In the Ruan mansion’s living room on the first floor, Wang Yazhi sat in the center on the sofa, Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi sat on either side of her. The three women had sweet smiles on their faces, their conversation light and joyful. Ruan Qishan sat on the single-seat sofa, holding onto the finance section of the newspapers. He occasionally looked up, and sporadically commenting a word or two, but never really showed too much enthusiasm.
Ling Qi picked up her teacup in an act of grace, lightly taking a sip, before sighing. “During that incident, our Meiyi was totally tricked by Ling Yuqing!”
Guan Meiyi interrupted, “Mom, it’s Huang Yuqing.”
At the mention of the name Ling Yuqing, Guan Meiyi was pissed off too. If not for that useless woman, she wouldn’t be in such deep trouble. So, hearing that Ling Qi still called her Ling Yuqing, Guan Meiyi immediately interrupted her to correct her.
Ling Qi nodded, putting down her teacup. “Ah, I was just used to it! Yazhi, you don’t know how nice I was to that niece that came from nowhere, our Meiyi had only thought of giving her the best too, we didn’t expect her to be such a cunning person! The situation was completely initiated by her. Meiyi was convinced by her flowery words; she was lied to by Yuqing. She has received her retribution now, she was chased out of the Ling family by my younger brother and is fine after returning back to the Huang family. Our Meiyi, on the other hand, has been tangled up in all these things.” Finishing, Ling Qi held onto Wang Yazhi’s hands, “Yazhi, you’ve watched our Meiyi grow up, don’t you still understand what kind of person she is?”
Wang Yazhi nodded her head after some thought at Ling Qi’s words, “I did watch Meiyi grow from youth until now, I know her personality and what kind of person she is. Since youth, Meiyi has been very similar to me, a child that is so similar to me couldn’t be a bad child.” Wang Yazhi looked over to Guan Meiyi, the pain and pity evident in her eyes. “I knew this situation was a little strange, it was only after I watched the news that I heard the female reporter said that she was also lied to by Ling, uh, Huang Yuqing. So, you were lied to by her too. I guess you never really know a person’s heart, Meiyi, you are still too kind…”
Hearing Wang Yazhi say that she was kind with such sincerity and heartache, Guan Meiyi couldn’t help her flush of embarrassment, and squirmed in discomfort. In actual fact, she wasn’t lied to at all. From the start, she was the one that set up the trap with Huang Yuqing from the start. Even the evidence that Huang Yuqing had given to Zhang Ke to incriminate Ling Tianya was forged by her.
So, because Wang Yazhi still trusted in her fully and didn’t doubt her at all, Guan Meiyi wasn’t too comfortable with accepting it.
Ling Qi carefully observed every single one of Wang Yazhi’s emotions, satisfaction blooming in her heart. She knew that Wang Yazhi’s an innocent woman, and she was protected by Ruan Qishan very well from the outside world. She didn’t know about any politics; she didn’t ask about the real world either, only knowing how to live happily every day.
Ling Qi knew as well, that it was exactly because Wang Yazhi was so innocent that she was easy to convince. After all, Wang Yazhi had liked Guan Meiyi for so many years, she couldn’t just wipe all those years of emotions and a relationship away overnight. So, as long as she complained and whined a little to Wang Yazhi, and to dumped all of the responsibilities onto Huang Yuqing, Wang Yazhi would definitely believe it.
Reality proved them right, Wang Yazhi was certainly like that. Just a few words, and Ling Qi had completely bought over Wang Yazhi.
Wang Yazhi carefully picked up Guan Meiyi’s hands, looking at Ruan Qishan who was focusing on his newspapers. “I’ve said so, Meiyi’s not such a person. See, I was right.”
Ruan Qishan raised his gaze, his tone a little condescending. “Mm.” Then, Ruan Qishan went back to reading his newspaper. This wife of his, she was great, but she was just too innocent and too believing of others.
Of course, Ruan Qishan had been listening to the whole situation, but he did not speak up about it. He didn’t want Wang Yazhi to be unhappy.
Right then, the maids came over to report, “Director, the young master is back.”
Hearing that Ruan Zeyan was back, Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi’s eyes shone in anticipation, but the next few words dumped a bucket of ice cold water all over them.
“Young master has brought home his fiancee, Miss Ling, too.”
