“When she’s all better, I will find the best cosmetic surgeon and return your Tianxin to you.” Ruan Zeyan’s voice was heavy with promise.
Ling Tianya shook her head instead. “It’s pointless. My Tianxin isn’t coming back, ever.”
Ruan Zeyan knew what she meant. After going through such hell, even if her face was better, Ling Tianxin’s heart will never be able to be mended.
The man’s eyes lowered to land on Ling Tianya, silently shedding tears on his shoulder. He was never a person that could pacify others, but he was even more lost now. He didn’t know what he could do to make this woman before him happier. He felt lost, he felt… powerless.
Guan Meiyi and He Zhenxuan’s marriage had yet again created another wave of discussion online. Guan Meiyi had yet again become the focus of everyone’s gossip again after a long time of not being in the spotlight.
One’s a playboy born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the other a movie star with her reputation in tatters. They sure fit each other well.
The comments online were almost all negative or sarcastic. Even the rare congratulatory and well-wishes were quickly buried under other comments.
Not just the entertainment industry, but even the socialite community didn’t look up to this marriage. Everyone knew that the Guan family’s business was going downhill. They had wanted to amend relations with the Ruan family, but they were harshly rejected by them, and they had broken off all relations with the Ling family too. To secure the future of the company, Guan Jianlin had started to “sell off” his daughter and marry her off to He Zhenxuan. To He Zhenxuan, marrying a wife was basically just adding another pair of utensils in his home. It didn’t matter to him anyway. He would continue to be the playboy he is.
The most amazing thing was that no one had extended pity for Guan Meiyi, not for any other reason but the fact that marriages between high-end societies were just so. Many marriages were carried without feelings as their foundation. Guan Meiyi had always acted like she was above everyone else, and Ling Qi was also an arrogant person. But karma’s a b*tch, and now the Guan family’s paid their dues.
The Guan family’s nosedive had to be credited to Ling Qi too. The moment Ling Qi’s scandal was known to the world, the Guan family and its companies’ stocks started plummeting, and even Guan Jianlin’s having a headache over it.
Even if the outside world didn’t approve of this marriage, Guan Meiyi and He Zhenxuan’s marriage will still continue on two weeks later. Before her marriage, Guan Meiyi went to a place.
The mental hospital. Ever since Ling Qi had been sent in, this was the first time Guan Meiyi had set foot into the place.
In the ward, Ling Qi sat there like a wooden chicken. When she had first arrived, she had cried, had made a mess, had blown up, had struggled. But no one had ever cared. The more she got angry, the more the staff treated her like a mad woman. Over time, she had learned to be obedient — and the staff started treating her better too.
Here, she didn’t need to undergo any treatment. Rather than a hospitalization, it was more like a prison. But as long as she didn’t blow her top, they wouldn’t make her life difficult. Other than not being able to step foot out of this place, they were pretty lenient.
“Ling Qi, your daughter is here to see you!” The nurse impatiently opened her door.
Hearing the word “daughter,” Ling Qi’s dull eyes suddenly widened, her head jerking up as she looked towards the door agitatedly.
The person standing by the door was her daughter Guan Meiyi. She couldn’t remember how long as it had been since the last time she saw her daughter.
“Meiyi… My Meiyi…”
