Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

On the way back, the heater in the car was on full blast.

Zhuang Yuwei seemed to be tired from playing and fell asleep leaning against Qiao Ruyi. Qiao Ruyi turned her head to look out the window and didn't say a word all the way.

Ling Che was driving and could only see her profile glancing out the window in the rearview mirror.

"What's wrong?" Ling Che asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

After returning from the Ling family manor, she seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't say anything.

Qiao Ruyi still looked out the window, "Who is Xu Zhaozhao?"

How could a Xu Zhaozhao suddenly appear, and be so familiar with him, and his grandfather likes her so much.

She was generous and enthusiastic, and she had heard of her name, but Qiao Ruyi had never known this person.

She remembered that when she was in London, she accidentally heard Han Luochen mention this name, something about lingering feelings.

She didn't ask much at the time and didn't take it to heart.

Now it seems that there is something between her and Ling Che that she doesn't know about.

"Xu Zhaozhao?" Ling Che explained calmly, steering the wheel. "She's the daughter of Xu Bank. The old man of the Xu family was very close to my grandfather when they were young, so the Xu family and our Ling family are also close."

"What about you?" Qiao Ruyi turned her head. "What's your relationship with her?"

Ling Che smiled, "What relationship do I have with her?"

Qiao Ruyi asked, "What do you mean the person you almost married was her?"

Obviously, the person Ling Che had been planning to marry for a long time was Qiao Ruyi, wasn't it?

Ling Che probably guessed it. Ever since she heard Xu Zhaozhao's words, she had been holding back some emotions, but she just didn't ask in front of her grandfather and Xu Zhaozhao.

He turned to look at her with amusement. "She is the same age as me. We went to school together in China when we were young. Plus, our families were close, so we visited each other more often when we were young. Back then, Mr. Xu and Grandpa jokingly mentioned a few times that they wanted to have a marriage between our two families, but it was just a joke."

"After I went abroad, we contacted each other less and less, and the childhood jokes are over." Ling Che explained to her clearly, his tone tinged with laughter. "Are you jealous?"

Qiao Ruyi glanced down at the sleeping Zhuang Yuwei and said, "It's not that I'm jealous, I just feel that she treats you differently."

"What's unusual about it?"

Ling Che drove the car into the Yujingwan garage and stopped. He turned sideways to look at Qiao Ruyi with a smile on his lips, "She's just an acquaintance at best, not even a childhood sweetheart. What's so good about this kind of jealousy?"

Qiao Ruyi also hoped that she was overthinking it. She met Ling Che's smiling eyes and said, "Keep your distance and be self-aware. Do you hear me?"

With a naked warning in his words, Ling Che got out of the car, opened the door for her, held the back of her head and kissed her forehead, "I understand, my dear wife."

He pinched her fair face and said, "I'll take you somewhere tomorrow morning."

......

【Happy Spring Festival! 】

The phone screen on the desk lights up.

Han Luochen took a glance, frowned, and turned off the phone.

In the huge villa, a large table of dishes was laid out for the two of them. Ling Shuang poured him a bowl of hot soup, glanced at his phone, and asked, "Is this your friend?"

"For sales promotion."

Han Luochen said casually.

"You haven't been back for a few years. This time you come back, go visit your grandfather more often and hang out with A-Che." Ling Shuang ate her meal gracefully, her tone gentle. "Do you have any career plans? What do you want to do?"

"No." Han Luochen looked at her and smiled, "I don't want to do anything."

Although he was smiling, there was no sincerity in his words.

Ling Shuang didn't care and picked up the dishes slowly, "If you want to continue practicing medicine, I can find a connection--"

"Who said I want to be a doctor?" Han Luochen interrupted her before she finished speaking, "I said, I don't want to do anything else. I just want to eat, drink and have fun, and live one day at a time. Is that not okay?"

Listening to his frivolous words, Ling Shuang took a deep breath, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at him, "Luo Chen, I have indulged you for seven years. Aren't you tired of playing?"

"In these seven years, you dropped out of medical school halfway through, you didn't take over your father's company, and you never attended a single LS Group shareholder meeting. I left you abroad for seven years. What else do you want?"

Ling Shuang looked at him calmly, trying her best to control her temper.

Han Luochen smiled and leaned back in his chair nonchalantly. "Who says a person has to do great things in life? I just want to be a lazy person waiting to die. Is that not okay? If you think that I am not a good son, then why did you ask me to come back?"

Ling Shuang's delicate face was stained with a hint of anger, but after suppressing it for two seconds, she still didn't vent it to him. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, "Today is Spring Festival, let's eat first."

The screen on the phone lit up again.

Business is slow today, and there are few customers in the coffee shop.

Then another message came, "I'm not trying to be pitiful with you, I just want to tell you that your ID is still with me."

Han Luochen picked up his phone, clicked on the transfer button, entered a few numbers and transferred the money.

The next second, it was pushed back.

【Don't try to get rid of me with money! 】

Han Luochen rubbed his eyebrows and stood up.

Seeing him about to go out, Ling Shuang asked, "Where are you going on New Year's Eve?"

"Go to hell."

Han Luochen said these two words and left without looking back.

The food on the table was already cold. Ling Shuang put down his bowl and chopsticks, listened to the sound of a sports car driving away outside, stood up silently and told the servants, "Put it all away."

......

The next morning, before dawn, Qiao Ruyi was woken up from her bed. Before she could come to her senses, the man put on her coat and wrapped her tightly.

It wasn't until he was stuffed into the car and then parked outside a temple that Qiao Ruyi reacted.

The place Ling Che said he brought her to was Lingguang Temple.

This year, Ling Che spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the first incense burner at Lingguang Temple.

When they got off the bus, the temple masters had already prepared the incense-burning ceremony.

Ling Che took Qiao Ruyi's hand and walked into the temple, coming to the cushion in front of the Buddha.

Every time he came here before, he was alone. This time, he could finally take her to the Buddha of Eternal Life.

"Amitabha." The host handed the lit incense to Ling Che and Qiao Ruyi respectively, "Mr. Ling, Ms. Qiao, may the Buddha bless you."

Qiao Ruyi took the incense, knelt on the mat, turned to look at the man kneeling next to him, who was holding the incense in both hands, like a devout believer.

On the exposed part of Ling Che's wrist was the Buddhist beads that she had broken.

She remembered that the Buddhist beads were scattered all over the ground and rolled around on the street outside the temple.

She didn't know how he picked up the Buddhist beads one by one and repaired them and put them on his hands.

She recalled the scene of him kneeling down with every step and his head bleeding. He said that he knelt down on all eighty-one steps for her, Qiao Ruyi.
