Chapter 322: Suddenly Recalled

At Ling Tianya’s sigh, Ruan Zeyan’s brows furrowed on instinct. “What is it?”

Ling Tianya fiddled with the man’s big hands. “Just suddenly thought of someone.”

“Who?”

“My grandmother.”

Watching as Madame Ling rushed to be there during Guan Meiyi’s wedding, crying as they fell into a hug, Ling Tianya felt a tugging in her heart.

“I’ve never heard you speak of her,” Ruan Zeyan prompted lightly.

All of these years, Ling Tianya rarely brought up up her grandmother. That was because ever since her mother, Yu Meizi, had eloped with someone else, the Ling family and Yu family had basically become mortal enemies and ended all their relationships.

Ling Tianya was still really young then, and Ling Tao had made the executive decision to break off all her contact with the Yu family too. She could vaguely remember a few instances when her grandmother had brought her aunt to the Ling family, asking to meet her, wanting to know how she had been living, wanting to bring her away. But all these requests were rejected by a fuming Ling Tao and were regarded with harsh and horrid words from Madame Ling.

Back then, Ling Tianya had cuddled with Ling Tianxin, hiding on the second story’s staircase. They could see their sobbing grandmother and their angry aunt.

Their grandmother had spotted them too, crying as she pleaded for them to come down. The moment she showed any signs of even a twitch, she was roared at by Madame Ling, demanding her to get back into her room.

Maybe it was the fact that she was afraid of the arguments between adults, but the young Ling Tianya didn’t have the courage to walk downstairs but instead turned to return to her own room.

Even today, she could remember the heartbreak in her grandma’s voice as she begged her to come back, and those murky eyes of hers swimming with tears.

Back in her room, she had cuddled Ling Tianxin as she cried and cried. Back then, she had no idea what she was crying for either. Maybe for herself, maybe for her grandmother.

From then on, she had never seen her grandmother ever again. After so long, she didn’t even know whether she was still alive and well or if she was living an okay life at all.

Just like that, Ling Tianya nestled herself into Ruan Zeyan’s lap, silently weeping as she recalled her memories of her grandmother.

“Watching my grandmother hug Guan Meiyi in tears reminded me of how my other grandmother had been crying for me below my room. Ruan Zeyan, I want to look for her, I want to invite her to our wedding. I really do miss her.”

Young Ling Tianya didn’t have any rights or autonomy, but as she grew up she was thrown into one adversity after another. After she had come back to China, she was so busy exacting revenge an with her career, that she had forgotten about this very important person in her life. The most painful wave of regret and memory washed over her, clutching so tightly at her heart that she had to fight for her next breath.

This was the first time since meeting Ling Tianya that Ruan Zeyan had seen her so vulnerable, crying like a child that had done something wrong. He gently wiped her tears away for her. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Surprised, Ling Tianya shook her head. “You have so many important things to do. I’ll go myself.”

Ruan Zeyan fell into thought. There were many difficult situations he had to take care pf these days. The situation in Country E wasn’t going too well either, and he’d been neglecting it for some time since he had followed Ling Tianya to country A, so he had been planning to drop by and do some restructuring.

“Alright, then bring Big Guy and Small Guy with you.”

“Okay.”

Since Ling Tianya had already decided, she didn’t want to delay it any longer. She gave Zhang Heng a head’s up to let the crew know and got ready to leave the next day.

The moment Big Guy had received the news, he got ready immediately, too.

But Small Guy resisted these orders and held onto his grudge. He’d had enough of Ling Tianya. Couldn’t she just stay in one spot? Why did she have to go looking for her long lost relatives for no good reason?
