Chapter 508: Chapter 508: She Chose Dongfang Mu
Dongfang Mu had already stood up while he was still speaking. He smiled and blocked Lu Lingche’s path. “President Lu, you can’t just steal my people without a word. That’s not fair, is it?”
Lu Lingche looked at him coldly. “Your people?”
“Of course. Qiao Yin is my assistant. It’s an important position. You casually take her away without explaining to me. Is that really okay?”
“She is not your person. I don’t have to explain anything to you for taking her with me. Move aside!”
“She’s not yours, so she must belong to President Lu, right? As far as I can remember, the bride at the national sensation of your wedding yesterday seemed to have the last name Lan. If you insist on taking Qiao Yin, don’t you think people would confuse her with your bride of yesterday’s ceremony?”
As Dongfang Mu spoke, he tightly grabbed Qiao Yin’s wrist and pulled her behind him.
Qiao Yin was taken aback.
She always knew Lu Lingche to be assertive, but she had never expected the usually gentle and gentlemanly Dongfang Mu to show such assertiveness today, abruptly yanking her back!
Could it be that Lu Lingche was upset because Dongfang Mu had snatched his project from him?
However, she didn’t want to provoke either of them, but comparatively speaking, Dongfang Mu was a gentleman, and she had no issues with him, so she’d rather stand on his side.
Thus, she pulled her hand from Dongfang Mu’s grip and stood behind him.
Lu Lingche’s face turned cold as ice upon seeing her action. “Qiao Yin, come over here!”
Qiao Yin responds coldly: “President Lu, I am currently at work. Please do not disturb me. If you behave like this in front of everyone, they will think I am the mistress who is wrecking your marriage. I do not want to bear such an infamous name, please mind your conduct!”
Mind my conduct?
She dared tell him to mind his conduct?
She was clearly his woman!
His fury boiled and could not be suppressed. A lingering feeling of heartache surfaced; she was unwilling to go with him, unwilling to stand together with him.
She had chosen Dongfang Mu!
So, this was what it felt like to be abandoned?
She looked at him so indifferently, while Dongfang Mu, standing in front of her, wore a disgusting smile of triumph.
Hadn’t he already given her a divorce settlement of fifty million?
Didn’t she love money the most?
Why was she still unwilling to go with him?
He had already explained the reasons and the consequences of his marriage to Lan Yuyi, hadn’t he?
Did she not believe him?
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness and panic welled up in his heart. She was drifting further and further away from him, as if she would disappear at any moment.
He pushed away the annoying Dongfang Mu and grabbed Qiao Yin’s wrist again: “It’s almost seven o’clock. It’s time for you to get off work. It’s time to go home!”
Qiao Yin tried to break free, but his grip was too tight, so hard that it hurt her.
She became annoyed, looked up at him, and said in a low voice, “Let go. Do you want me to lose my job? Haven’t you ruined my life enough? Go find Lan Yuyi, don’t look for me!”
The anger in Lu Lingche’s chest burned, his heart aching: “Come with me, you are not allowed to work here anymore! Will you walk out with me, or should I carry you out?”
Qiao Yin was so angry she felt like cursing. He was becoming more and more absurd. Who would follow him? He was the one who didn’t want her; he had already made his choice, was he regretting it now?
Before she could struggle, Lu Lingche had lost his patience. He scooped her up in his arms.
Qiao Yin was frantic, hitting him: “Lu Lingche, put me down! I can walk myself!”
“Too late.”
Lu Lingche said harshly, one hand lifting her bag, the other firm on her waist, he carried her into the elevator.
The assistants and bodyguards quickly followed suit.
With the elevator doors closing, the completely astonished Dongfang Qi finally came back to his senses: “Cousin, who exactly is your assistant? How did she manage to hook up with Lu Lingche?”
