The divorce agreement was sent to Ling Chengrong, but he ignored it. He thought it was just Song Xia acting on impulse. After all, Song Xia had been pursuing him relentlessly from the beginning, and she had been very considerate to him after marriage. How could she be so easily going to get a divorce?
As for the reason why it's because of his youngest son, Ling Wenye, isn't he also doing his best to find him?
Ling Chengrong also coldly sent a message: "Go back and tell her that her nonsense will only delay my search for Wenye."
He had been staying in the army and hadn't gone home, so he didn't know that Song Xia was serious this time, but Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying had a bad feeling.
Ever since Aunt Song got engaged to my father, she had taken great care of her children, arranging everything from their social interactions to their daily necessities. But after they came ashore from the warship, Aunt Song not only stopped caring about them, but she also never went home again.
"Wenying, do you think Aunt Song is really determined to divorce Father?"
Ling Wenying took a deep breath: "After all, my younger brother's life is still uncertain. I don't think Aunt Song is simply angry with Father."
Ling Wenbang was extremely worried: "Father, why couldn't you save my younger brother first? When can't you take revenge? Besides, Father has shown little concern for Aunt Song and my younger brother over the years. How can Aunt Song not feel heartbroken?"
Ling Wenying opened her mouth, but what could she say? Should she criticize her father? But her father was also seeking revenge for her mother's death back then. If she had been facing the enemy at that time, she probably wouldn't have been able to remain calm either. But from the perspective of Aunt Song and her younger brother, how innocent were they?
Over the years, Aunt Song has suffered enough for this family. Although she is only a few years older than her siblings, she has taken on the responsibility of caring for them, fearing that she, her brother, and her father would not like it. And her younger brother, every time her father comes home, his longing eyes are enough to make one's heart ache, but her father always has the excuse that he is too busy with work, which makes her younger brother sensible.
But my little brother is only five years old! What child doesn't rely on their father? Compared to when they were children, their father has shown far too little care for their little brother, and now he has even lost him again because of his own mistake. How can Aunt Song feel at peace with this?
"Wenying, let's go see Aunt Song and pick her up from here. No single apartment is as comfortable and convenient as this place."
Ling Wenying nodded, but she had a premonition that they might not be able to bring the person back.
When the two arrived, the administrator told them that the person had already left. They were extremely worried and could only wait at the management office until the moon was high in the sky before Song Xia returned.
She was dressed in light and simple sportswear. From her flushed face and trembling hands and feet, it was clear that she had just engaged in strenuous exercise or training. Ling Wenying and Ling Wenbang were astonished because Song Xia's image had always been that of a gentle and ladylike woman, and her clothes were mostly gorgeous dresses, which had nothing to do with fitness and exercise. Why was she changing like this?
"Why are you here?"
“Aunt Song, Wenying and I have come to pick you up.” Ling Wenbang then added to Ling Chengrong’s words, “This was also Father’s wish. He didn’t come because he was still searching for his younger brother.”
“Him?” Song Xia scoffed. “Don’t I know what kind of person he is? You don’t need to make excuses for him. I’m not going back. Also, tell him that I’m definitely getting a divorce. Since Ye’er doesn’t care, I won’t ask him to find someone else. I will use my own abilities to save him. From now on, I will cut all ties with him and have nothing to do with him anymore.”
Hearing her resolute words, Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying's expressions changed: "Aunt Song, things haven't gotten that serious yet. My little brother will definitely be alright. Father really did use all his resources to search for him all night long."
“I begged him back then… Forget it, why tell you all this? All these years I was just being a fool and insisted on marrying him. He never loved me, he only married me because it was a good match. Ye’er is the one I brought into this world, so it’s understandable that he doesn’t care.”
“Aunt Song…” Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying’s expressions changed again. “Father absolutely did not mean that he did not care about you and my younger brother.”
"Stop speaking up for him here. I know how I've felt all these years. I thought that as long as I listened to him, he would care about me more. Now it seems that I was just being delusional. Wenbang, Wenying, you are both good kids. This has nothing to do with you. Don't be upset anymore. People come together and then go apart. Take good care of yourselves from now on."
Looking at her pale face, Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying felt their hearts breaking and increasingly felt that their father was a bastard.
So after leaving Song Xia, the two immediately went to the First Military Region. When Ling Wenbang saw Ling Chengrong, he started yelling, "Now that Aunt Song is going to divorce you, you are still unmoved. Father, do you really have no feelings for Aunt Song at all?"
"Who sent you here?" Ling Chengrong frowned at the two of them. "What did she say to you? I told you, I haven't given up looking for Wenye."
Upon hearing this, Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying were even more disappointed: "Father, do you think Aunt Song sent us to put pressure on you? No wonder Aunt Song was determined to get a divorce, no wonder she said that you had no feelings for her all these years, it turns out it was all true. If you didn't like Aunt Song, why did you marry her in the first place?"
“Ling Wenbang, don’t think that just because I usually spoil you, I won’t lay a hand on you. Get out of the army and back to school immediately.”
"Yes, you usually dote on me and Wenying, but what about my little brother? He's been five years old since he was born, how many times have you held him? How many times have you praised him? Even if Aunt Song insisted on marrying you, what about my little brother? He has your blood in him too, why don't you care for him the same way you care for us? You're even so indifferent that you don't care about my little brother's life or death?"
Ling Chengrong clenched his fist and lowered his voice, saying, "At that time, there were no pirates around, and soldiers were arriving. I thought..."
“Although you are seeking revenge for Mom, is the dead more important than the living? Dad, you have disappointed us so much.” Ling Wenying shook her head. “Aunt Song asked us to tell you that she has made up her mind to divorce you and wants you to sign the papers as soon as possible. She will go find your little brother herself.”
"She's searching? What is she searching for?" Ling Chengrong retorted instinctively. "She's only making us a laughingstock to those enemies."
"Aunt Song searched with all her love! No wonder Aunt Song was so disappointed. So this is how you always looked down on her." Ling Wenying turned to leave, then paused at the door. "Father, I always thought you were the best father, but from my perspective, you are probably the most irresponsible father. If I can find him soon and he is safe and sound, our family may still be a complete family. If I can't find him... Father, after graduation I will apply to join the Tenth Legion."
