Lu Nanze was smiling.
Qiao Yi, on the other hand, was rocking back and forth with laughter. “Second Brother, you’re too funny! There’s a completely different side of you! So what happened in the end? What about Sister?”
Lu Nanze cast his gaze downward and said after a pause, “You’ll have to ask your sister.”
At those words and following the direction of Lu Nanze’s gaze, Qiao Yi turned around and saw Qiao Lian standing at the doorway.
He immediately stood up to greet her. “Sister, you’re here! Second Brother suddenly turned up this morning, I was surprised! But after so many years without meeting, he has become a lot more humorous than before!”
In the past, Qiao Yi liked to tag along wherever his sister went, so Lu Nanze had been unfriendly with him.
After growing up, Qiao Yi had realized that at the time Lu Nanze had liked his sister and, because he would never leave her alone, Lu Nanze would find ways to fend him off.
Hence from a young age, Qiao Yi had always revered but also feared Lu Nanze.
Now though, seeing the man again, he felt a certain affection towards him.
Qiao Lian pursed her lips and stared at Lu Nanze. Seeing that he wasn’t going to speak, she smiled and asked, “What were you chatting about?”
Qiao Yi was laughing so hard that he was almost in tears. “We were talking about you… and the strong sense of self-interest you had, even as a child. Dad doted on you, but Second Brother managed to bribe you with candy! He asked you once, when he visited our house, who you liked more, dad or him, and you said Second Brother! Hahaha… Back then, I’m sure dad was especially stumped!”
At this point, Qiao Lian threw Lu Nanze a look.
At the time, they had been family friends.
However as they grew up, the Lu Family business prospered and they got stronger and stronger.
On the other hand, the Qiao Family business was maintained steadily without any exceptional development.
Which was why they went bankrupt just because of a commercial property.
During their childhood, she, Second Brother, Sun Tzi and a few others had been indeed quite close.
But that was then, and this is now.
She made some movements with her right hand and shoved her fingers into her pocket, as a look of precaution flashed across her eyes.
Then she sat down to chat with them.
After a short time, Qiao Yi very tactfully threw a meaningful glance at them and said, “Sister, please continue chatting without me. I have to go to my rehabilitation training now.”
Before Qiao Lian could object to it, Lu Nanze nodded and said, “Yes, hurry up and get better so that you can go back to school.”
Qiao Yi nodded and turned to walk away.
After Qiao Yi was gone, Qiao Lian looked at Lu Nanze with an icy expression and asked, “Why are you here?”
With a confident smile still hanging on his face, he said, “To take you home with me.”
Frowning deeply, Qiao Lian said, “I’m already married.”
“Get a divorce then.”
She looked at him sharply and spoke, “Lu Nanze, what do you mean by this?”
The man raised an eyebrow and said, “What I meant, was… I like you, ever since I was a child I’ve liked you. You’re mine!”
He sprang up from his seat and said, “Qiao Lian, how could you marry someone else?
He extended his hand and reached out to grip her wrist.
There was much grievance and distress in his tone when he said this.
It made him look pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.
Qiao Lian knew, however, that the man before her would never be pitiful, ever.
He was strong, confident and overbearing.
Qiao Lian bit her lip and said, “I will go back, but not now. Furthermore, I’ve never thought of getting a divorce.”
“Qiao Lian!”
His warning tone was infused with anger.
From looking pitiful, Lu Nanze’s expression had changed in a flash, and now it was obvious that he was overflowing with anger.
Staring straight at him, she clenched her fists and told him, “The only person I like is Shen Liangchuan.”
