Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

At the gate of the ancient Ling Family Manor stands a pair of exquisitely carved stone lions, their eyes sharp and lifelike.

A jet-black custom-made Rolls-Royce was parked at the gate of the house.

In the garden, the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding could be heard from the hall with blue bricks, black tiles and flying eaves.

"Ah Che, it's rare that you have time to come back and have a meal with an old man like me."

Ling Gu, who was over 80 years old, was sitting on a sandalwood dining chair in a black Mao suit. He glanced at Ling Che who was sitting next to him, shaking a glass of red wine.

Compared to the last birthday party, he was obviously in a good mood and looked more relaxed when he came this time.

It seems that things have been going well recently.

Ling Che smiled softly, "Grandpa, haven't you always complained that there are too many people in the manor? I've evacuated some of them so that you can have a clearer view in the future."

"Do you really think I'm old and confused?" Ling Gu snorted, looking at his grandson with cloudy but wise eyes. "You did withdraw a lot of the bodyguards, but there are a few strong men who can't even understand what you say. Are they mercenaries?"

Ling Che was drinking from a glass, with no tie on the white shirt under his black suit, and a few buttons on his collar undone, looking lazy.

"You can't hide anything from Grandpa."

"Your grandfather is just old, not stupid." Ling Gu looked at him, "When I was dealing with these people, your father was still asking your grandmother for candy."

When Ling Che's father was mentioned, both of them fell silent.

Ling Gu lowered his eyes and sighed, "I, Ling Gu, have never done anything harmful in my life, yet God has chosen to take my life."

Ling Che looked at the red wine in the glass, his eyes deep and dark, and he said nothing.

"You're very different from your father. Your father is a gentle person, and he always likes to give people a way out when doing things. As a businessman, in this business world where people are taken advantage of, he's really too kind."

Ling Gu's gaze fell on Ling Che, whose features bore some resemblance to Ling Zhengqing.

"You're just the opposite of him. You're too stubborn and too outspoken. You insist on doing things you're not allowed to do. I sent you to Country Y thinking you'd become a scholar."

"The result." Ling Gu smiled helplessly at this point, "You just happened to learn a set of extraordinary skills and returned with a wolf-like nature."

Ling Che's eyes narrowed, the light shining on his deep features, and his face showed no emotion.

He put down his wine glass and curled the corners of his lips towards Ling Gu, "Grandpa, you asked me to come back to have dinner with you, but now the food is getting cold."

Ling Gu knew that he didn't like to hear this, but he had to say it.

He only has this one grandson, his son is dead, and his daughter-in-law is crazy.

If he doesn't talk to him more, he's afraid that no one around him will teach him these things.

"Ah Che, don't think I'm being too nagging. Grandpa wants to tell you that even if you do nothing and live a life of luxury, you'll never be able to squander all the wealth of our Ling family. When I inherited the family business from our ancestors, I always wanted to expand the Ling Group. Expanding the business territory nationwide wasn't enough; I even wanted to expand it globally."

"But Grandpa has lived a lifetime. Especially when I saw your father pass away before me at such a young age, I realized that many things are external to the body. Living a healthy life is the most important thing. Life on the edge of a knife is not easy."

When the old man said this, his eyes were kind and profound.

"To Grandpa, nothing is more important than you. Grandpa doesn't ask for anything else, I just hope you can cherish your life, at least—" Ling Gu shook his head and sighed, "Don't let Grandpa send someone young off with his old hair."

Ling Che looked at him, his eyes twinkling slightly, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I know my limits."

There were just some things he had to do.

Even if he doesn't do it, others will not let him go, let alone the important people around him.

Rather than waiting to be crushed to death, he would rather step on others to death first.

Knowing that he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to the old man, Ling Gu picked up his chopsticks and asked casually, "I've arranged all the mercenaries for you, old man. Is this matter not over yet?"

It was said that Cheng Shu from the charity was indeed related to his father's accidental death, had been arrested by the police, and had admitted to everything he had done.

But the fact is, he is still digging into the person behind this.

"It's almost over." Ling Che lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled smoke rings.

"Who?" Ling Gu asked.

Under the curling smoke, his expression was gloomy. "An acquaintance."

If he calculated correctly, that would be him.

"You're in the open while your acquaintance is in the dark. Although your acquaintance is beginning to show his ambition, he hasn't revealed his true colors, right?" Ling Gu turned to look at him. "It's not easy to dig him out, Che."

"If it's hard to dig, then pull it out by the roots."

He smiled nicely, but his deep eyes were filled with sharpness.

Then the cigarette between his fingers was taken away, and he turned to look at Ling Gu.

Ling Gu glared at him and put out the cigarette he had snatched from him. "Don't smoke at such a young age. Quit smoking quickly and give me a great-grandson."

Speaking of having a great-grandson, Ling Che suddenly smiled softly, and his handsome eyebrows curved.

Ling Gu glanced at him and asked, "Why? Are you thinking about that girl from the Qiao family?"

Ling Che played with the lighter in his hand and raised an eyebrow, "Grandpa, do you think she is not good?"

"Grandpa thinks she doesn't act like a lady from a wealthy family. I heard that at the last birthday party, she offended everyone at the table with just one word." Ling Gu was so angry that his head hurt when he talked about what happened at the last birthday party. "My granddaughter-in-law is really amazing."

Ling Che smiled and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this personality."

Like a kitten, it is soft and cute when it should be, but it is ruthless when it needs to stretch out its claws to scratch people.

That’s great, this is her, Qiao Ruyi.

Seeing the rare gentle light in his eyes, Ling Gu shook his head, "You are quite like your father in this respect. Once you set your mind on a woman, you will be completely devoted to her."

Ling Che had heard some of the stories about his father and mother before.

When he was four years old, Zhuang Yuwei went crazy, and Ling Zhengqing spent a huge amount of money to build a private high-end nursing home and sent her there to be taken care of.

At that time, everyone around him speculated that Ling Zhengqing would find another woman. Besides, most men with such status and position in wealthy families would keep several women outside. No rich and powerful man would spend his whole life on one woman, let alone a crazy woman.

But Ling Zhengqing surprised everyone by not dating any woman. He had been like this for over a decade without even a single scandal.

If Ling Che hadn't considered that Ling Zhengqing still had deep affection for his mother, he wouldn't even have called him "Dad" just because Ling Zhengqing had left him alone in Country Y for all those years without paying any attention to him and not even caring about his life or death.

"This is a good thing, but it's also not a good thing." Ling Gu placed his hand on his shoulder and patted him twice. "A Che, I hope this girl won't become the gun fired at you."
