“You! Fine, you, you, always quick with your sharp tongue!”
Madam Lu’s face turned pale then flushed as she clutched her head and slumped back down, “My blood pressure! Lingche, get my medicine quickly!”
Lu Lingche handed her the medicine and water, helped her to take it, and then looked solemnly at Qiao Yin, “You’re trying to enrage my mother to death? Qiao Yin, the Lu Family has treated you well. Don’t go too far!”
Qiao Yin felt the irony, “Treated me well? What has the Lu Family given me? Haven’t I been the one making all the sacrifices for the past three months of our marriage? I resigned from my job to take care of your household chores, settled everything for you, how did you treat me? Who is the one going too far?”
“I never asked you to quit your job. It was you who was too lazy to work. Don’t pin this on me.”
“Me, lazy? I had a promising future too, Lu Lingche! It was your mother who forbade me from going out to work, saying that a good wife should stay at home and take care of the children!”
Madam Lu looked disgusted, “I told you not to work, so you just didn’t? I never saw you be this obedient. You clearly just want to enjoy the lavish life of a daughter-in-law in the Lu Family. And you make it sound so noble. You’re really thick-skinned.”
She held her son’s hand sympathetically and said, “Son, divorce her quickly. This kind of woman is not worth it. It’s all the Old Madam’s fault, insisting that you marry her. I disagreed from the start, she’s from a humble family, she can’t match you at all. My poor son.”
The more Madame Lu spoke, the more the fire in Qiao Yin’s heart blazed. It burned her heart till it hurt, “Madam Lu seems to have forgotten that divorce matters to both parties. You don’t really think that Lu Lingche wants a divorce, so I will obediently cooperate, do you?”
“What do you mean? You refuse to divorce?”
“Why should I divorce? Didn’t you say it? I enjoy the cushy life of Lu Family’s daughter-in-law.”
“Qiao Yin, you will never enjoy anything from the Lu Family again, including this villa. You won’t stay here for another day!”
“Well, then I’ll just expose my marriage with Lu Lingche to the media. By the way, I’ll also leak that he had an affair during our marriage. Guess who with? His dead elder brother’s fiancée. She’s even pregnant with his illegitimate child. The evidence is solid as a rock. Madam Lu, do you think this news is explosive enough? How much face will the Lu Family lose? How much will the stock price of Shengling Group fall?”
Madam Lu looked horrified and angry, “Lingche, you heard that, didn’t you? She is truly malicious. She wants to ruin you, she wants to destroy our Lu Family! You’ve brought home a hellish woman. All her previous gentle and tranquil temperament was fake, even the Old Madam was fooled by her beautiful but hypocritical appearance!”
Lu Lingche was also surprised. Qiao Yin had never spoken like this before. She had always been quiet and obedient, good-natured like a doll. Now, she was like a different person, even threatening them.
He said coldly, “Qiao Yin, what do you want, just say it. No need to beat about the bush.”
Looking at his handsome, indifferent face, Qiao Yin felt as if her heart was bleeding. Yet, she managed to say, “Divorce settlement. I want one billion!”
“What?!”
Madam Lu was so angry that she turned pale, “One billion? Why don’t you just go rob a bank? We Lu Family can afford this one billion, but have you taken a look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you’re worth one billion?!”
“Whether I’m worth one billion or not, I’m not sure. But Lan Yuyi and the child in her belly definitely are. I’ll take one billion, not a penny less.”
“You’re dreaming!”
“You don’t want to pay but still want a divorce? You’re the ones dreaming!”
