“You damn girl, what did you say? Curse me to die? Also, who did you call second wife!” The thing Qin Shi hated the most in her life was to be called second wife. “Hmm! You are the wife of the president of our family, how could you say something so mean and disrespectful to the elders! Today, everyone here is family. If this was in public, how could people not laugh at you?”
Qin Shi looked at Ling Tianya from the corner of her eyes and continued coldly, “You’re free to lose your own face, but don’t you humiliate the Ruan Family!”
Listening to the Qin Shi’s reprimanding of Ling Tianya, Ruan Guosheng was not showing any reaction. But on the side, Ruan Guofu and his wife were secretly cheering.
Both of them were humiliated by Ling Tianya before, so Qin Shi teaching her a lesson made them feel vindicated.
In their view, Qin Shi was the old man’s woman regardless and had a certain status in the family. Ling Tianya was merely a woman who just married into the family who wouldn’t dare to make a fuss.
Madame Ruan’s face was stone cold and she was visibly enraged. This Qin Shi was so shameless that she came over here and lectured her granddaughter.
However, nobody spoke up this time. Quarrels between women were no place for men to interject. Madame Ruan looked over at Wang Yazhi who seemed lost. Madame Ruan was very disappointed at this daughter-in-law of hers. Normally, you would see her all over the place, but as soon as there was a situation, she was completely useless.
Ling Tianya watched everything unfold and a trace of sharpness flashed through her seemingly innocent eyes. Then, she nudged her husband Ruan Zeyan. “What should I do? I am in trouble today. Do we have a family tree at home?”
Ruan Zeyan’s eyes were glittering, knowing that this little woman was scheming again. He nodded. “Yes.”
Ling Tianya knew that a large family like this would always have a family tree recorded somewhere.
“It seems that I should study the genealogy of our family and try to recognize everybody in the Ruan Family according to the genealogy. So, the next time an elderly shows up, I will know who the person is.”
When Ling Tianya said this, Qin Shi’s face suddenly changed. The faces of Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu also turned gray.
Qin Shi was a second wife; she would not be included in the family genealogy.
Then, Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Shi concernedly. She asked a seemingly harmless question. “I don’t recognize you. Would you be on the family free?”
“You!” Qin Shi was livid. Her hand that was holding her great grandson tightened so much that it made the child cry.
The child’s crying filled the living room. No matter how Qin Shi tried to comfort him, he wouldn’t stop. She began to feel a little annoyed.
The child’s mother watched her child cry and felt anxious, but she did not dare to go forward.
Seeing that Qin Shi received such a blow by Ling Tianya, Madame Ruan returned to a good mood as she looked at Ling Tianya with bright eyes.
Ling Tianya laughed, and her calm and gentle voice made people feel very comfortable. She looked at Qin Shi and said slowly, “You were right about one thing. I am the wife of Ruan Zeyan. From now on, my words and deeds will represent the image of the family. So, in order not to let outsiders laugh at me, I have to figure out one thing. Who belongs inside the family, and who is an outsider? I have to make sure, otherwise a random old lady can show up and call herself my grandma and say that she’s part of the Ruan Family. If I can’t figure out the situation myself, that would be a joke.”
Every word Ling Tianya said was aimed at Qin Shi. Qin Shi was so pissed off that her wrinkly face turned from white to red.
“You have a smart mouth!” said Qin Shi, clenching the back of her teeth.
“Thank you for your compliment.” Ling Tianya smiled, which irritated Qin Shi even more.
