Madam Lings birthday dinner had finally ended in a mess, and other than the first few moments, Madam Ling had never smiled throughout the dinner.

Talk about an unforgettable eightieth birthday.

At that moment, in the empty Ling mansions living room, Ling Tianyas gift, the Jade Buddha is still standing there. She didnt know what to feel when looking at the statue.

Ling Taos face had dropped as he walked in, Madam Ling looked at him out of the corner of her eye. That disgusting girl is gone?

Ling Tao was startled, before his face fell even more, Mom, Yaya is my daughter, besides wasnt the issue about the Li familys dowry explained clearly? It wasnt even done by Yaya...

Ha! I dont care, that girl is a disgrace! It was my birthday dinner, if not for her, none of those things would have happened! Now, we are dinner table gossip again!

Ling Tao pursed his lips, keeping silent. Earlier on, Ling Tianya was adamant on leaving, she didnt want to stay in the Ling mansion. When she was talking to him, even though she was all smiles, Ling Tao could see that his daughter was still internally blaming him for all that happened.

Madam Ling glared at Ling Tao. The moment she turned back, she saw Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing who were standing stock still by the side. After what happened earlier, Madam Ling definitely started to dislike the two of them more and more. Disgusting things! Ling Tao, dont let me see them again! How shameful!

At Madam Lings words, Ling Yuqing immediately reacted. Tears were in her eyes as she pleaded with Ling Tao. Grandma! Grandma...

Get out! Im not your grandma! Your grandma is in the Huang family, this is the Ling family!

Ling Yuqing forced herself to smile, wanting to pacify Madam Ling. Who knew that she would be yelled at by her. It fl.u.s.tered her, she didnt know what to do.

Her grandma had never talked to her like that, not even when she had just arrived into the Ling family. She wasnt very nice to her back then, but at least she was just detached, and not outright harsh like she had become.

Ling Yuqing bit her lip, silently letting the tears fall. She had worked so hard to gain everyones recognition. She had worked so hard to be recognized as the true Miss Ling, but because of one Ling Tianya, it crushed her years of hard work to rubble!

Madam Ling tried to calm herself down, holding onto Miss Zhang as she helped her up the stairs.

Tao... What do we do? Qu Wan sobbed, Im sorry, I really am, I dont want to leave home, please dont leave me...

Ling Tao looked at the pitiful Qu Wan, and he couldnt bear to do it. She still had made a mistake, Why dont you and Yuqing move to a hotel for a few days? Ill stay at home and convince Mom, when Moms feeling better, then youll come back.

This was the best solution Ling Tao had on hand.

No, Tao, I wont go, this is my home! Im sorry, Ill go and apologize to Mom, Ill do whatever she wants! Qu Wans crying and pleading increased in volume, she was doing everything she could to appeal to Ling Taos sympathy.

She was the Lings familys head, if she brought her daughter to stay in a hotel, how many more people would gossip about them? .c

Its just temporary; you know how Mom is. If you and Yuqing stayed at home, you would be under fire too, why not just hide outside for a bit?

Ling Tao tried to convince her, and Qu Wan knew that no matter what she said, it would be futile. All she could do was to pack as her tears fell, leaving the house with Yuqing for a hotel.
