    Everyone was startled by this person who seemed to have emerged from nowhere. She looked familiar, but no one was sure.


    “Tianya, you are here!” Xin Xin was the first to recognize her. She walked over to Ling Tianya and pulled her close affectionately, “This is Ling Tianya, you guys don’t remember her?”


    “Ling Tianya? The girl who looked innocent in high school, but had a terrible reputation?”


    Back in those days, people knew Ling Tianya, not because she was the daughter of Ling Tao or because of her looks. People knew her because she would always make Ling Yuqing, who was the beauty queen of the school, cry. Ling Tianya had a crappy personality too and didn’t get along with other kids. Almost the whole school ostracized her.


    Watching the surprised faces of her old teachers and ssmates, Ling Tianya felt slightly annoyed. “Was this necessary?”


    In fact, Ling Tianya knew why they were surprised. She pretty much disappeared right after high school and lost contact with all of them. Even when she was still in school, everyone knew she was having constant fights with her father, Ling Tao. Compared to Ling Yuqing, who was well loved by the family and was always generous towards ssmates and teachers, Ling Tianya was the less favored daughter who had no money.


    As a result, Ling Yuqing enjoyed top poprity at school while Ling Tianya was dumb enough to be taken advantage of and set up by Ling Yuqing to be the bad guy in many incidents.


    “She is Ling Tianya?”


    “Well, she does look like her, but at the same time, not like her...”


    “What did she just say? She paid for everyone at the party today?”


    “Yeah, that’s what she said!”


    “Where did she get the money? I remember that she was broke when we were in school...”


    “Don’t be stupid. She is still the daughter of the Ling Family! She must have made up with her father over the years. She is his blood after all.”


    “I guess... Did you guys see the stuff on Weibo?”


    “You mean that Ling Yuqing got kicked out of the family to live in a hotel, and then caught kneeling in front of Ling Tianya?”


    “That’s right. At first everyone was ming Ling Tianya for being a bully, but then Ling Tianya yed the video where Ling Yuqing and her mother were plotting against her.”


    “Definitely. I knew Ling Yuqing was not that simple back when we were in school. I bet Ling Tianya was also tricked back then by Ling Yuqing, and ended up ousted by everyone...”


    People started to chime in with the gossip, but Ling Tianya ignored them all and sat down next to Xin Xin. In the meantime, Ling Yuqing had an unpleasant expression on her face. She was obviously affected by the fact many people witnessed the incident where she tried to set up Ling Tianya, even though Ling Tao didn’t find out and seemed to side with her in the end.


    She felt that those ssmates who were fawning over her before had started to look at her weird. “As a step-daughter who got kicked out of the Ling Family, how are you still so arrogant?”


    Ling Yuqing’s face twitched and she wanted to leave the party right at that moment, but she remembered the n she was about to carry out. For that, she forced herself to swallow her pride.


    Ling Yuqing brightened up and walked over toward Ling Tianya submissively. “Sister, you are here! Why didn’t you tell me you wereing? People are going to think that we’re fighting.” As she spoke, Ling Yuqing sat down next to Ling Tianya and hooked her arm around hers.


    “So, you really didn’t know that I wasing?” Ling Tianya asked dispassionately as she nced back and forth between Ling Yuqing and Xin Xin.
