Chapter 315: Going to Hell Too Slowly
Miss Qiao Lainan was taken aback on one side.
She even wanted to ridicule her cousin, had her brains been damaged from the miscarriage? How could she believe ghosts actually existed in this world?
She thought that her foolish cousin was going to be reprimanded by Lu Lingche again.
However, to her surprise, Lu Lingche not only didn’t scold her, he actually embraced her instead!
He even spoke earnestly, “No, if the gestation month was too early, it wouldn’t have developed enough to become a ghost. If the fetus were older, it might be a different story.”
Qiao Lainan found the whole thing ridiculous!
Unable to contain herself, she looked towards the assistant, her eyes filled with questioning, “Does Lu Lingche also believe in ghosts?”
The assistant ignored her, standing silently like a log.
At this moment, Qiao Yin couldn’t care less about Qiao Lainan. She gripped Lu Lingche’s shirt tightly, creating deep wrinkles on his previously smooth shirt.
Her eyes were filled with infinite fear, “Really? It won’t turn into a ghost? It won’t wander around homeless?”
Lu Lingche felt somewhat regretful at heart. He shouldn’t have mentioned that the child would come for revenge.
He knew well she was afraid of ghosts, and she even believed in them.
His arms tightened around her slightly, “Didn’t you say that it was all my fault the child is gone? If it does turn into a ghost, I would be the first one it comes to. I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?”
“It’s not that! I am afraid it would be too pitiful if it becomes a ghost!”
Qiao Yin’s voice trembled. Until now, she hadn’t considered this question.
Her face flowed with tears. She utterly loathed Lu Lingche. He was to blame for wanting a divorce, and he was to blame for getting her pregnant!
“Stop crying. Didn’t I just say it wouldn’t turn into a ghost? I told you to watch fewer ghost movies. Did you not take that to heart? You are a doctor. How could you not believe in science but in ghosts instead?”
“I do believe in ghosts! I also believe people like you will go to hell after death!”
Lu Lingche wasn’t angry about her accusation. He scoffed, “Right you are! If I don’t go to hell, who will? But don’t worry. If I really go to hell one day, I’ll definitely take you with me. So you won’t be lonely.”
Qiao Yin angrily pushed him away and turned to leave.
But as soon as she began, she backed back in.
Then, she picked up the kettle, poured a cup of hot water, and directly splashed it on Qiao Lainan’s face!
“Ah!”
Qiao Lainan immediately screamed, “Cousin, what are you doing!”
“Going to hell is too slow, I’d rather retaliate against you in this world first!”
“It was an accident, I didn’t mean to, how could you treat me like this?”
“I did it on purpose, because you deserve it!”
After saying that, Qiao Yin walked right out.
This time, she didn’t come back.
Qiao Lainan was wiping away tears while looking at Lu Lingche, “Brother-in-law, about my cousin…”
Lu Lingche interrupted her, “I am no longer your brother-in-law.”
“President Lu…”
“Yuanshan!”
“President Lu.”
“Boil another pot of hot water. It looks like Qiao Lainan enjoys it, so just let her keep holding it until the water cools.”
“Yes, sir!”
Yuanshan turned around to boil water, whereas Qiao Lainan’s changed completely, “President Lu, I’m sorry! I won’t dare to do it again, please spare me!”
However, it seemed Lu Lingche didn’t hear any of her pleas, and left his office with long strides.
As Qiao Lainan was about to chase after him, the assistant blocked her way, “Miss Qiao Lainan, our Corporation is not a place where you can move around freely, and President Lu is not someone you could follow around. Please show some respect!”
Despair was written all over Qiao Lainan’s face, “Assistant Lin, I beg you, let me go out and talk to President Lu, he wouldn’t be so heartless to make me hold a pot of boiling water!”
The assistant thought, she really doesn’t understand Lu Lingche.
“President Lu is just that heartless, Miss Qiao Lainan. You should stop fantasizing about him being too kind.”
A pot of water was soon boiled.
The assistant poured the hot water into a glass teapot and passed it to Qiao Lainan, “Here, hold this. Once this pot of water cools down, you can leave..”
