Chapter 182: The Truth (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhang Li’s words didn’t come as a surprise, but even more, Ling Tianya felt sorry for herself. Just because Ling Qi was worried that her dirty deeds would be exposed, she chose to sacrifice Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya knew that Zhang Li’s words couldn’t be taken at face value either. At least, Li Chenfeng definitely didn’t find Ling Qi in order to uncover the truth or seek vengeance for Ming Hui. Most likely it was because there was evidence of Ming Hui and Ling Qi’s interactions, so they wanted to use it to blackmail Ling Qi. In order to protect her reputation and position, she chose to give them money.
Li Chenfeng probably wasn’t there for money only but had also requested to become the Ling family’s son-in-law. Because Huang Yuqing was well liked by the family, Qu Wan wouldn’t agree to let her daughter marry Li Chenfeng. Considering all their options, Ling Tianya would be the best option. Madam Ling had always been the most supportive of Ling Qi, and naturally wouldn’t reject it. Qu Wan couldn’t wait for Ling Tianya to marry a horrible person, so she would help Ling Qi too. With Ling Tao and Ling Tianya’s relationship at its most strained, and with Ling Qi and Madam Ling and Qu Wan’s coercing, Ling Tao naturally agreed to it.
Therefore, Ling Tianya was forced to marry Li Chenfeng with Ling Tianxin’s custodial rights as the hostage.
On that day six years ago, no one could predict that because of the people that Qu Wan had arranged to get rid of Tianxin, Ling Tianya would come to make a scene at the Ling family. She had caused Qu Wan to lose her unborn child, and she was chased out of the household by a furious Ling Tao. From then on, Ling Tianya had disappeared, with no one knowing where she had gone.
Zhang Li’s words were like a dagger. They were stabbing straight into Ling Qi’s Achilles’ heel, and her entire face contorted. “Rubbish! You’re just accusing me! Where’s your evidence?!”
Zhang Li’s face whitened; she didn’t have any evidence. Since Li Chenfeng hadn’t get to be the Ling family’s son-in-law, he had found Ling Qi again to threaten her. Ling Qi agreed to let the Li family take back their ten million dollar dowry from the Ling family, and she had given them thirty million dollars in addition as compensation in exchange for destroying all available evidence of her contact with Ming Hui. If not, they would not get a single cent.
Even though Li Chenfeng felt regretful that he couldn’t marry Ling Tianya, he knew to not force Ling Qi into a corner. After all, one can’t fish with a broken net and dead fish, and it was not beneficial to either party. Therefore, he took the money and destroyed the evidence accordingly.
With Zhang Li keeping quiet, Ling Qi glared at her, venom in her eyes. “The two of them are famously greedy.We all know how bad their reputation is! Everything they say is fake! Zhang Li, I definitely won’t forgive things just like that!”
With that threat, Zhang Li was a little afraid. After all, a bankrupt businessman was still stronger than a beggar.
Then, Ruan Zeyan spoke lazily, “We will know after we check if she is lying.”
Ruan Zeyan’s sudden words jolted Ling Qi, and when she turned back, she saw Ruan Zeyan lazily fiddling with Ling Tianya’s hands, kissing them from time to time, his voice dripping with honey. “I’m curious as to what the actual reason was for me and Ling Tianya being separated for six years was. If it really was like what she said…” Ruan Zeyan’s eyes brushed over Zhang Li, and she shuddered involuntarily. Ruan Zeyan kissed Ling Tianya’s hand again, and when he opened his eyes again, they had filled with murderous intent. “Then don’t blame me for what happens…”
Ruan Zeyan’s aura was pressing, silencing the entire room. Other than the plump lady and the people she had brought, everyone in the room had played a part in making Ling Tianya’s life difficult. If Ruan Zeyan really wanted to investigate the situation, none of them would get away unharmed. Even if Guan Jianlin didn’t know the full story back then, he was part of the pushing factor for Ling Tianya’s marriage to Li Chenfeng.
The plump lady couldn’t bear the heat anymore. She knew that the more one knew, the quicker one might die. “Uh, Mr. Ruan, I have something going on back at home, I’ll be leaving…” The plump lady then ran out of the room as though she was escaping a monster. The people that she had brought followed after her too. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to continue filming, but the atmosphere in the room was too scary, and they couldn’t stomach it at all.
