Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Bring Up the Old Thing

At the Ling mansion, the family was sitting together having tea.

Madam Ling looked very gloomy; she had been like that for a few days. To her, it seemed that nothing had gone well recently, and everyone was against her. She had always believed that she was the one who controlled the whole situation, and everything would go her way.

However, some time ago, things had gradually exceeded her control.

“Hmmm.” Madam Ling sighed heavily.

“Mom, why are you sighing?” Ling Tao inquired. Even though he had a lot of dissatisfaction with his mother, Ling Tao was used to being a filial son and couldn’t ignore Madam Ling.

Madam Ling took a look at her son and did not speak.

Seeing that his mother was not in the mood to talk to him, Ling Tao gave up trying to be nice and took out this phone to make a call.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Ling Tao scrunched his brows and complained, “What is with Mr. Bai today? Why isn’t he answering my calls?”

Hearing Mr. Bai’s name being mentioned, the absent-minded Qu Wan suddenly perked up. She knew what Mr. Bai was doing that day, so she smiled and said to Ling Tao, “Maybe he’s busy with something. Tao, what are you looking for Mr. Bai for?”

Ling Tao stared at the phone and said, “I want to talk to him about Yaya’s marriage. I am planning to give some stock from the company to Yaya, and I want Mr. Bai to draft an agreement.”

Ling Tao really relied on Mr. Bai. Every time he wanted to do something, he would always ask Mr. Bai’s opinion and even let Mr. Bai do things for him.

“Huh!” Madam Ling snorted. “Why are you giving stocks to that damn girl? Isn’t she very rich? Is she even going to care about stocks from the Ling Family?”

Judging from his mother’s strange tone, Ling Tao knew that the old lady was still angry about the 50-million-dollars from before. Ling Tao sighed quietly, and then patiently explained, “After all, Yaya is my only daughter, and she is going to get married. I have to give her something from the Ling Family. When I get old in the future, isn’t everything of the Ling Family going to be Yaya’s anyway?”

Thinking about that possibility made Madam Ling very uncomfortable. In the end, everything of the Ling Family would belong to Ling Tianya.

Madam Ling couldn’t help but glance at Qu Wan’s belly. “If you could have kept that baby back then, this would be much better!”

No one was expecting Madam Ling to bring up the miscarried baby from six years ago. The mood in the room suddenly became heavy.

Madam Ling looked really sad. Regardless of how much she had loved Guan Meiyi, in the bottom of her heart, she still wanted a grandson. If only Ling Tianya was a boy, even though her mother Yu Meizi eloped with someone else, Madam Ling would not be too hard on her if she were a boy.

Qu Wan put her hands on her belly subconsciously.

That was right. If she could have kept that baby everything would be better. Everything belonging to the Ling Family would be hers and the baby’s instead.

She didn’t have to worry about that anymore. By the end of that day, Ling Tianya would completely disappear. Then, she would have no more obstacles in the Ling Family!

“Mom, don’t bring up things from the past.” Thinking about the child from six years ago, Ling Tao’s heart still ached. That was his son, how could he not be sad?

That was the past. Plus, Ling Tianya had paid a high price for it, being ostracized by the Ling Family for so long. Finally, the family was back together. What was the point of bringing it up again?

Madam Ling felt weepy and stood up to leave when the servant came to report that Ruan Zeyan’s right-hand man Du Gang was there.
