At three in the morning, the helicopter arrived at the Lu Family home, landing on the helipad specially built in their backyard.
Lu Mingzhen stepped off the helicopter, saying to Qiao Yin, “You’ve had a tough day as well. You should head home and rest.”
“Ok, will do.”
“The one billion divorce settlement you proposed, I have accepted on behalf of the Lu Family. This amount will be transferred to your account.”
Qiao Yin was about to leave when she heard this. She suddenly stopped. “You… you agreed?”
How could he agree?
Didn’t he see that it was deliberately a hefty demand to inconvenience the Lu family?
Lu Mingzhen flashed her a faint smile, “It is what you deserved and what the Lu family is obliged to pay. Your grandmother saved the Old Madam once more. There is nothing more we can offer, except money. It’s the most solid token of goodwill. Everything else is empty talk.”
Qiao Yin stared at him, astonished. It was her first time seeing this stern and aloof father-in-law smiling. Although faint, it indeed showed that he was trying to express his stance.
The one billion was given out of respect for her grandmother, which was truly sincere. At the very least, it was far more sincere than what Lu Lingche had ever offered.
“I heard from Yan Xi that you started working at her auction house?”
“Yes.”
“That girl is good, and she spoke highly of you. She mentioned that her auction house wants to expand and needs twenty million. I’ll provide that amount. Consider it as an investment in the auction house. From now on you will be Yan Xi’s partner.”
Qiao Yin hurriedly waved her hands in refusal, “No need, no need, that’s too generous! I’m quite happy working for Yan Xi!”
“Don’t reject it so quickly. The one billion divorce settlement is personal. This twenty million is to thank your grandmother. Accept it for her. With this money, the Old Madam would be happy and can rest assured while staying with your grandmother. Don’t you agree?”
He had considered everything. It was impeccably well-rounded, leaving Qiao Yin speechless.
He was too generous.
Yet, Lu Lingche was so miserly. If Lu Lingche did not so closely resemble his father, she might have doubted whether Lu Lingche was really his son.
Seeing the mixture of gratitude and confusion on her face, Lu Mingzhen knew his efforts were not wasted.
He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, “Lingche, take her home safely.”
He had done everything he could. It was now up to his son. Hopefully, he wouldn’t drag things out.
Qiao Yin watched as Lu Mingzhen left, then turned and exited the backyard.
Lu Lingche followed her, “Get in the car.”
Qiao Yin didn’t want to be alone with him, “No need, President Lu. Go, I’ll take a taxi back.”
Lu Lingche, frowning, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, “Get in the car now!”
Qiao Yin forcefully shook off his hand, “I told you I don’t need it!”
With a gloomy face, Lu Lingche got in the car. He instructed his assistant, “Drive!”
The assistant hesitated for a moment, but did not dare disobey his order. He drove off, leaving Qiao Yin alone to walk down the dimly lit road.
However, they had not gone far when he heard Lu Lingche coldly say, “What’s the rush?”
The assistant was confused, he was only driving at 50 km/h and the speed limit on this road was 70 km/h. Where was he rushing?
But his body reacted more quickly than his brain to his boss’s command. Almost as soon as the words left his boss’s mouth, he had already lightly tapped the brakes, reducing their speed.
Adhering to a speed of 40km/h, he drove slowly. After a short while, he heard Lu Lingche’s ordered through gritted teeth, “Turn around!”
The assistant sighed in relief, “Yes, President Lu.”
Qiao Yin was walking slowly along the roadside. In the three o’clock night, there was no one around, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bushes.
There is a beautiful artificial lake near the Lu family’s backyard.
However, while the artificial lake is beautiful during the day, the black, mirror-like lake surface at night seemed like a terrifying monster, ready to swallow anyone up at any moment.
The shadows of the trees by the lake swayed in the night wind, along with numerous strange rocks and human-shaped sculptures, creating a terrifying atmosphere in the darkness..
