However, Lu Lingche merely mentioned it and said no more, after all, she was my elder brother’s most beloved woman when he was alive.
“Yuanshan, make sure she gets home safely.”
The assistant gave a nod and then extended his hand in a polite gesturing motion towards Lan Yuyi.
Lan Yuyi’s face was pale. She dared not persist, lest she mess things up. She had no choice but to leave.
Once Lan Yuyi left, Lu Lingche headed upstairs.
In the bedroom, the quilt on the bed was still stained with Qiao Yin’s blood, and the trash can on the side was filled with the brand new dress he had prepared for her.
Lu Lingche’s face darkened.
Qiao Yin actually threw the new dress he had prepared for her into the trash?
He shouldn’t have taken care of her last night!
And he certainly shouldn’t have pitied her and prepared breakfast and clothes for her!
How could there be a woman like her in this world, such an ungrateful pretender!
If he takes care of her again in future, he’ll disown his family name!
He was still fuming when his mobile phone rang.
As soon as he picked it up, Madam Lu’s livid voice filled his ears. “Lingche, what happened? How did the media find out about your marriage to Qiao Yin?! It must’ve been Qiao Yin who leaked it. That b*tch, she’s out to ruin you and the entire Lu family!”
Lu Lingche was taken aback, “The story leaked? Was it done by Qiao Yin?”
“Who else could it be? Those media vultures took my money, and yet they had the audacity to expose our family affairs! Shameless! Now, get someone to contact the media and denounce it as a rumor right away. Ensure it’s clarified that you are single, single! Or if Qiao Yin exposes your affair with Yuyi, you’re done for! Yuyi will be finished too!”
Lu Lingche found it strange, “Isn’t Qiao Yin planning to use this as a bargaining chip to extract money from me? If this gets out, how can she profit?”
“She’s issuing a warning, can’t you see? Regarding the marriage, if we Lu family outright deny her, she has no leverage. But Yuyi is the key to evidence. If we don’t give her money, she’ll definitely continue to expose us!”
Lu Lingche remained non-committal.
He was about to hang up the phone, but then he heard Madam Lu start to sob about how she was beaten by the Old Madam last night.
Of course, in the end, she still couldn’t refrain from cursing Qiao Yin.
He had already learned about the entire sequence of events from the housekeeper.
Lu Lingche didn’t understand what was going on lately. It seemed that ever since the day he proposed divorce to Qiao Yin, everything began spinning out of control.
The Lu family had sunk into unprecedented chaos, making a fuss again.
“Yuyi saw the news today too. With your marriage to Qiao Yin being exposed, she’s the biggest victim. Go comfort her a bit, don’t let her feel lonely.”
“Is it the first day she knows I’m married to Qiao Yin?”
“It’s not the first day she knows, but it’s the first day the public knows! Didn’t you already agree to marry her? Can she stand the exposure at this time that Qiao Yin is your wife? She must be at home crying her heart out, go see her. She’s pregnant, her mood is unstable, and excessive crying is not good for the baby.”
“She’s not crying, she just left here, she’s in good spirits. Don’t fabricate her emotions for her.”
After Lu Lingche hung up Madam Lu’s call, he went to the study, turned on the computer, and started browsing the news.
The headlines of major media outlets had all become gossips about his marriage to Qiao Yin.
The trending topic had exploded, with countless people discussing this matter.
The news didn’t expose Qiao Yin’s photo, only her name, but that was enough to ignite public opinion.
He made a call to Qiao Yin.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
“Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?”
“Did you leak the news about our marriage?”
“Yes, it was me.”
Upon hearing her admit it herself, Lu Lingche nonetheless, found it hard to believe, “So it really was you? Weren’t you supposed to take advantage of this to blackmail me for a billion dollars for the divorce? You don’t actually think that after revealing this, I will still pay you the settlement, right?”
Qiao Yin’s voice was cold, “I don’t want the money anymore..”
