Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 255
Chapter 255: Who Is the Actual Grandmother
Madam Ling was a little surprised. That was the first time she met the Ruans and she just wanted to show them her status in the Ling Family. Ling Tianya was her granddaughter after all, why couldn’t she discipline her?
Madam Ling’s face was stiff with an ugly expression, but she still would not dare not contradict the matriarch of the Ruan Family directly. All she could do was endure the humiliation while muttering, “My granddaughter was being insensible, and I was discipling her.”
“Huh, you came to discipline people?” Madam Ruan rolled her eyes. “On a day like today, I don’t think you should be disciplining your granddaughter. You are obviously not satisfied with this marriage and trying to make some oblique accusations. On the outside you were disciplining Miss Ling, but actually you were accusing us Ruans, weren’t you?”
Madam Ruan’s words just elevated the conflict to a new level. Her rage made Ling Tao sweat profusely, blaming his own mother’s untimely outburst.
“It’s all a misunderstanding. My mother didn’t mean that at all.” Ling Tao tried to smooth things out.
“She didn’t mean that? With that sour look on her face, she obvious meant it!” Madam Ruan’s coldness was rather terrifying.
Madam Ling was shocked to her core. She never thought that disciplining Ling Tianya would cause such a debacle. She was unhappy about the marriage, but the reason for her unhappiness was the fact that it Ling Tianya who was marrying Ruan Zeyan, and not that the Ruans were their future in-laws.
On one hand, she didn’t want to see Ling Tianya marry Ruan Zeyan, but on the other hand, she didn’t want to give up the Ruans as in-laws. Because of that complicated emotion, she just wanted to knock Ling Tianya own a notch, only to realize that it was a big mistake.
By then, Ruan Qishan had cooled down the warm look he was giving Ling Tao and Madam Ling earlier. “Mr. Ling, does your mother really think this way? If you are not happy with this marriage, we can…”
When she heard that Ruan Qishan used the word Mr. Ling instead of future in-law, Madam Ling was finally scared. “No, no! We’re very happy about this marriage. It is a wonderful thing that the Ling Family and the Ruan Family can be come in-laws. How can we not be happy?”
“Then…” Ruan Qishan groaned.
Madam Ling glanced and Ling Tianya and awkwardly put a nice smile on her face to replace the mean look from earlier. “My granddaughter has not been disciplined much from a young age, so I was afraid that she would annoy you by doing something inappropriate. That’s why I was trying to discipline her in front of you, so she would learn some manners.”
Ruan Qishan’s face eased up a little after hearing that.
Madam Ruan was not going to give in so easily. She looked at the other woman sideways. “How does Miss Ling not know manners? The fact that she came with us and not with you was bad manners?”
Madam Ling twitched her lips, but no sound came out.
Madam Ran went on, “Originally Miss Ling planned to pick you up herself today, but I told her that this place was hard to find so why not send a driver to pick you up? That way she didn’t have to go back and forth herself, and we Ruan could show you our sincerity.”
Madam Ling’s eyes bugged out after she heard that. She didn’t expect a story like that. In that case, by disciplining Ling Tianya right in the door, she was actually blaming the Ruan Family. No wonder the Ruans were unhappy. What shocked Madam Ling even more was the fact that the Ruans actually treated Ling Tianya so nicely. Especially the matriarch of the Ruan Family who would not stop talking about Miss Ling, as if she was Ling Tianya’s actual grandmother.
