Upon seeing her facial expression change, Qiao Haidong added fuel to the fire: “Yinyin, it’s not that your dad doesn’t feel for you, but Lingche doesn’t want this child either! You can’t possibly raise a child alone, right? It’s pitiful for a child to grow up without a father’s love.”
“I overheard him telling Madam Lu this morning that he only wanted a child from Miss Lan. He made it clear that he only cared about Miss Lan, and you were just a substitute.”
“Listen to your dad’s advice, go and get an abortion. Since you’re divorcing Lingche anyway, isn’t it better to part ways gracefully?”
“Madam Lu has already prepared the money. As long as you’re willing to terminate the pregnancy, we can get a hefty sum. Madam Lu is really generous, which other mother-in-law would give you this much money?”
He kept on rambling but all Qiao Yin wanted to do was laugh.
Laugh at his ignorance.
Because she couldn’t even be considered as a substitute for Lan Yuyi.
She had once secretly imitated Lan Yuyi’s dressing style and tried to mimic her personality, even her tone of voice.
But it was all in vain, as Lu Lingche never noticed her.
As soon as Lan Yuyi became pregnant, he immediately decided to divorce her, utterly indifferent to her feelings and thoughts.
Her only role, it seemed, was to meet his certain needs in the night that Lan Yuyi could not fulfill.
He was in love with Lan Yuyi to the bone, so much so that he could not even bear to touch her.
Thinking this, Qiao Yin took a deep breath and said, “Dad, return the money.”
“What?!”
“I’m telling you to return one million to Madam Lu! If you don’t, this will be the last time I call you dad.”
To ask Qiao Haidong to return the money was akin to asking for his life.
He shook his head repeatedly: “I can’t. I’ve already used this money to repay debts. We still owe millions at home! Yinyin, don’t be stubborn, listen to me. End the pregnancy, take the remaining money, and there will be better days ahead!”
“So, you’d rather sever our father-daughter relationship than stop me from aborting the child for the sake of your money?”
“When did I ever say that I wanted to cut ties with you? Can’t you stop portraying me as the bad guy? Isn’t this for your own good?”
“If it really was for my sake, you would return the money. Trading an unborn child for money, don’t you think that’s conscienceless?”
Madam Lu listened to their argument and felt impatient: “Qiao Yin, what do you want exactly? How much money do you want, just name a price. Wasn’t your marriage to the Lu family just for money anyway? What moral high ground are you trying to take now?”
Qiao Yin felt a surge of blood, and a faint pain started in her lower abdomen again.
Her condition wasn’t good, and emotional fluctuations might cause her to bleed again.
“I don’t want money, I just want all of you out of my sight.”
“You don’t want money? Could it be that you still plan to keep the child in your belly to keep my son?”
Madam Lu scorned her without hesitation: “Don’t fool yourself, Lingche isn’t into you at all. Even if you bore him hundreds of children, he wouldn’t give you a second look. He won’t care for the child you birthed. What are you holding onto?”
Qiao Yin looked at her coldly. Had Madam Lu come alone today, without bringing Qiao Haidong or giving him money, she might have considered an abortion.
Now that money was involved, the nature of the matter had changed!
She indeed wanted to divorce Lu Lingche, but she wanted it to be as dignified as possible.
“Madam Lu, money doesn’t buy everything. Your plan to use money to resolve everything won’t work with me. Tell your bodyguards to step aside, don’t stand in my way! Or else, don’t blame me if I’m not polite!”
“Hmph, are you going to prick people with a needle again?”
Madam Lu confidently replied: “I’ve already prepared for your tricks.. Did you even notice what my bodyguards are wearing today? Do you think your needles can penetrate it?”
