Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 675

Chapter 675: Her Words Should Just Be Ignored

Madame Ling’s face was as dark as it could possibly be. Anyone could tell that she was upset. Although Xiao Hong hadn’t married Ling Tao yet, she was still carrying the child of the Ling family. She thought of herself as the Ling family’s new daughter-in-law, and she was flustered when Madame Ling looked so visibly upset. She could only look at Ling Tianya apologetically.

Ling Tianya had been brought up by her grandma, so she knew what Madame Ling was like. She was probably traumatized after Ling Tao had previously sent her back to the countryside, and now she was trying to watch what she said. In the past, she would have started scolding them right away.

“Grandma, are you feeling unwell?” Ling Tianya asked the obvious question.

Madame Ling’s expression froze. “Nothing of the sort! You go ahead; don’t mind me.” Madame Ling’s words did not match her tone at all.

Ling Tianya and Xiao Hong looked at each other. Both of them were silent now.

Madame Ling looked even more upset that no one was probing any further. She frowned and said, “What is taking Ling Tao so long? All he has to do is to fetch someone!”

Xiao Hong replied patiently, ‘The nursing home is in the suburbs, and it’s very far from here. He’ll probably take some time settling the administrative part as well.”

As soon as Xiao Hong had finished speaking, Madame Ling took the opportunity to continue. “I don’t know what Ling Tao is thinking. Why did he have to bring Ling Tianxing back? She could just carry on staying at the nursing home.”

Madame Ling’s attitude towards Ling Tianxing was even worse than her attitude towards Ling Tianya. Ever since they were girls, she had never held much affection for them.

Later on, when Yu Meizi betrayed the family and Qu Wan tricked them, she was turned into a wild child. She was sent to the countryside and even abducted and taken overseas. She had been through all sorts of hardship.

Madame Ling despised Ling Tianxing with all her heart. Although the truth that Ling Tianxing was also part of the Ling family was now well-known, bringing her back to the family would make them a laughing stock.

Ling Tianya frowned when she heard what Madame Ling had to say.

Xiao Hong could tell that Ling Tianya was upset and replied to Madame Ling. “Tianxing is the CEO’s child. She was put in the nursing home because she was ill. Now that she’s a lot better, and it’s time for her to come home.”

Madame Ling narrowed her eyes and raised her voice at Xiao Hong. “When are you going to stop calling him the CEO? Do you still think of yourself as Lingtao Corporation’s secretary? Don’t forget, you are considered part of the Ling family now. If you give birth to a son, you will be a proper wife. You should change the way you address him!”

Madame Ling’s words stung Xiao Hong. What did she mean when she said that she would only be a proper wife if she gave birth to a son? Was she going to chase her out if she gave birth to a daughter instead?

Ling Tianya shook her head in silent disapproval and squeezed Xiao Hong’s hands. She gestured for her not to take Mdm Ling’s words seriously.

Ling Tao had gone through two unsuccessful marriages before, and he was cautious about marrying again. That didn’t mean that he treated Xiao Hong as a reproductive tool. He did want to take responsibility for her.

He just had an obstacle he had to get over by himself. He would give her proper status once he overcame this problem. The gender of the child didn’t matter. Boy or girl, it was his child after all.

Xiao Hong had been his secretary for so many years, and she knew his character well. She locked eyes with Ling Tianya and nodded her head slightly.

One didn’t need to take Madame Ling’s words too seriously. Sometimes, her words should just be ignored.
