Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

The last time I came to the Ling family manor, it was Mr. Ling’s birthday party. The manor was packed with guests and it was very lively.

This time, it was surprisingly quiet. Apart from a few bodyguards and servants walking around in the yard, there were no other outsiders.

When I met Mr. Ling, he was writing at his desk. He was wearing a silver-white gown of noble texture. Although he was over eighty years old, he looked very noble.

Ling Che called out "Grandpa", and Qiao Ruyi followed suit.

Zhuang Yuwei, who was supporting her, seemed not to recognize Old Man Ling. She didn't react at all and just looked around the room curiously.

Ling Gu looked up at Ling Che and Zhuang Yuwei, and said with full energy, "A Che and Yu Wei are here."

Then he looked at Qiao Ruyi next to him, "Ruyi girl is here too."

"Very good." He smiled and spread out the calligraphy he had just written, and asked, "It's a good opportunity to see how my writing is doing."

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes and saw the word "和".

The handwriting is vigorous, powerful, elegant and sharp.

It's the old man's style.

Ling Che smiled and said, "How can your handwriting be bad?"

"Hey!" Ling Gu looked at Qiao Ruyi, who was standing beside him with a calm expression, "I'm asking about Ruyi."

Ling Gu never liked Qiao Ruyi, and Qiao Ruyi originally just wanted to come over for a meal out of politeness and then leave.

She didn't expect Ling Gu to take the initiative to talk to her, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Before Qiao Ruyi could say anything, a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist.

Ling Che's hands grasped her slender waist, bringing her closer to Ling Gu. He glanced at her sideways and spoke in a gentle tone, "Grandpa asks you, do you like the words he wrote?"

Qiao Ruyi was unable to break free from the hand on her waist, so she let him gently pinch the soft flesh on her waist.

She smiled and looked at Ling Gu, "Grandpa, your calligraphy is in running script. It's smooth and vigorous, and the spirit is flying. It's very good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Che looked at her and raised his eyebrows playfully.

I didn't expect her to give such an evaluation of the old man's calligraphy, which touched the heart of the old man.

Ling Gu laughed heartily, "It seems that Ruyi likes this word very much."

He raised his hand and pointed at the large characters on the rice paper. "He, reconciliation as before, harmony and beauty, it has a good meaning. I'll have it framed and sent to you and Ling Che's wedding room someday."

Qiao Ruyi didn't know whether the old man said this intentionally or not, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Moving to the restaurant, the food and tableware have already been set on the Chinese mahogany round table.

"Oh! Let's eat, let's eat!"

Zhuang Yuwei was dancing with excitement while sitting on the dining chair. She refused to let the servants serve her food and insisted that Qiao Ruyi pick some food for her.

Qiao Ruyi smiled indulgently and put some food into her bowl.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a piece of fresh fish falling into his bowl. He turned around and saw Ling Che had just put down his chopsticks and continued talking with Old Man Ling.

The piece of fish in the bowl was the freshest and tenderest part, and even the bones had been removed in advance.

Qiao Ruyi felt mixed emotions.

Originally, this meal should have been a happy one for the family, but Qiao Ruyi felt very upset.

She always thought of what Ye Ke said and wondered how sincere Ling Che was towards her.

Since when did the word "trust" disappear between her and Ling Che?

During the meal, all the dishes in Zhuang Yuwei's bowl were picked by her, and most of the dishes in her bowl were picked by Ling Che.

After dinner, Qiao Ruyi took Zhuang Yuwei to walk around the manor to see where she used to live, which might help with her condition. Ling Che and Ling Gu went to the study to discuss something.

There was rosewood incense burning in the study, and wisps of white smoke were floating in the air.

Ling Gu held up the teacup and said, "I watched the morning news. You're in such a good mood today. Is it because Zhuang Ce was taken away for investigation?"

Ling Che played with the celadon teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "This matter is all thanks to your granddaughter-in-law. She told me that there was something wrong with Zhuang Ce's charity organization. That's why I contacted the reporters and the media to make a big deal about it, causing Zhuang Ce to be caught up in the public opinion storm. Then I followed the clues and asked the police to investigate him."

"This is a good move," Ling Gu said. "The ambitious jackals, tigers and leopards have finally been caught."

"But this matter isn't over yet." Ling Che chuckled. "He was only taken away for investigation. His crimes can't be proven, and his deeds haven't been fully exposed yet."

"However," his eyes dimmed slightly, "as long as he's in the police station, I have a way to prevent him from ever leaving."

His eyes revealed the determination to control everything. Ling Gu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"You have your plans, so I won't interfere too much. I'm just reminding you to be careful. As I said before, your life is more important than anything else."

"I know, Grandpa."

"Tell me about you and Ruyi." Ling Gu raised his chin and pointed outside the closed study door. "She surprised me a bit this time. I always thought she wasn't a lady from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect she knows so much."

When mentioning Qiao Ruyi, Ling Che's eyes softened.

"Grandpa, she has so many advantages, but you were prejudiced against her before."

"If that's the case, then what's going on between you two?" Ling Gu asked. "You specifically asked me to write the word 'he' for her. What's going on? Are you having a quarrel?"

Ling Che put down his teacup and lit a cigarette, "There's a misunderstanding. He's angry with me."

Ling Gu sighed softly, "When it comes to relationships, it all depends on your father. He holds your mother in his hands and cherishes her in his mouth. Even the slightest misunderstanding between them was never left unexamined. That's why your mother was as happy as a little girl in those years. It's a pity that now..."

Having said that, he sighed deeply again, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." He waved his hand. "Let's talk about you."

Ling Che asked with a smile, "Me?"

"About having a child." Ling Gu glared at him angrily. "If I don't ask you about this, should I ask Ruyi?"

......

"You mean, the room where the lady lived before was locked?"

In the courtyard, Qiao Ruyi wanted to take Zhuang Yuwei to see the room where she used to live, hoping that she might recognize something, so she asked an older servant.

"Yes, Young Madam," the servant said, "Ever since Madam left the Ling Family Manor, the room has been locked with a combination lock, and none of us servants can enter."

Qiao Ruyi glanced at Zhuang Yuwei, who was sitting on the ground playing with the grass next to her. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Does Ling Che know the password?"

"Master knows."

"Then you stay here and watch over the lady. I'll go ask."

Qiao Ruyi said something to Zhuang Yuwei and prepared to go to the study to ask Ling Che for the password.

......

"Doctor William told me."

Ling Gu's voice was a little angry, yet quite helpless. "In order to avoid having children, you went to Country Y and asked him to give you a contraceptive injection?"

As the only grandson, there is nothing he cannot do, except what he doesn't want to do.

Even doing such a thing gave Ling Gu a headache.

Outside the study, the hand that was about to knock on the door suddenly stopped in mid-air.

A deep but clear man's voice answered from inside.

"Yes."
