Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

It was already dark when we returned to Yujingwan.

Aunt Zhang was so anxious when she saw the two of them coming back covered in dust and dirt that she asked a lot of questions. Only after Ling Che made up an excuse to brush them off did she feel at ease and went to prepare the meal.

Qiao Ruyi went upstairs to take a shower first. Just as Ling Che was about to follow her upstairs, the phone rang.

As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Qi Jin say, "Mr. Ling, Mrs. Xu from Xu Technology has committed suicide by taking pills."

Ling Che glanced upstairs, then turned and walked to the swimming pool in the backyard.

"died?"

"Yes, she was taken to the police station that afternoon to give a statement. During the statement, she asked to go home. Less than ten minutes after the police sent her home, she committed suicide by taking pills."

Under the lights, the water in the swimming pool shimmers.

The man stood by the swimming pool with one hand in his pocket.

His eyes were deep and he chuckled, "It's really interesting."

Xu Heng's hand was disabled, Xu Weibai fell ill, and Mrs. Xu committed suicide. The Xu family was really finished.

He spared Xu Heng's life, as a way of leaving a descendant for their Xu family.

He originally just wanted to take away the Xu family's company and teach them a lesson.

He doesn't even have the ability to bear this, yet he's still making a fuss.

If he hadn't arrived in time today, Qiao Ruyi would have been gone.

If Qiao Ruyi were gone, even if all the members of the Xu family died, they wouldn't be able to pay the compensation.

Since one of them is bound to die, let the Xu family fend for themselves. It's their fault for raising such a grown-up son who doesn't know his own worth.

After hanging up the phone, he lit a cigarette and made another call.

The person on the other end seemed surprised to receive a call so late.

"Mr. Ling?" Lin Feng's voice was a little nervous.

"Lin Feng, is there any problem acquiring Xu Technology within three days?"

"Three, three days?" Lin Feng thought he had misheard. The time given at the afternoon meeting was within two weeks, so how come it has become three days now?

He wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Boss Ling, I heard that the wife of Xu Technology passed away unexpectedly today. This..."

"What does her death have to do with me?" Ling Che chuckled and blew out a smoke ring. "Do you think I should still hold a funeral for her?"

The impatience in his tone was conveyed through the receiver to the other end of the phone.

Lin Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "I understand, Mr. Ling, I'll do it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Che put out the cigarette in his hand and went into the house.

Aunt Zhang’s dinner is ready, but the people upstairs haven’t come down yet.

Ling Che looked upstairs, then turned around and went upstairs.

......

The rising mist filled the bathroom. Qiao Ruyi lay in the bathtub, her mind full of the image of the black car crashing into her without hesitation.

In that situation, if he killed her, the perpetrator would not be able to escape.

It seems that Mrs. Xu is ready to die with her.

She remembered what Ling Che asked her, "Are you afraid?"

She is not afraid of death.

Everyone will die anyway, sooner or later.

In the past, she didn’t have anything in particular she wanted, nor did she have anything she had to accomplish, nor did she have anyone she was reluctant to part with.

So life and death are too common in front of her.

but now......

The scene of Ling Che jumping out of the car to protect her was still vivid in her mind.

Now she has someone she is reluctant to leave.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something.

So many things have happened to her in recent days.

During the first two years of her marriage to Ling Che, everything was peaceful around her. Apart from having to deal with the gossips for Ling Che, her life was peaceful and uneventful.

Not many people even know her identity as Mrs. Ling.

But recently she seems to have fallen into an invisible net.

She suddenly remembered what Ling Che said that night, that there were countless eyes staring at them in the darkness.

Who is it?

What exactly is their purpose?

Is it just vicious business competition?

And what is Ling Che doing without telling me?

Just as she was thinking, a clear voice outside the bathroom door pulled her back.

"Qiao Ruyi, your bed is in the bedroom, not in the bathtub."

Through the hazy glass door, a tall figure stood at the door, his shadowy figure looming.

She was about to respond when the door was opened.

The tall man was leaning against the door, looking discontentedly at the person soaking in the bathtub. "Qiao Ruyi, are you going to starve me to death?"

Qiao Ruyi looked at his frown with amusement, "Who dares to starve you to death?"

When she said this, her eyes were wet because of the mist in the bathroom.

"I've been waiting for you for half an hour." Ling Che said as he began to unbutton his shirt with one hand.

Suddenly thinking of something, he raised his brows slightly, and sitting on the sofa beside him, he hooked his finger at Qiao Ruyi, "Come here and help me take off my clothes."

"???"

Qiao Ruyi looked at the man sitting not far away with a shameless smile on his face, "Aren't you going to eat? Why are you taking off your clothes?"

"Take a shower." Ling Che said as if it was a matter of course. "You washed yourself clean, so shouldn't I wash off this dirt too?"

Qiao Ruyi took a look at his clothes. His black shirt and black trousers were indeed covered in dust.

"Oh, then you wash it."

As Qiao Ruyi said this, she got up from the bathtub and put on a bathrobe.

Just as she was about to escape from the bathtub, the other person seemed to have guessed her thoughts long ago, and easily reached out and put his arm around her waist and pulled her onto his legs.

As soon as Qiao Ruyi passed by him, she was pulled and fell onto his lap.

The skin after taking a bath is pink and tender, with a pleasant fragrance.

"Where are you going?" Ling Che put his arm around her waist and pinched her face with the other.

Qiao Ruyi blinked and said, "I'll make room for you so you can take a shower."

Ling Che's lips curled up into a faint smile, his narrow eyes sizing her up, then he raised his right hand and sighed, "Alas, it seems my hands can't get wet. I don't know who I saved today and ended up like this."

There was a circle of gauze wrapped around Leng Bai's forearm. Qiao Ruyi met his smiling eyes, and her face was about to burst with anger at his calculations.

Qiao Ruyi deliberately put his arm down and said with a smile, "Then you don't have to wash it."

"That won't do." Ling Che put his arm around her waist and leaned against the sofa, raising his chin. "You wash it for me."

Qiao Ruyi stared at his particularly handsome face. As expected, the more handsome a man is, the more bad ideas he has.

Seeing that she was staring at him without moving, his brows suddenly furrowed, "Hiss, the wound hurts a little."

As soon as the words came out, Qiao Ruyi's heart trembled violently when she looked at his arm.

"Wash, wash, wash!" Qiao Ruyi couldn't stand his look and raised her hand to unbutton his shirt.

Her long curly hair like seaweed fell down, making her bare face look even whiter and more delicate.

The hand around her waist felt wonderful, warm and soft, the warmth of her skin.

Ling Che leaned back slightly, his throat sliding unconsciously.

Her deep eyes followed her fingertips to the belt of his trousers.

"Qiao Ruyi, don't take advantage of me."

He spoke softly, and Qiao Ruyi's fingertips trembled.

It was nothing originally, but after he said that, it seemed like she was doing something improper.

"Where are you touching?" he asked again.

Qiao Ruyi was no longer calm. "I haven't done anything yet."

"Oh?" He raised his eyes and said in a slightly raised tone, "So, is there anything else you want to do?"
