Chapter 240 - 240 He is Here



All members of the Qiao family were quite attractive, with the men being tall and handsome, and the women generally elegant and beautiful.

Qiao Lainan was the most beautiful among the three sisters, with a pointed chin, gently arched eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes and peach-like cheeks. Her shy gaze gave her a delicate and reserved aura.

Her appearance was similar to Lan Yuyi’s, not striking at first glance but quiet and elegant, giving a sense of peaceful harmony with the world when observed closely.

There was a hint of delight in Qiao Lainan’s voice, “Yes, my eldest uncle indeed mentioned that I resemble the woman whom my brother-in-law has an affair with. I thought he was merely teasing me. So, cousin, you think the same as well? How much do you think are my chances?”

Qiao Yin’s mockery deepened, “You know you resemble that woman? Are you not afraid of becoming someone else’s shadow?”

“There’s nothing wrong with being a shadow. You have enjoyed a privileged life since childhood and wouldn’t know the hardships we’ve experienced.”

Qiao Lainan still maintained that gentle demeanor, her eyes revealing a trace of madness, “If I could marry into a prominent family, to such an outstanding and handsome man as my brother-in-law, so what if I become a shadow?”

“Besides, I may not necessarily become a shadow. I have some confidence in myself. Everyone says I’m quite pretty. Maybe my brother-in-law will really like me!”

“I just need one favor from you cousin, to introduce me to my brother-in-law. He’s always surrounded by an assistant and bodyguards. It’ll be hard for me to get close to him on my own.”

Qiao Yin’s voice was cold, “Your imagination is too optimistic.”

I wonder where she got the courage to believe she could win over Lu Lingche.

Lu Lingche only has eyes for Lan Yuyi. I’ve known Lu Lingche for five years, even married him, but I still lost to Lan Yuyi in the end, didn’t I?

“After all that’s been said, you still refuse to help me, cousin? I just need this once. Let me have a chance to meet the brother-in-law, will you?”

“No, absolutely not.”

Qiao Yin warned her, “You can’t succeed, so don’t even think about winning Lu Lingche’s affection.”

“The reason for our divorce was his love for someone else. Although you and the woman he loves share the same style, he would never fall for a shadow.”

“Moreover, he’s not a good person. Even if you managed to marry him, you wouldn’t be happy. Give up this thought.”

However, Qiao Lainan was not willing to listen, “How would I know I won’t succeed if I don’t try? Cousin, your failure doesn’t mean I won’t succeed! Could it be that you still have feelings for my brother-in-law, that you’re unwilling to introduce him to me?”

“What a great joke you’ve made. I don’t like him, but that doesn’t mean I’ll introduce him to you.”

Qiao Yin shifted her gaze to Dou Yuemei’s face, “What a preposterous idea! Sisters marrying the same man! You might not care about losing face, but I do!”

Dou Yuemei shrieked, “Ah, what’s this about losing face? We’re talking about a wealthy family, a grand opportunity! Many are longing for it. What’s wrong with helping your sister? If Lainan could marry into that family, we’d all share the benefits!”

“I won’t help. You can leave now!”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Qiao Yin opened the door and saw Old Madam Lu, who had come to visit her grandmother.

And behind her, was Lu Lingche.

Seeing Lu Lingche in a crisp suit, she froze, her face turning stark.

What was he doing here?!

Wasn’t Lu Yanxi the one accompanying Old Madam Lu the past few days? Why on earth did he show up today?

Lu Lingche noticed her odd reaction, and slightly furrowed his eyebrows, “Why are you looking at me like this? You didn’t want to see me that much?”
