Chapter 244: Begging on Knees
Although Qiao Yin found it odd that Lu Lingche had suddenly kissed her, his behavior was somewhat explainable.
Obviously, Qiao Lainan was more problematic.
She replied curtly, "So what if my husband kisses me? Do I owe you an explanation? Don't you find it ridiculous to ask such a question?"
Qiao Lainan gritted her teeth. "I just want to know if you two still plan to divorce."
"Whether we divorce or not, it has nothing to do with you. I warn you again to stay away from Lu Lingche. He is not a good person. Don't you understand?"
Qiao Lainan stood silently, tears suddenly falling.
Then, she abruptly knelt before Qiao Yin.
Qiao Yin was startled. "What are you doing?"
"I want to beg you, Cousin, to give me a chance. Even if you and my brother-in-law don't divorce, I just want more chances to interact with him. Since he already has other women, why not me as well? Can you agree to this, Cousin?"
Qiao Yin originally wanted to help her up, but when she heard these words, her outstretched hand slowly fell to her side.
She tugged at the corner of her lip, feeling sarcastic.
"I've really seen it all now. A woman begging on her knees to become a man's mistress, and it's her own cousin's man at that."
"My brother-in-law is no ordinary man, and it's normal for him to have mistresses. Please help me, Cousin. I beg you."
Qiao Yin shook her head. "You're absolutely insane. I bet the Qiao Family elders never taught you anything about propriety, justice, integrity, and honor. Your actions continually blow my mind."
"I'm just following Cousin's example. Didn't you marry into the Lu Family for their wealth and power? Is it wrong for me to want to improve my life?"
"So you want to be my husband's mistress? There are plenty of men in this world. Being with Lingche won't bring you any benefits. You should know he's a penny-pincher and won't give you a cent to spend."
Qiao Lainan had tears in her eyes. "I know there are many men out there, but I've fallen for my brother-in-law. You accept him having other women in his life. Why can't you accept me? You just need to share a bit of his affection with me. I'm not greedy!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Yin laughed - a laugh devoid of mirth. "You're amusing. I don't have any of his affection. How could I share that with you? I never said I accepted his affairs either. I definitely plan to divorce him. There are plenty of men out there. Why should I hang myself on one single tree?"
Qiao Lainan was suddenly delighted. "Really? You're really going to divorce my brother-in-law?"
"Really."
"When?"
"Soon."
"Can you give me my brother-in-law's contact info then? I'd like to have a chat with him."
Qiao Yin coldly shook her head, ignored her further, and went into the living room to accompany the Old Madam and their grandmother.
Qiao Lainan slowly stood, then slowly made her way downstairs.
Outside the apartment block, a black Maybach was parked.
Next to the Maybach stood two suited bodyguards.
Qiao Lainan couldn't help but give them a once-over. Were all bodyguards of Lu Lingche so well dressed? The suits seemed high-end.
The Lu Family is truly wealthy. Lu Lingche is rich!
She couldn't possibly pass up this chance to join a wealthy family!
She cleared her throat before politely saying, "Brother-in-law, are you there? I have something to say to you."
After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside the car.
Qiao Lainan stepped forward to open the car door, but the two bodyguards blocked her.
"What are you doing? Who allowed you to get close? Leave immediately!"
Qiao Lainan hurriedly replied, "Sirs, Qiao Yin is my cousin! I'm her sister, and I need to speak to my brother-in-law. Let me through, please. I just need to talk to my brother-in-law in the car for a moment."
