Chapter 689: Chapter 689: I Take Care of Her Because of My Elder Brother’s Last Words
Qiao Yin nodded, it seemed that he had overheard all her conversations with Lan Yuyi.
He was really quite cunning, hidden in the pitch-black shadows for such a long time, eavesdropping on their conversation. If he had not come out voluntarily, she would not have discovered his presence.
However, it was a good thing for him to know that she was not someone to mess with and he should stop bothering her in the future.
He should also realize what kind of person Lan Yuyi truly was, to save him from bothering her because of Lan Yuyi.
Qiao Yin shifted her gaze, comfortably leaned back in her chair, and looked out at the night scene outside the window: “Indeed, Lan Yuyi won’t commit suicide. However, you should worry about other things. For example, I could kill her. So, I suggest that you keep protecting her as you used to do. This way, she’ll live longer, making my challenge more difficult and interesting.”
Lu Lingche looked at her with a complex expression.
She had truly changed from before; she had become stronger and cared less about him now. She even asked him to protect Lan Yuyi. In the past, when he protected Lan Yuyi, she used to get angry. But now, she was afraid that if he didn’t protect Lan Yuyi, her challenge would become dull.
More than that, it seemed like she truly despised Lan Yuyi greatly. This wasn’t the first time she threatened to kill Lan Yuyi.
At first, he thought she was simply angry, but now he understood that she was quite serious.
He was scared she might actually do it, so he had to reveal something he hadn’t wanted to explain for a long time: “Qiao Yin, the reason why I always take care of Lan Yuyi, and the reason why I divorced you to marry her, was not because I liked her, but because my elder brother sent me a WeChat message with his last words before he died.”
Speaking of this, Lu Lingche’s voice became hard: “In the last moment before his death, he took a great effort to send me a voice message. He said that Lan Yuyi was the only person in this world he was worried about and asked me to take good care of her. He said he was begging me.”
“My older brother never asked me for anything. From my childhood until now, he was the one who always looked after me. Everyone favored him, everyone disliked me, but my older brother never disliked me. When I made a mistake, he always stepped forward to cover up for me. He was the nicest person to me in the entire Lu family.”
“After his sudden death, he left only me with a voice message of his last words. I couldn’t refuse him. I could only do my best to protect Lan Yuyi. If something happened to Lan Yuyi, I wouldn’t know how to face my elder brother.”
Qiao Yin was somewhat startled when she heard this.
So this was the reason.
She had thought that Lu Lingche favored Lan Yuyi excessively so he had broken all her preconceptions of him and protected Lan Yuyi regardless of everything.
But it was not so.
The reason was that Lu Shengqing had specifically instructed Lu Lingche before his death.
Just now, Lan Yuyi admitted that Lu Shengqing knew she was pregnant one day before the accident.
So, this must be the reason why Lu Shengqing, with all his strength, had left a last message for his younger brother, asking him to take care of Lan Yuyi!
Lu Shengqing had always held a special place in Lu Lingche’s heart because, just like what Lu Lingche said, due to various reasons, nobody had ever liked him except for Lu Shengqing. Lu Shengqing never despised him for his troubles, and he didn’t mind his brother’s cold pride.
Lu Shengqing had always taken care of Lu Lingche with all his capacity, and no matter what Lu Lingche liked, he would give in without a fight.
Even, as far as she knew, in the beginning, Lu Shengqing even intended to let his brother take over everything in the family, including the Shengling Corporation.
It was Lu Lingche who had refused, and so Lu Shengqing had had to take the reins.
When the whole world held prejudice and hostility against Lu Lingche, only Lu Shengqing cared for him, accepted him, and looked after him without concerning about his bad temper. It goes without saying, how important Lu Shengqing held in Lu Lingche’s heart.
