Chapter 718 - I Know Who You Are

“With no experience at all, all I wanted was to have a baby as soon as possible. I soon became pregnant. You were so thrilled, and you told everyone about my pregnancy. Those days were probably the happiest days of my life. Ling Tao took great care of me, and you no longer cursed me.”

“However, when I was about five months pregnant, I went to the hospital for a regular check-up, and I was told that my child was affected with deformities. I knew that it was because I had used all those folk prescriptions. But I could not live with that, and I did not want to face your endless mean curses. Also, the entire Ling family knew about my pregnancy. If I told you my child was deformed, how could I stay in the Ling family?”

“So, I did not tell a single person. I even paid off the doctor so that she would help me keep the secret, and I remained pregnant till the eighth month. The further the pregnancy progressed, the more scared I became. I knew that I could not give birth to this child here. Once you found out that I had given birth to a deformed child, I would be ruined. So, I told Ling Tao that I would stay with my mother in B City till I gave birth. At that time, Ling Corporation was about to launch. Ling Tao was way too busy to take care of me. He was also worried that Madame Ling would not take good care of me if I stayed with the Ling family. So, he said yes.”

“But I did not go back to B City. I went to S City to stay with a close friend of mine. There, I gave birth to this child by cesarean. But that child was unlucky and died soon after birth. I returned to the Ling family with a baby girl purchased by my friend. I was going to buy a boy, but one was not available at the time. I didn’t have much time, so I had to take the baby girl back. That baby is now Ling Tianya, the big missy of the Ling family!”

Yu Meizi told the story of her pregnancy and how she switched the child in an eloquent speech. As she finished. she looked at Madame Ling with irony and scoffed, “So, the one standing in front of you, old woman, the one who you believe is going to save the day, is not even a child of the Ling family. She is not the big missy of the Ling family! I have no idea who she truly is!”

Yu Meizi’s words brought silence to the conference room. No one could have ever imagined that the big missy of the Ling family was not who she claimed to be.

“She is Ruan Zeyan’s wife, the lady of the Ruan family!”

The door of the conference room was kicked open. The guards of Ling corporation were lying and crawling on the ground with bruises on their faces.

“Director Ling… we could not stop director Ruan…”, said the head guard. He was severely injured with all kinds of bruises.

“What…” Ling Wei stuttered when he saw Ruan Zeyan suddenly walk in. Ling Wei walked over to Ruan Zeyan and said, “Director Ruan, this is a family matter of the Ling family, and you… erm…”

Before Ling Wei could finish his sentence, he was kicked aside by in the chest by Ruan Zeyan. Ling Wei flew backward and crashed into the wall. Everyone in the room could hear clearly the sound of Ling Wei’s chest bones being broken.

Ruan Zeyan walked over to Ling Tianya with a stern face. As soon as he had entered the room, he had seen that she was tearing up. The woman who was so strong and never shed a tear was now crying like an abandoned child. Ruan Zeyan’s heart pained as if someone was gripping it tightly.

He went to Ling Tianya quickly and held her tightly in his arms. “Don’t cry,” he said. “Don’t cry. You still have me. I know who you are. I know!”

Ling Tianya cried in Ruan Zeyan’s arms. She was not a machine. She had gone through so much, but now her own mother had publicly claimed that she did not know who she really was. What was the point of her revenge and everything she had done?
