    When Ling Yuqing heard that Ling Tao was going to give one of the invitations to Ling Tianya, her face suddenly froze and the hand that was holding Madam Ling tightened.


    “Ouch! What’s wrong with you?” Scolded Madam Ling. Her arm was pinched by Ling Yuqing.


    Ling Yuqing let go immediately and apologized, “Sorry, Grandma. Did I hurt you? Let me massage it for you.” She proceeded to massage her arm carefully. The whole time, she was biting down her lip, holding back the jealousy and anger inside.


    Qu Wan red at Ling Yuqing. “Be patient!”


    “Tao, you want to bring Tianya? That’s good too!” Qu Wan smiled, appearing generous and understanding. “Tianya is older, and she just got back from overseas. It’s good for her to meet more people.”


    Ling Tao was pleased to see Qu Wan being so generous. He even felt a little guilty towards Qu Wan when he recalled how Ling Tianya had treated her.


    “Don’t worry, Yuqing is my daughter too. I’ll consider her future as well.”


    Qu Wan took Ling Tao’s arm with a sweet smile, “I know you care about Yuqing.” She brought him over to the couch and continued, “Have you talked about it with Tianya? Is she going to say yes? There’s still some tension between you two, I worry...”


    Hearing that, Ling Tao frowned slightly. He had not told Ling Tianya about his decision. “Yaya will say yes. She seemed okay thest time she was home for dinner.”


    Ling Tao’s heart ached when he realized he had to use the word ‘okay’ to describe the rtionship between him and his biological daughter. “Why can’t she be as gentle and sweet as Ling Yuqing?”


    “That’s good.” Qu Wan nodded, but then she spoke awkwardly, “The only thing is, Yuan Teng’s annual reception this year is special. The Ruan Family is going to announce the engagement between Mr. Ruan and Meiyi. You said it too, it’s going to be a big day for our sister and brother-inw ...”


    Sensing her hesitation, Ling Tao wanted to cut to the chase, “Whatever you want to say, just say it.”


    Taking a deep breath, Qu Wan spoke sweetly, “Tianya had a bad reputation in the past. Tomorrow is such an important day. If anyone brought up the old history, it could affect Meiyi and her parents would not be happy.” Qu Wan said those words as if she was watching out for the Ling Family.


    Lo and behold, Ling Tao’s face dimmed, and he started to reconsider his decision.


    Madam Ling was instantly displeased when she heard that Ling Tianya going to the party could affect Guan Meiyi’s engagement. “Wan is right! You can’t let that debt collector of a woman, Ling Tianya, ruin Meiyi’s big day! I’m telling you to bring Yuqing!”


    When Ling Tao was still considering the pros and cons, his mother obviously made the decision for him, so he just went along.


    Indeed, he couldn’t bring Ling Tianya. If anything happened to Guan Meyi, the rtionship between the Guans and the Lings would suffer too. He would have to wait for another opportunity to take Ling Tianya to an event like that...


    “Okay, I’m bringing Yuqing tomorrow.” Ling Tao said affirmingly.


    In a few minutes, Qu Wan was able to talk Ling Tao into changing his mind. Ling Yuqing looked at her mother, and they smiled at each other in acknowledgement.


    “Ling Tianya, you’re dreaming if you want to climb over our heads!”
