Chapter 250: The Young Madam Has Left

Ling Hanyu felt a bit regretful and didn’t dare to lose his temper so fiercely.

After all, once he realized there had been a misunderstanding, he still couldn’t control his temper.

And that’s how things ended up like this.

It was his fault!

But in the past, Song Qingtian would never have acted this way.

When Ling Hanyu walked in, he saw Aunt Chen waiting by the door.

Upon seeing Ling Hanyu, Aunt Chen hurried over: “Sir…”

“Mm?”

All the anger he’d just felt seemed to dissipate in an instant, replaced by his usual composure and steadiness.

Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment: “Sir… I’m not sure whether I should say this or not.”

“Go ahead.”

Ling Hanyu wore a calm expression—after all, at this point, what was there left to think about whether something should be said or not?

After much deliberation, Aunt Chen finally spoke: “The young madam did indeed behave poorly in the past, but even though she was at fault, the important thing is that everything she did was out of her love for you, sir.”

Ling Hanyu lowered his gaze. “That was the past.”

Not anymore.

She’d rather leave him than stay!

Aunt Chen continued: “The young madam was pampered and spoiled by her parents since childhood. There are certainly many aspects of her character that aren’t ideal, but she’s very kind—she’s not a bad person.”

Ling Hanyu didn’t argue with that.

She was just a bit naive.

“Sir… all the changes the young madam has undergone happened after Mr. Song and Mrs. Song passed away. It was only in her helplessness that she became like this. Even so, there’s far more good in her than bad.”

Ling Hanyu looked at Aunt Chen: “Get to the point.”

Aunt Chen was embarrassed—wasn’t this the point?

Aunt Chen said: “If the young madam really had such feelings, she wouldn’t even consider the miss!”

Aunt Chen’s words suddenly made Ling Hanyu realize something.

Ling Hanyu looked at Aunt Chen, who thought he hadn’t understood and went on to explain plainly: “You know what kind of person the young madam is—she married you because she loved you. Back then, when she got married, it almost became a laughingstock. If you hadn’t agreed to marry her, she would’ve tried to take her own life, even doing many things that ordinary people can’t understand and that drew endless gossip behind her back. You could say she’d do anything for the sake of loving you.”

Ling Hanyu kept a straight face. Didn’t someone who loves you act like that?

“Sir, do you think that if the young madam really liked someone else now, she’d stay home and keep the miss company?”

Aunt Chen was willing to go all out to help Song Qingtian.

She even compared it to the past.

But Ling Hanyu just chuckled lightly.

That was the past—back then, Song Qingtian would do anything for the one she loved, even abandoning her own daughter.

But now, Song Qingtian would give up her daughter’s life just to save herself.

What does a man matter, anyway?

“Aunt Chen, I lost my temper today. You can go back now—Mrs. Song and I will be fine.”

“Then… the young madam won’t leave?”

“No.”

Ling Hanyu looked up toward the upper floor, ready to go find Song Qingtian.

He went upstairs and knocked on the door.

No one answered.

Ling Hanyu patiently knocked again.

Still no answer.

Aunt Chen grew anxious, standing downstairs and watching nervously.

Ling Hanyu knocked once more before saying, “Let’s talk. I was in the wrong today—I’m sorry!”

Downstairs, Aunt Chen was dumbfounded.

Mr. Ling apologized?

What big news!

“Open the door!”

Ling Hanyu’s tone was commanding, but not overly loud—his voice remained gentle.

Yet inside, there was still no response.

Aunt Chen, growing increasingly anxious, said, “Sir, I have the key.”

Ling Hanyu glanced at her: “Hand it over.”

Aunt Chen hurriedly fetched the key and personally carried it upstairs.

Ling Hanyu unlocked the door and stepped inside. The bedroom was completely empty.

All the building blocks on the floor had been neatly put away.

Standing in the doorway, Ling Hanyu surveyed the room—and found that the person was gone.

From the window, a draft blew in.

“The young madam… has left?”

Aunt Chen stood outside the door, utterly shocked.

Ling Hanyu’s expression darkened as he went over to take a look.

Sure enough, the curtains were drawn together tightly.

Turning around, Ling Hanyu quickly rushed downstairs and jumped into his car to give chase.

Aunt Chen also hurried out, running after Song Qingtian.

Meanwhile, Song Qingtian was hugging Ling Nuonuo, who was wearing a baby outfit, while shielding her from the bathroom.

Ling Nuonuo looked up at Song Qingtian and asked, “Mommy… are we safe now?”

“Sort of. But we’re only halfway through the plan—mommy still has to carry out the next step. Don’t say a word for now.”

“Okay!”

Ling Nuonuo wanted to leave with Mommy, clutching her clothes tightly with both little hands. She was wearing the new outfit Mommy had prepared for her—cool and beautiful.

Just now, when Mommy opened the window and drew the curtains, Ling Nuonuo thought they were going to escape through the window.

But Mommy explained that it was just a ruse to fool Daddy.

Because jumping out the window would be dangerous and slow.

Besides, Mommy said she couldn’t just abandon her toys, clothes, and other belongings.

Buying new ones would be a waste of money, and they needed to be thrifty.

Song Qingtian took the packed suitcase out of the bathroom and led her daughter downstairs.

Once outside, she drove off in a car.
