted to ask you to help me investigate something. My information circle’s not wide enough, and I haven’t gotten too much progress on this even after a long time.”
“Oh? What is it?” Ruan Zeyan’s brow jumped, she was actually actively asking him for help.
“My step-mother was pregnant with a child six years ago, but accidentally lost it because of me. I want to know everything about that pregnancy.”
