My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 22 - 22: Indeed, It’s All about Money



“This is all my money, Dad.”

Recalling the moment Qiao Yin saw her father being beaten up by a bunch of people last night, she was still distressed: “Once I earn more, I will send it to you. Please put your safety first.”

Yet, Qiao Haidong was fuming: “Don’t you consider me as your father anymore? Why do you find it so hard to lend me some money? Are you still about to divorce Lingche? I tell you, I will never allow it! I don’t care how you get it; you must get 40 million from the Lu family as soon as possible. Or I will turn into a corpse! If you still have a shred of respect for me, then send me the money right now!”

She felt a rush of blood to her head. Just as she was about to say something, the call was ended on the other line.

Qiao Haidong had hung up the call.

Qiao Yin laid her mobile phone down weakly, her hands cupping her face, stopping her tears from falling.

She had been trying her best to arrange for some money. She didn’t even spare her daily expenses, and gave all of it to him. Yet, he didn’t even comfort her a single bit, he just demanded more and more money.

He never cared if she was happy or not. His concern and care for her last night must have been her illusion.

Qiao Yin didn’t allow herself to exist in negativity for long. She went to the restroom, washed her face, and returned to her desk, resuming her work.

The intricate work distracted her from the pain temporarily.

By evening, her colleagues started leaving, and Qiao Yin finally stopped working.

She took out the jade bracelet Old Madam Lu had given her.

The bracelet glowed under the light, clearly meaning it was valuable.

After inspecting the bracelet for a while, she wrapped it back carefully and placed it in its box.

With the box in her possession, she left her office building, hailed a cab, and headed for the Shengling Group.

Within Shengling Group’s CEO office, Lu Lingche, impeccably dressed in his suit, looked down at the sudden visit from Qiao Yin: “So, you’ve finally decided to sign the divorce agreement?”

Looking at his handsome face, her heartache began to spread.

Seeing the injury on his forehead, she couldn’t help but ask: “How did you get hurt?”

“Just bumped into something.”

Qiao Yin didn’t believe him, but she didn’t pry further. Instead, she handed him the box: “This is the jade bracelet that grandma gave me. I am returning it.”

Lu Lingche was quite surprised. He took the box, opened it, and indeed, it was the same jade bracelet: “You don’t want it?”

“Initially, I didn’t know it held a special significance. Now that I do, of course I can’t keep it. It was meant for your family’s daughter-in-law. You should keep it for now.”

“Qiao Yin.”

“Hmm?”

“Aren’t you desperate for money?”

“What about it?”

“Then why haven’t you sold this jade bracelet to get some cash?”

A chill went down Qiao Yin’s spine: “So in your mind, I am someone who goes to any length for money? Even selling a priceless family heirloom that grandma treasures so much?”

Lu Lingche frowned instinctively, wasn’t she exactly this type of person? Why did it seem like he had wronged her?

“Do you know how much this jade bracelet is worth?”

“I don’t know, neither do I need to.”

“If you sell it, it is enough to clear your Qiao family’s debts.”

Qiao Yin looked up in shock: “It’s worth that much?”

She couldn’t resist but to take a closer look at the jade bracelet once again.

She did know that the bracelet was valuable, but she did not expect it to be THIS valuable. Old Madam Lu was really generous to have given it away! Old Madam Lu genuinely cared for her.

Just when Lu Lingche thought she was having second thoughts about the bracelet, she placed the jade bracelet back into its box and turned to leave.

Lu Lingche’s frown deepened: “Qiao Yin!”

Qiao Yin turned around: “Is there anything else?”

“I’ve told you how much this jade bracelet is worth, don’t you want it?”

“It’s a precious heirloom of your family, holding a unique significance, of course, I can’t take it.”

“Aren’t you so noble?”

“I am not noble. I hope President Lu remembers to pay me my 1 billion when we divorce, otherwise there’s nothing to talk about!”

Turns out, she was indeed all about the money, even more money.

Lu Lingche’s voice turned icy: “You even turned our divorce into a business transaction, to make a fortune once you get a chance. Don’t ever go to grandma again, you are not worthy..”
