Chapter 258: What is Lu Lingche's Aesthetic?
Although Qiao Haidong was over forty this year, he looked like he was only in his thirties, his face devoid of any wrinkles and his hair dense and black.
He was rather tall, with a well-maintained physique, handsome features, and had a warm masculinity in his meticulous care for others.
Those unaware of his true character could never imagine that he was a scum of a man, rotten to the core.
The worse the man, the more deceptive they can be.
When had came to sweet-talking women, Qiao Haidong would humiliate himself to the dirt, an act other men wouldn't be able to compete with even after a hundred years of practice.
By the end of this meal, Qiao Haidong had successfully secured a five-million loan.
Although he was still not satisfied, thinking that Madam Lu was too stingy, he still pretended to be elated, gratefully shaking Madam Lu's hand, continuously complimenting and thanking her.
Madam Lu was quite pleased. She slowly pulled her hand back, raised her head, and left with Lan Yuyi.
The moment she left, Qiao Haidong's expression changed.
He drove home with a gloomy face.
Looking at the extra five million in his account, he cursed angrily, "That old hag is hard to trick. I waited on her so attentively, and she only gave me five million! Does she think I'm begging?!".
Qiao Lainan and a few others were staying at his villa. Hearing his words, they all gathered around.
"Eldest Uncle, what's wrong? Who are you talking about? Isn't five million enough? People in our village can't earn five million in a lifetime!"
Qiao Haidong glanced at them, irritably retorting, "What do you guys understand? In the city, five million can't do much. The Lu family is so wealthy, Madam Lu is being too stingy. She should at least give me ten million!"
Seeing him angry, Qiao Lainan hurried over to comfort him, "You're right, Eldest Uncle. It's all Madam Lu's fault, she's too small-minded. As her closest in-law, she should be giving you twenty or thirty million, not just ten!"
Qiao Haidong nodded his head in agreement, "Exactly!"
"However, Eldest Uncle, I think this has little to do with you. It might be my cousin... she must have offended Madam Lu. Today, when I visited my brother-in-law, my cousin went too. Madam Lu seemed to really dislike her, and me as well, by extension."
Sitting on the sofa, Qiao Haidong seethed, "Yes, blame it all on Qiao Yin! If it wasn't for her ruining the relationship, would I need to humble myself so much?"
Qiao Lainan tried to soothe him in a soft voice, "Eldest Uncle, calm down. Once I get my brother-in-law's contact, I'm sure I can help improve your relationship with the Lu family."
Finally, Qiao Haidong repressed his anger and got down to business, "Speaking of which, you went to meet Lu Lingche today. How did it go? Did you notice if he treated you differently from others?"
Qiao Lainan certainly didn't want to admit that Lu Lingche had been indifferent to her. Until now, he hadn't even said a word to her.
Her cheeks blushed as she feigned shyness, "I don't know how my brother-in-law treats others, but he was looking at my face all the time today. Eldest Uncle, you were right, he seems to like my type."
In fact, Qiao Haidong was not at all certain about what type Lu Lingche actually preferred.
Because from his aesthetic perspective, Qiao Yin was far more attractive than Lan Yuyi. He had assumed that Lu Lingche's affair with Lan Yuyi was just due to a craving for novelty.
Unexpectedly, he really did prefer this type.
He couldn't help but scorn internally, not understanding Lu Lingche's taste for bland-looking women.
However, it was also possible that Lu Lingche preferred women of a gentle disposition, unlike Qiao Yin's prickly personality.
"Alright, as long as he likes you, that's all that matters. I have a plan here that can quickly get you married into the Lu family. Are you willing?"
