As if she suddenly thought of something, Madame Ling asked the guard who was driving the scenic car, “Who was that person just now? Why did my granddaughter forbid her entry?”
The guard paused before answering. “She is the Ruan Family’s old man’s concubine, his small wife. The lady of the house despises her, so the young madame gave the order to forbid her entry into the mansion.”
Madame Ling listened to this with interest. As it turned out, Qin Shi, the self-proclaimed “Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother”, was actually a small wife with no status. Fancy that she had told her so many things. Madame Ling felt a shred of derison towards Qin Shi, but she did not reflect on the inappropriateness of saying so many bad things about Ling Tianya to Qin Shi.
The guard sent Madame Ling to the main house and handed her over to Mr. Zhong.
Because she was Ling Tianya’s grandmother, Mr. Zhong was incredibly polite towards her. “Please follow me. The young madame is waiting for you in the living room.”
Seeing that the housekeeper was being so polite towards her, Madame Ling’s sense of superiority shot up and she snorted through her nose. “En”, she said, without lifting her eyes or paying any attention to Mr. Zhong.
Mr. Zhong’s eyes flashed slightly, but he still respectfully brought her past the living room to Ling Tianya’s study.
Madame Ling was just lamenting over the magnificence of the main house when her face immediately scrunched up upon seeing Ling Tianya sitting in the living room with Wang Yazhi and Madame Ruan. “Why didn’t you come to pick me up and instead told a servant to come get me? You are even more arrogant now that you have married into a wealthy family!”
Mr. Zhong was still there and hearing Madame Ling’s words, the color of his eyes changed.
Seeing that Madame Ling had just arrived, and she was already telling Ling Tianya off, Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi were both offended.
Ling Tianya was already used to Mdm Ling’s harshness and therefore, she didn’t care about what she said to her. She gently said, “Mr. Zhong is a housekeeper who has been with the Ruan Family for over a decade. He is not a servant. Even if Ruan Zeyan saw him, he would acknowledge him as Mr. Zhong.”
Madame Ling’s face tightened. She didn’t think that the old guy’s status would be so high. If he had been able to work as a housekeeper for the Ruan Family for more than a decade, then his ability must be impressive, and his good relationship with the Ruan family obvious. Madame Ling reflected on her arrogance towards him, her heart became uncomfortable as she thought of how she had called him a servant.
However, Madame Ling had lived for many years and she had done many things that would get her face slapped. She always survived because she was unwilling to ever admit her mistakes. Therefore, despite knowing that she was being unreasonable, she remained calm. “No matter how many years he has served the family, he is still a housekeeper.”
Madame Ling narrowed her eyes, mumbled, and sat down on the sofa, minding her own business.
Ling Tianya nodded slightly towards Mr. Zhong, her eyes apologetic.
Mr. Zhong nodded his head in understanding. After this short encounter, he now understood what type of person Madame Ling was and therefore respectfully said to Ling Tianya, “I will go to prepare some tea.”
Just as Mr. Zhong turned around, he was stopped by Madame Ruan. “The Ling girl is pregnant. The nutritionist said that she cannot have things such as dimsum and coffee. Tell the kitchen to prepare some refreshing juice for her.”
“Okay.” Mr. Zhong did not waste his time looking at Madame Ruan. After nodding toward Ling Tianya, he turned around to leave.
The servant quickly arrived with the refreshments and Ling Tianya’s delicious juice.
Madame Ling was mesmerized by the tea set. In the past, Liu Fen’s family members had broken her blue and white porcelain tea set and she had been upset about it for a long time.
Seeing the complete tea set in the Ruan residence, her eyes sparkled.
