My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 558: She is different from Lan Yuyi

After leaving the hospital, Lu Lingche returned to the corporation.

He worked as usual, devoid of any personal emotions, efficiently and methodically handling each task at hand.

He was even proactive in poaching projects and talents from the Eastern Empire, and did not give up on liaising with Godkiller, trying every possible means to get Godkiller on his side, rather than helping Dongfang Mu.

At noon, while he was still engrossed in his work, Lu Mingzhen appeared in his office.

Lu Lingche looked at him indifferently, “What do you need?”

Lu Mingzhen’s tone was unfriendly, “So you finally know that the child is not yours? How did you find out? I thought you were so naive that you would never discover it!”

“Don’t you know whether you slept with Lan Yuyi? How can you be so clueless?”

“Where was your mind? Didn’t you pride yourself on being a genius? How could you have been drugged and fooled, and yet you never discovered it?”

“I’m simply furious at you. Every day I hoped that you would discover that the child isn’t yours. But I waited day after day, only until the child was born did you find out!”

“How could you be so ignorant? How could I, a wise and prominent figure, have a son like you?!”

He vented all the discontent that he had suppressed over this period.

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, his face was ashen with rage, and he disapproved of everything about Lu Lingche.

Noticing his intense emotions, Lu Lingche asked indifferently, “Am I really your son?”

“What a stupid question!”

“Then why didn’t you tell me that the child isn’t mine?”

“Because you’re so conceited! You deserved to be fooled once so that you can learn your lesson!”

“So, you suppressed this fact just to teach me a lesson?”

“Otherwise?”

Lu Lingche nodded, “Understood. Is there anything else? If not, you may leave.”

Taken aback by his nonchalant demeanor, Lu Mingzhen asked, “You’ve learned that the child isn’t yours and that I’ve lied to you. Aren’t you angry? Furious?”

“I had my doubts about the child’s paternity. When the truth came out, it wasn’t much of a surprise. As for you deceiving me, I wasn’t surprised either. After all, it’s entirely possible that you’ve lied to me about bigger and more significant matters, right?”

“What else do you know?”

“I don’t have any specifics, but I have never trusted any of you to begin with. I just couldn’t be bothered to verify certain things in the past, because I considered everyone beneath me and not worth my time and energy.”

Hearing this, Lu Mingzhen wasn’t taken aback at all, “Exactly, you’ve always been so arrogant and self-centered, looking down upon everyone. You deserved to take a fall, to learn a much-needed lesson!”

“Indeed, I suffered quite a bit this time, and it has changed my attitude towards the commoners. The saying ‘a tiny hole can ruin a large dam’ makes sense to me now. No matter how powerful I am, I cannot resist the gnawing of countless lowly creatures.”

“Have you truly learned your lesson?”

“Yes, truly.”

Lu Mingzhen, who had been feeling annoyed lately, finally felt a bit relieved, “Good, as long as you’ve learned your lesson! Now that your elder brother has an heir, what about you? Tell me, can you reproduce?”

Lu Lingche’s face hardened, “Why are you asking again? Haven’t I told you that I do not have any issues with fertility?”

“How would I know whether you are just putting on a brave face because you are too ashamed to admit it?”

“Qiao Yin was pregnant with my child, but my mother forced her to abort it! I’m still furious about the incident. Instead of confronting my mother about it, why are you here questioning my fertility?”

“How can you be so sure that the child she was carrying was yours?! Among the children Lan Yuyi was carrying, there was supposed to be one of yours. And did you not believe that as well? Do you have any ability to discern the truth? You absolutely don’t!”

“She is different from Lan Yuyi!”
