In the crew’s lounge, Ling Tianya was cleaning up, in preparation to head back to the Ling family mansion. Zhang Ke carefully stood before her, looking at the script that Ling Tianya had carelessly thrown on the table. She thought for a moment, before asking, “Miss Ling, have you finished reading the script I wrote?”

Ling Tianya replied without even lifting her head, while she was packing up, “Yes.”

Zhang Ke was taken aback, “I only gave it to you this morning, you finished it so quickly?”

Usually, Ling Tianya was especially quick when she was reading material that she had absolutely no interest in.

“Then, Miss Ling, what do you think?”

Ling Tianya and finally finished packing, and she raised her head to look at Zhang Ke properly, her face serious, “Zhang Ke, how many years have you been with me?”

“Five years...” Zhang Ke weakly answered.

“Five years, and you show me something like this?”

“Miss Ling...” Zhang Ke’s eyes immediately teared up, “I tried my best.”

“If this quality of work is what you produced at your best, then I really have to reevaluate your capabilities.” Finishing, Ling Tianya picked up her bag and headed towards the door. Just as she reached it, she looked at Ling Yuqing who was sitting by the side, “I’m heading home, you coming with?”

Ling Yuqing shook her head, “No, I’m staying behind to learn from Zhang Ke.”

Ling Tianya studied Ling Yuqing for a few long moments, but she didn’t say anything before leaving the lounge, not even sparing another look for Zhang Ke.

It was only when Ling Tianya had completely left the room, that Zhang Ke allowed her tears to fall.

Seeing that, Ling Yuqing rushed forward, gently coaxing her, “Don’t cry, Sis is way too much. After all, you’ve been helping her for so long, and yet she didn’t save you any face.”

With Ling Yuqing’s words, Zhang Ke cried even harder, grasping onto the script that she had rushed out all night and all day, choking, “I really did try my best. For so many years I’ve been following Miss Ling, working hard at completing everything, I just wanted to make it, wanted my own work to get onto the big screens. Today Miss Ling said that, what should I do? Will Miss Ling really abandon me? She’s never said that about me before...”

Ling Yuqing sensibly guided Zhang Ke to sit down. “Sis really shouldn’t have said that about you. You’ve been so busy helping her all these years, after you came back, you’re the one taking care of all these small details and work too. I’ve only been here for a few days, and you’re always busy every single moment. Even I feel bad for you seeing that.”

Ling Yuqing looked at the time, estimating that at that certain point in time, Ling Tao definitely called Ling Tianya back in order to give her a good dressing down. Granny was absolutely livid, she definitely would now let Ling Tianya go so easily. Even though it was a bit of a pity that she would not be there to experience it herself, there was something more important that she should be do. “How about this? Since we have nothing much else to do today, and Tianya sis is not around either, why don’t we go out for shopping and coffee? It will help take your mind off of it too.”

Zhang Ke looked at the script in her hands, and Ling Tianya’s messy lounge before nodding at Ling Yuqing’s suggestion.

In the Ling mansion.

“She said that she would wait a year for me, but less than a year later, I received news about her engagement. By the time I rushed back, she’d already gone missing.” Ruan Zeyan calmly recounted what happened back then but left out the detail about the Guan family and Ling family blackmailing Ling Tianya to marry Li Chenfeng using Ling Tianxin, pretending that he still had no idea about the situation.

Ruan Zeyan knew that when he chose to hide certain facts, he could let Ling Tao understand better. The impact to some people would be bigger, and they would treat Ling Tianya better in order to hide this information.

Ling Tao’s face had already started to resemble a small downpour, and it put even more pressure on his poor heart hearing what Ruan Zeyan said.

So, the great Yuan Teng Corporation’s CEO was actually Ling Tianya’s first love, if not for him helping Ling Qi to force Ling Tianya to marry Li Chenfeng, maybe Ling Tianya really would have waited for Ruan Zeyan for a year, and just maybe, he would have become Ruan Zeyan’s father-in-law a whole six years ago.

Thinking about the fact that, for these six years, the Ling family had to bow to the Guan’s, and how much Ling Tao had to bear with in order to pacify Guan Jianlin, Ling Tao’s heart itched with pain.

Madam Ling and Qu Wan didn’t expect the situation to turn out like that either, and seeing what Ruan Zeyan had done that day, Madam Ling immediately understood that the whole fiasco the day before was Ruan Zeyan’s show for the Guan family and Ling family. It was a warning!

It seemed that it would be impossible for Ruan Zeyan to marry Guan Meiyi. They had originally wanted Guan Meiyi to marry Ruan Zeyan, so the Ling family could make use of that relationship to get closer to the Ruan family and improve their family’s situation.

Who knew that they could actually have a direct connection with the Ruan’s instead of having to be at the mercy of another family? Madam Ling was naturally happy about the situation, but when she remembered that the person getting married to Ruan Zeyan was Ling Tianya, she couldn’t bring herself to be entirely comfortable with the situation. That granddaughter of hers, she’d never been civil to her from the start. She wasn’t even as close to Ling Tianya as compared to the “outsider”, Ling Yuqing. If she was to really marry Ruan Zeyan in the future, would Ling Tianya still treat her well?
