Chapter 559: Chapter 559: No Matter How It Looks, It Can’t Catch My Eye

“How is she different? How is she better than Lan Yuyi? When she divorced you, didn’t she demand one billion? Didn’t she marry into the Lu family for the money as well? Do you think they all like you? No! They all love the Lu Family’s wealth!”

Lu Lingche used to think the same way, believing Qiao Yin married him for the money.

But now he knows, Qiao Yin, wasn’t for the money, or at least, not all for the money.

If she was really after the money, she would’ve done everything in her power to keep the child she carried, giving birth to it to get more Lu Family money—just like Lan Yuyi did.

How much money could she get from an abortion?

Thinking about his past misunderstandings of her, he felt stifled. Eventually, he told the truth to Lu Mingzhen, “When Qiao Yin divorced me, I actually didn’t give her a penny. She signed the papers.”

Lu Mingzhen was stunned, “What did you say?”

“She didn’t take the money. Asking for one billion was just her retaliation because she was irked by the divorce. She made it difficult for me on purpose.”

“Didn’t I give you one billion to give her? Where’s the money?!”

“The money is still in my account, it’s not been transferred out. If you don’t believe me, you can go check.”

Upon hearing Lu Lingche’s words, Lu Mingzhen was furious, “So, I gave you one billion, and you didn’t give Qiao Yin a single cent? Are you even human? Your grandmother had you marry Qiao Yin as a token of gratitude for saving her life. You divorced her just three months into the marriage and didn’t give her any compensation. Aren’t you ashamed?!”

Lu Lingche gave him a cold glance, speaking indifferently, “Didn’t you just accuse her of marrying into the Lu Family for money? So now when she doesn’t take the money, you’re displeased and want to blame me?”

“I’ve never disliked her for marrying into the Lu Family for money!”

Lu Mingzhen was boiling with anger, “Everyone likes money, but you must understand whether a woman is just after your money or something else. Don’t let a woman’s looks deceive you, you might not even realize if the child she carries is yours!”

“I wasn’t blinded by Qiao Yin’s appearance, and I know the child is mine.”

Lu Mingzhen roared in anger, “I’m not talking about Qiao Yin! But about how Lan Yuyi has deceived you! Not only stunning beauty can blind a man, ordinary looks can deceive people too!”

“You weren’t deceived by Qiao Yin, precisely because she’s exquisite, and that makes you more cautious with her!”

“But what about Lan Yuyi? She looks average and you didn’t even feel the need to be wary of her! That’s your biggest mistake!”

“She puts on this innocent act of gentleness, claims she slept with you and you believe it, claims she’s carrying your child and you believe her, how naive can you be?!”

“Every time I see your clueless face being fooled, it’s exasperating! And yet, you can’t even realize it yourself, do you know how disappointed I am in you?!”

Listening to his father’s angry reproach, Lu Lingche suddenly felt that there was no need for the paternity test he had ordered.

This was undoubtedly his real father, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so angered by the fact that his son was being deceived.

Moreover, his face looked almost exactly like Lu Mingzhen’s.

Only when Lu Mingzhen was done berating him, did he speak nonchalantly, “I was deceived by Lan Yuyi, but it’s not related to her looks or her character. Regardless of what she looks like, she doesn’t catch my eye.”

“Then what does it have to do with?!”

“It’s related to my elder brother.”

Lu Mingzhen was apoplectic, “You still dare to blame your elder brother? Do you think since he’s dead you can shirk the responsibility onto him, making him the scapegoat?!”

“I’m not making my brother the scapegoat. I thought that him being such a virtuous person, the woman he chose would also be virtuous. That’s why I didn’t guard against her.”
