In the hotel lobby, Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing were drinking coffee. Neither of them looked particularly happy. They had been staying there for a few days by then. Although Ling Tao was taking care of their needs, and booked them into the most expensive presidential suite in the hotel, nothing compared to home.
Every day, Qu Wan would plead with Ling Tao for them to move back. Apparently her mother-in-law was still mad at them. If Ling Tao let them go back, they ran the risk of pissing off the old lady and permanently ruining their chance of moving back in.
“Mom, when do you think we can go back?” Ling Yuqing took a sip of her mocha, looking depressed, “Many of my friends have come to know that I’m staying in a hotel. I feel that they look at me differently now…”
In the past, Ling Yuqing would go to lots of girl’s parties as the daughter of the Ling Family. People would treat her nicely, given her family background, because it was common for influential families to mingle. Ling Yuqing quite enjoyed the family name and the fancy life style it afforded her. Since the news got out about her and her mother being kicked out of the Ling Family mansion, her wealthy friends had started to distance themselves, or at least become more inquisitive.
Ling Yuqing was spoiled by years of feeling entitled. She couldn’t stand life in a hotel, so she ended up spending most of her days tormenting the hotel staff or shopping. Even that couldn’t make up for that intense sense of defeat she was experiencing.
Qu Wan couldn’t empathize with her daughter more. After all, she was the wife of the head of the family and the one who managed the family affairs for years. “That old woman is still mad, so your Dad will not let us go back.” Qu Wan said, hatefully. “I love your Dad, but I can’t stand his stupid filial piety. I don’t understand why he is so scared of that soon to be buried old thing? I was the one who had to deal with her all these years!”
“What can we do…” sighed Ling Yuqing, sitting on the sofa chair lifelessly. “At the end of the day, it was all Ling Tianya’s fault. I thought she would have died somewhere by now. Dad tried so hard to find her back in the day and was told she got in a car accident. We didn’t hear from her for so many years. God knows how she managed to come back alive — more than just alive, she is doing fantastically!”
Ling Yuqing was particularly morose about that day at the birthday party, where Ling Tianya had been absolutely the center of attention.
She already had Guan Meiyi to worry about, now she was second fiddle to Ling Tianya too!
Fate was playing jokes on her, she thought.
Thinking about Ling Tianya, Qu Wan spoke with a more calculated tone, “Sooner or later, Ling Tianya is going to be the biggest problem for us. We have to find a way to get rid of her, once and for all. You and I will never have a future in the Ling Family otherwise.”
She was capable of kicking Ling Tianya out of the Ling Family the first time, who said she wouldn’t be able to do it again? This time, she wanted her out for good!
“Mom, is that Ling Tianya over there?” Said Ling Yuqing suddenly, pointing at the hotel patio on the second floor.
Qu Wan looked up in the direction, it WAS that bitch Ling Tianya!
Enemies have narrow paths!
At that point, Ling Tianya had just walked out of the audition, trying to calm her anger on the hotel patio.
Unexpectedly, she heard Ling Yuqing’s baby-doll voice, “Tianya Sister, what are you doing here?”
