Chapter 246: An All-arounder

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ever since the old man’s death, Madam Ruan rarely brought him up. Since she didn’t talk about him, neither did anyone else for fear of angering her.

Madam Ruan initiated the conversation, and that was only when everyone knew that this was why Madam Ruan had loved wearing qipaos.

Just because of a compliment from her husband, Madam Ruan wore qipao for the rest of her life. Madam Ruan was the extreme embodiment of the phrase, “You do anything to please the person that you love”.

If not for Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu’s mother’s appearance, they would have been a happy pair.

Rumor had it that the second wife had climbed into Mr. Ruan’s bed using underhanded means. They were just rumors though. As to what really happened back then, only Old Mr. Ruan, Madam Ruan, and the second wife knew.

A hush of silence rushed through the room. The eyes looking at Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu became accusatory.

Feeling the tense glances from others, Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu’s faces fell.

Madam Ruan waved her hands at Ling Tianya. “Young lass, bring the qipao closer.”

Ling Tianya obediently brought the qipao to Madam Ruan, and Madam Ruan reached out her hand, lightly caressing it as though it was the most valuable treasure.

“The original one I had was ruined in an accident, and it was a regret I always had. It’s great to be able to see it again!” Madam Ruan raised her teary eyes, looked towards Ling Tianya appreciatively. “How did you know about this qipao?”

“When Zeyan brought me back to your home to pay respects to the elders, I saw a picture of you and grandpa when you were younger hanging on the living room’s wall. In the photo, you were wearing a qipao just like this, and smiling exceptionally beautifully. The pictures were all in black and white, and I couldn’t determine the exact color of qipao.”

Ling Tianya smiled as she continued, “Right then, I recalled that Madam Liang had a qipao that she sent for the exhibition that was a plain color with a lotus flower design, so I wanted to try it out. Even if the color was different, I hoped at least the design was the same. As long as you are be happy, granny.” Speaking of that, Ling Tianya lowered her eyes in guilt. “But, I seem to have done something wrong, and made you cry instead...”

Madam Ruan quickly pulled Ling Tianya to sit by her side, holding her in her embrace. “You did nothing wrong, nothing wrong! Granny is happy, these are happy tears. You helped me patch up the regret that I’ve had in my heart and brought my qipao back to me!”

Madam Ruan’s words touched Ling Tianya. She really loved Mr. Ruan and had loved him for all her life. “Granny, as long as you’re happy.”

The entire gift-giving process ended in Madam Ruan’s happy tears, and after Ling Tianya’s meaningful present, the rest of the gifts really did not hold much meaning in Madam Ruan’s eyes.

Third Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Lijia didn’t create any more trouble, all of their efforts were sabotaged anyway. Not only had they offended Madam Ruan but they had also offended Ruan Zeyan because of how they had picked on Ling Tianya.

Ling Tianya still got all the spotlight. The thing that they didn’t expect the most was that Madam Liang was actually best friends with her and let her get her hands on a meaningful qipao made by Madam Liang’s own hands.

Even Wang Yazhi, who held reservations about Ling Tianya, gave a relieved smile.

Ling Tianya had set a stable foothold in the Ruan family after that.

Seeing all the socialites rush to introduce themselves to Ling Tianya, Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Lijia were frustrated.

They were running around the whole day, but all they had done was brighten Ling Tianya’s halo. They even looked bad in exchange!

On the balcony, Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu were enjoying their drinks in the wind. Ruan Guosheng glowered at Ling Tianya, who was going through the party like a fish in water, darkly muttering, “That woman’s not simple, not like someone from a small family at all. She’s even better at social events than Guan Meiyi. She’s an absolute all-arounder.”
