Qiao Yin was stunned by the figure before asking: “One million?”
Lu Lingche frowned: “Too little? In addition to this money, I’m going to help the Qiao Family establish a new company. Don’t be too greedy.”
Qiao Yin previously asked for one billion, clearly an intentional inconvenience for him; she didn’t want that much.
As long as the amount he offered today was reasonable, she was willing to sign the divorce agreement, because she wanted to sever ties with Lu Lingche and avoid being toyed with by Lan Yuyi.
But his offer of one million was undoubtedly a humiliation.
She clenched her teeth and spat out: “One million? You’re treating me like a beggar! I told you, I want one billion. Not one penny less or you can forget about the divorce.”
Lu Lingche found her indignant look somewhat amusing.
Having known her for so long, she’d never lost her temper, always careful and eager to please him and the Lu family. It was obvious she was an easy target for him to bully, and he did so relentlessly.
Now, she was articulate and forceful, revealing her sharp edges.
This was the real her!
Lu Lingche’s tone was indifferent: “Qiao Yin, you played the virtuous and gentle woman quite well. Now that you want a divorce, your true face has been revealed. If you weren’t getting divorced, would you continue this charade? Don’t you find the real you terrifying?”
Qiao Yin was shaking with rage: “How dare you say I’m terrifying? Isn’t the terrifying one you?”
She flung the folder at him and stormed out.
It had been five years since they met. This was the first time she’d lost her temper with him.
Initially, she didn’t dare confront him, then she liked him too much to be resentful. From now on, that wouldn’t be the case.
He had humiliated her, right?
So, his precious Lan Yuyi, pregnant and all, would just have to wait a bit longer!
Let’s see who’s more impatient about this!
The folder hit his chest, causing a sting that also left him slightly dazed.
No one had ever dared to strike him like this, let alone Qiao Yin who used to adoringly put him on a pedestal. Her gentleness was all an act!
Yuanshan was also taken aback. This was the first time he’d seen Qiao Yin lose her temper.
Picking up the folder, he couldn’t help saying: “President Lu, I don’t think the mistress can’t bear leaving you. It’s not that she doesn’t want to divorce you, one million is just too little. I think fifty million should suffice. She needs the money now, so maybe…”
Lu Lingche’s expression went cold quickly: “Who asked for your opinion? Get out!”
The assistant scrambled to leave: “Yes, yes, I’ll leave right now!”
“Get back here!”
The assistant promptly returned: “President Lu, your command.”
“How’s the progress on the surveillance video at home?”
“We consulted with an expert who said it got infected by a virus and can’t be restored. However, according to the expert, the person who did this isn’t proficient with computers and couldn’t find the video’s root directory. So they didn’t delete the video but used a virus to compromise it – a quicker and easier solution requiring just a flash-drive.”
That information essentially said nothing. Both Qiao Yin and Lan Yuyi knew nothing about computers and this wasn’t enough to decipher who tampered with the footage.
“Get the car. We’re going home.”
“President Lu, are you going to restore the video footage yourself?”
“We shall see.”
However, when they reached home, they found Qiao Yin already there, sitting in front of the home office computer.
Lu Lingche’s chest ached where he’d been struck and he looked displeased: “What are you doing?”
Qiao Yin didn’t expect him to return right after she had, and realized they had the same idea: “Did you also come to check the surveillance?”
Didn’t this show that Lu Lingche didn’t entirely trust Lan Yuyi?
At least he was using some brains.
But Lu Lingche walked over to her, seizing her wrist: “Are you trying to delete the video?”
