Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Men are Just Like That
Qiao Yin felt a slight tremble in her heart as she listened to his deep, melodious voice, and his nearly humble words.
Slowly, she lifted her hand, touching his handsome, indifferent face and softly said, “Lu Lingche, it’s over between us, it was you who ended it. Do you think it can so easily begin again? There’s no such convenient thing in this world. I hate you, I won’t like you again, don’t waste your effort.”
Since the divorce, this was the first time she voluntarily touched his face.
Lu Lingche slightly trembled at the touch.
He grabbed her hand, holding it on his face, “I’m not asking you to like me right now. It took you five years to enter my heart, shouldn’t it take me at least the same time to enter yours? Given your hatred for me, this time may need to be extended. However, I can wait.”
Qiao Yin said nothing, only pulled her hand out of his.
She entered his heart?
Surely he lies, she was only ever on the fringe of his heart at most. Lan Yuyi truly entered his heart, he was able to guard and spoil her without any reservations.
As for herself, she could only receive a hint of his care when Lan Yuyi wasn’t around.
Even though Lan Yuyi lost his favor as she lied to him, Qiao Yin was clear that no matter what, she could not compare with Lan Yuyi.
Even if she could, she didn’t need to.
Love and men are just that, she tasted it and that was enough. There’s no need to dwell in them.
She had more important things to do.
She took a deep breath and pushed Lu Lingche, “It’s already late, I need to go home.”
Lu Lingche finally let her go, “I’ll take you home.”
Qiao Yin did not refuse this time. She let him escort her and drive her home.
Only after she had driven a kilometer away did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Qiao Yin did not refuse Lu Lingche, because she feared that after she left, Lu Lingche might bring his bodyguards into the abandoned factory to inspect.
By then, he would certainly discover Hong Changgong, and might even learn the grudges between her and the Gu Family from him.
If Lu Lingche wanted to meddle, she would become very passive.
After all, she still keeps a high level of caution against him. Regardless of how sweet his words would be, after he hurt her like this, she would always be on guard.
When Qiao Yin arrived home, it was already midnight.
Perhaps seeing her carrying a heavy heart, Lu Lingche didn’t say anything about wanting to stay overnight. He quietly got out of the car, stood watching as she went into the unit door, then left.
Her grandmother had already gone to bed. Qiao Yin took a shower, changed into her pajamas, but struggled to fall asleep.
Her grandmother knew her mother once worked for the Gu Family, but did she know who from the Gu Family hated her mother enough to kill her?
She remembered mentioning the Gu Family to her grandmother today, and her grandmother did act a bit odd.
Her grandmother specifically told her not to have too much contact with the Gu Family.
She didn’t take it to heart at the time, thinking her grandmother was just afraid she’d be drawn into the complications of a wealthy family again, hence the request not to have contact with the Gu Family.
Now it seemed, her grandmother must have known something, hence the reminder.
But if the Gu Family treated her mother badly, had a grudge against her mother, her grandmother should not have agreed to let her treat Gu Guotai. And when Gu Guotai saw her, he would not have been so friendly and polite.
Qiao Yin’s thoughts whirled and it wasn’t until dawn that she reluctantly fell asleep.
Then in her dream, she saw her mother.
In her dream, her mother was beautiful and gentle. She gently talked to her and there was no worry on her face. She even patiently taught her to make dried flowers, in a very contented way.
At seven o’clock, her mobile alarm rang, Qiao Yin opened her eyes.
She stared at the ceiling, a little dazed.
In her memory, her mother was indeed as warm and soft as she was in the dream, without any sharp edges or worries.
She probably didn’t even know, till her death, that it was the Gu Family who had her killed.
