After dinner, Madame Ling called Liu Fen to her room.
Liu Fen originally thought that she would take the opportunity to approach Ling Tao, so when she was called away by Madame Ling she was not pleased. But she did not dare to disobey the old lady who was the only person she could rely on in the Ling Family.
Inside the room, Liu Fen saw the old lady who had a cold expression on her face.
“Madame, were you looking for me?” Liu Fen asked with a sullen face.
“Hm!” Madame Ling snorted. “I had told you to get along with Ling Tianya. Did you not take my words seriously?”
Liu Fen rolled her eyes and retorted with dissatisfaction, “Madame, you also told me that you would make a complaint in front of the Mister…”
Liu Fen’s words made Madame Ling angry. “How dare you! Who am I in this family and who are you? I am giving you an opportunity to bear a son for the Ling Family and you really think yourself as the master now? How dare you to compare yourself to me? Even if I had pissed off Ling Tianya, I am still her grandmother and we are of the same blood. Do you know what would happen if YOU pissed her off? Even if Ling Tao does not rip you open, the fiancé of that girl will never spare you!”
Liu Fen knew that Ling Tianya was getting married soon into a good family. But she had fixed her eyes on Ling Tao ever since she started working at the Ling Family. So, in her mind, Ling Tao was the most powerful man, and no one else could match that. Hence, she never really took Ling Tianya’s fiancé seriously.
Liu Fen lowered her head and mumbled something.
Madame Ling was annoyed by the sight of her. “Look at yourself! How could my son like someone like you!”
“If the mister doesn’t like me, I can’t do anything about it. I have worked very hard!” Liu Fen said disgruntledly. Every day, she tried to get close to Ling Tao but he never gave her any chances.
“Worked hard? Are you not embarrassed to say that you are working hard?” Madame Ling was so angry that she laughed. “Think about your behaviour at the dinner table tonight: vulgar, ignorant, and petty! Why were you picking a fight with Ling Tianya over some dishes?”
Liu Fen sighed and stopped refuting her.
“Remember, you need to get along with Ling Tianya for these two months. Maybe you will be lucky enough to get pregnant in two months, and then you can eat whatever you want.”
When she heard that, Liu Fen’s eyes glowed with hope again. She stopped muttering and her face no longer looked depressed.
Her rough hand rubbing her stomach, Liu Fen had a huge smile.
At this time, in Ling Tao’s study, the father and daughter were chatting and drinking tea.
This was a scenario Ling Tao had dreamed about for a long time. Now when it finally became reality, he didn’t know what to say to his daughter at this moment.
In a short while, he finished three cups of tea.
When he picked up his fourth cup, Ling Tianya stopped him. “Dad, were the dishes too salty tonight?”
Ling Tao’s face felt tight for a second. He knew that his daughter was insinuating Liu Fen.
Ling Tao sighed heavily. “What do you think of that Liu Fen?”
“She’s just a housekeeper.”
Ling Tao studied his daughter for a long while and said after another heavy sigh. “You must have noticed it. This Liu Fen is not just a housekeeper. Your grandmother is trying to get me and her together.”
Ling Tao was too embarrassed to say this before. His marriage had just ended not too long ago and in such an unspeakable manner. So, he was not ready to consider another relationship, especially with a woman as refined as Liu Fen.
