After that conversation, Ling Chengrong still didn't sign the divorce agreement, and Song Xia didn't return to the Ling family mansion. However, the Song family found out that she wanted a divorce and immediately came to put pressure on her.
"Song Xia, you're not a child anymore, how can you still be so willful? You were the one who insisted on marrying Marshal Ling in the first place, and now you're the one who wants a divorce. What exactly do you want?"
“You also need to think about your family. Business in interstellar space is not easy these days. It’s only because of Marshal Ling’s protection that no one in our Song family has caused us any trouble. Wenye is also Marshal Ling’s son, and he doesn’t want things to be like this either.”
"In short, your family doesn't agree to your divorce. What kind of life is it for you to live here alone? Go back to the Ling family as soon as possible. As for Ye'er, the family is also using all its resources to find him."
"I heard you're training on your own. What, you want to save Ye'er with your own abilities? Don't dream. For over twenty years, you've been a pampered young lady. You're only starting to train now. What kind of results can you possibly achieve?"
"Are you dreaming?" Song Xia's expression was indifferent. Everyone thought it was impossible for her to do it, but she was determined to show them. In her past life, you also said you used all your resources, and what was the result?
From the day Ye'er was not brought back, Song Xia decided to no longer trust anyone and not place Ye'er's hopes on others.
"Mom, you and my sister-in-law should go back. I've made up my mind, and I won't change it, just like I insisted on marrying Ling Chengrong back then."
"Why are you so stubborn?" Song Ma said angrily. "Your father asked Marshal Ling, and he is mindful of our past kindness and will not sign the divorce papers."
"Whether he signs or not is his business. In any case, I will not go back to the Ling family. I will find Ye'er in my own way."
"You're asking for trouble! You're still young, you have plenty of time to have another child with Marshal Ling. That would be good for you and the family. When Ye'er is found one day, he will understand your good intentions. Otherwise, if Ye'er comes back but you and Marshal Ling are divorced, will Ye'er stay with you or Marshal Ling? No matter who he stays with, it won't be as good for Ye'er as it is for the two of you."
Song Xia suddenly looked at her mother, her eyes red: "In the end, you only care about your own interests and have never considered me and Ye'er. If I have another child, even if Ye'er is found, will he still be close to me? And after having a new child, will you still put your heart into finding Ye'er?"
“We have our own selfish motives, but you divorced Marshal Ling just for Ye’er, okay? Without your supervision, Marshal Ling might still be diligently searching for Ye’er now, but what about later? He still has a son and a daughter!”
"That's why I have to insist, because Ye'er only has me. If I have another child, Ye'er will no longer be my only child, and I will have to share some of my love with him."
"Song Xia, how can you be so stubborn?" Song's mother stood up angrily. "Fine, if you insist on being willful, then you can't use the Song family's resources either. Let's see how long you're going to be so obstinate. Even if you admit your mistake then, Marshal Ling may not accept you again. You'd better watch yourself."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Song family also shook her head at Song Xia: "Little sister, everyone is doing this for your own good. Now is the best time for you to take control of the Ling family while Marshal Ling feels guilty. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small gain."
Song Xia looked at her coldly: "So in your hearts, my Ye'er is far less important than your interests? What do you mean I insisted on marrying Ling Chengrong back then? Didn't you try your best to make it happen? Don't put all the blame and responsibility on me. If the Song family's business couldn't be done without Ling Chengrong, then the business shouldn't have been done in the first place."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Song family was ridiculed and her face didn't look good. She would probably have to say a lot of things when she got back, so that everyone in the Song family would be on her side. But Song Xia didn't care. So what if everyone was against her? She had accumulated some wealth over the years. With these assets, she could buy a fighter jet and weapons, and travel between different star systems.
She knew that the space pirates had a lot of territory, and she knew that it was very dangerous, but even if it was a den of dragons and tigers, she was willing to go for it. Ye'er, wait for your mother, your mother will never give up on you.
"Is he the son of the dignified Marshal Ling Chengrong?" At this moment, Ling Wenye was being sized up by a group of people. "Ling Chengrong's son doesn't look like much."
Ling Wenye hugged his knees. After many days, he no longer struggled and argued like he did at the beginning. He knew that these people were just trying to embarrass him and make him look foolish, so he had to stay calm.
No matter how much he tried to comfort himself, he was still only five years old, and he was terrified when faced with the ferocious pirates.
"We tried to test the waters, but Ling Chengrong disagreed with our demands. This child is no longer of any use to us."
Upon hearing this, one of the pirates said to Ling Wenye, "Hey, kid, your most admired father doesn't want you anymore."
"You're talking nonsense!" Ling Wenye clenched his fists. "My father would never abandon me."
"If we truly cared about you, how could we let you fall into our hands?"
The laughter grew louder, making Ling Wenye's face grow paler and paler.
"Why don't you become a pirate in the future? Since your dad doesn't want you, you don't want him either. Being a pirate is great, you can live a carefree life."
"I don't want to become a pirate, I want to join the army."
"Join the army? Don't become a pirate? That's not up to you."
The pirates' faces turned cold: "Since the deal with Ling Chengrong won't go through, let's drug him and sell him to Rogge. He has a lot of grudges against Ling Chengrong, and we've already spent so much effort on this, so let's recoup some of our losses by selling him."
"Are you really selling it? Why don't you try to negotiate with Ling Chengrong again?"
“If we make contact again, we’ll be exposed. And don’t you think it’ll be more interesting when this brat grows up and turns against Ling Chengrong, and father and son kill each other? Ling Chengrong has killed so many of our brothers over the years, it’s time for him to pay the price.”
"What you say is right, then we'll do as you say. But what medicine should we give him?"
"Just let him lose his memory, don't bury his talent, otherwise how will father and son fight each other in the future?"
Ling Wenye trembled as he listened to their conversation, his fear growing stronger. He looked out the window, but sadly, he didn't see the person he was hoping for until the medicine was delivered.
"No……"
"You little brat, listen to me and swallow it by yourself, or you'll be the one who suffers in the end."
"I won't drink it. Let me out. My mother has a lot of money. You can have as much as you want..."
"Money isn't the most important thing to us, kid. Don't blame us. Blame your marshal father for not valuing you."
The moment the drug was forced down his throat, only one thought echoed in Ling Wenye's mind: his father really didn't want him anymore.
