Patriarch of Ling family
Ling Muchen rubbed his forehead and stretched the wrinkles on his face. Although having a longer conversation time with his daughter elated his mood, it was too tiring to speak with her.
His wife beside him, watched his exhaustion with smiles all over her face, probably making fun of him for his behavior.
The whole conversation was unveiled in front of her and the scene of Ling Qingyu's berating her husband brought smiles to her face.
She never blamed Ling Qingyu for her rude replies. Her husband failed to meet the expectations of both the mother and daughter when he submitted to the family pressure.
Ling Muchen and his wife, Yang Xuying, were married because of a deal between families so that the two parties could cooperate for benefits and future interests.
Yang Xuying was initially disappointed with Ling Muchen's deeds of divorcing his first wife or separation because they were together in the first place and she was the interruptor.
