The high heels hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

Qiao Ruyi walked towards the restaurant step by step.

"Ruyi, that..."

Li Ling was about to speak when she was interrupted by Qiao Ruyi.

She stopped beside Qiao Xile and smiled gently, "Xile, tell me, do you want to eat spare ribs?"

Qiao Xile looked at Qiao Ruyi with big eyes and shook his head honestly, "It's not me...it's Sister Ruyuan who wants to eat..."

"Qiao Xile!" Qiao Ruyuan immediately stood up and pointed at him, "You traitor! I'm your sister!"

Qiao Ruyi smiled without saying anything, a sharp flash in her eyes, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She walked slowly to Qiao Ruyuan, put her hand on her shoulder, and pushed her back to sit.

Then, she picked up the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs that had not been opened yet, and the next second, poured the entire plate onto the plate in front of Qiao Ruyuan, leaving not a single piece behind.

Qiao Ruyuan looked at the large plate of ribs in front of him and asked sharply, "Qiao Ruyi, what are you doing?"

"Don't you like eating? Then finish it!"

Qiao Ruyi pulled a chair and sat down next to her. He nodded his chin at the plate in front of her and said calmly, "I have plenty of time. I'll watch you eat. You can't leave until you finish."

"Ruyi, you are..."

Li Ling was about to speak when Qiao Ruyi grabbed a wine glass and threw it to the ground. With a "bang", broken glass flew everywhere!

"You have no place to speak here!"

She glared at Li Ling with a cold look, then stared at Qiao Ruyuan, "If anyone tries to stop me again, I can't guarantee what extreme actions I'll take next."

She softened her tone and smiled faintly, "Oh, I might kill someone, or I might set a fire."

Then he raised his hand and gestured, "I might just go 'bang!' and burn our Qiao family to the ground with a single fire. Let's all die together!"

Crazy! All crazy!

Qiao He was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and Li Ling quickly gave him some blood pressure medicine to swallow.

No one dared to stop Qiao Ruyi. Even though she was extremely reluctant, she could only pick up the chopsticks and poke at the sweet and sour pork ribs, which she disliked the most.

Qiao Ruyi said nothing and just watched her eat quietly.

......

The moon was dim in the sky, and Ling Che was smoking outside.

The flickering sparks of Mars dimly illuminated his handsome outline.

I heard footsteps behind me. It was Qiu Gui.

"Sir, Mr. Qiao asked me to tell you something. He said, please take the eldest daughter back home quickly, otherwise this family will be in chaos."

After hearing this, Ling Che suddenly smiled and put out the unfinished cigarette in his hand.

"I see."

Before leaving, Qiu Gui paused and smiled kindly, "Sir, I can see that you dote on the eldest lady very much. Madam should be relieved if she is still alive."

Ling Che just smiled softly and said nothing.

"The eldest daughter has suffered a lot. Ever since the mistress passed away when she was ten years old, she has not even had anyone to talk to in this huge house."

Qiu Gui sighed and said, "Ever since Madam Li brought the second young lady into the Qiao family, the eldest young lady's life has become even more difficult, and Mr. Qiao is partial to the second young lady..."

Having said that, Qiu Gui sighed heavily and couldn't say any more.

"In short, the eldest lady has suffered so much. I feel heartbroken watching her grow up."

A comforting smile appeared on Qiu Gui's face, which was covered with the years. "After marrying you, my dear son-in-law, my eldest daughter's life will finally be better. No one can bully her anymore."

"I'm just a housekeeper, my words don't count. I just hope that you, my son-in-law, can treat the young lady well for the rest of her life and not let her suffer any more."

Upon hearing this, Ling Che lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, with no emotion visible on his calm face.

In the end, he just uttered a low "hmm".

......

The restaurant was silent, with only the crisp clinking of plates as they were poked.

Qiao Ruyuan had only eaten half of the plate of ribs when he found it difficult to swallow. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Li Ling for help.

Li Ling was about to say something, but she looked at Qiao He who was sitting silently beside her. Then she saw Qiao Ruyi glaring at her, and she swallowed the words back.

Footsteps were heard in the huge restaurant, and then someone grabbed my wrist.

Qiao Ruyi looked up and met Ling Che's faint smile.

He looked at Qiao He and said politely, "Dad, I still have things to take care of, so I'll take Ruyi back first."

Qiao He was eager for him to take Qiao Ruyi back and waved his hand quickly.

Ling Che used considerable force to pull Qiao Ruyi up from the chair.

Qiao Ruyuan looked at Ling Che, as if she had seen a savior, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother Ling Che..."

"Did you call me Brother Ling Che?"

Qiao Ruyi gave her a sharp look and said coldly, "Although I don't admit that you are my sister, you must call me brother-in-law from now on!"

She didn't care why Qiao Ruyuan looked at Ling Che with such unclear eyes.

As a woman herself, she knew that look was not simple.

Li Ling and her daughter have already taken over her father and the entire Qiao family. She will never allow Qiao Ruyuan to have the idea of ​​taking over her husband again!

She had been taught a lesson enough, and she didn't want to stay any longer.

She glanced at Qiao Xile, who was sitting silently in the corner, and softened her tone, "Xile, I'm sorry, I ruined your birthday today."

Qiao Xile opened her big dark eyes and said seriously, "It's okay, sister."

"Then sister can make it up to you another day, okay?"

The six-year-old nodded heavily, "Okay."

Before leaving, Ling Che paused and looked at Li Ling, "Tonight's dinner was wonderful, thank you Aunt Li."

His tone was calm and easygoing, and his face showed no emotion.

But the words he said carried a hint of chill, which gave Li Ling goose bumps.

......

The streets were brightly lit and sports cars were speeding along the wide roads.

Qiao Ruyi sat in the car, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, and only then did she find her soul again.

Only after leaving the Qiao family did she feel able to breathe again.

Ling Che lit a cigarette, took off his coat and wore only a black shirt with his collar slightly open and the cuffs of both hands rolled up to his elbows.

He glanced at her in the rearview mirror, "What happened just now?"

Qiao Ruyi just felt tired. She had already consumed too much of her energy at the Qiao family just now. She didn't even have the energy to quarrel now.

Without giving him any glances, she leaned her forehead against the window and kept her thin lips tightly closed.

Through the rearview mirror, I could only see her long hair cascading down, covering half of her face, and I couldn't make out her expression clearly.

Ling Che's patience faded, "Qiao Ruyi, I'm asking you a question!"

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with extreme impatience.

"Ling Che."

She suddenly spoke in a very soft voice.

It was so soft that if Ling Che hadn't been waiting for her answer, it would have been almost inaudible.

She asked, "Since the day I married you and moved into Yujingwan, has the dish of sweet and sour pork ribs ever appeared on our table?"
