Ling Tianyas words, at first impression, may have seemed to be completely unrelated to the situation six years ago, but give it a bit more thought and you would think that something was wrong.
The Li family gave Ling Tianya a dowry of ten million dollars back then, and Qu Wans ex-husband, Huang Dawei, also had a ten million dollar debt. Could there be something between these two situations?
As they pondered over it, they couldnt help glancing over at Qu Wan.
Ling Tianya, what do you mean? Seeing everyones gaze on her, Qu Wan panicked.
Its exactly what you think I mean, aunt Qu. Ling Tianyas eyes clouded over with scorn.
What? Youre saying that I took the ten million dollars and gave it to Huang Dawei? Qu Wan could cry on command, just as she finished explaining, her eyes started to tear up. She turned to Ling Tao, Tao, I didnt, I have no idea what Tianyas saying... ...
Qu Wans plead hardened Ling Tao instead, after all, he is still wary of Huang Dawei.
Ling Taos att.i.tude change made Ling Yuqing worry inside. Her biological fathers name, Huang Dawei, had barely been mentioned in the Ling family, Qu Wan and her would never bring him up either. They didnt want the Lings to draw a line between themselves, and they didnt want to remind the Lings that she wasnt a biological daughter of Ling blood.
That day, not only did Ling Tianya bring up the name, she even suggested that Qu Wan had given Huang Dawei money. She clearly wanted them to be questioned by the Ling family.
Just as Ling Yuqing fretted, Qu Wans weak wails started again, Back then Yaya thought I had sent Tianxin away, and rushed home in anger. She caused me to lose the son that I had been pregnant with for months. He would have been the Ling familys only son, he hadnt come out to see the world, before he was gone. I was at deaths door in the hospital... ... Tao, do you want what happened back then to repeat again?
Qu Wans tears started to fall freely, her face aged, yet graceful, evoking a deep sense of pity for the woman. See her, Ling Tao couldnt help but remember losing his unborn son, his heart clenched tightly in pain.
Remembering that Ling Tianya was the one that had caused that to happen, his small seed of doubt towards Qu Wan was forgotten easily. Ling Tianya, stop this! I thought you would have grown since the last time I saw you, but youre just the same! Im disappointed in you!
Ling Taos change in att.i.tude pleased Qu Wan, but even before it could really sink in, she was shocked again by Ling Tianyas next sentence.
What if I have all of Huang Daweis bank transaction records? Ling Tianyas eyes were smiling, and she toyed with the bag in her hands, displaying nothing but ease.
Qu Wans stomach fell at Ling Tianyas words, Youre lying! Its impossible! Qu Wan started to become agitated.
Aunt Qu, what are you so agitated for? Youre feeling guilty now? Ling Tianya sneered.
Ling Taos brows pinched again, turning to look at Qu Wan.
Qu Wan calmed herself down quickly, smiling, Im not, I just wanted to say, account transaction records are not something that banks would give to just anyone. Its impossible for you to have it. I was just agitated because what you have done had deeply hurt me. Do you really hate me that much, that you would spin such crude lies to besmirch me?
Qu Wans words made logical sense and thinking about the rumors surrounding Ling Tianya, it looked like they were true... Ling Tianya was definitely not a good woman!
