Chapter 827: On Cloud Nine (4)

After serving Qin and Ruan Guosheng soup, Ling Tianya walked over to Ruan Fusheng, and she quickly placed the bowl of soup in front of him.

Ruan Fusheng was still blatantly staring at her. He was watching her like a hawk. When she drew closer, he even closed his eyes and inhaled deeply in a perverted manner. Ling Tianya noticed his gesture, and she quickly frowned as she turned towards Ming Li.

Ling Tianya picked up the bowl of soup and just as she was about to quickly place it in front of Ming Li, Ming Li said, “Hold up. Hold on to the soup; I need to tidy my area.”

Ming Li’s area wasn’t messy at all, but she was taking her time as she carefully adjusted the cutlery that was already neatly placed in front of her.

Ling Tianya was holding onto the bowl and she could no longer stand the temperature. Just as she was about to put the bowl back onto the serving cart, Ming Li said to her, “Don’t put it back yet. I’ll be done in a second.”

With that, Ming Li started fiddling with the cutlery in front of her again.

Everyone seated could tell that Ming Li was messing around with Ling Tianya on purpose. She was trying to be difficult.

Qin nodded her head with satisfaction. She hadn’t expected Ming Li to treat Ling Tianya this way but she was pleased with her actions.

Second Aunt and Ruan Guosheng stared at each other but they didn’t say a word either.

When she noticed that none of the elders were criticising her, Ming Li got even more brazen. She didn’t care about what the grand plan was, but she knew that her father-in-law, Ruan Guosheng, had the entire mansion under his control. If Ruan Zeyan was really dead, like Ruan Guosheng had said, she would be the real Young Mistress of the Ruan family in the future.

She used to be envious of Ling Tianya’s privileged status, and she would be intimidated by her whenever they met.

Now, Ming Li had no fear of Ling Tianya at all. She had only hatred for this woman, especially after she noticed how Ruan Fusheng was staring at her.

Ling Tianya’s delicate fingers could no longer take the heat. She wasn’t a fool, and she knew that Ming Li was trying to make things difficult for her on purpose.

She quickly placed the bowl back onto the cart. Her fingers were already red and swollen from the high temperature.

Ling Tianya squeezed her fists as she stood there, enduring the pain.

When Ming Li saw her put the bowl of soup back, her expression turned dark and she slammed her chopsticks down onto the table. “Didn’t you hear what I said? I told you to carry the bowl!”

It wasn’t just Ruan Guosheng and Qin who had inflated egos, Second Aunt and Ming Li were getting more and more arrogant and cocky as well.

Ming Li looked at Ling Tianya vindictively. It was the first time she had ever raised her voice since she had married into the Ruan family. “It seems like you don’t really want to get the baby supplies for your son. Grandma, look at her! She is serving us terribly, and she doesn’t obey orders!”

Qin glared at Ling Tianya and said, “She doesn’t obey orders, so she ought to be taught a lesson.”

Ling Tianya squeezed her fists even tighter. She was trying her best to control her emotions. “It was too hot. If I hadn’t put it back, I would have scalded you instead.” Ling Tianya smirked. “You’re trying to pick on me, and you want me to suffer by carrying the bowl of soup for a long time. But have you considered how close I was to you? What if I hadn’t held onto the bowl carefully, and I spilt the soup on you? You would be the one suffering then instead of me.”

Ming Li was stumped by her words, and she could only glare at Ling Tianya in fuming silence.

Qin chuckled and said, “What a sharp tongue!”

Ling Tianya ignored Qin and Ming Li and quickly served her the bowl of soup before retreating to the back of the room.

Ming Li turned and saw Ruan Fusheng’s gaze following Ling Tianya. Her eyes were raging with fury now.
