After being turned away by Xie Xiaoai, Ling Yunlong's first reaction was that this little bitch was far too ungrateful.
If it weren't for the fact that she and Shi Ying looked somewhat alike, why would he have humbled himself to beg for reconciliation?
He had already tried everything to reason with her, but Xie Xiao'ai still refused to open the door for him, which infuriated him greatly. He raised his voice and sternly rebuked her:
"Xie Xiaoai, don't push your luck. Don't you know how I've treated you lately? To put it bluntly, if you hadn't met me, even if you worked hard for another ten years, you might not be able to afford a house."
"Don't worry, once I recover and am discharged from the hospital, I will definitely move out of the apartment you bought on my own and will not take advantage of you in the slightest."
Xie Xiaoai was determined not to continue her ambiguous entanglement with Ling Yunlong.
"Incomprehensible!"
Ling Yunlong didn't expect Xie Xiaoai to be so stubborn. After saying something in a huff, he turned around and stormed out of the Renhe Hospital inpatient area.
The emptiness and loneliness in his heart swept over him with the tide of night. Ling Yunlong originally planned to go to the red-light district to relieve his current sorrow, but Su Yu's distress call disrupted his original plan.
Listening quietly to Su Yu's tearful voice through the receiver, Ling Yunlong remained silent, even showing a hint of schadenfreude.
After dawdling for most of the day, he finally went to the police station alone after being bombarded with phone calls from Su Yu.
...
At the police station, Su Yu was stunned by the series of questions the police asked her.
For a moment, it was difficult to say anything, and it was also difficult to remain silent.
She only asked Jiang Fangshu to kill someone for her, so why did Jiang Fangshu reveal all the dirty deeds they had committed over the years?
Now, without Ouyang Bin's help and with Ling Yunlong dragging his feet and refusing to come, she really didn't know what to do.
After dealing with the police officers sitting in the interrogation room for a while, Su Yu felt completely exhausted.
Not only that, she also accused the police of coercing her confession, sometimes crying and making a scene, and sometimes throwing a tantrum with her hands on her increasingly thick waist.
Having finally seen the weathered Ling Yunlong, she disregarded everything else and rushed towards him, throwing herself into his arms and sobbing softly:
"Yunlong, you've finally arrived. I don't know where these policemen heard that from, but they insist that I'm the culprit who murdered Shiying back then. Heaven and earth bear witness, Shiying and I were like sisters, how could I possibly kill her?"
"Stop acting, you've gone too far."
Ling Yunlong pushed her away roughly and said coldly:
"I'm here today mainly to discuss divorce matters with you."
"Yunlong, believe me, I absolutely did not do anything to hurt Shiying."
“Su Yu, I know your character better than anyone. Besides, Jiang Fangshu’s words were spoken in extreme fear, so they can’t be false. Let’s just get a divorce first.”
Ling Yunlong thought to himself that if Jiang Fangshu's crimes were proven, Su Yu would also be punished for multiple crimes.
If he fails to distance himself from the situation now, he will inevitably be implicated.
Furthermore, after learning that Ling Tian was not his biological daughter, his last bit of affection for Su Yu was exhausted.
Even if Su Yu were shot dead on the spot, he could still walk over her body without batting an eye.
“Ling Yunlong, don’t push me. If you dare to mention divorce again, I will expose your illegal smuggling of prohibited medicinal herbs.”
With nowhere else to turn, Su Yu had no choice but to reveal her last bargaining chip.
Ling Yunlong hadn't expected that she would have such leverage over him. Slightly guilty, he glanced up at the police officers in the station who were engrossed in organizing documents. Seeing that no one had noticed what Su Yu had said, he lowered his voice and whispered in Su Yu's ear:
"I'm warning you, you'd better not do anything reckless. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make sure you never have to speak again."
"Save me. If you bail me out of the police station, I promise I'll never mention it again."
As if grasping at a last straw, Su Yu threatened Ling Yunlong in a deep voice for a while, then grabbed his hand and pressed it against her slightly protruding belly, muttering incoherently:
"Yunlong, you will definitely save me, right? I'm carrying the Ling family's precious son in my belly, you can't abandon me."
“Our Ling family is not fortunate enough to accept the bastard child in your belly.”
Upon hearing Su Yu mention the child, Ling Yunlong immediately bristled.
God knows how heartbroken he was when he learned that Ling Tian was not his biological daughter.
He spent his entire life struggling in the business world, finally managing to establish himself in Linjiang City, only to end up childless.
It's truly pathetic!
Knowing she was in the wrong, Su Yu still held onto a sliver of hope and timidly asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Ling Tian is the product of your affair with Lin Bao, right? As for the child in your belly, if it's not Jiang Fangshu's, it should be your so-called agent's. Am I wrong?"
Ling Yunlong may be concerned about his reputation, but he would never swallow his pride and raise someone else's child just to save face.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils trembled violently.
Extreme fear made her throat dry, and she couldn't utter a single word for most of the day.
Ling Yunlong glanced coldly at the disheveled Su Yu, then suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, which was wrapped in several layers of gauze:
"The last promise I can give you is that I will not divorce you for the time being. As for the mess you and Jiang Fangshu have made, you'll have to figure out how to solve it yourself."
"Ling Yunlong, how cruel you are..."
Su Yu knew very well that Ling Yunlong no longer had any feelings for her.
The reason he kept quiet about the divorce was simply because he was worried she would reveal that he had illegally smuggled prohibited medicinal herbs.
Having exhausted all other options, she then planned to threaten Ling Yunlong with the matter of illegally smuggling prohibited medicinal materials to clear her name.
Before she could speak, Ling Yunlong, as if anticipating her words, preemptively abandoned her and strode out of the police station...
