Chapter 240 Mutually Respecting Relationship

No one on site had actually thought Ruan Guofu would get violent. Not even Madam Ruan thought that the third son would actually hit someone right in front of her. Her already dark face became more upset.

"If you're going to hit someone, go home! Don't embarrass yourself here!" There was no emotion in Madam Ruan's voice, only disgust.

Ling Tianya had never heard Madam Ruan speak in such a manner to anyone. Her impression of Madam Ruan had always been a happy, bubbly, jovial person who loved to tease and play jokes. She was someone overflowing with positivity.

Ruan Guofu shuddered, it seemed like the old woman really was angry. Ruan Guofu didn't really know what to do; he shot a pleading look at Ruan Guosheng. Ruan Guosheng was his elder brother from the same mother.

Ruan Guosheng met Ruan Guofu's pleading eyes, and he contemplated helping for a moment, before addressing the old lady. "Mom, today's your birthday dinner, don't be angry over such a small matter and work yourself up, brother and Zeyan would be worried. Besides, today's dinner was prepared specially by brother and sister-in-law just to gather everyone together and have a great time, so why not put this aside?"

At the mention of her own son and grandson, she seemed to ease up a little. When she turned to look at the room full of people there to celebrate her birthday with her, she did find it a little inappropriate to explode in anger.

Ruan Qishan was angry at the entire situation with the qipao at first, but he was more concerned about his mother's health, so he agreed with Ruan Guosheng's words. "Mom, Guosheng is right, it's not worth getting all worked up over such a tiny issue. If you really don't like the qipao, you can just burn it."

Madam Ruan was lost in thought.

Wang Yazhi walked to Madam Ruan's side, smiling genuinely. "That's right, Mom, it's just a qipao. If you don't like it, burn it. I don't think sister-in-law did it on purpose, she and Lijia arrived here really early, and helped me a lot as well. They were so filial, so don't be angry with them."

Ruan Qishan and Ruan Guosheng's words were easy on the ears, but the moment Wang Yazhi came over, her brows furrowed again. She looked at Wang Yazhi, innocent and naive. She shook her head and thought to herself, "What a silly woman, they came early to look good, not because they care about me!"

Madam Ruan no longer held much hope for her daughter-in-law. She didn't have a single doubting or skeptical bone in her body. She turned to Ling Tianya, who was standing by Ruan Zeyan side. She put her hand out to beckon Ling Tianya to come to her side instead. "Lass, come over."

What was Madam Ruan looking at Ling Tianya for?

Ruan Zeyan loosed his grip on Ling Tianya's hands, softly reminding, "Granny's asking for you."

Ling Tianya obediently walked to Madam Ruan's side, sweetly calling out, "Granny."

Madam Ruan smiled warmly at Ling Tianya, and that surprised everyone on site.

Ruan Guofu pleaded with Madam Ruan for so long, and even got violent with his own wife, and Madam Ruan didn't even budge. Even Ruan Qishan and Ruan Guosheng's words merely smoothened out her anger a little.

Ling Tianya merely called out "Granny", and Madam Ruan smiled!

Even Ruan Qishan didn't know that Ling Tianya possessed so much power and was surprised at that information.

Madam Ruan held onto Ling Tianya's hands, guiding her to sit by her side, before pointing at the third son's wife. "You, bring the qipao over!"

Mrs. Ruan skittered over with the qipao immediately.

The old lady took the qipao, placing it on Ling Tianya's lap. "This qipao angers me, but it is a pity to just burn it. I'm giving it to you now, you have to be happy and peaceful with my eldest grandson, fly into the heavens just like these phoenixes. Respect each other and live long, long lives together!"

Madam Ruan's voice was loud and clear, definitive and decisive. Everyone in the room could hear it. Just like a tower's bell, it rang in everyone's heart.
