Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Ling family manor.

In the ancient Chinese-style study, Ling Gu looked up at the young man in front of him with a straight back and a pine-like posture.

His old, sharp eyes fixed on the man's shoulder, "Take off your clothes."

Ling Che lowered his eyes and looked at him, without moving.

Ling Gu threw his cane to the ground with all his strength, "Take it off!"

He was old, and Ling Che didn't dare to make him too angry. He took off his suit jacket and threw it aside, then began to unbutton the white shirt underneath.

The shirt fell off, revealing layers of gauze wrapped around his muscular right shoulder blade, covering the wound that had not yet healed.

Ling Gu's face was gloomy. He walked behind Ling Che with his cane, carefully lifted the edge of the gauze, and took a look at the wound.

With just one glance, a trace of pity flashed in his old eyes, and his hands, covered with wrinkles, began to tremble slightly.

It was a gunshot wound, and the bullet had great penetrating power and the wound was very deep.

Fortunately, the bullet hit the right shoulder. If it had hit the left side, the bullet would have easily penetrated the heart and killed him on the spot.

Ling Gu's trembling fingers fell on the white gauze. Even if the injury was to the shoulder, it would not heal without a few months of rest.

Despite such a serious injury, he still acted as if nothing had happened and said it was a minor injury, a small matter!

Ling Gu took a deep breath and said, "Look at this wound. It's been at least half a month."

Since the old man knew everything, he didn't intend to hide it. He said "hmm" and admitted it.

"Okay, okay." Ling Gu smiled sadly, "Xiao Chen said he asked you out for a drink a few days ago. It seems like you all have been hiding things from me."

"The kids have grown up and don't take me, an old man, seriously anymore. They even teamed up to hide something as big as this from me."

Ling Gu sighed deeply, his face looking lost.

Ling Che put on his shirt and buttoned it up, "Grandpa, I didn't mean to hide this from you, I just didn't want you to worry."

"That's a nice way of putting it, but you think I'm useless now and there's no need to tell me, right?"

Ling Gu turned to look at him, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Ah Che, I couldn't do anything when your father passed away. Now that my grandson is so badly injured, I can't do anything either. Every day I can only drink tea and write in this huge garden. My life is leisurely, so leisurely that I didn't even know my grandson almost died outside."

"Grandpa." Ling Che frowned. "It's not as serious as you think. I'm standing right in front of you, okay?"

"Alright?" Ling Gu sighed and smiled, then sat back up. "He was badly injured, and he couldn't even save his child. How can you call him alright?"

"That girl from the Qiao family can no longer give birth and can no longer add to our Ling family's family. Is this what you call good?"

Ling Che frowned slightly, "Where did you hear all this?"

"Don't worry about where I heard this. Grandpa just wants to know if it's true." Ling Gu looked at him with a hint of anger. "Why, are you trying to silence everyone and keep an old man like me in the dark?"

"Whether Ruyi can have children in the future is not important to me." Ling Che looked at Ling Gu with a firm look in his eyes. "I married her because I love her, not to let her add children to our Ling family."

"Love her? Love her so much that you'd risk your own life to take a bullet for her?" Ling Gu said angrily, "Do you think I don't know what happened between you two in Country Y? This is the nth time you've taken a bullet for her!"

Ling Gu slammed his cane on the ground. "Your body is made of flesh, not steel! You will die! How many lives do you have, Ling Che?"

"Ruyi is my wife, my love. It's my responsibility to protect her." Ling Che stood before him, his eyes deep and determined. "Even if I have to die for her, I'm willing to do that."

Ling Gu was almost furious. "Are you happy? Have you asked me, your grandfather, if I'm happy? Have you asked your mother if she's happy? Have you asked the hundreds of thousands of employees at Ling's company if they're happy? If you die, not only will our Ling family be affected, but the entire capital will be in turmoil!"

Ling Che took a step forward and looked Ling Gu in the eye. "That's not Ruyi's fault. The suffering she endured during this kidnapping was all caused by me. It was my fault for not protecting her well. It has nothing to do with her."

"Before, I asked you to have children, but you refused. Now, after a few years of marriage, you finally had a child, but it was miscarried. You can't have any more children! Ling Che, what on earth are you trying to do? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Ling Gu's face turned livid with rage. He stood up and pointed his cane at Ling Che, "That girl has always been so stubborn. I told her to have bodyguards with her whenever she goes out, but she refused to listen. She did it once, twice, three times, and now, she didn't even know she was pregnant! If she had always been obedient and had bodyguards with her, would this kidnapping have happened? Even if you protect her, she'll end up hurting you sooner or later!"

Ling Che didn't expect Ling Gu to be so dissatisfied with Qiao Ruyi. He frowned and asked him, "Weren't you very satisfied with Ruyi before? Why are you so angry with her now?"

"I didn't agree with you marrying her in the first place! I don't know what your father was thinking. Of all the daughters from well-matched families, he chose that girl from the Qiao family!"

"Last year, when I heard you were expanding your group's business into a fashion section, I knew it had something to do with that girl from the Qiao family! Our Ling family has a centuries-old foundation, encompassing over a dozen industries. Whether it's finance, real estate, aircraft manufacturing, or automobile manufacturing, we're among the best in the country and even globally!"

"I, Ling Gu, have lived for nearly a hundred years, and I simply cannot understand why you wouldn't focus on cultivating your own industry, which is already at the top, and instead choose to dabble in that insignificant fashion sector! After all, it all comes down to one thing: you're using the group's business to play along with her!"

"I'll just turn a blind eye to this matter, hoping that she can live a peaceful life with you and give our Ling family a daughter."

Ling Gu looked at Ling Che angrily, "And now what?! You almost lost your life for her. Not only did you lose the baby you were pregnant with, but you can't have any more children. Are you going to end up with no descendants for the Ling family?"

Ling Gu took out all his anger on Qiao Ruyi, pushed all the responsibility onto her, and did not hide his dissatisfaction with her at all.

Ling Che listened to his complaints quietly and just smiled slightly, "Grandpa, do you mean that you want me to divorce her?"

Ling Gu didn't say it directly, but just looked at him with a gloomy expression. "It's not impossible. Maybe there is someone more suitable for you. Ah Che, love is not something you can eat. You have greater responsibilities on your shoulders."

Ling Che understood that what Ling Gu meant was that he was not happy that Qiao Ruyi could not get pregnant again, so he wanted her to divorce him and remarry.
