Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Bet – Does Lu Lingche Trust Me, or You?
Lu Yanxi sneered, “Who said that this child is definitely going to be the future heir to the Lu family? My second brother may have other children who could be more exceptional, more qualified to inherit the family!”
Wen Bilan declared smugly, “Of course, it’s Madam Lu who said that. She has already promised that the child in my daughter’s stomach will definitely be the successor of the Lu family in the future!”
Lu Yanxi couldn’t help but frown, “Really? Did the eldest aunt actually say that?”
“Of course, it’s true!”
“That doesn’t sound right. Eldest aunt is not such an arbitrary person. The child hasn’t been born yet, and she’s already declared him to be the heir? Does she really love this unborn child so much?”
Seeing her changed attitude, Wen Bilan became even more triumphant: “This is the first grandson of the Lu family, of course, your eldest aunt loves him! So, I suggest you cut ties with Qiao Yin early and join us.”
“You are the child’s aunt. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, wouldn’t you depend on your nephew to help you out?”
“What can Qiao Yin do for you? The way she looks now, I’m afraid she’s blind, isn’t she? It seems she is unable to see anything, did the car accident cause her to lose her sight? Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful.”
Lan Yuyi had also noticed Qiao Yin’s eyes earlier. Although her eyes were open, she hadn’t looked in their direction at all. There wasn’t a glow in her eyes, and she even couldn’t seem to focus properly, it indeed looked like she was blind.
There were also lots of injuries on her face, obliterating her once captivating beauty.
She felt an odd sense of pleasure from seeing Qiao Yin’s downfall.
Even if Madam Lu’s plan to kill Qiao Yin failed, Qiao Yin is now both blind and disfigured; she must be worse off than dead, right?
Displaying an expression of pity on her face, she spoke with deliberate gentleness, “Miss Qiao, are you genuinely unable to see now? Then how would you live in the future? I remember that Lingche’s company has a welfare program for people with disabilities. Why don’t I help you talk to him about adding you to the list of recipients?”
Qiao Yin’s voice was cold, “Lan Yuyi, if you continue to disgust me here, I’ll reveal the actual month of your child’s birth. Do you want to take a gamble on whether Lu Lingche would believe me or you?”
Lan Yuyi’s face turned pale, then regained her color; eventually, she forced a gentle smile, “Miss Qiao, you might be a little confused after the car accident. Why are you speaking nonsense today? Never mind. I won’t disturb you anymore. Rest well and strive for a speedy recovery. I’ll be going now.”
After saying this, she immediately began to pull Wen Bilan out of the room, fearing that if she stayed any longer, Qiao Yin might really tell Lu Lingche something about the ‘birth month’ issue.
But just as she opened the door, she ran into Lu Lingche.
Lan Yuyi stiffened, a wave of fear surged in her heart. She didn’t know if Lu Lingche had heard what Qiao Yin had spoken earlier!
She forced a smile, “Lingche, why are you here?”
“That’s the question I should be asking you.”
Lu Lingche looked at her indifferently, “Why are you here?”
Lan Yuyi’s smile became unbearably rigid: “I, I just came to visit Miss Qiao.”
Seeing Lu Lingche, Lu Yanxi immediately became infuriated and accused him, “Second Brother! Did you tell Lan Yuyi about the car accident involving Second Sister-in-law? And did you tell them the hospital and ward she is in? You’ve crossed the line! How could you casually disclose Second Sister-in-law’s private matters? These two came to insult Second Sister-in-law while she’s severely injured! You have no idea how infuriating they were!”
She became so emotional that she forgot to call Qiao Yin by her name again and called her ‘Second Sister-in-law’ instead.
Lu Lingche, however, didn’t seem to notice anything wrong with this title. He just coldly stared at Lu Yanxi: “When did I tell her about Qiao Yin’s car accident?”
Lu Yanxi pointed at Lan Yuyi: “She said it! She claimed that you told her! You can’t deny it!”
The icy gaze of Lu Lingche fell upon Lan Yuyi’s face: “Is that so, Yuyi? Did I tell you?”
