Seeing Ling Tianya, Ling Tao creased his brows at the sight of her, his unhappiness evident in his voice, "Yaya, why are you here?"
Ling Tianya's mood wasn't good in the first place. When Ling Tao asked her that in such a sour tone, she shot back icily, "Why can't I be here?"
Ling Tao's face froze, before it fouled even more, his displeasure showing, "I've already decided to bring your aunt and your sister, go back home now, don't create a scene here!"
Ling Tianya hadn't wanted to come in the first place, she was forced there by Du Gang, yet she was the one creating a scene?!
"I didn't create a scene, I'm just attending a dinner, do I need your approval for that?"
Ling Tao's face pulled into one of animosity, and people were starting to gather. At that rate, the commotion would start spreading into the actual dining area.
"Go home now! Have you not embarrassed yourself enough?"
Ling Tianya's eyes glazed over with iciness, her lips twitching into a smirk, "And what if I insist on going in?"
"You!" Ling Tao's eyes widened in anger, his daughter was definitely getting more and more out of hand!
Ling Yuqing assessed the situation, and was quick to placate Ling Tao, "Daddy, don't be angry, there are so many people here!" Ling Yuqing looked to Ling Tianya then, smiling civilly, "Tianya, you are Daddy's birth daughter, if you insist on coming, we can't stop you either. It's just, Daddy had given me the invitation card, and the security guard has already taken it, you can't enter without one, why not just go back?"
Ling Tao glowered at Ling Tianya, he felt more and more that Ling Tianya was more disobedient than Ling Yuqing.
Ling Yuqing's demeanor was weirdly confident, Ling Tianya felt something was definitely up. She immediately opened her bag to check for the invitation card, and unsurprisingly, her invitation card was gone!
When she looked up again, Ling Yuqing's challenging gaze was on her.
Right then, a crowd had already gathered by the door. There are people waiting to enter, people just watching the drama unfold. Because of Ling Tianya's appearance, the tension by the door was at an all-time high.
"Miss, may I ask if you have the invitation card please?"
She did, and then she didn't. She even found it hard to believe.
The long line of people behind her was getting restless, and Ling Tao was clearly getting more and more annoyed. He really did embarrass himself to the heavens that day.
"Ling Tianya, get the hell out of here, are you deaf?!" Ling Tao's patience snapped, and he flew off the handle.
"Who is the one chasing away my guest?" Suddenly, a raspy, and yet authoritative voice came from the side.
Everyone turned their heads to look, it was an old lady wearing an exquisite Qi Pao, slowly meandering over with the help of her maid.
The security personnel were stunned, before greeting the old lady with a ram-rod straight stance. "Madam Ruan, it's you!"
It surprised everyone, the cultivated lady before them was actually the mother of the CEO of the Yuan Teng Corporation, Ruan Zeyan's grandma! The Ruan family's lady of the house!
Then they looked at Ling Tianya, she was actually the guest of the lady of the house!
Madam Ruan walked over, affectionately taking Ling Tianya's hand and glaring at Ling Tao, "Is it you? Chasing away my esteemed guest?"
"I… I…" Ling Tao was flabbergasted and even slightly lost, he could never expect that his own daughter would be Madam Ruan's guest.
Even Ling Tianya was confused, she felt that the old lady was a little familiar to the eye, but it wasn't until she gave it more thought before she realized it was the old lady that had crashed into the shop! "Granny, it's you?"
Madam Ruan chuckled at Ling Tianya, "Young lady, we certainly are fated! Come, follow me, let's see who still dares to stop you!"
Finishing, Madam Ruan pulled Ling Tianya in. With Madam Ruan being her escort, the security guards naturally did not stop her.
Ling Tao was still in a daze, Ling Yuqing's fist clenched tightly, her jealousy seething.
Qu Wan's eyes darkened with harshness as she glared at the back of Ling Tianya, who was slowly walking away.
