“Uncle… this woman is gorgeous…”
Upon hearing Liu Zhuang’s words, Old Liu and his wife also looked towards the stairwell. At this moment, Ling Tianya had already descended the stairs and stood nearby, speaking to the maid.
Old Liu’s eyes scanned Ling Tianya. “This woman is very attractive!”
Seeing her man stare at another woman didn’t sit well with Old Liu’s wife. She nudged him disapprovingly, “Do you believe that I will gouge out your eyes?”
Realizing that his wife was unhappy, Old Liu immediately stopped staring. Snickering, he explain, “I’m just helping Liu Zhuang look her over!”
Old Liu’s wife surveyed Ling Tianya with a dark stare. “Previously, I had heard from Ling Laosan that the daughter of the Ling family was attractive. However, I didn’t think that she’d be such a vixen, seducing people just by standing there.”
Evidently, Old Liu’s wife was still offended by Old Liu’s response towards Ling Tianya. “Marrying this kind of woman, wouldn’t that be like marrying a disaster?”
Hearing this, Liu Zhuang couldn’t ignore it. He anxiously pleaded with Old Liu’s wife. “Aunt, you can’t say things like that. Her beauty isn’t a sin! I don’t think this woman is bad! I have decided I want her.”
Watching Liu Zhuang’s anxious manner, Old Liu’s wife rolled her eyes. “Just look at your worthless character.”
Liu Zhuang smirked. “Also, if she and I were to actually become an item, then in the future, I wouldn’t have to return to my hometown. I’ll just live here with her. Living here would be so comfortable, with there being someone to serve you and not having to worry about food and clothes. Not only that, I would also be able to accompany sister Liu, and we can support each other.”
Everything Liu Zhuang said made sense. Old Liu’s wife could only jokingly scold, “You have quite a beautiful dream!”
At this moment, Old Liu also nodded his head. “What Liu Zhuang is saying makes sense. Fen is here by herself, and it simply won’t do for her to not have a single trusted companion by her side. If it’s really as Liu Zhuang says, then allowing them to support each other is not a bad idea.
“Right?” Seeing that Old Liu approved of his idea, Liu Zhuang’s chances of success improved.
All the while, from afar, Ling Tianya gazed at the three people speaking on the sofa. She inquired the maid by her side, “Have you notified my dad?”
The maid nodded. “I have informed him. The President is on his way and will be arriving soon.”
“And my grandma?”
“She has also been notified.”
Ling Tianya nodded her head in understanding. She had intentionally lingered in her room for the sake of buying time for Ling Tao and Madame Ling to return home.
Seeing that ever since Ling Tianya came down, she had been continuously speaking to the maid and had yet to acknowledge them, Old Liu was displeased.
The daughter of the Ling family had already made them wait a long time for her to come out of her room and now that she has finally come down, not only was she not taking the initiative to come to them, she was acting arrogant.
Old Liu was getting angrier by the second. He himself had traveled a long distance to get here. Not only that, his daughter’s status was higher than hers. Thinking this, Old Liu loudly snorted. “These youngsters are getting more and more disrespectful. We have already been here for a while now, and we have yet been offered a gla.s.s of water!”
Hearing Old Liu’s words, Ling Tianya narrowed her eyes and the corners of her mouth lifted in a smirk. She allowed the maid to bring them each a gla.s.s of plain water.
Since it’s only water you want, we’ll give it to you.
Soon, the maid brought three gla.s.ses of water to them.
Upon seeing this, Old Liu’s expression relaxed. But when he saw the three big gla.s.ses filled with water, his expression dropped further. He demanded water and they really served him water.
Obviously, they did not respect them and simply treated them like beggars. Despite everything, they were Liu Fen’s family members. At the very least, they should be ent.i.tled to flavored water.
