“Yaya…” As Yu Meizi looked at Ling Tianya, she was unable to speak. She wanted to run over and embrace Ling Tianya but didn’t dare. At last, she could only sit on the sofa, paralyzed and heartbroken as she wept tears of sorrow.
Ling Tianya stood at her original spot, expressionless. She blinked, as if she wanted to say something but nothing came out.
Madame Ruan sighed, standing. “It’s been awhile since you two last saw each other, so have a good chat.” As she spoke, Madame Ruan gave Wang Yazhi a look telling her to leave together with her.
Wang Yazhi nodded her head and stood up. Truthfully, she also wanted to leave. This was the kind of scenario that she feared the most because she didn’t know how to respond to it.
After Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi left, Mr. Zhong also sighed and left.
At the moment, only Ling Tianya and Yu Meizi were left in the enormous living room.
“Yaya…” Yu Meizi wailed, “Mom is sorry for what she’s done to you…”
“Mom…” Ling Tianya quietly mumbled, the words unfamiliar to her. She was able to easily call Wang Yazhi mother but facing Yu Meizi, the words wouldn’t leave her mouth. Ling Tianya unsteadily walked to the sofa and sat down, her gaze a little empty, and her thoughts jumbled.
Yu Meizi grabbed Ling Tianya’s hand. “Yaya, Mom has wronged you these past couple of years. Seeing that you are doing fine now, my heart can finally settle down.”
Ling Tianya retracted her hand, her expression indifferent. “When did you come back?”
Seeing her daughter retract her hand, a look of hurt crossed Yu Meizi’s face. “I came back yesterday night.”
“Do the others know? Does grandma and aunt know?
Yu Meizi shook her head. “I haven’t informed anyone else. I came to find you first. The one I think of most, the one one I worry the most about is you.” Speaking, Yu Meizi wiped her eyes, her voice choking. “These years, the one I worry the most about is you. I often think about you so much that I start crying in the middle of the night. So many times I wanted to come back to visit you but didn’t dare to. I was scared that the Ling family would retaliate against me, I…” Speaking, Yu Meizi once again started crying.
“Retaliate against you?” Ling Tianya’s eyes gradually cleared. “I only want to know, why did you me and abandon Tianxin? Did someone force you?”
This question had always been stuck in LIng Tianya’s mind. She really wanted to know why Yu Meizi left. Was it out of her own will or did someone work from within and forced her to do it?
Yu Meizi knew that there was no way for her to avoid the question. Lowering her head, she avoided Ling Tianya’s gaze. “I wasn’t living well in the Ling residence. At the time, you weren’t that young, so I didn’t want you to know. I couldn’t handle your grandma’s harshness and your aunt’s arrogance. The most important thing was that your father was never on my side, he only knew how to be filial. Yaya, it was because I really couldn’t handle it anymore. I felt like I was living a worse life than a servant in the Ling family.”
“So you cheated?” Ling Tianya coldly asked. These years, Ling Tianya had always believed that there was another reason that Yu Meizi had cheated but now it seemed that wasn’t the case.
Yu Meizi took a deep breath. “Yes, at my most difficult moment, Zhang Chao appeared. At the time, Zhang Chao was the Ling Family’s chauffeur. Everyday, I saw Zhang Chao more than I saw your father and ultimately, we became an item.”
