Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

"I'm sorry, Dad!"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me just now. I can't remember what happened at all."

Qiao Ruyi cried with tears on her face, her hands shaking uncontrollably, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dad..."

She turned to look at Li Ling, who was terrified, and said, "Auntie Li, don't be angry with me..."

"She did it on purpose!" Li Ling screamed. After being helped up, she staggered to Qiao He. The yellow mango juice was all over her face and body, and she looked miserable.

"Hubby, Qiao Ruyi did it on purpose!"

Qiao Ruyi burst into tears, looked at Qiao He, and kept shaking her head, "No..."

Qiao He raised his hand with a sullen expression and slapped Qiao Ruyi in the face, "What on earth do you want to do?"

A huge slap sounded in the room. Qiao Ruyi's head was tilted by the slap, and her fair cheeks quickly turned red, with fingerprints clearly visible.

Seeing this, Li Ling's fear subsided a little, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

"husband--"

"you shut up!"

Qiao He looked at Qiao Ruyi's face that was hit and interrupted Li Ling angrily.

Qiao Ruyi's tears fell to the floor, drop by drop.

My face was burning, swollen and numb.

"Why don't you believe me?"

Qiao Ruyi shed tears and slowly turned to look at Qiao He. "You didn't believe me about what happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. You slapped me in the face like you did today. And then, was the truth really what you saw?"

Qiao He choked up suddenly. During the last Mid-Autumn Festival, he had wrongly accused Qiao Ruyi and slapped her without explanation. For this, she hadn't spoken a word to him for several months.

"Qiao Ruyi! Don't turn the tables!" Li Ling was afraid that Qiao He would believe her, so she said quickly, "It was you who tortured me to death just now, don't you admit it? I didn't expect you to be so mean!"

"Yes, I did it." Qiao Ruyi looked at Qiao He and admitted it straightforwardly.

Qiao He's eyes narrowed and he looked at her in disbelief.

Qiao Ruyi looked at him with tears in her eyes. "But I said I didn't mean it. I didn't know what I was doing. Do you believe me?"

Qiao He's face turned pale. "What on earth do you want to say?"

"Dad." Qiao Ruyi's tears fell, "I'm sick."

......

In the quiet study.

A medical record was placed on the table. When Qiao He saw the handwriting on it, he lost his balance and took two steps back.

"Schizophrenia?"

He looked at his daughter standing in front of him in disbelief. There were clear fingerprints on her face from where he had hit her. "When did you become ill? How long have you been ill?"

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes, her rims red. "Ever since Mom passed away, I haven't been able to sleep well. I've gotten used to it over the years."

She raised her red eyes and looked at Qiao He. "Ever since you promised Aunt Li to remove Mom's tablet, and after what happened on Mid-Autumn Festival, I've been heartbroken. You're my father, and you broke my heart twice in a row, causing me to be mentally unstable for a long time."

"Until recently, I found myself unable to control myself from doing things and having no memory of them afterwards, so I went to see a doctor."

Qiao Ruyi clutched the medical records on the table tightly in her hand, her voice trembling, "The doctor said that I was suffering from schizophrenia due to a long-term lack of parental love and frequent provocation."

"Dad!" Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes, her eyes broken with despair, "Have I become a psychopath?"

Her heartbroken look reminded Qiao He of how she felt when she was a child and suffered injustice.

A wave of guilt welled up in his heart. Qiao He took her medical records and shook his head to comfort her, "You are not mentally ill, you are your father's daughter."

"Dad, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I really don't know what happened."

"I don't blame you." Qiao He stepped forward and held her in his arms. "Ruyi, you have suffered over the years."

The father and daughter hugged each other after more than ten years, which made Qiao He feel guilty. "Does Ling Che know about this?"

Qiao Ruyi nodded, "We went abroad this time because Ling Che wanted to find a good doctor for me."

"what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said my illness isn't serious and generally won't lead to schizophrenia. I'll only lose control of myself when I'm severely stimulated."

Qiao Ruyi leaned on his shoulder and said, "Dad, I was just burning incense for Mom, and then I saw Aunt Li come in. I don't know how I lost control afterwards."

She sniffed and said, "I think if Aunt Li hadn't said or done something to stimulate me, I wouldn't have had this attack."

Qiao He sighed heavily after hearing this, "Dad promises that from now on, while you're here, I won't let anyone provoke you."

"Thank you, Dad!" Qiao Ruyi choked up, "I don't have a mother anymore. You are my only relative."

Qiao He hugged her tighter and said, "Dad is sorry for you."

In his embrace, Qiao Ruyi's red eyes curved slightly, and her bright red lips slowly curled up.

......

"That little bitch Qiao Ruyi is as mean as her mother! I really underestimated her!"

Li Ling soaked in the bathtub, washing and rubbing the mango pulp off her face again and again.

Even though she had washed it several times, the rotten and smelly suffocating feeling just now still made her feel nauseous and want to vomit!

Just as I came out of the bathtub, the servant outside the door reminded me, "Mrs. Li, Mr. Qiao asked you to go downstairs."

"I see." Li Ling responded and then asked, "How is Qiao Ruyi? Did Mr. Qiao drive her away?"

"The eldest lady is also downstairs." The servant paused, "but she looks like she's crying a lot."

Li Ling couldn't stop smiling, it looked like she had been taught a lesson by Qiao He. She had to take this opportunity to make sure Qiao He could no longer defend her and kick her out of the Qiao family!

Li Ling changed her clothes, fixed her hair, and went downstairs happily.

As soon as I got downstairs, I heard Qiao Ruyi sobbing.

She hurried downstairs and walked towards the hall, just in time to see Qiao He sitting on the sofa with an unhappy look on his face, and Qiao Ruyi sitting beside him with red and swollen eyes.

She glanced at Qiao Ruyi and walked towards Qiao He, "Old Qiao, Ruyi is really outrageous today——"

Before she finished speaking, Qiao He stopped her and shouted, "Stand there!"

Li Ling immediately stopped smiling and stopped.

When she glanced at Qiao Ruyi, she saw Qiao Ruyi looking up at her with a bright and provocative smile on her face, the same expression she had when she took the mango just now.

She was startled, and then she heard Qiao He sternly say, "Auntie Wang! Say what you just heard again!"

Aunt Wang walked over timidly, glanced at Li Ling, and lowered her head. "Madam Li...Madam Li just said that it was unlucky to have Madam Yin's spirit tablet in the Qiao family when the eldest daughter was offering incense to Madam Yin. She also said that Madam Yin was dead and only deserved to eat rotten fruit—"

"Wang Chunfen!" Li Ling interrupted her harshly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Li Ling!"

Qiao He angrily threw the teacup in his hand at her feet, which scared Li Ling.

"Apologize to Ruyi!"
