<h4>Chapter 1078: This is a Battle of Wits and Bravery (7)</h4>


    Grandmother inw’s elder sister’s daughter inw had the surname Huang and was named Huang Ying. The woman seemed to have an insipid personality. When Ling Tianya acknowledged her, she simply nodded at Ling Tianya and then looked away.


    Afterward, there was only the woman who was close to Ling Tianya’s age left to introduce. That woman was of the younger generation and therefore, she didn’t have the right to be introduced. Nor was there any reason for Madame Ruan to introduce her. Therefore, the woman stood up and reached out her hand toward Ling Tianya. “Hello, my name is Xu Cheng. I’m older than you and therefore, you can refer to me as cousin.”


    Xu Cheng was Huang Ying’s daughter and seemed to have inherited her mother’s cold personality. Her words were clear and direct and were full of dislike toward Ling Tianya.


    Ling Tianya didn’t understand. This was her first time meeting them, and she hadn’t yet said nor done anything, so why had these three people already decided they didn’t like her?


    Despite this, Ling Tianya still respectfully said to Xu Cheng, “Cousin.”


    Grandmother inw’s elder sister once again spoke. “Based on custom, as the elder, I should have prepared a gift for our first meeting. However, right now, the time isn’t right. Plus, you’ve already given birth, so you’re no longer considered a new wife. We’ll skip the gift.”


    Ling Tianya didn’t care about receiving a gift, but Grandmother inw’s elder sister’s words made it clear that she was making an excuse. Ling Tianya could only politely nod her head. “I still need to thank Grandmother inw’s elder sister.”


    Upon seeing that Ling Tianya was very polite, Liao Feifei nodded, satisfied. Then, her eyes swept toward Wang Yazhi, and she said to Madame Ruan, “Cuicui, your granddaughter inw is much more transparent than your daughter inw. At the very least, her mouth is sweet enough, and she is obedient. That can be counted as a strong point.”


    Madame Ruan nodded. “Yes, I also really like the Ling girl.”


    Wang Yazhi bit her lip. She could not stay here anymore, and she quickly stood up and said to Madame Ruan. “Mom, my ear suddenly started hurting. I’m going to go and rest for a while.”


    Madame Ruan sighed, and she nodded. She did not look pleased. “You can go.”


    Upon receiving Madame Ruan’s approval, Wang Yazhi turned around and immediately left. Ling Tianya could see that her eyes were red.


    She looked at the silent and cold Ruan Zeyan, a little worried about Wang Yazhi.


    Grandmother inw’s elder sister’s eyesnded on Ruan Zeyan. Her eyes were full of shock as well as a concentrated unwillingness.


    Huang Ying and Cu Cheng both looked at Ruan Zeyan as well. The shock in their eyes was simr to Grandmother inw’s elder sister’s expression.


    Grandmother inw’s elder sister sighed regretfully. “Ai, thest time I saw Zeyan, he was still in school. At that time, he was very handsome. Now, it seems that his good looks have not lowered and have be even more imposing and charming.” As she spoke, Grandmother inw’s elder sister looked toward Madame Ruan. “Cuicui ah, your grandson sure is fine. However, it’s a pity...”


    A pity?


    Ling Tianya didn’t understand. She really didn’t understand what Grandmother inw’s elder sister meant by a pity. Ever since she had walked through the door, Ling Tianya had felt that Grandmother inw’s elder sister and the other two were extremely arrogant and disliked the Ruan Family. This was something that Ling Tianya puzzled over.


    “Grandmother inw’s elder sister, what do you mean by a pity?”


    Upon hearing Ling Tianya’s words, Grandmother inw’s elder sister red at her. It was clear that she didn’t like the fact that Ling Tianya was getting into the conversation. However, she still said, “What is a pity? It’s a pity that he was born into this repulsive household!”


    Ling Tianya was lost for words.
