Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the hospital, Ruan Zeyan had stopped everyone from visiting Ling Tianya. Even those from the Ling Family had to first receive permission before they were able to go in.
Madame Ruan did not step foot into the hospital at all. She didn’t allow Wang Yazhi to go either, causing Wang Yazhi to become endlessly depressed.
Many people who were paying attention to the Ruan Family’s every movement. Many of them were unable to contain their curiosity and would scout out news from the Ruan Family under the guise of sympathy. Every time this kind of person called round, Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi would go sit on the living room sofa.
Madame Ruan’s face would be full of worry and she would accidentally announce that Ling Tianya was infertile. Wang Yazhi now believed that her mother-in-law had come to dislike Ling Tianya, and she couldn’t help but think that Ruan Qishan and her mother-in-law were considering finding another woman for Ruan Zeyan. She felt extremely sorry for Ling Tianya. Her tears fell uncontrollably, and she kept mumbling, “My poor Yaya…”
Soon, a rumor started that because Ling Tianya was now infertile, the Ruan Family had turned against her, abandoning her in the hospital and forbidding her from contacting the outside world.
Seeing that the formerly impressive young lady of the Ruan Family was now a discarded woman, many people were now restless and couldn’t wait to send their own daughters to the Ruan Family. Ruan Guofu’s family were among those who weren’t able to sit still.
Ruan Lijia anxiously paced back and forth in the living room.
“Father! When will you discuss the matter with uncle? Just look at all of the chaos outside. So many families have already began moving. Today they would entertain uncle. Tomorrow they would entertain aunt. Even great grandmother attended many dinner parties. Everyone is recommending women to Brother Zeyan!”
Lijia’s voice was already childish. Now that she was anxious, her voice was even more shrill.
Ruan Guofu rubbed his ears. He was also anxious. “But, your second uncle said to wait a while longer.”
“Wait for what? How long do I have to wait?” Ruan Lijia was angry. “Father, you obey everything that Second Uncle says. Can’t you decide anything by yourself? If we wait any longer, Uncle’s family will probably already have selected someone. I won’t be able to do anything then!”
Ruan Lijia’s words made Ruan Guofu feel anxious, but he continued to follow Ruan Guosheng’s orders. “Let’s wait for your Second Uncle’s notice. He won’t harm you.”
Third Mrs. Ruan walked up from behind and comforted Ruan Lijia. “Be obedient, Lijia. Let’s wait.”
“But, mom…”
“Lijia! Think about your status! Are you an ordinary person? Even if your uncle has selected someone, as long as Second Uncle and those three grandpas say something, then your uncle will definitely choose you. After all, you grew up in the Ruan Family and you are also the daughter of an affluent family.”
Hearing Third Mrs. Ruan’s words, Ruan Lijia was finally able to calm down and she returned to her room. No sooner had she calmed down, however, then Ruan Lijia was once again anxious.
How could she forget about the woman in hospital? Ling Tianya was still Brother Zeyan’s wife. In the past, she had caused her to become publicly embarrassed in the Yuan Teng Tower and even now, Ruan Lijia was unable to set foot there.
Now, Ling Tianya had been knocked down. How could she herself not join in on the excitement and express sympathy for her? Ruan Lijia’s eyes lit up, and she decided to personally go to the hospital.
