130. Blind Filial Piety; Ling Family Got Into a Mess

After sending Zhao&Han couple away, Ling Jingxuan arranged Song Gengniu and his family to make a bed on the floor in the central room temporarily. The two little buns had already went away with Zhao&Han couple, and Ling Jinghan and Ling Jinghan stayed, because recently they clearly noticed Ling Chenglong’s silence. They were not fools, they could guess what he was thinking, but no one asked it out. They were waiting, waiting for him to say it himself.

“Jing…Jingxuan, I got something to ask for your opinion.”

Just as Jinghan and Jinghan were about to leave and Ling Jingxuan used the excuse of taking a walk with Yan Shengrui to help digestion after dinner to see them off, Ling Chenglong finally couldn’t hold it and stopped them. The three brothers exchanged an eye contact, then sat back, “Dad, what is it? Just say it.”

Under the dim lights, Ling Chenglong obviously did not notice the coldness in his eyes. After looking around them timidly, he stammered, “Here is the thing, Jingxuan. You also heard about your aunt and Jingwei’s thing. So I am thinking your grandpa is still ill, and after this, I’m afraid he can’t take it. So, I want to go check on him. What do you say?”

After all having been a filial son for his whole life, however he was disappointed of that family, he still cared about the old man deep in his heart. But the three brother instantly darkened their face. Yan Shengrui directly wore a sarcastic smile. Jingxuan said right. The reason they always got bullied was not only because that those people were bad, but also because they gave those people the chance.

“Dad, do you know what it means if you go back now?”

After a while, Ling Jingxuan picked up a faint smile and said so, slender fingers playing with the empty cup in front of him. No one knew what he was thinking. It seemed that Ling Chenglong did not notice that his voice became a little colder than before. He raised his head reflectively, “What does it mean? I just want to go back to check on your grandpa. No other thoughts.”

“Daddy, why haven’t you still changed? Heavenly knows how mad they are now. Aren’t you offering yourself to them if you go now? And about grandpa, he has already known my second elder brother has recovered, plus my big brother’s series of doings today. Even the old chief starts to set his eyes on my big brother. Don’t you understand? If you go home now, they’ll try every mean to let you move back!”

Ling Jingpeng was the first who couldn’t take it and opposed. Then Ling Jinghan who was sitting next to him said deeply, “Dad, I have no objection that you care about grandpa, after all you are his son. But we just divided up the family and moved out, and they thought this is the best timing to persuade you to move back. If you go back now, I’m afraid we’ll go back to the old days again.”

With his dad’s honest and foolishly filial temperament, this may one hundred percent thing.

“How is that impossible? Finally we moved out. How would I be that stupid to move back?”

Dissatisfied with his son’s accusation, Ling Chenglong retorted, but…

“What if grandpa and grandma threat you with their lives?”

Ling Jinghan’s eyes suddenly became stern. Ling Chenglong instantly got stoned there, apparently stuck by his question, but also indirectly gave them the answer.

“Dad, if you insist going back, I won’t stop you. But before you go, please write down the divorce paper and a statement renouncing us as father and sons.”

Ignoring his father’s stunness, Ling Jingxuan stood up and said so coldly. That side face under the candle light was infected with undisguised seriousness. He could understand his doing, but did not approve of it. He could never let his mother and two younger brothers go back to that wolf den again. Actually Ling Chenglong was not a bad person, or you could say he was a good father, but just too stupid and silly. If you didn’t use some tough means on him, only heaven knows when they’d get set up again without themselves knowing.
