Chapter 702 - No Money
Chapter 702: No Money
After Yu Meizi spent a long time consoling her, Ling Tianxing finally stopped crying. She grabbed hold of Yu Meizi’s hands and refused to let go. In her subconsciousness, she probably had a strong desire to be cared for by her mother. Even before all of this, back when she was normal, she had held on to the same desires as now.
So, whenever Yu Meizi appeared beside Ling Tianxin as her mother, her obsessions and compulsions were to keep her by her side. It was impossible to break the truth to her.
Yu Meizi thought about her original plan to move back in with the Ling family. Now that Ling Tao had been in an accident, and with Madame Ling’s intense hatred of her, her chances of moving back were slim. She had brought all her luggage and her determination, and she wasn’t going to back away so easily.
She looked at Ling Tianxin who was hugging her tightly.
The gears in her head were moving quickly as she calculated her next move, and she said to Ling Tianya, “Tianya, your father had asked me to come over for a few days to take care of Tianxin. Now that your father is in the hospital and your grandma is the way she is, I don’t think it’ll be a good idea for me to go to the Ling mansion. How about I take Tianxin to go stay with your maternal grandma for a few days. I’ll take care of Tianxin for the time being, and you can concentrate on your father. What do you think?”
Ling Tianya was silent. Yu Meizi’s plans were undeniably sound, and it all sounded feasible.
“Don’t worry Tianya, Tianxin is my daughter after all. She can’t be apart from me now, so isn’t it better for her mother to take care of her than all the helpers and the maid that you’ve hired? What do you say?”
Ling Tianya gave it some thought before eventually nodding her head. “Alright then, I’ll leave Tianxin to you. No need to move back with Grandma though. I’ll arrange a hotel suite for you.”
When Ling Tianya only offered to arrange a hotel room for her, Yu Meizi was a little upset. When Yu Chenshi and Yu Luoluo had arrived, Ling Tianya had given them a wide selection of properties and estates for them to choose from. She even arranged a driver and nanny to take care of them the whole time.
How come she was only fit for a hotel room? She wouldn’t even let her stay with Yu Chenshi? Why? Was she afraid that she would never leave?
After thinking about it, Yu Meizi said, “That’s too much trouble. You have so many estates, so you can just arrange for us to stay at one of those. I think staying at your grandma’s is the best plan. We can take care of each other and look out for one another.”
Ling Tianya didn’t want to hear any more of Yu Meizi’s plans or preferences, and she wasn’t going to give her room to bargain. “Da Yi, arrange a hotel suite for Yu Meizi. Go home and pack up some of Tianxin’s clothes and send her to the hotel for a few days.”
When Yu Meizi saw that there was no chance of Ling Tianya budging, her face fell. “Well, if that’s the case, Tianxin would have to make do for the time being then. I’m completely fine with the hotel arrangement, and there’s no big problem. The only thing is I’ll need money to take care of Tianxin, and I didn’t bring any cash with me when I came out here in such a hurry. Tianya, do you think…”
Yu Meizi looked at Ling Tianya, expecting her to pull out a cheque for her just she had the first time they met. Since Ruan Zeyan was there too, she expected it to be a generous sum of money.
However, Ling Tianya replied coldly, “They have all you need at the hotel, and your daily necessities will be provided for. Just put everything on the bill, and I will ask Da Yi to arrange everything at the hotel.”
