Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

When Qiao Ruyi received the call from Ling Family Manor, she had just eaten half a bowl of rose bird's nest stewed with milk and vomited it all out.

The call from the other end was urgent, saying that Mr. Ling was not feeling well.

Qiao Ruyi didn't care about too much, just washed up and prepared to rush over.

Cheng Yimu put her coat on her and said, "I'll take you there."

Qiao Ruyi hesitated for a moment, then heard him continue, "Even if we were just ordinary friends, I should have taken you there at this critical moment. Besides, it would take time for you to call the driver over now."

What he said made sense. Qiao Ruyi didn't refuse anymore and went out with him and got into his car.

The black Bentley drove all the way to the gate of the Ling family manor.

There were already several cars parked at the door. Qiao Ruyi guessed that Ling Shuang and Han Luochen should have arrived. If so, it meant that the old man was very ill.

She frowned and walked quickly inside. Cheng Yimu saw her in. When she reached the door of Grandpa Ling's room, she felt it was inappropriate, so she stopped and waited outside.

As soon as Qiao Ruyi entered the room, she heard a labored cough from an old man.

She hurriedly walked around the lobby and saw Han Luochen standing aside.

"Sister-in-law."

Seeing her, Han Luochen lost his playful and charming look and became much more calm.

Qiao Ruyi nodded slightly and looked towards the bed.

Ling Shuang was sitting beside the bed, helping Ling Gu calm down.

Ling Gu has aged a lot and lost a lot of weight, and his sharp eyes have become tired and cloudy.

The successive deaths of young people have tortured his body, which is over 80 years old, and made him bedridden.

Ling Che's death was the biggest blow to him.

Ever since he learned of Ling Che's death, he'd been muttering Ling Che's name when his memory was hazy. When his memory was normal, he'd sigh and groan without saying a word.

"Ruyi girl..."

Looking at the person who came, Ling Gu stretched out his bony hand and waved to her.

Qiao Ruyi hurried over, her eyes red.

"Grandpa's cough suddenly got worse today. He almost fell off his chair at noon." Ling Shuang told Qiao Ruyi with red eyes, "Now he can't even get out of bed."

Qiao Ruyi looked at Ling Shuang with red eyes. Ling Shuang understood what she meant and said, "The doctor has already checked..."

She said, then shook her head.

What the doctor meant was that the old man was old and exhausted.

The implication is that time is running out.

"Ruyi girl..."

Ling Gu looked at Qiao Ruyi's thin face, his eyes full of kindness, "Grandpa believes that he has never done anything wrong in his life... The only mistake he made was breaking up you and A Che..."

Qiao Ruyi shook her head and tears fell.

"Thinking about that time, Grandpa regrets it so much..." Ling Gu's old eyes were also moist, "Why was Grandpa so confused? Why did he do such a stupid thing..."

Qiao Ruyi's tears fell and landed on the back of Ling Gu's dry and withered hand.

She kept shaking her head, hoping he wouldn't say that.

"It's a blessing for our Ah Che to marry you, and it's also a blessing for our Ling family..." Ling Gu looked at her and held her hand. "Grandpa has lived to this age. I've gained and lost, and now I have no regrets... But the thing that Grandpa is most worried about is you, Ruyi girl..."

"Ache can't come back anymore. You and Grandpa must accept this fact..."

As early as when Ache was determined to find out the truth about his father's death and seek revenge, Ling Gu had been living in constant fear, fearing that something might happen to his grandson.

He advised him not to check more than once, saying that sometimes being a confused person and living a confused life could bring peace for the rest of his life.

But his grandson was stubborn and refused to listen, insisting on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Now the truth is out and the bad guys have been caught.

No grandson either.

Ling Gu's tears fell as he looked at Qiao Ruyi, who was also in tears. His lips trembled, "Ruyi, Grandpa knows you're suffering. You can miss him, but don't think about him all the time. If you can live a smooth and peaceful life, that will be the greatest comfort to him..."

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you..." Ling Gu looked at her slightly bulging belly with heartache, "It is a great blessing for our Ling family that you decided to give birth to this child for him..."

"Ruyi... If you have other plans in the future, everything in our Ling family will be the dowry that Ache gives you..." Ling Gu held her hand tightly. "If you insist on raising the child alone, then everything in our Ling family will be the confidence that Ache leaves for you..."

Qiao Ruyi couldn't stop crying, and also held Ling Gu's hand tightly. She was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe, and just kept shaking her head.

"How can a pregnant woman cry like this..." Ling Gu said softly, "Grandpa won't die for a while. I asked you to come here today just to talk to you while you are still awake..."

He looked at Qiao Ruyi lovingly, "Ruyi, can you call me 'Grandpa' again?"

Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes, her heart suddenly tightening.

She opened her lips, and a voice in her heart told her, "Shout, shout quickly, call grandpa! Maybe this is the last time you call him, maybe he won't be able to hear you next time!"

"Qiao Ruyi, hurry up and shout!"

"Shout 'Grandpa'!"

Qiao Ruyi opened her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. She tried her best but couldn't utter a single word.

She couldn't shout.

Not a single sound could be made.

She hated herself so much, why couldn't she say a single word!

"It's okay..." Ling Gu patted the back of her hand, "Grandpa still has time. Wait until you call me 'Grandpa' next time..."

Qiao Ruyi held his hand tightly and cried silently.

She is so useless that she can't even pronounce two simple syllables.

She regretted so much that she didn't fulfill Linggu's wish when he wanted to hear her call him grandpa the most.

She didn't know that if she missed this opportunity, Ling Gu would never have the chance to hear her call him grandpa again.

In the deep winter of that year, Ling Gu passed away.

......

On the way back, Qiao Ruyi sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window with a calm look in her eyes.

Cheng Yimu turned up the heater in the car to the maximum, but Qiao Ruyi still felt cold all over.

"As one wishes."

Cheng Yimu turned to look at her, thought for a moment, and decided to tell her, "I just received a notice from the hospital that they want to send me to Country D to do medical research."

Hearing this, Qiao Ruyi turned to look at him.

"If I go, the shortest stay would be three or five years, and I might stay in Country D forever." Cheng Yimu steered the wheel and smiled gently, "Do you think I should go?"

He gave the opportunity to choose to Qiao Ruyi.

As long as she said she didn't want him to go, he wouldn't go.

Without any hesitation, Qiao Ruyi wrote a sentence on the paper: This is a good opportunity, you should seize it.

Cheng Yimu glanced at the black handwriting and smiled lightly.

He had guessed she would say that.

She had clearly rejected him, and he shouldn't have any more illusions.

He nodded, "I will seize this opportunity, but I won't leave until your child is born safely."

Qiao Ruyi frowned and looked at him.

Cheng Yimu smiled, "I promised Ling Che that I would help him take good care of you. I can't go back on my word."
