From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 179 - Qiao Xin’s Trouble

Chapter 179 -179 Qiao Xin’s Trouble

“I won’t go back, I’m going to divorce Lu Ming—he cheated on me, I won’t return to the Lu Family!”

Qiao Xin wiped her tears and stood up from the ground, ignoring the astonished looks from Qiao Benqing and Zhao Wenjing, and turned to walk away.

“Wait!”

Qiao Benqing called out to stop Qiao Xin, with furrowed brows, he said.

“I know you’re dissatisfied with this marriage, but the Qiao Family and the Lu Family have been allied for generations. Now, not even half a year into your marriage, if you initiate the divorce, it’ll be bad for both families.”

The marriage alliance between the Lu Family and the Qiao Family couldn’t just be destroyed like that. The unsaid part was that the Qiao Family had profited quite a bit from the union with the Lu Family.

If the marriage were to end in divorce in less than half a year, the Lu Group, with its large business, wouldn’t suffer much. However, it would definitely have a huge impact on the Qiao Family!

Qiao Xin hadn’t thought of these things; she just felt that Qiao Benqing, due to his partiality, turned a blind eye to her suffering.

“I must divorce him! As for the alliance between the two families, don’t you have your precious daughter!”

After saying this, Qiao Xin left the Qiao Family. Qiao Yi’s eyes brimmed with discontent, while Qiao Benqing watched Qiao Xin’s retreating back, sighed, and covered the sadness in his eyes.

The meal was ruined by Qiao Xin’s outburst and was no longer appetizing. After calming down Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, Qiao Yi also left the Qiao Family.

Qiao Benqing refrained from saying certain things in front of Qiao Xin, and although Qiao Yi was somewhat angry, she could understand Qiao Benqing.

After all, Qiao Benqing felt guilty towards Qiao Xin, as she was born during the most difficult period of his career. Plus, with Zhao Wenjing’s difficult delivery and poor health, Qiao Xin was mostly raised by nannies during those years.

Though Qiao Benqing and Zhao Wenjing didn’t deliberately neglect Qiao Xin, they indeed did not give her enough companionship.

And as Qiao Xin grew older and distanced herself from the family, there weren’t many opportunities for Mr. and Mrs. Qiao to make amends, so they could only let her do as she pleased.

Qiao Xin always felt that Qiao Benqing and Zhao Wenjing favored Qiao Yi, but she never considered the real sacrifices Qiao Yi made for her comfort.

But all these were things of the past, and even bringing them up now was futile. Qiao Xin was inherently selfish, always defaulting to how others had wronged her. Even if Qiao Yi were to confront her with the truth, Qiao Xin might deny it or even retort.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yi felt utterly disheartened.

You can never wake someone who is feigning sleep, let alone someone like Qiao Xin, who for years has convinced herself that Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were unkind to her.

Qiao Yi didn’t go to the company but went straight home to Emperor Garden, waiting to tell Lu Yanchuan about the events at the Qiao Family later that evening.

“I’ve always known Qiao Xin is never satisfied, but when did Lu Ming cheat? Seeing Qiao Xin today, she’s determined to divorce Lu Ming. If she really stirs things up, it’ll be bad for both families.”

Although Qiao Yi had only briefly mentioned the grievances with Qiao Xin, Lu Yanchuan still gleaned a lot of information from their conversation.

“You should know her.”

A name flash through Qiao Yi’s mind, as though plucked from deep within her memory.

“Lin Ke? Is it her?”

“Mhm, the day before yesterday, Qiao Xin caught Lin Ke and Lu Ming together. Qiao Xin and Lin Ke got into a fight and were photographed, but Lu Ming intervened and managed to suppress the news.”

Qiao Yi was shocked; she hadn’t heard a whisper of this, only noticing that Qiao Xin had been off these past few days but never expected such a thing to happen.

Thinking of Le Bai’s solemn promises to her, Qiao Yi mumbled to herself, could this be how Le Bai intended to calm Qiao Xin down?

But, Le Bai really did hit Qiao Xin’s weak spot; such a scandal would definitely lead Qiao Xin to divorce Lu Ming, and regardless of the reason, Lu Ming would never part with Qiao Xin.

Of course, Lu Ming’s worrywart of a mother would certainly make a scene, maybe even blaming Qiao Xin for exposing her son’s dirty laundry.

“I actually think Qiao Xin brought this upon herself. If she hadn’t schemed against me back then, I would be the one married to Lu Ming now, and the one cheated on!”

Qiao Yi snorted; just thinking about the words Lu Ming said to her on the morning of her wedding made Qiao Yi feel disgusted. Good thing she hadn’t ended up with such a man!

Come to think of it, she owed Qiao Xin her thanks. If not for her scheming that time, she wouldn’t have found the gem that is Lu Yanchuan… no, the gem that is Third Young Master.

Lu Yanchuan saw Qiao Yi suddenly space out and murmuring to herself about something, and when he moved closer to hear her last words, Lu Yanchuan’s mood instantly brightened.

Qiao Yi was still in a daze when she was suddenly scooped into an embrace.

“Hey! What are you doing? Put me down now!”

“I’m not doing much, just showing you how much of a treasure I am.”

Qiao Yi was carried upstairs, and for a long time after that, she developed a profound aversion to the word “treasure”.

Life once again settled down; Qiao Xin and Lu Ming were too preoccupied with their divorce turmoil to spare any energy to trouble Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi still met up with Le Bai and expressed her thanks in person.

“It’s nothing, but that Lin Ke is truly an interesting person. Just hearing that I could give her an opportunity, she didn’t even ask for a fee and rushed to sleep with your little nephew.”

As Le Bai spoke, she flipped out an envelope and placed it in front of Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi opened the envelope, only to be shocked by the contents.

It was full of photographs, with one female lead but many male leads, including the familiar Lu Ming.

“This Lin Ke is really a b*tch among tea leaves, look, there’s a flash drive underneath the envelope with dynamic content. I doubt your sister can handle her.”

Halfway through the photos, Qiao Yi had already identified no fewer than ten male leads. Seeing the remaining photos in the envelope, Qiao Yi’s admiration for Le Bai knew no bounds.

To have such a powerful network and investigate Lin Ke so thoroughly in just a few days was impressive.

Qiao Yi tucked the envelope away with reverence.

Although Lin Ke was currently Qiao Xin’s problem, considering this woman’s wide net fishing attitude, she could become her problem one day.

“Bai, you’ve done me such a big favor, I really don’t know how to thank you properly.”

“What’s there to thank? I simply took a fancy to you at first glance, and besides, it’s just a small effort. Just come hang out with me more often!”

When Lu Yanchuan learned that his wife had been abducted by Le Bai to go to the hot springs, he sensed trouble. Although Le Bai had a history of chasing rich men, there were rumors that she was just as interested in young and beautiful girls.

If a woman were to steal his woman, Lu Yanchuan would feel like killing someone!
