Chapter 257: Bootlicker
As long as she has the Lu family's child, she can then inherit the Lu family's fortune!
Perhaps even, the child could inherit all of the Lu family's wealth in the future, and then the Qiao family would become exceedingly wealthy!
As for what Lan Yuyi said about Lu Lingche not glancing at any other woman, he did not believe it at all.
Lu Lingche, while having the beautiful Qiao Yin, had an affair with Lan Yuyi, how could he possibly be faithful to the plain Lan Yuyi for his whole life?
Once an affair happens, there tends to be a second time. He is a man; he knows men far better than Lan Yuyi does!
However, though he had a crafty plan in his mind, he spoke differently: "Yes, yes, yes, Lingche's admiration for Miss Lan is as clear as day and night, where would any other woman fit into Lingche's realm of consideration?"
"Miss Lan is so gentle and cultured, she comes from an established, well-respected family, my niece is just a rustic 'steamed bun', what could she possibly compete with you with? She is entirely overestimating her own abilities!"
"Madam Lu and Miss Lan, please rest assured, I will definitely scold my niece when I get back, I will scold Qiao Yin, I will forbid them from seeking out Lingche. If they refuse to listen still, then I will use force until they obey."
Madam Lu finally showed a satisfied smile: "Qiao Haidong, you are indeed a man who knows the times. If only Qiao Yin had even a fraction of your cunning, I may not have gotten so annoyed with her."
"Yes, that foolish girl is indeed irritating. Speaking shamefully, after her mother passed away, she was raised by her grandmother. I was busy running the company every day and neglected my duty in disciplining her, her grandmother spoiled her too much and it lead to her growing up with bad habits."
Qiao Haidong cleaned his hands of everything, seeing Madam Lu was in a good mood he quickly took the opportunity to speak while the iron is hot: "I am planning to go into business with someone recently, my funds are a bit tight. Madam, could you... help me?"
Madam Lu's smile disappeared instantly: "What kind of business are you planning this time? In my opinion, you simply don't have what it takes to run a business. Otherwise, your pharmaceutical company wouldn't have gone bankrupt."
Qiao Haidong swore defiantly: "This time the business is absolutely reliable and sure to make money. Please support me a bit. Otherwise, I will always be in debt, even when I have dinner with you, you would have to pay, which would make me feel so burdened."
Madam Lu thought it over and concluded that she should give him a small benefit, which might help get him on her side in the future while dealing with Qiao Yin.
"Fine, I will lend you one million, but you need to draft a promissory note with interest."
Qiao Haidong was dumbfounded: "Only one million?"
"What do you mean 'only one million'? Do you not even see one million as money anymore? Lending you one million is already kind, there is no more."
"No, Madam Lu, this one million is simply too little!"
Qiao Haidong feigned desperation: "Nowadays, to do business usually requires tens of millions, could you please give me a bit more? When I have money, I will definitely repay you in full with interest."
"Could you please help me out? I am really finding it difficult right now, the debt collectors are driving me to the end, you have such a kind heart, could you save me from the fire and water?"
"I will repay your kindness with my service, I will do whatever you ask, please give me a bit more money. My life recently is entirely engulfed in darkness; you are the only light in it. The only reason I am begging you like this is because I genuinely have no other options."
Qiao Haidong repeatedly pleaded with her in a flattering way, sometimes adding food to her plate, sometimes pouring her tea attentively, he even knelt down beside her to massage her leg and relax her, he was extremely attentive.
If Lan Yuyi wasn't present, he would probably lick her boots even more.
However, Madam Lu didn't find his flatteries distasteful at all, she even somewhat enjoyed being put on a pedestal.
In the Lu family, her husband scolded her, her mother-in-law found fault with her, even her son talked coldly to her, no one cherished her.
Only when she was outside, she could experience the feeling of being superior to others, to explore the pleasure of being the First Madam of the Lu Family.
