Kapitel 89: Give Her a Chance to Perform

Redakteur: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Sister, at the same age, you have become a world-famous screen writer who has done outstanding work while all I did since graduating from college was spend dad's money, nothing that I'm proud of. I did some self-reflection lately and I really want to stay by your side and learn from you. I know I won't become as capable as you, but I want to broaden my horizon. Like you said, at my age I can't keep acting like daddy's little girl and expect people to respect me…"

Ling Yuqing lowered her head as she spoke, making herself look sincere in her self reflection.

To aid Ling Yuqing's act, Qu Wan's eyes turned red as she spoke in a soft and pleading tone, "Yaya, this time your sister really wants to better herself and she's relying on you to help her. You are the oldest daughter in the Ling Family, you and Yuqing are the only kids of your generation. The family's future is on your shoulders!"

When Qu Wan said 'the only kids of your generation', Ling Tao's eyes twitched. He must have thought about the boy that was never born.

Obviously Madam Ling was thinking about the unborn boy too. She didn't care to speak earlier. but at that time finally opened her mouth, "I am the oldest in the house, so I say it's settled. Tomorrow, you fire that assistant of yours and let Yuqing help you at work!"

Zhang Ke couldn't believe her ears and looked at Ling Tianya, "The Ling Family just decided on her destiny like that, without even consulting her? What kind of tyrannical people were they?" She had faith in her teacher though. Miss Ling would not let that woman replace her! It all depended on Miss Ling's stance!

"Yaya, what are you still thinking about?" Ling Tao seemed embarrassed by Ling Tianya's hesitation in giving an immediate answer. He wished his daughter was as obedient and considerate as Ling Yuqing.

"Nothing." Ling Tianya put down her chopsticks and held up her elbows. She smiled at Ling Yuqing, "If you really want to be my apprentice, I'm not going to stop you. It's fine with me."

"What?" Zhang Ke panicked. "Miss Ling… What about me…"

Ling Tianya glimpsed at Zhang Ke and went on talking to Ling Yuqing, "I have high standards for my assistant. Even though you are my sister, I must warn you about it. You are brand-new in this industry, so you have to start from the bottom. I am too busy to teach you everything myself. Tomorrow when you come, Zhang Ke will train you. When you have a good grasp with things, I'll let you assist me."

Ling Yuqing looked at Zhang Ke, a shade of disdain and unwillingness crossed her face.

Ling Tao, on the other hand, nodded in agreement, "Yaya is right. There needs to be a transition period."

Ling Yuqing was quick to show compliance to her dad, "Okay, I got it. I will try my best!"

The dinner was over shortly after. On the drive back, Zhang Ke was not her talkative self. Instead, she stayed quiet and looked depressed.

"Are you upset?" Asked Ling Tianya.

Zhang Ke answered, "…Miss Ling, you are allowing Ling Yuqing to work with us. Don't you worry about her causing more trouble?"

The street lights outside were hurting her eyes, so Ling Tianya looked away.

Ling Tianya had not found the time to deal with Ling Yuqing since the school reunion episode. Ling Yuqing had come forward herself, no reason not to give her a chance to perform. Like the old saying, keep your friend close, keep your enemy closer.

Zhang Ke was waiting for Ling Tianya's response, but when she looked back, Ling Tianya obviously had fallen asleep. Zhang Ke became even more depressed. "Is Miss Ling really going to replace me with Ling Yuqing?"
