BXBX NOVEL Chapter 387: Do You Like Gentleness?
The laughter of the two elders emanating from the window eased her tense heart considerably.
Lingche had evidently also seen Old Madam Lu’s car, so he followed Qiao Yin up to her apartment.
Qiao Yin didn’t want her Grandma to see her coming home with Lingche. Standing at the door, she said, “You should come in later.”
“Why?”
“If we go in together, Grandma will think I spent the day with you.”
“What’s wrong with being with me?”
“We’re divorced. Grandma doesn’t want me to be entangled with you anymore. She wants me to start a new life.”
“So you sought out Dongfang Mu?”
Qiao Yin furrowed her brow, “What does this have to do with Dongfang Mu?
He’s my boss, I’m his assistant, I’m just trying to make a living.”
“Are you just seeking to make money?”
“What else?”
“Then be my assistant. I’ll pay you a higher salary.”
Qiao Yin looked confused, “Don’t you already have an assistant? Yuanshan is loyal and professional, he’s very qualified. And for fetching tea and water, you also have Qiao Lainan. Go ahead, what do you want me to do? Do you need someone to curse at you every day?”
“Qiao Lainan is not my assistant. I didn’t offer her a salary.”
“Oh right, she’s not your assistant, she’s your girlfriend.”
” She’ s not my girlfriend!”
Lingche’s face turned pale, “I don’t have a girlfriend!”
“Whether you have a girlfriend or not has nothing to do with me. In any case, I’m not going to be your assistant. Who’d want to deal with your moods every day? Dongfang Mu has such a great temperament, I love working for him and have no plans to change my job.”
“He’s just pretending. You have no idea what kind of person he really is!”
“So, what if he’s pretending? If you could, why don’t you try to be as gentle as him.”
“Do you like gentle men?”
“Of course. Gentle men are wonderful. People with a cold and cruel temperament like you, if not for the wealth of your family, do you even realize that you wouldn’t be able to find a wife?”
Lingche’s face turned even more unsightly. After all this, she still liked Dongfang Mu!
With a long face, he pushed past Qiao Yin, unlocked the door, and walked in.
Qiao Yin watched as he entered the correct code, felt annoyed, “Lingche, I just changed the code. How did you know it again? Have you installed surveillance in my house?”
Lingche turned around, “Your intelligence is no higher than a primary school student. Do I need to install surveillance to guess your code?”
Qiao Yin glared at him heatedly, “You’re the primary school student! Your whole family is full of primary school students!”
Ever since she was a child, she had always been praised for her intelligence—by her mother, her grandmother, her neighbors, her teachers, and her classmates. But here at Lingche’s, she was reduced to a primary school student?!
He’s so arrogant!
She would definitely help Dongfang Mu secure Wanann Finance to frustrate Lingche and knock his arrogance down a peg.
Lingche ignored her, heading for the sofa where the old madam sat, he said, “Grandma, Qiao Yin is cursing at you. She called you a primary school student.”
Old Madam Lu had heard their entire argument. She chuckled, “Yinyin was scolding you, not me. Don’t involve me.”
She beckoned Qiao Yin over, “Yinyin, come here. A couple of days ago, I had someone buy two wild ginseng roots for you. Look how nice they are. Let your Grandma cook chicken soup for you. It’s important for you to keep up your health.”
Qiao Yin sat down, feeling both moved and helpless, “Grandma, you don’t have to buy these anymore, I haven’t even finished what you gave me last time.”
The ginseng and expensive medicinal ingredients that Grandma used to make chicken soup were mostly gifts from Old Madam Lu.
“You’ll finish them eventually. These things don’t go bad, you can keep them for later. The Lu family was unfair to you regarding the miscarriage, I don’t know how else to make it up to you. I can only send you these little gifts. If you refuse them, it makes my heart feel even worse.”
