Chapter 677: Chapter 677: President Lu, Don’t Conceal Your Illness
Lu Lingche watched as Qiao Yin was dragged away, his face instantly turning extremely unpleasant.
He hadn’t finished speaking with Qiao Yin.
Lu Yanxi, the brainless one, not only ignored her issues, but also dragged Qiao Yin away.
From beginning to end, only Xie Xingchen sat steadily, his expression never changing and maintaining a calm composure like a robot.
He took a sip of his favorite Biluochun tea, a hint of satisfaction on his face. Then he casually asked: “Has your assistant found out something? You looked so awful that you scared your sister. Her face is as pale as paper. Can’t you be gentler?”
Lu Lingche coldly glared at him: “Gentle? Do I possess such a trait?”
Xingchen recalled Qiao Yin’s cold attitude towards him and helplessly shook his head: “Can’t you just pretend to be gentle? If you frighten all the girls, who would date you? Even Miss Qiao divorced you, you can’t blame her!”
“You pretend quite well, but I don’t see anyone dating you. Is it because you’re too ugly?”
“Why do you have to get personal? My family has already arranged an arranged marriage for me. I’m getting married next year. If I dare to date someone else, my dad will kill me.”
“You have a marriage partner?”
Xie Xingchen sighed: “Brother, you really are my brother. I’ve told you this important matter so many times, yet you still don’t remember. Are you even listening to me?”
“You talk too much nonsense, I automatically filtered it out.”
Lu Lingche, indifferent and without a hint of guilt, asked: “Who is your marriage partner?”
“Who else could it be? Mi Yingying, the female heiress of the Mi Family, they own the second most influential casino on Owei Island. My father’s ambitions are high; he even arranged Xie Xingling’s wedding. Both I and my sister are his tools.”
“Are you just going to accept your fate? Willing to go through with the arranged marriage?”
“Why not? Isn’t marriage just a formality? I’ve met Miss Mi, she looks decent. Although her personality is a bit domineering, it’s not a big deal. I am good at pretending to blend in.”
Xie Xingchen didn’t take the arranged marriage seriously; he even smirked: “President Lu, you also married according to your family’s arrangement, didn’t you? You complied to them twice; if you can obey so can I, right?”
“I’m not like you. I didn’t listen to my family. Both times, it was my own choice.”
Xie Xingchen was surprised: “What? Really? But as far as I know, when you married Miss Qiao, wasn’t it your Old Madam who asked you to marry her to repay her for saving her life? Am I wrong?”
The voice of Lu Lingche was indifferent: “It was my own choice.”
His marriage to Qiao Yin did involve the Old Madam’s arrangement, but ultimately, it was because he didn’t mind Qiao Yin. He was often reluctant to let anyone live in his house, yet he naturally accepted her living with him.
This proved that even before he realized it, he had already treated her differently.
Switch to someone else, he wouldn’t marry. Even if the Old Madam forced him, he wouldn’t submit. His rebellious nature wouldn’t allow it.
As for the wedding with Lan Yuyi, that was because he felt he owed it to his older brother and wanted to fulfill his wish.
Xie Xingchen was confused: “Since you were willing to marry Miss Qiao and you seem to care for her, why did you divorce her? You can’t say you like Lan Yuyi. I know you don’t love Yuyi.”
Lu Lingche didn’t explain and just responded indifferently, “I made a mistake.”
He didn’t ask further, but Xie Xingchen just laughed: “Are you planning to win Miss Qiao back now?”
“Yes.”
“But it seems to me she isn’t interested in you. Did you upset her and now you can’t win her back?”
“You sure talk a lot.”
“I’m good at consoling people. Do you want me to teach you?”
“No need!”
“Don’t be stubborn, President Lu. You have no experience in comforting girls. You should listen to my advice.”
“You have experience? Have you ever dated?”
“I have a sister, I have plenty experience comforting her!”
