Chapter 213: She Doesn't Like Me
On their way home.
The old madam sat in the car, looking at the defined profile of her grandson, and sighed deeply: “Lingche, are you still planning to divorce Yinyin? She’s such a good child, why did you fall for that Lan Yuyi? Isn’t Yinyin a hundred times better than her?”
“I won’t divorce her…for now.”
“For now? You still want to divorce Yinyin?”
“It’s not me, I’m afraid she doesn’t want to be with me anymore.”
The old madam snorted coldly: “You’ve caused so much trouble, no one can live with you! I told you to tell Lan Yuyi to get rid of the child, but you refused to listen to me. Now it’s too late. You ended up having an illegitimate child, how impressive!”
Lu Lingche knew that the responsibility for this was all on him. When the old madam scolded him, he didn’t make a sound.
“Do you still think Yinyin married you for money? The bracelet I gave her, you adamantly claimed she’d sell it to fill the Qiao Family’s financial hole, and now? Did she sell it? Did she fix the Qiao Family’s problems?”
“No, she didn’t sell it.”
Lu Lingche’s heart began to waver when she returned the bracelet to him.
She accepted the old madam’s gifts without hesitation, taking everything. He thought she had become avaricious.
But if she really was avaricious, it would have been impossible for her to return the bracelet. After all, it was the most valuable thing. The rest were just trinkets compared to it.
The old madam begged him tenderly: “Don’t always assume everyone’s out to get you. What do you young people call it? Paranoid? You are so overbearing, so full of yourself, that’s why you fell for a woman like Lan Yuyi. If you were a bit modest, and controlled your temper a bit, life would not be like this.”
Lu Lingche frowned: “I didn’t fall for Lan Yuyi, what are you talking about? The one who fell for her was my elder brother, not me.”
“She was your elder brother’s fiancee, your elder brother’s woman! If your elder brother fell for his own woman, that’s not a trap, that’s love!”
“And what is this? Huh? Your sister-in-law carries your child, causing your marriage to break down, causing uproar everywhere, with the entire Lu Family losing face because of you, and your wife almost left. Isn’t that a trap?”
“I’m telling you, even if Yinyin divorces you, she can easily find another man. Good girls don’t worry about finding husbands! You’d better hold onto her, or else, you’ll regret it one day!”
Lu Lingche couldn’t help but think back to when he saw Qiao Yin in Dongfang Mu’s office.
No words could describe how he felt at that moment.
For the first time, he clearly realized that he actually had a strong possessiveness towards her.
So, despite her resistance, he took her away from Dongfang Mu’s place.
Still, his grandmother’s nagging echoed in his ear.
“Lingche, Yinyin really likes you. She married you not for the money. She’s not that kind of person. Can’t you see this?”
Lu Lingche sneered: “She doesn’t like me.”
“How do you know she doesn’t like you?”
“Nobody would like someone like me, aren’t you all the same? You all only like my elder brother.”
“Nonsense, how could I not like you? If I didn’t like you, would I have asked for Yinyin’s hand for you? Do you think I just don’t care who I choose for you? I watched Yinyin for five years, five years! She’s the best girl I’ve ever met, which is why I had the audacity to ask her grandmother for her hand in marriage!”
The old madam got angry, her voice louder than usual: “I could have given her to your elder brother, right? Your elder brother knew Lan Yuyi back then, but they were not in a relationship! If it wasn’t for pitying you and wanting you to live a good life, would I give this precious girl to you?”
Lu Lingche didn’t speak.
It was true that his grandmother sincerely loved him a little bit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have listened to her and married Qiao Yin.
With his rebelliousness, if anyone else had forced him to marry, he would never have agreed.
However, he still didn’t believe that Qiao Yin liked him.
She used to pretend, treating him with courtesy and gentleness, but now she doesn’t bother to pretend anymore. Every day, she seemed one step away from wearing her disgust with him on her face..
