Ex-husband kneels, son begs, she vows not to look back after divorce

After returning from the garden, Su Luo went to the bathroom.

Xiao Xiao was embraced by several noble ladies.

They were all chattering about her latest designs.

Sitting in the squat toilet, she heard other people coming in from outside. The socialites and daughters of wealthy families were talking and laughing:

"You know what? Jin Shulan is even more beautiful dressed up like this than when she was little... Her temperament is amazing, and her arrogance is overwhelming... She's definitely a charming little devil..."

"She must be even better in bed. I heard that Mr. Lu and her are already living together... Every day after work, no matter how far away he is, he goes back to be with her..."

"She's truly amazing. She's able to charm Mr. Lu so much that he doesn't even care that she's had children or been married before... Sigh, this kind of trick is something that ordinary people really can't pull off..."

"Of course, she's already very talented. At such a young age, she's a rare expert!"

"The point is, none of us has such a powerful mother like her."

"Mrs. Xiao is indeed amazing. She married Xiao Jingnan for the second time and won the entire financial circle... Being her daughter, she is indeed very wealthy..."

"I heard that Madam Xiao has written a will, leaving two-thirds of her property to Jin Shulan. The Lu family will certainly not give up the opportunity to merge with the Xiao family's property..."

"Is it true?"

"It's probably true. I heard that Madam Xiao fainted once before. It took several days to be rescued. Then she wrote a will."

"What disease?"

"I don't know. He's fainted several times. I heard he was overly sad, missing his deceased son, and often cried himself to death in the middle of the night. Now his memory is clearly showing signs of aging. Maybe he has Alzheimer's..."

"Dementia? It can't be that serious... Xiao Xiao looks so energetic and young, how could he be old..."

"If the foundation is damaged, what's the point of maintaining the surface well?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I heard from my mom that Xiao Xiao has been sick... He has severe headaches and is forgetful..."

Su Luo was extremely shocked when he heard this.

She thought that her mother had lived a happy life for the past twenty years, but she never imagined that she had fainted several times due to missing her mother, and she was completely unaware of it.

She was even more shocked about the inheritance. How could her mother distribute it like this?

It must be a rumor.

After coming out of the bathroom, she wanted to find her mother. She had to find out what was going on with her mother's repeated fainting spells and memory loss.

When she was about to reach the hall, she saw Lu Qiaoling and several heirs of big families walking into a VIP lounge with a smile. She hurried over, but the door was half-open.

There were voices coming out.

Zhao Haoran chuckled and joked, "Old Lu, congratulations, you finally got Miss Jin... Now we're just waiting to get the marriage certificate... Next year we can have a big fat boy..."

Lu Qiaoling didn't respond.

Su Luo thought of Lu Qiaoling's test report indicating infertility.

Then, another man lazily continued, "Old Lu, you're going to make a fortune this time... I heard that Xiao Xiao gave her eldest daughter a dowry of half of the Xiao family... This way, if you marry Jin Shulan, you'll become the richest man in the country..."

Lu Qiaoling still didn't speak.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? Old Lu didn't marry Jin Shulan for her dowry..." Zhao Haoran was speaking in the right place for Lu Qiaoling.

At this time, another man continued: "But grandfather agreed to this marriage just for the dowry... Second brother is the most powerful head of the family, and Jin Shulan is just a doctor. In the future, the Xiao family's assets will all be in the hands of Second brother... No matter how powerful the Xiao family is, without a son, they will eventually be swallowed up by our Lu family... Second brother, right..."

There was an indescribable sense of pride in that tone.

At this moment, Lu Qiaoling, who had been silent the entire time, smiled softly and finally added lazily, "It doesn't matter who I marry, but of course I have to marry the woman who can help me the most... The little affection we had when we were young isn't enough to tolerate her shortcomings."

The voice sounded a little strange, yet familiar, but the words were so horrifying.

Su Luo couldn't believe what he heard, and his breathing almost stopped:

Did he marry her just to get an astonishing dowry from the Xiao family?

How can this be?

The person who spoke just now must not be Lu Qiaoling.

To verify, she rushed in and saw several heirs of aristocratic families sitting in the room, each holding a goblet in their hands, sitting lazily - Lu Qiaoling sat in a seat facing north, the corners of her lips curled up high...

That look made her look so strange. Was this still the person she liked?

Seeing her suddenly appear, his face tensed up, he stood up, his eyes became complicated, and he called out: "Xiaoshu, why did you come here? I was just chatting with them casually..."

Is he afraid that she might hear something?

Su Luo approached and asked gravely, "What did you mean by that just now?"

Lu Qiaoling's eyes looked a little vacant: "Which sentence?"

"You're with me just so my mother can give me two-thirds of the property?"

She asked in a deep and stern voice, as if something in her heart was about to be torn apart.

Lu Qiaoling's throat twitched twice, and after a moment of silence, he finally said, "That's certainly a factor, but... the relationship between you and me has been cultivated since we were young...

"Also, Jin Shulan, can you please give me some respect in front of so many people... If we want to argue, we can do it back home..."

Around her were seven or eight family heirs of similar age, many of whom she didn't recognize, but were all well-known in the circle. Now they were looking at her with strange eyes.

Lu Qiaotian, Lu Qiaoling's fourth cousin, came over to persuade them, "Alright, it was just a joke... I'm being very kind to you... You just set the wedding date today, are you trying to spread rumors of discord? We can't wait... This marriage is already settled."

Lu Qiaoyu, Lu Qiaoling's fifth cousin, smiled and said, "Jin Shulan, although you are good-looking, you are not the most beautiful woman in the world. Marriage is about a man and a woman providing their respective value, and then each taking what they need... Although you have been slept with, you are lucky to have a lot of money... Just like your mother, she was able to marry so well in her second marriage because she had a lot of money, right?"

This pair of brothers are twin brothers. They look similar, but what they say is not nice.

Su Luo was so angry that his heart was tightening and he really wanted to slap him.

Thinking of this, she did so, but was stopped by Lu Qiaoling:

"Have you had enough trouble?"

The usually gentle man snorted with a cold face and pushed her away.

Su Luo stepped back and almost fell.

After stabilizing herself, she looked up at Lu Qiaoling again, feeling as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head. She shuddered all over - as if she were in a dream, yet as if she was completely awake.

She took a deep breath and turned away.

"How can you bear such a bad temper, second brother?"

Lu Qiaoyu was muttering there.

Lu Qiaoling just let out a breath: "I've spoiled her a little bit... You guys chat, I'll go and coax her..."

"What's there to coax?! I'm telling you, women can't be spoiled. Second brother, sit down... The more you coax a woman, the more serious she becomes... It's okay to give her the cold shoulder!"

Lu Qiaoling was still stopped.
