Qiao Yin stared at him in shock.
All at once, she realized something: “Lu Lingche, ever since your elder brother died, have you been living for him? Doing everything to appease his departed soul, avoiding actions that might displease him?”
Lu Lingche fell silent for a moment before admitting, “Yeah, somewhat.”
Qiao Yin found it surreal and hard to believe.
It was incredible that Lu Lingche, a man so proud and self-centered, was living for his elder brother!
He said ‘somewhat’, but it was more than just that!
After Lu Shengqing’s death, he had become a taboo subject. She used to upset him just by mentioning his name.
Although he’s better now, he’s still stuck in the past!
But what does all of this have to do with her?
After the shock, Qiao Yin suppressed all her emotions.
In a gentle voice, she said, “Lu Lingche, your brother’s death has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to feel guilty or live in remorse. You don’t have to live for him. Be yourself. Go home.”
“I only wanted to see you tonight.” he responded.
“But I don’t want to see you, not just tonight, but hopefully never again. You have your path, and I have mine. Please, keep away from my life from now on.”
Lu Lingche tried to hold her hand, but she avoided him. In a low voice, he asked, “Are you really so heartless towards me?”
“No, Lu Lingche, you are the last person in the world who can accuse me of being heartless. Because on the night of May 9, after sleeping with me, you asked for a divorce right away and then immediately turned to Lan Yuyi. You are the heartless one.”
With darkness shrouding the stairwell, Qiao Yin allowed her tears to fall freely.
Recalling the past was so painful, yet she felt oddly courageas. She could cry while talking about this so calmly and casually, as if unaffected and merely stating an objective fact without personal feelings.
After what felt like an eternity, she heard Lu Lingche say apologetically in a deep voice, “I’m sorry. I thought you didn’t like me back then. I didn’t realise that a divorce would cause you such pain.”
Qiao Yin quickly responded, “I indeed don’t like you.”
“Then why are you so bothered by Lan Yuyi? Why can’t you let go of the divorce?”
“Because she ruined my marriage and my dreams of a wealthy life. I was in love with your money, not you, aren’t you aware of this?”
In the past, Lu Lingche would have exploded in anger when heheard this kind of reamark. He would even intentionally hurt Qiao Yin, letting her know that such words had consequences.
But today, he did not get angry.
He didn’t retaliate by hurting her as he had done in the past.
He spoke lightly, “If you like money, I can give it to you. Just stop pushing me away.”
“You’ll give me?”
Qiao Yin laughed bitterly, “Lu Lingche, do you really think I would believe you again? You made such sweet promises when we divorced: compensation for the divorce, helping my father rebuild his bankrupt company. But what did you give me? Nothing!”
Lu Lingche couldn’t help but frown, “You demanded a billion, which was clearly spiteful. How am I supposed to give you that? If you were fair with your demand, wouldn’t I have given it to you?”
“And as for your father, he’s a greedy man, never satisfied. Do you think I didn’t help with rebuilding his company?”
“I did my investigation and even approached him for a talk, but he didn’t want to rebuild the company. He had sold off the factory long before going bankrupt. All his assets were transferred before the bankruptcy!”
“When I found out later that you weren’t close with him, I didn’t want to help him anymore!”
“But my promise is still valid. If you genuinely want me to help him rebuild the company, I’ll have someone contact him tomorrow to discuss it further.”
