Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

"Snapped!"

A loud slap echoed in the empty room.

"Qiao Xile, you ungrateful wolf, do you want to kill me?"

Qiao Ruyuan pointed at the small figure in front of him in frustration, "You clearly saw it! You clearly saw that it was Qiao Ruyi who tried to strangle me, and you clearly saw that I didn't push her. Why did you help her lie and hurt me!"

If Qiao Xile hadn't lied, she would have been able to expose Qiao Ruyi's plan, and she wouldn't have been punished by Qiao He to kneel for several hours, with her knees swollen!

The child, who was less than seven years old, had his fair and tender face swollen from being beaten. Qiao Xile lowered his head, and fear was reflected in his childish eyes and brows.

He didn't say anything, and Qiao Ruyuan's anger grew even more intense. She grabbed his small arm and shook it vigorously, "Qiao Xile, what on earth are you thinking? Do you know that Qiao Ruyi has nothing to do with you? I am your sister. Why do you help her and not me?"

The child's tears came out because of fear, but he held back his tears without making any sound.

"Let me tell you, Qiao Xile, do you know why your mother always beats you? Because she doesn't love you. You shouldn't have been born in the first place! If it weren't for the fact that you were a boy, she wouldn't have given birth to you!"

"You useless piece of shit! Mom raised you up like this, and you can't help me at all. You even help Qiao Ruyi deal with me!"

Qiao Ruyuan's eyes were filled with anger as he pinched Qiao Xile's face fiercely. "Dad has long given up counting on you. Qiao's company will no longer belong to Qiao Ruyi. From now on, the entire Qiao's company will fall into my hands. Even if you are a dog, you should know who your master is!"

"I'll be the only one who'll take care of you and give you food and drink from now on, otherwise I'll throw you out and starve you to death!"

Qiao Xile still didn't say anything, her whole body was trembling, tears were dripping down her face, and she was holding the car building block tightly in her hand.

Qiao Ruyuan was furious and thought that he would beg for mercy and say sorry, or even say that he would never help Qiao Ruyi again. But the child was like a mute and didn't say a word.

"You're not going to talk, are you?" Qiao Ruyuan yanked his hand away, trying to snatch the building blocks from him. "You're holding onto this junky thing like it's a treasure all day long! Give it to me!"

Her fingers were pried open, and the building blocks in her hands were about to be snatched away. Qiao Xile suddenly burst into tears and pretended to grab them, "Give it to me! Give it back to me!"

The child cried heartbreakingly. Qiao Ruyuan snatched the building blocks from his hand and found that they were the ones Qiao Ruyi and Ling Che had given him before.

Seeing that he treated the building block as a treasure and finally said something while crying, Qiao Ruyi became even more furious. She threw the building block to the ground and stepped on it!

"I treat you like a treasure! I treat you like a treasure! From now on, whatever Qiao Ruyi gives you, I will destroy it! Let's see if you will still help her and not me!"

She crushed the building blocks into pieces with just a few kicks, and a small car model was torn into pieces.

"Give me back—"

Qiao Xile cried and tried to grab it, but was pushed away by Qiao Ruyuan.

With a "bang", a small sound hit the lamp on the bedside table. The sharp edge of the lamp scratched his face and blood immediately flowed out.

The child seemed to feel no pain and cried out, "Give it back to me—"

Qiao Ruyuan was also stunned when she saw the blood on his face. "It wasn't me, you fell down yourself!"

She quickly ran out and shouted, "Help, Xile fell down!"

Qiao Xile held the broken building blocks on the ground tightly in his hands and burst into tears.

......

"Teacher, thank you for coming out to hold a press conference."

In the bedroom, the warm yellow floor lamp shone on Qiao Ruyi's delicate face. The corners of her lips curved slightly. "You have retired from the fashion circle for a long time, but you still appeared in front of the camera because of me. Thank you so much."

A gentle female voice came from the other end of the line. "Qiao Qiao, Qiao Group is your family business, and the one who plagiarized my designs is your half-sister. Why are you making such a big deal out of this? Actually, I gave up on those designs many years ago. It doesn't matter to me whether they're used or not. If it can help your career, I don't mind giving those designs to your sister for free."

"Teacher, she is not my sister, and the Qiao Group has nothing to do with me." Qiao Ruyi smiled lightly, with a cold look in her eyes. "The bigger the commotion, the more it will suit my taste."

"I remember when you were studying abroad here, you weren't someone who cared too much about gains and losses. Instead, you seemed to not care about anything. Why now...?"

Erica didn't finish asking the following question, but Qiao Ruyi knew what she meant.

She has changed. When she was studying abroad, she had no desires and was only focused on design. Even the numerous awards she won were just empty titles to her.

At that time, she had nothing to ask for and nothing to think about. There was nothing she had to get, and nothing she couldn't lose. To her, nothing mattered.

But now it's different, she has a lot to do.

She has someone she cares about and a heart that wants revenge.

She didn't answer, and Erica didn't say anything more. She just smiled gently and said, "Qiao Qiao, people who do design must have a pure heart, but never lose themselves."

"I know, teacher, thank you, but there are some things I have to do."

"I heard that Qiao's Group is holding a press conference to apologize tomorrow," Erica asked. "How do you want my team to cooperate?"

"Then let them take a breath first." Qiao Ruyi smiled, making Qiao He think that the matter had been settled. After they took a breath, she would give him a big gift.

There were footsteps outside the door, and then the bedroom door was opened.

Qiao Ruyi quickly hung up the phone and looked at the person coming in from outside, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

Ling Che asked amusedly, "I'm going into my own bedroom, why should I knock?"

“…”Qiao Ruyi.

Ling Che walked to the bedside and leaned over slightly, "Who are you calling behind my back?"

"Did you eavesdrop on my phone call?" Qiao Ruyi was a little angry. Could it be that he heard everything?

Ling Che chuckled, "I'm not deaf. I heard your mumbling as soon as I got to the door. You're not talking to yourself, are you?"

Qiao Ruyi looked away and put away her phone. "So what did you hear?"

"I didn't hear anything." Ling Che leaned closer to her and asked deliberately, "Or, what do you want me to hear?"

He was getting closer and closer, his tall body enveloping her. Qiao Ruyi slightly turned sideways to avoid him. "Just talk, why are you so close?"

There was a soft "clang" sound.

The phone vibrated a few times on the bedside cabinet. Ling Che smiled and said, "I'll put my phone there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone screen lit up.

They both turned their heads to look over at the same time.

When Qiao Ruyi realized that she shouldn't care about him so much and wanted to look away, it was too late.

She saw a text message on Ling Che's phone screen.

——【I am really a playboy. I like you every day and every one of you.】

A clear confession.

Qiao Ruyi's eyes were wide open and her heart was pounding.

My first reaction was to open his phone and see who was so blatantly sending him such love messages.

But before she could put her finger out, she suddenly remembered that she had said she didn't love him anymore, so how could she care about such things?

The mobile phone on the bedside table was picked up, and slender fingers slid open the phone, and then the brows furrowed.

Ling Che held up his phone in front of Qiao Ruyi, looking helpless, "Someone confessed their love to me, what should I do?"
