Chapter 195 - 195 President Lu, Please Pay

“Don’t provoke Qiao Yin anymore. She’s not like me. She won’t tolerate you just because my older brother does. She will fight back, and in the end, you will be the one at a loss.”

At the door, Lu Lingche added, “And I don’t want to hear you say you like me again. Don’t step over the line, I won’t betray my brother again.”

He then opened the door and left.

This time, Madam Lu and Wen Bilan couldn’t stop him.

He quickly headed back to the Corporation with his assistant to handle a myriad of issues.

After the stock market opened, the Corporation’s share price continued to drop, with questions and criticism gushing toward Lu Lingche from all directions.

However, he was prepared for this and did not seem emotionally affected.

The wounds on his lips and the hickeys on his neck had completely vanished, leading him to marvel again at how potent Qiao Yin’s ointment was.

At ten-thirty in the morning, while Lu Lingche was in a meeting, his mobile vibrated.

He glanced at it and saw a message from Qiao Yin.

“President Lu, the dress you ruined last night costs 360,000 yuan. I need you to reimburse me.”

He casually responded, “Are you trying to swindle me?”

“It’s true, that is a piece of haute couture with a price tag of 360,000 yuan. You need to pay.”

Her texts were straight to the point, cold and impersonal, solely focused on the money, as if she hadn’t been the one who spent the night with him.

She truly was- even more ruthless than he was.

With a stern face, he wrote back two words: “No money.”

Qiao Yin, lying in bed and reading this, was speechless.

If he had no money, then who did?

She had never met someone stingier than Lu Lingche!

“Are you going to pay or not?”

“No.”

“If you don’t pay, I’ll make a scene at your Corporation and get you on trending topics again!”

“Go ahead.”

Qiao Yin was annoyed. Not only was he stingy, but he was also frugal with his words, replying to her with just two words each time.

Looking at the bruises all over her body, she put down her phone in irritation, no longer wanting to communicate with Lu Lingche.

She didn’t know what time Lu Lingche had left in the morning. She had set an alarm, but it didn’t ring. She didn’t know if she had subconsciously turned it off or if that jerk Lu Lingche had.

She put on her pajamas, got out of bed, and called Lu Yanxi as she was getting dressed.

The auction house opens at ten and it was already half-past.

“Yanxi, I’m sorry, I overslept today. I’ll be late.”

“I know, Second Brother already asked for leave on your behalf. He told me you wouldn’t be able to come in until the afternoon. There isn’t much to do at the company right now and I haven’t gone in yet either.”

Qiao Yin paused, “He asked for leave for me?”

“Yeah!”

Lu Yanxi giggled, “Second Sister-in-law, did you spend the night with Second Brother?”

Qiao Yin blushed slightly, but decided to admit it since Lu Yanxi wasn’t an outsider, “Yeah, we were together.”

Lu Yanxi was excited, “Second Sister-in-law, well done! I declare from now on you’re my idol! You should lure Second Brother to you and keep him away from Lan Yuyi! That’ll show her!”

Qiao Yin wanted to say she didn’t lure Lu Lingche and had no intention to. It was he who insisted on coming to her place.

She had intended to send him away, but somehow things unfolded in an unexpected way.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she wouldn’t have claimed to have slept with Dongfang Mu just to provoke him, which had ended up infuriating Lu Lingche.

She deeply regretted it.

Shaking her head to get Lu Lingche out of her mind, Qiao Yin guiltily admitted, “Yanxi, I need to tell you something else. The dress I borrowed from you yesterday… got damaged. I feel really bad about it. But please tell your friend that I will pay for it in full.”

Lu Yanxi seemed confused, “Second Sister-in-law, my friend said that your dress has been returned!”

Qiao Yin was also confused: “What?”

She looked at the torn pieces of the gown all over her floor, and felt utterly bewildered..
