Ling Tianxin stayed very close to Ling Tianya's side. It was as if Ling Tianya was the only person that she was familiar with. She wasn't adverse to Ling Tao since he had often visited her, but she was particularly afraid of Madame Ling, avoiding her as soon as she stepped foot in the house. It was perhaps due to the fact that she had been terrified of her from a young age, and it didn't help that Madame Ling looked so upset all the time. Whenever Ling Tianxin saw Madame Ling, she acted as if she saw a monster in her closet.
To welcome Ling Tianxin home, Xiao Hong prepared a table full of dishes for the poor child. She didn't show any dissatisfaction at her return and spoke to Ling Tianxin gently. Ling Tao and Ling Tianya were pleased with her attitude.
