Chapter 121: Dignity and Arrogance (1)

Ruan Qishan’s study was on the first floor, very close to the living room. When Ruan Zeyan walked in, he was checking something on the computer.

“Dad.” Ruan Zeyan stopped in front of the large desk and looked at Ruan Qishan indifferently.

Ruan Qishan did not respond immediately. Instead, he finished reading what was on the computer screen: “Award-winning screenwriter TY: relying on looks, she used plagiarism and a ghost writer.” What he was reading was the most recent news about Ling Tianya. After a full day of marination on the Internet, it had been blown out of proportion with no hold backs.

Ruan Qishan’s face was full of disdain for Ling Tianya. “She definitely has a pretty face, enough for her to make money off it.”

“The things on the Internet are not credible.” Ruan Zeyan answered with no emotion in his voice.

“What is credible then?” Ruan Qishan suddenly glared at Ruan Zeyan. “This evening, because of that woman, I…! How much humiliation did you bring to the Ruan Family? I’m telling you that investigating that woman was a breeze. With that family background and infamous reputation, does she really think she can join the Ruan family?”

In a short period of time, Ruan Qishan already had people check out everything about Ling Tianya before she left the country, including her mother’s derailment, her engagement with Li Chenfeng, and her infamous reputation from six years ago.

Ruan Zeyan looked at his father and smiled subtly, “Dad, are you sure that you have checked thoroughly? Did you miss anything? For example, who was her first boyfriend?”

“What did you say?” Ruan Qishan frowned. That information was not shown in the files.

“It was me.” Ruan Zeyan looked at Ruan Qishan resolvedly. ” Six years ago, the woman that I protected was Ling Tianya.”

Ruan Qishan froze briefly. He did not expect that the woman who caused the big fall out between his son and his family six years ago was actually Ling Tianya!

That expression on his father’s face made Ruan Zeyan chuckle. “Dad, six years ago, I was willing to break away from the family for her. Do you think I won’t do it again six years later?”

Ruan Qishan’s face completely froze. “Are you threatening me?”

Things had changed. The Yuan Teng Group could function without the inexperienced Ruan Zeyan six years ago, but in the present the company couldn’t afford to lose him.

Ruan Qishan pointed his finger at Ruan Zeyan in disbelief. “You are actually threatening me for a woman?”

“I am not threatening you. I just want you to accept her.”

“Impossible! Such a woman is not worthy of our family name!”

Speaking of that, Ruan Zeyan seemed slightly disappointed. “Only if she cares about our family name.”

“What do you mean?” Ruan Qishan raised his eyebrows and snorted “She is unwilling? It’s just a cheap trick of women. This proves that her mind is not that simple!”

“Dad, let’s not argue about this. I just want to tell you that I won’t marry anyone except Ling Tianya.”

The battle between the father and son ended in the insuppressible anger of Ruan Qishan.

The next day, Ling Tianya showed up at the studio early as usual, unaffected by what had happened the day before. She found that the crew seemed very different. Everyone gave her warm greetings, and people who had rarely spoken to her before couldn’t wait to cozy up to her.

Previously, it was common knowledge among the crew that Ling Tianya was not particularly liked by Ruan Zeyan, and that Guan Meiyi was the presumed daughter-in-law of the Ruan Family. Therefore, outside of work, people didn’t get close to Ling Tianya, especially after the scandal about her broke out on the Internet. The only people who were nice towards Ling Tianya were Zhang Heng, Zhang Ke, and the security guards.

Meanwhile, Zhang Heng was enraged by the fact that Guan Meiyi refused to film that day because she didn’t feel good. He was trying to make a TV show here; first, the male lead couldn’t come, and now the female lead couldn’t come either? What was he going to do then?

Ling Tianya was aware that Zhang Heng was quite angry, and she felt somewhat responsible. To give him some space she went to work on the scripts in the lounge.

Unexpectedly, she found that Ling Yuqing actually showed up with a slightly swollen face. “You came today!”

Ling Yuqing blinked her eyes. “What? Sister Tianya thought that I would not come today? I told you I really want to study with you.”
