The same thing happened to Qu Wan, because it had been so long, it took her awhile to remember the thing Ling Tao was referring to. The second she remembered, her face turned ghostly white instantly.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Ling Tao sneered. “Remember now? This ‘good daughter’ as you say, the kind and timid daughter, worked together with Kang Yuchen to ruin my Yaya! At that time, Yaya just came back and hadn’t even visited the house for more than a few times. She barely had any interaction with your daughter. What I don’t understand is what kind of hatred made your daughter commit such a disgusting and vicious atrocity?”
Qu Wan’s heart was burning when Ling Tao kept saying “your daughter.” He must be really mad that time, because he already started to deny Ling Yuqing’s status as one of the Lings.
Ling Yuqing looked anxiously at Qu Wan. Qu Wan sat up straight then fell over towards Ling Tao, crying. “Tao, Kang Yuchen is infamously nefarious in the circle. You know that he had a thing for Yuqing for a long time, but Yuqing always ignored him. He must be vengeful and deliberately defiled our Yuqing. Yuqing is your daughter, you know her best!”
At that moment, Ling Tao didn’t want to hear anything Qu Wan was saying. Consumed by rage, it felt like his whole body was hollowed out. He pushed Qu Wan away again and his voice was cold and calm. “She is not my daughter. She is your and Huang Dawei’s daughter. I am not capable of producing such a sinister daughter, my daughter is Ling Tianya!”
It actually terrified Ling Tao to think that if Kang Yuchen didn’t stop his car, he might never know the real story. There could be a lot of things like that that had happened. He remembered that when Ling Tianya was a child, she was also outgoing, likeable, and empathetic. Since Ling Yuqing arrived, Ling Tianya had become impulsive, irritated, and overbearing. Almost like she changed into a different person, someone annoying and unlikable. He geared his anger towards Ling Tianya because of her mother’s affair, which drove a deep wedge between the father and the daughter. Ling Tao didn’t dare to think more, because he was unsure of if he knew what was real and what was just an illusion.
“Ask her to pack up and leave the Ling Family. I don’t care if she goes back to the Huang Family or finds a place outside. I don’t want to see her face in this house anymore!” Ling Tao turned around and started to leave.
Qu Wan grabbed Ling Tao’s arm and begged, “Tao, don’t do this. Yuqing has been calling you Daddy all these years. She is …”
Ling Tao looked at Qu Wan with absolute coldness. “If you plead for her again, you can go with her!”
“Tao…”
Ling Tao’s face was so adamant that Qu Wan realized she could be kicked out herself if she said one more word.
When she heard that Ling Tao was kicking her out, Ling Yuqing dropped to her knees and held on to Ling Tao’s leg. Broken gla.s.s on the floor sliced her delicate skin open. Her blood was dripping, but she didn’t care. “Daddy, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please!”
“Forgive you?” Ling Tao scoffed, “It’s not my place to forgive you, because you and I are both guilty in front of Yaya!” He pushed Ling Yuqing to the side and said, “Change your name back. Don’t call yourself a Ling or tell people that you are my daughter. Don’t try to tie yourself to the Ling Family in anyway, otherwise don’t blame me for not giving a s.h.i.+t for all these years, and –” Ling Tao turned to Qu Wan. “Don’t you give her a penny of Ling Family money, otherwise, I’ll kick you out too!”
When he finished, Ling Tao didn’t give the mother and daughter any chance to protest and walked straight out of the house.
A moment later, a servant came in and said to Qu Wan, “The President said that he will not come back to the house until Miss Yuqing is gone. If she doesn’t leave, the President will sell this house and buy a new one, and Madam you are not welcome there…”
The servant didn’t finish the sentence because the look in Qu Wan’s eyes scared her. She shut her mouth and ran out of the room.
“Mom, what am I going to do? What am I …” Ling Yuqing started bawling. That time Ling Tao was serious.
Qu Wan dug her hands into the couch so hard that her fingertips turned white. Her entire mind was covered in a thick fog of hatred.
