The last month before the wedding went by very fast. Ling Tianya, who had been enjoying her free time, had become increasingly busy.
Wang Yazhi and Madame Ruan would invite her out from time to time, and the three of them would go shopping together. This was the first time Wang Yazhi was about to be a mother-in-law, so she felt that she had all this energy to spare. In fact, because of the Ruan Family’s status, many things did not require Wang Yazhi to attend to personally. But she still made herself busy every day and loved doing it.
After a while, Madame Ruan couldn’t stand it anymore. So, when Wang Yazhi suggested that they go shopping again, Madame Ruan started to find excuses to get out of it.
Ling Tianya, as the future daughter-in-law, couldn’t refuse the enthusiastic Wang Yazhi. After all, everything that Wang Yazhi was doing was for her and Ruan Zeyan’s wedding.
Therefore, even though Ling Tianya was a person who did not care for shopping very much, she had to continue shopping around with Wang Yazhi.
Today, Wang Yazhi and Ling Tianya met at a teahouse.
When Ling Tianya got there at the scheduled time, she was told that Wang Yazhi had already arrived. Not wanting to make her future mother-in-law wait, Ling Tianya sped up her pace. But before entering the door, she heard a young woman’s voice in the room, in addition to Wang Yangzhi’s.
The person sounded familiar, and when Tianya opened the door, there were indeed two people inside.
In addition to Wang Yazhi, there was Mandy, who she had not seen for a long time.
Ling Tianya noticed that the smile on Mandy’s face froze up the moment she saw Ling Tianya. But a second later, the smile recovered on her face as she stood up politely. “Miss Ling, here you are.”
“Yeah.” Ling Tianya glanced at Mandy casually and did not show much emotion. She smiled and looked at Wang Yazhi and said warmly, “Auntie, you came early, I thought I was late.”
Wang Yazhi looked at Ling Tianya and kept her smile on her face. “You are not late, I arrived early. And it is a coincidence that I ran into Mandy close by, so I asked her to join us. Don’t you mind?”
Wang Yazhi posed it as a question, but there was no way Ling Tianya could say anything but, “Of course, I don’t mind.”
Wang Yazhi nodded. “Well, I’ve known Mandy since she was child and she grew up around me. You must know who her older brother was. Man Peng lost his life in order to save Zeyan, so the Ruan Family are duty-bound to take care of Mandy.”
When Wang Yazhi’s mentioned her dead brother, a hint of sorrow flashed over Mandy’s face. But she kept smiling, which made people want to sympathize with her. “Ma’am, you don’t have to say that. Giving his life for Mr. Ruan was the blessing of my brother. If it was me, I would also do anything to save Mr. Ruan.”
When Wang Yazhi heard that, she was completely moved and grabbed Mandy’s hand immediately. “Good child, I know what you mean. You are like your brother, you are loyal to our family. I believe it and Zeyan also believes it!”
Wang Yazhi’s words flattered Mandy and made her almost cry. Then she seemed to remember that Ling Tianya was still in the room. Mandy held back the tears and tried to smile. “Ma’am, it’s all my fault. Because I am here, you are ignoring Miss Ling. Look at Miss Ling’s face, she must be jealous!”
Ling Tianya was caught off guard by her words. Was she jealous? All she was doing was watching a good show in front of her with no facial expression. Where did the jealousy come from?
Hearing that, Wang Yazhi looked over at Ling Tianya. “Yaya, are you mad?”
