Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive

Chapter 243 - Caught Off Guard



Maybe it was because Madam Ruan gave Ling Tianya such a special treatment that everyone seemed to be waiting to see her fall.

Third Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Lijia couldn’t hide their expectations, eyes fixated on the box in Ling Tianya’s hand and minds already rehearsing the words they were going to use to humiliate Ling Tianya.

Ling Tianya calmed and took in the looks people were giving her. She didn’t seem to be bothered the slightest. She kept smiling and holding the qi pao box at the level of the old lady’s chin. Then she opened the box slowly while everyone watched her with great curiosity and expectation.

“Grandma, this is a small gift from me, and I hope you like it.”

The second the box was opened, almost everyone was staring into the box at the qi pao inside. Then the next second, waves of laughter followed.

As a birthday gift for the old lady, everyone thought that Ling Tianya would at least find something a little classier, even when she couldn’t afford a pricey qi pao like the Phoenix Ascend. After all, her family was running a business and she was a famous screen writer herself, so she should have some money.

When she opened that box, all everyone saw was a plain-colored qi pao with a few simple lilies and two dragonflies sewed on it.

The moment Madam Ruan saw the qi pao, her eyes focused sharply, and her expression became complicated.

The dining hall fell into extraordinary silence once again, and Ling Tianya could feel everybody’s eyes on her and the qipao in her hands.

“Ling Tianya! Is this the qi pao you’re giving Big Grandma?” Ruan Lijia’s high-pitched syrupy voice sounded. “Did you get it off the street? Did you find a box from Madam Liang’s qi pao store and pretended it to be the good stuff?”

“Sure enough, a woman from an insignificant family can never be classy, no matter how glamorous she looked on the outside!” Third Mrs. Ruan finally found the opportunity for revenge and her remarks became increasingly aggressive. “What a disgrace! Do you seriously think you deserve to be the future first lady of the Ruan Family?”

“If she doesn’t deserve it, do you deserve it, Third Mrs. Ruan?” The sound of Ruan Zeyan’s voice made the air of the whole room freeze.

Stunned, Ruan Guofu looked up at Ruan Zeyan and was met with that pair of deep and accusatory eyes. Ruan Guofu became immediately disturbed and quickly shifted his gaze to avoid those eyes that could freeze people to death.

Third Mrs. Ruan quivered and said with a switching mouth, “Zeyan, you know I didn’t mean it like that. I was just feeling sorry for you.”

“Huh, then I should thank you Third Auntie.” The voice of Ruan Zeyan was full of sarcasm, turning the face of Third Mrs. Ruan from white to red.

Nobody had high hopes for the gift that Ling Tianya was giving the old lady as they watched with curiosity as bystanders. Then Ling Tianya really made it worth their curiosity and anticipation, surprising them with something even tackier than they had thought.

There was a saying “Poverty limits imagination”, but there, it should be changed to “Wealth limits imagination”.

Wang Yazhi had just started to improve her impression of Ling Tianya, but she fell apart like that so soon. With a stern look, Wang Yazhi said unhappily, “Take this thing away!”

Ling Tianya looked at Wang Yazhi and asked confusedly, “Why are you taking it way?”

Wang Yazhi didn’t know how to respond and looked at Ruan Qishan furiously. “This is the woman that you said had a brain? She is dumber than me!”

At that moment, Madam Ruan, who was quiet with a complicated expression the whole time, burst into tears. Everybody there was caught off guard by the sudden development.
