“iyi, do you need to provide so evidence?” Ling Tianya watched Guan iyi’s calm face, and she marvelled internally at Guan iyi’s emotional strength, at least she didn’t show any signs of being uncomfortable.
It was also another form of high-leveled shalessness... ...
“What evidence, why would we need evidence?!” Madam Ling finally voiced her opinion. She didn’t really care about it, she just didn’t like Ling Tianya, and she definitely couldn’t tolerate Ling Tianya accusing her precious grandchild of lying! “This jade Buddha was what I told iyi I wanted, and iyi spent a fortune to buy it for !”
Anyone worth their salt could see that the jade Buddha, no matter it’s origin or its grade, was of the best quality and was priced accordingly too. It was not sothing that just anyone could buy, so when it boiled down to it, there was a higher chance that Guan iyi was actually the one that bought it.
This sparked a discussion. Ling Tianya didn’t have a good reputation, and the mont she ca back, she started to throw her own cousin under the bus. It was quite disgusting.
Ling Tao’s expression beca conflicted as well, “Yaya, must you make such a scene the mont you co back? Don’t forget what day today is.”
Ling Tao’s change in attitude did let Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing enjoy a brief respite.
Yes! That’s how it should be! Just keep up your act Ling Tianya, it won’t last!
Ling Tianya didn’t pay anyone else any attention, he only focused her attention on Guan iyi, “So? You haven’t answered yet, do you need proof?”
Guan iyi t Ling Tianya’s line of sight, she realized that Ling Tianya was so different from six years ago. Especially her smiling eyes, they made Guan iyi realize that she couldn’t read her at all.
That realization unsettled Guan iyi a little.
Just as everyone was murmuring, Guan iyi finally opened her golden mouth, “Grandma definitely did tell that she wanted this jade statue, and I also did send soone to participate in the auction overseas!”
Guan iyi’s voice was confident and firm, a breath of fresh air for everyone.
“See, iyi did buy it, Ling Tianya is just a filthy liar!”
“Don’t forget, she was the once that swindled Li family’s dowry!”
Guan iyi’s words had caused yet another flurry of comnts within the guests. Under Mrs. Gao’s influence, they started to badmouth Ling Tianya again.
Faced with such comnts, it was as though Ling Tianya didn’t hear them at all. There was no change in her facial features, she rely continued to look at Guan iyi.
Right then, Guan iyi spoke again. “But, the people that I had sent were late. When they arrived the jade statue had already been bought by soone else.”
What?!
What a plot twist, so the jade statue really wasn’t bought by Guan iyi!
Ling Qi’s first reaction when she heard this was to gape at her daughter, and even Madam Ling’s face was full of confusion.
“I did tell Mrs. Ruan about this, and she promised that she would take a look out for . So, when the jade Buddha was sent here, I thought that the Ruan family had bought it.” Guan iyi didn’t act fluster at all, continuing with her explanation.
The first few sentences were just accompanints. Guan iyi’s real intentions were hidden in the last sentence.
She brought up the Ruan family, putting pressure on everyone else in the room, daring them to comnt anything negative about her.
Of course, once the Ruan family was brought up, everyone went back to normal, even Ling Qi’s eyes brightened in glee. “I see, so it’s been a misunderstanding...”
Ling Tianya smiled, watching everyone and their hilarious acts, marvelling at their colourful facial expressions.
“Even if so, we can’t be sure that you bought this jade statue, Ling Tianya. This statue was not going for cheap in the auction...” Guan iyi’s hesitated to say more, what she wanted to convey was already said.
Ling Tianya narrowed her eyes, Guan iyi certainly has so brains.
After Guan iyi’s reminder, everyone realized a vital question. Ling Tianya said that the statue was bought by her, but where did she get the money to do so?
Madam Ling glared at Ling Tianya, angry at her for ruining her birthday dinner, “Speak! What were you doing the past six years? Where did you get that money?!”
Just then, a sharp voice echoed through the main hall, “Where else? It’s my family’s money!”
Everyone swivelled to face the new voice, only to see Li Chenfeng and his mother, Zhang Li, who arrived at the hall.
