Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Xu Zhaozhao deliberately made her words sound harsh. She glanced at Qiao Ruyi and said angrily, "I'm so angry when I hear these words. How can they say such nonsense without knowing right from wrong?"

Xu Zhaozhao quickly grabbed Qiao Ruyi's hand and said, "Ruyi, please don't take these words to heart. You are still sick, and the most important thing is to take good care of yourself. Don't let these things hurt your body."

Qiao Ruyi smiled lightly. If Xu Zhaozhao hadn't said these words, she really wouldn't have known about such rumors outside.

"There are talkative people everywhere, and their mouths are on other people. What they say is their business." Qiao Ruyi looked at Xu Zhaozhao, "If I care about everything, I won't be able to live like this."

Xu Zhaozhao originally thought that she would be angry or depressed because of the news, but unexpectedly, she smiled faintly and spoke calmly, as if these rumors had not left any impact on her heart.

"So, Ruyi, this is what I admire most about you. Your family has suffered such a great change, and your family members have died one by one in front of you. How much endurance does it take to be able to endure this?"

Xu Zhaozhao's words were filled with heartache as she looked at Qiao Ruyi's blushing face. "No wonder you're sick. You've worked so hard."

As soon as she finished speaking, before Qiao Ruyi could say anything, the phone in her bag rang.

Qiao Ruyi picked up the water beside her and took a sip, listening to her answer the phone.

"The little guy is still making a fuss. Give him the phone and I'll talk to him."

Xu Zhaozhao smiled into the phone. When she heard the voice on the line, she raised her thin voice and coaxed, "Xuanxuan, stop making trouble. Auntie will take you there another day, okay? Grandpa Ling needs to rest today, have you forgotten? You can't think that Grandpa Ling is doting on you and you can do whatever you want. We agreed to take you there another day... Don't worry, all the delicious food at Grandpa Ling's house is saved for you, you little greedy cat... Okay, Auntie is busy now, I'm hanging up first."

When he heard "Grandpa Ling", Qiao Ruyi pricked up his ears intentionally.

After hanging up, Xu Zhaozhao raised the phone in his hand and smiled at her, "It's my relative's child, he just turned four this year and is very noisy. Yesterday I went to visit Grandpa Ling, and the child insisted on going with me, so I took him."

"I originally thought Grandpa Ling would dislike his noise, but I didn't expect him to like him so much. He told him stories and gave him all kinds of fun toys and gifts."

As Xu Zhaozhao spoke, he opened the photo album and handed it to Qiao Ruyi, "Look, the little guy made Grandpa Ling very happy."

Qiao Ruyi took the phone and looked at it. In the album, the fair and soft child made Ling Gu laugh. After scrolling through seven or eight photos, the old man's eyes were full of loving smiles, while the child's face was full of innocent smiles.

The picture is harmonious and full of love.

It can be seen that Ling Gu really likes this child.

To be precise, he really longed to have a great-grandson like this.

Qiao Ruyi's eyes dimmed for a moment and fell into Xu Zhaozhao's eyes.

She put her phone away with a smile and said casually, "Grandpa Ling really likes this naughty boy. If you and Ling Che had a child, I think Grandpa Ling would be so happy that he couldn't stop smiling—"

Before she could finish her words, she quickly covered her mouth.

"Ruyi, I'm sorry, I forgot—" she said, a trace of embarrassment on her face. "Oh, look at me, I always say things that hurt you when I'm quick-witted. I know clearly that you can't have children, but I still say these things to hurt you."

She quickly put her phone away and slapped her mouth in self-blame. "I'm sorry, Ruyi. I didn't mean it. Don't mind it."

Qiao Ruyi looked at her, feeling both self-blame and guilt. Holding the water cup in her hand, she smiled and said, "It's okay. Ling Che and I have already accepted this matter. You were right before. It's the same if we adopt a child when we want one."

"That's right." Xu Zhaozhao comforted her, "Ling Che doesn't like children anyway, so whether you have children or not will definitely not affect your relationship. Don't think too much about it."

Qiao Ruyi looked at her and said, "Zhao Zhao, I'm a little tired and want to rest."

"Look at me, I can't stop talking to you. I almost forgot you were sick." Xu Zhaozhao stood up. "Then you should rest for a while. I'll go downstairs to check on Ling Che. He's a grown man, so he won't be very meticulous in the kitchen. I'll go check on him."

Xu Zhaozhao left the bedroom and closed the door, but did not close it tightly. Instead, he left a gap the size of a palm.

Qiao Ruyi looked at her back for a long time, then smiled gently, but there was an ambiguous meaning in her eyes.

She was really tired, but not physically tired, but she didn't want to continue communicating with Xu Zhaozhao.

Behind the seemingly caring words, there was not a single word she liked to hear.

......

Beside the kitchen counter stood a tall and straight figure, his light-colored home clothes making his originally mysterious and cold temperament look slightly softer.

Xu Zhaozhao stood there and stared at his back for a few seconds.

When he was in Country Y, he was always cold and acted in his own way without any consideration for others.

I didn't expect that he was so considerate and considerate when loving someone.

But why, she is not Qiao Ruyi.

Why? He loved Qiao Ruyi, not her Xu Zhaozhao.

It was obviously she who had a similar family background to him, and it was obviously she who had a childhood engagement with him.

It was obviously she who traveled all the way to Country Y to visit him.

Why? He married Qiao Ruyi and fell in love with Qiao Ruyi.

"What are you looking at?"

The three cold and indifferent words brought Xu Zhaozhao back to his senses.

She saw Ling Che had his back to her the whole time and turned to look at her.

She smiled again, walked over and asked, "How did you know it was me?"

Ling Che stared at the stew pot in front of him and curled his lips slightly.

Not only is he not deaf, he has excellent hearing.

He heard everything from the moment she came downstairs to the kitchen.

Moreover, from the pace of walking and the heaviness of the footsteps, he could tell that it was neither Aunt Zhang nor Qiao Ruyi.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Zhaozhao moved closer and pressed against his back. "Ruyi is resting. I'm here to help. Is there anything you need me to do?"
