My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Just Acting Out a Play

Lu Lingche felt as if an invisible arrow had hit his knee, a hint of helplessness finally surfaced on his indifferent face.

He had a premonition that she might mock and ridicule him about this for the rest of his life.

As he leaned against the wall, not leaving, Qiao Yin curiously looked at him: “Your future mother-in-law has committed suicide, and your fiancée is definitely not doing well, shouldn’t you rush to the hospital to see them?”

“There’s no need. Chances are they’re just acting.”

Qiao Yin expressed even greater astonishment: “So, you actually knew that they could act?”

“I didn’t know at first, as I wasn’t familiar with them and never paid attention to them. I didn’t care whether they were acting or not. But when they act too many times, even if I don’t pay attention, I would notice.”

Lu Lingche’s tone was indifferent as he reached out and took hold of Qiao Yin’s hand again: “I’m sorry.”

Qiao Yin was somewhat puzzled: “Sorry for what?”

“The last time when Yuyi pretended to commit suicide, it was probably another act. It was my fault for losing my temper with you.”

Qiao Yin stared at him in bewilderment. She hadn’t expected that after so much time had passed, she could still hear an apology from him.

However, though the belated apology eased her feelings a little, it didn’t really unravel the knot in her heart or dissipate the hatred she held.

She gradually withdrew her hand from his and gave a faint smile: “The past is in the past, I’ve already moved on. President Lu, you should go to the hospital. Your presence here isn’t quite appropriate.”

Seeing her growing indifference and her withdrawing hand, Lu Lingche felt as if something had been similarly pulled away from his heart.

It left an emptiness inside him.

It took him a while to recover from this hollow sensation.

Then he left.

His assistant was dutifully waiting for him in the car downstairs.

Seeing his sullen face, the assistant cautiously asked: “President Lu, did you get beaten up again?”

Lu Lingche shot him a glance, his tone quite bad: “I might have preferred being beaten up.”

The assistant was left in confusion.

what’s wrong with the boss? He’s upset despite not being beaten up?

But seeing that Lu Lingche was looking particularly grim at that moment, he dare not ask any further, and could only say: “President Lu, I’ll take you home.”

“Let’s head to Lan’s Hospital first. My mother just called and said Mrs. Lan has attempted suicide and Yuyi has fainted.”

“What?!”

The assistant was startled, but quickly started the car while sensing that something was amiss. “President Lu, Miss Lan is pregnant. Madam Lu has been taking great care of her to avoid any stimulus that might upset her. How could Miss Lan’s own mother have no consideration at all and just attempt suicide?”

Lu Lingche’s voice was cold: “That’s why it must be an act, just like the last time when Yuyi attempted suicide. Mother and daughter must have planned this.”

He had harbored suspicions when Yuyi attempted suicide the last time. freēwēbnovel.com

But as that incident didn’t cause any substantial damage, he didn’t bother to investigate it further.

But now, with Wen Bilan staging another suicide, his suspicions were confirmed.

Wen Bilan usually loved her daughter so much, as if her own life depended on her. How could she possibly attempt suicide and upset her daughter, especially when she’s about to give birth?

The assistant’s face was filled with disbelief: “It was an act?”

“Yuyi studied medicine, she knows how to make the act seem real while keeping herself alive.”

“President Lu, you must be careful of them in the future. They stage suicides as if they’re acts, they’re ruthless to themselves, so they must be even more ruthless to others.”

Lu Lingche nodded indifferently.

He thought of his elder brother.

Considering the extent to which this mother-daughter duo can act and how ruthless they can be, had his elder brother been manipulated by them when he was alive?

Lu Lingche felt somewhat agitated.

On Saturday, he had to stand in for his brother in their wedding with Yuyi.

During his lifetime, his elder brother might have been clueless about the true nature of Yuyi and the Lan family, which was probably why he was so dedicated to preparing for the wedding and looking forward to it with heartfelt anticipation.
