Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

After a few drinks, Xu Tiancheng and Ling Gu began to chat about the cooperation between the two companies.

"Ling Che, you—"

Xu Zhaozhao wanted to ask something, but Ling Che interrupted her and asked with a smile, "Don't you like it?"

"I like it." Xu Zhaozhao smiled shyly, "I like everything you give me."

"As long as you like her." Ling Che stared at her intently, as if he wanted to see through her. In Xu Zhaozhao's eyes, his eyes were full of aggression, and revealed the scrutiny between men and women, which made her heart beat non-stop.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the private room again.

The door opened, and a tall and elegant young woman stood at the door. She had delicate eyebrows, fair skin, and beautiful looks. She was very bright and attractive.

Xu Zhaozhao looked over and her excited heart calmed down.

Xu Tiancheng and Luo Qinghan also looked towards the door. When they saw the person coming, they guessed in their hearts that it should be Ling Che's wife, Qiao Ruyi.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Qiao Ruyi glanced around the room, apologized politely, and then sat down next to Ling Che.

Before anyone could speak, a cold voice sounded beside her, with a hint of impatience.

"Didn't I tell you the time and place? Why are you here so late?"

"I was delayed by something." Qiao Ruyi apologized again slowly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay if you don't understand the rules normally, but today your uncle and aunt are coming back home, and you're so disrespectful?" Ling Che frowned and looked at her with an impatient tone, "Next time if you do this, don't come over."

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes and looked at the porcelain bowl on the table without saying a word.

"Ling Che, don't be like this." Xu Zhaozhao on the opposite side spoke to mediate.

Xu Zhaozhao noticed the tension between the two and guessed they hadn't made up yet. Ling Che was naturally arrogant, and Qiao Ruyi was equally conceited, so it seemed clear that neither of them had bowed their heads first. And now that they were at the dinner table, she figured that no matter how rude Qiao Ruyi was, she wouldn't lose her temper in front of her parents and Grandpa Ling.

"Ruyi, I'm sorry. We ate first and didn't wait for you." Xu Zhaozhao looked at her drooping brows and comforted her, "Ling Che's attitude is not good. Don't take it to heart."

Qiao Ruyi looked up at her, her eyes falling on the big bunch of roses in front of her, and she was a little stunned.

The meaning of roses is self-evident.

Who in this room would give Xu Zhaozhao roses?

It can't be Qi Jin and Qi Shui, right?

"The flowers Zhao Zhao is holding are very beautiful." She turned to look at Ling Che, "Are they from you?"

Ling Che hummed an acknowledgment.

The roses are bright red and quite vivid.

"Ruyi, don't get me wrong. Ling Che ordered these flowers for me because he saw that my parents were in a good mood after returning today." She picked up the flowers and handed them to Qiao Ruyi, "If you like them, I'll give them to you."

"No thanks." Qiao Ruyi lowered her head and picked up the chopsticks. "I don't like roses."

Being rejected by her, Xu Zhaozhao withdrew his hand angrily.

Seeing that she didn't give her daughter any face, Luo Qinghan acted like an elder, "Qiao Ruyi, huh? You're late for our first meeting again. Pour Auntie a cup of tea."

After she finished speaking, she saw Qiao Ruyi stand up and walk over obediently, holding up a chuckle.

Qiao Ruyi walked to Luo Qinghan, picked up the teapot, and just as she poured the tea into the cup, someone suddenly bumped her elbow and the tea spilled all over the table.

"How did you do that, kid?"

Luo Qinghan looked dissatisfied, "I asked you to pour a cup of tea for Auntie, and you are so impatient?"

She snatched the teacup from Qiao Ruyi's hand and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself. I won't bother Mrs. Ling."

"Qiao Ruyi."

Qiao Ruyi looked over. Ling Che frowned at her and asked in a cold voice, "What are you angry about?"

After that, he turned around and told Qi Jin, "Since the young lady doesn't want to eat, send her back."

"No thanks." Qiao Ruyi's eyes were red as she refused coldly, "I'll go by myself. I wish you all a pleasant meal."

......

As soon as Qiao Ruyi left, Xu Zhaozhao chased after her.

There were soft sobbing sounds coming from the bathroom.

She cried silently and sadly.

She listened at the door for a long time, feeling a little proud.

She didn't walk in until the crying died down, just in time to see Qiao Ruyi standing in front of the sink with red eyes. When she saw her coming, she quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"Ruyi, are you okay?"

Xu Zhaozhao looked at her red eyes and asked deliberately.

Qiao Ruyi shook her head and said, "It's okay."

Xu Zhaozhao sneered in her heart. No one would feel good after seeing her husband giving roses to others and being scolded mercilessly by him at the dinner table.

Seeing her pretending to be strong, Xu Zhaozhao feigned heartache and comforted her, "Ling Che is really a jerk! No matter how much he cares about my parents, he can't drive you away. He knows you've just been through so much and you don't even have your own family anymore, yet he still bullies you like this. I'll definitely talk to him and make him apologize to you later."

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes, took a step back, and moved a little further away from her. "Let him do whatever he wants. It doesn't matter."

Her tone was filled with deep fatigue. Xu Zhaozhao asked, "Are you all right?"

Qiao Ruyi wiped the tears from her face and said, "What can happen to us?"

"That's great, you two should avoid any conflicts." Xu Zhaozhao looked at her and said, "Let's go in and eat."

"No." Qiao Ruyi refused, "You guys eat, I'm leaving first."

She turned and left.

Xu Zhaozhao looked at her back as she left and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

......

When we entered the private room, there was a lively conversation inside, a scene of great harmony.

Xu Zhaozhao sat down next to Ling Che and whispered, "Ruyi went back. She said she didn't want to come to this dinner in the first place, but you insisted on her coming, and now it's unpleasant."

"Why would I care about her?" Ling Che smiled, "Today is a day to welcome my uncle and aunt, so enjoy your meal."

Hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao smiled faintly and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him. It seemed that they had both drunk quite a lot just now.

"Ling Che, don't drink too much."

"I'm happy today." Ling Che raised his glass and toasted Xu Tiancheng with another glass of wine.

Xu Tiancheng was naturally happy too, and he drank every toast from Ling Che.

After Ling Che toasted Xu Tiancheng, he raised his glass and touched it to Xu Zhaozhao's. His narrow eyes looked Xu Zhaozhao up and down, "You are dressed very beautifully today."

"Really?" Hearing his compliment, Xu Zhaozhao gathered her hair around her ears. "Does it look good?"

Ling Che nodded, "It looks good."

Seeing that he had drunk quite a bit, Xu Zhaozhao leaned closer to her. "Ling Che, what was the surprise gift you said you were going to prepare for my parents?"

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and was just heard by Luo Qinghan.

"Did Ling Che prepare any gifts?" she asked with a smile. "Your uncle was thinking of buying that piece of land in the southern suburbs a while ago. Did you secretly buy it for him as a gift?"

That piece of land was worth a lot of money. If Ling Che really bought it, he must have spent a fortune. Xu Zhaozhao looked at Ling Che in surprise, "Really? You really bought it for my dad?"

Ling Che smiled and said, "It won't be a surprise if I tell you about it. I will send this surprise to my uncle and aunt tomorrow morning."
