C8 Old Man's Threat

The old man's study was as spacious and bright as his own. It was neither too flamboyant nor too reserved. Looking at the interior decorations, one could feel a heavy aura of history assaulting one's face. It was not often seen in the bustling city nowadays.

Nowadays, most people pursued innovation. Even if they were to diligently play with it, they would still be too impatient to imitate it. If it was lost, then there would not be any charm to it.

The old man was different. The ancient fragrance here seemed to be alive. It was like the iron walnuts that were often held in one's hands. They were played so smoothly that they were as smooth as fat. They were played so well that they were crystal clear.

Bai Qimo looked at the study room, and the old man looked at her.

"Girl, sit." He pointed at the mahogany chair next to him and said.

Bai Qimo obediently sat on the chair. Her voice was calm. "What's the matter, Grandfather?"

The old man sat on her left side and there was a square table between them. He took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that you and Xiao Han have been having a divorce recently?"

Bai Qimo paused for a moment and did not expect the old man to ask this. She paused for a moment and blinked, "It is indeed so."

"Why do you suddenly want to get a divorce? Didn't the girl like this kid very much before?"

Looking at the kind face of the old man, she didn't seem to have any other intention. She simply took out what she had said to Ling Han earlier.

She lowered her eyes and seemed to be smiling. Her voice was crisp. "In the past, I was young and frivolous and wanted to cling onto a tall branch. In addition, Ling Han was outstanding. I should not narrow my eyes. I have done many wrong things. Now that I think about it, I was really laughable back then. I cannot blame others for not being able to grasp my own strength."

Bai Qimo really thought so. In the past, although Bai Qimo was domineering, she did not have any thoughts. It was just that she did not know people and was tripped. Thinking about it, she really could not blame others.

The old man saw that her expression was calm and clear. She did not seem to be the greedy person that she spoke of. He could not help but say, "Girl, don't belittle yourself. I can see clearly with my eyes that you are a good child."

She smiled faintly. Now that I've thought it through, instead of looking at you in such a way, why don't we separate early? "

The old man had lived for so long, and he had seen all kinds of people. However, Bai Qimo was the only clear child. This kind of child was definitely not as terrible as the rumors said. Beautiful things were always envied by others. It was not strange for such rumors to exist in the outside world. With Han's personality, he was a great help.

A family like theirs did not need any other reputation to show off. What they lacked now was Bai Qimo who could bring glory to the family's face like this.

"Little girl Qimo, as an elder, grandpa still has to say a few words to you."

Bai Qimo sat up straight and listened attentively. She did not feel any malice from this old man but instead had a faint tolerance, as if she was facing her own junior.

"Now that you have married into our Ling family, you do not need to care about the rumors outside. As long as you and Xiao Han are fine..."

"Grandfather," Bai Qimo interrupted him, saying, "Ling Han has never liked me. Coincidentally, I do not like him now. We have already agreed to divorce after grandfather's birthday banquet."

The old man frowned. He really liked Qimo. He did not want to divorce her in public or in private. Furthermore, the divorce had a negative impact on Qimo.

"Girl, grandpa won't force you to do anything. But have you thought about what you will do after the divorce?"

A sentence suddenly woke her up. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. Yes, she still had the label of an aphrodisiac on her body. Her outward appearance was also arrogant and despotic, and she could do whatever she wanted. Now that they were divorced, what would people think? Bai Qimo, this aphrodisiac woman, had really cuckolded Young Master Ling and was swept out of the house? Moreover, what about the Bai family? Although the original owner was no longer here, At this time, if his matter affected the Bai family, there would probably be a lot of people who would add insult to injury. The Bai family was getting weaker and weaker. If they really couldn't survive this storm... then the consequences would be... The consequences would be unimaginable!

She almost instantly understood the pros and cons of this situation. She was so scared that she almost broke out in cold sweat. She raised her head and looked at the smiling old man in front of her. Her eyes were complicated. "Grandfather..."

"It's good that you understand. You know what to do."

"But Grandfather..." He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either.

"It's not impossible to get a divorce." The old man put down his teacup and looked around the study room. Then, he said, "Do you know how much hardship the Ling family has gone through from a small business to the position of the leader of the four families in Sea City? I will never allow such wealth and fame that has been accumulated over generations to have a single stain on it!"

When he said that, his eyes turned stern. The warmth in his body disappeared in an instant. Sitting in front of Bai Qimo was the big crocodile that had stirred the entire Sea City back then, Ling Zheng!

"If your departure is a stain on the Ling family," he looked at Bai Qimo, "I don't mind letting the person who caused the stain disappear completely!"

Bai Qimo stared into his eyes for a long time before she smiled and said, "I know, Grandfather. I will wait until my reputation is cleared before I divorce Ling Han."

This time she smiled sincerely. She saw clearly what kind of person the old master was. Perhaps he had a purpose for the family. However, in the entire Sea City, or perhaps someone who knew a little about the Sea City, who would dare to gossip about the Ling family? The old master seemed to be threatening her, but...

However, she was not sure what exactly it was. Perhaps it was because she liked him, or perhaps it was because she was willing to do something else, but the old master's feelings for her had come true.

The old man was really a little depressed. He had already said it to this extent. Not only was this girl not afraid, she was also smiling mischievously. She also didn't forget to divorce!

Sighing, he restrained his aura. The old man did not know whether to laugh or cry. He reprimanded, "On the surface, it looks cold and cheerless, but it's extremely naughty!"

He used his walking stick to knock on the floor and said unhappily, "Hurry up and get lost! Bring that kid along and get lost!"

Bai Qimo smiled and got up. She bent down. "Then I will come back to see grandfather tomorrow."

"What are you looking at?! Pi Monkey!" As he spoke, he sighed in relief. Such a good child... It would be a pity if he let go!

When he went downstairs, he saw Ling Han sitting in a conspicuous place with his legs crossed. The people around him who had not left wanted to get close to him but were afraid of angering him.

Ling Han saw Bai Qimo walking over with one glance. She stopped by the sofa and said to the cold man, "Go back. I'm tired."

When the man stood up, she took the initiative to put her arm around him and said, "Let's go."

Ling Han was stunned. He wanted to shake her off, but when he saw the gazes around him, he held back and stared at her for some reason.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qimo tilted her head. Her expression was indifferent. There was not the slightest change in her expression.

Ling Han's eyes flashed with a dark coldness. "I'm fine."

"Then let's go."
