Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Being a Housewife Really Buried Her Talent
Seeing that Qiao Yin was silent, Lu Lingche chuckled, then pushed her down into the seat.
He caught her hand and kissed it at the edge of his lips, his voice low, “I realize that I indeed haven’t ever gifted you any jewelry, but I’ve never given it to other women either, so, there’s no need to be angry. I didn’t know you liked it; you’ve never worn such things before.”
Pressed down by him, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but push him a bit, “I really don’t like it, can you get up?”
Lu Lingche remained unmoved, “Then why are you wearing the necklace Gu Jing gave you?”
In her heart, Qiao Yin thought that she was close to Gu Jing for her own purposes, she had to accept his goodwill reluctantly. If she rejected it too outrightly, it would be hard to get Gu Jing wrapped around her finger, and even less possible to meet his father.
But these were none of Lu Lingche’s business.
In any case, she already had the reputation of being a gold digger around Lu Lingche, she didn’t care if it got any worse. “Because that necklace is quite expensive, I like money, I like valuables, is this reason acceptable? Can you get up now?”
“How much was the necklace?”
“Two hundred thousand.”
“This is considered expensive?”
“It may not be for a rich young master like you, but it is for me.”
“Haven’t I already given you fifty million in divorce compensation? How many necklaces can that buy? From now on, you’re not allowed to accept Gu Jing’s things, do you think men’s things come for free? Don’t you have to pay a price?”
Of course, Qiao Yin knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. She also had to pay a price, so she didn’t plan to keep the necklace, she intended to return it.
“The fifty million you gave me has all been invested in the hospital. The hospital needs to be renovated, the equipment needs to be updated, we need to recruit medical staff, we also need to advertise and promote. I’ve spent it all.”
A rare crack appeared on Lu Lingche’s usually composed face, “You really know how to squander money. Is Shensong Hospital worth your investment? Isn’t the hospital run by Director Song? Why are you putting so much money and effort into it?”
Why? Of course, to utterly defeat Lan’s Hospital!
Lan’s Hospital is currently on a downward spiral, and she has a lot to do with it!
Her goal, step by step, was being realized.
“I am currently the biggest shareholder of Shensong Hospital. I’ve signed a new contract with Director Song, I hold 70% shares and he and his son only hold 30%. Moreover, he promised me that if he ever wanted to sell his shares, I have the right of first refusal..”
Lu Lingche was taken aback, “So, this hospital essentially belongs to you now?”
“I suppose you could say that.”
Lu Lingche stared at her blankly, it seemed that she was becoming stronger, more capable.
The divorce compensation he gave her, she didn’t squander it aimlessly, instead, she invested it with a clear purpose and plan.
Most importantly, Shensong Hospital had actually been revived under her management. The hospital would’ve been bankrupt and closed down; however, now it’s thriving under her leadership, even the old Gu patriarch was treated there.
He had never known that she possessed such exceptional talent and ability.
Being married to him, being a housewife, it really buried her talent.
Qiao Yin, being looked at for so long, felt a bit overwhelmed even with her thick skin, “Why are you looking at me like that? Are you planning on sabotaging our hospital? If you dare to, I’ll never let you off.”
Lu Lingche touched her face, and spoke indifferently, “When did I ever try to hinder you? Is this how you think of me? Thinking that I don’t want to see you do well?”
Qiao Yin thought carefully, it seemed like he had never really hindered her career; the person who had always been obstructing her was Madam Lu.
Especially the incident when she was forced to resign from Starlight Technology; it wasn’t Lu Lingche’s doing. She had misunderstood him, and he hadn’t explained himself, quietly taking the blame for Madam Lu. It was only later that his grandmother explained it to her.
Even the person who demanded that she quit her job and return home to take care of Lu Lingche as a housewife was Madam Lu, not Lu Lingche.
“Even if you didn’t intentionally hinder me, I’ve had my share of bad luck because of you, I even lost my job because of you, so I must give you an early warning, to avoid any future misery.”
“Alright, I’ll be careful in the future, not to implicate you.”
“If you stay away from me, you’d not implicate me.”
“That, I can’t do.”
