“Second Sister-in-law, you were trending yesterday and the dress you were wearing became a hit! Now many people are searching for the same design. My friend told me early this morning that the dress you borrowed, which was genuine, was returned and immediately bought by someone.”
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but pick up a piece of fabric.
Yes, it was the remnants of the dress she had borrowed yesterday.
What the hell?
Who returned the identical dress for her?
Hadn’t the stylist who provided her the dress stated that it was the only one in the country, hence, no one else would have the same one?
Only Lu Lingche knew that her dress had been torn to shreds.
Could it be that he found the same dress and returned it on her behalf?
Would he be so kind?
Qiao Yin hastily ended the call with Lu Yanxi, bit her lip, and tentatively sent Lu Lingche a message.
“Lu Lingche, are you sick or what?”
1Q11
“You’ve already returned the gown for me, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Why should I tell you?”
“It really was you?!”
“Who else could it be? Dongfang Mu?”
Qiao Yin didn’t know whether to thank him or curse him.
He was bringing up Dongfang Mu again. Dongfang Mu had no idea her dress was ruined, so how could he possibly find an identical one and return it?
No, why should she thank him? He was the one who tore up the dress; it was only right for him to compensate.
However, he returned the dress for her without saying a word, leaving her anxious. He really wasn’t a decent person.
“Qiao Yin, you should give up as soon as possible. Dongfang Mu will never marry you, he’s just playing with you.”
“You can search for the news yourself. He’s often in the gossip headlines, frequently taking various women to bars. I warn you, you’re not allowed to go with him.”
“His family is currently arranging his marriage with the daughter of the Cui Family. The Dongfang Family definitely plans to form a marriage alliance with a large family. You’re not suited.”
Tianyun City has four top-tier wealthy families. Ranked first is the Lu Family, followed by the Dongfang Family, the Gu Family, and the Cui Family.
Marriage alliances between wealthy families are normal. Although the Cui Family is ranked last, they hold a great influence in the political scene, and their worth can’t simply be measured by money alone.
Qiao Yin didn’t care who Dongfang Mu marries, he was just her boss after all.
However, she didn’t like Lu Lingche’s last sentence, so she retorted, “If I’m not suited to marry Dongfang Mu, but I married you, it seems like you’re not all that great either. You’re far worse than Dongfang Mu.”
After sending the message, she shut down her phone, ignoring whatever Lu Lingche might respond.
Because her words would surely infuriate Lu Lingche. He hated being compared to others the most; he definitely wouldn’t have anything nice to say.
It seemed like she was only pissing him off more and more.
The visible marks on her body meant Qiao Yin had no choice but to apply some ointment.
He had been like a madman last night. Although he had eventually become gentle, her wrist still showed the bruise from his grip. At a glance, an unknowing person might think she was wearing a jade bracelet!
After applying the ointment and finishing lunch, Qiao Yin took a cab to the auction house.
Taking a cab every day is not sustainable, it’s too expensive. She needed to buy a vehicle for commuting.
Sitting in her office, she checked out some second-hand car websites, sighed, and shook her head.
Nothing suitable.
“Yan Xi, do you know anyone selling used cars?”
“What’s up, Second Sister-in-law, you want to buy a car?”
“It’s too inconvenient without a car. Can you ask your friends if there are any cheap cars available?”
“You’ve definitely come to the right person then. The used car market is really murky now, you have to be careful not to buy a used car that’s had an accident. I have a friend who’s selling a car, let me ask him for you.”
Right after Lu Yanxi’s statement, she opened WeChat and texted Lu Lingche: “Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law doesn’t have a car. Aren’t you going to gift one to her?”
“No.”
“Why were you so generous giving Lan Yuyi a necklace, but you don’t want to give Second Sister-in-law a car?”
“The necklace for Lan Yuyi wasn’t from me, it was from our eldest brother..”
