Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Yu Huili used the remaining money to buy things from the west, which are now piled up in this courtyard.

Qiao Luo was a little angry, but that was all she could do.

After all, it was already quite an achievement to get back that 1.95 million.

After receiving the money, Qiao Luo left the Qiao family home without staying long. As soon as she reached the gate, Qiao Yuanzhe caught up with her.

"Sis, is it true that you're already married?"

Qiao Yuanzhe stopped in front of her, panting.

Although Qiao Luo had mentioned the words "brother-in-law" before, Qiao Yuanzhe still refused to believe it.

Qiao Luo nodded when she heard Qiao Yuanzhe ask that question.

"So...do you like him?" Qiao Yuanzhe asked again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo fell silent.

For Lu Tingnian, talking about liking someone is too much of a luxury; after all, she doesn't deserve it.

Thinking this way, she said to Qiao Yuanzhe:

“Yuan Zhe, liking someone is a matter between lovers, but it is not necessary in marriage. Perhaps marriage is more about responsibility and obligation.”

Just like with Lu Tingnian, responsibility and obligation far outweighed liking.

Qiao Yuanzhe didn't quite understand, and Qiao Luo didn't explain further, only saying,

You'll understand later.

The siblings parted ways at the door.

After leaving the Qiao family, Qiao Luo went home. The first thing she did when she got home was to return the money to Lu Tingnian. In order to raise two million, she even borrowed 50,000 from her best friend Fang Yan to make up the difference.

When Lu Tingnian saw the check, he had just spoken to Han Jian on the phone. Han Jian had told him earlier that Gu Qiyan had been transferred from the hospital to the detention center.

However, after arriving at the detention center, he began to viciously attack him, accusing him of having someone use vigilante justice to harm him and saying he would pursue legal action against him.

Han Jian said, "President Lu, we have been too lenient with him."

Han Jian was indignant. If it weren't for Miss Qiao's presence, he could have been even more bloody.

Lu Tingnian, however, did not react at all, and even comforted Han Jian, saying, "He's just a clown, not worth your trouble."

Han Jian thought about it and agreed. Only important figures like Gu Qiyan would catch President Lu's eye.

Near the end, Han Jian brought up the matter of Qiao Luo's stepmother. After all, Gu Qiyan's car had been following behind theirs the whole time, and it would have been difficult to obtain their location so accurately without someone secretly helping them.

Therefore, Han Jian suspected it was Yu Huili.

Lu Tingnian also had his doubts. Although he had signed an agreement to sever ties with the Qiao family, he remained cautious and would not allow anyone around Qiao Luo to harm her.

Therefore, he gave instructions to Han Jian.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

"Yes."

The two had just finished their call when Qiao Luo returned. Lu Tingnian saw her and maneuvered his wheelchair to greet her.

"Where did you go?"

He asked gently, after all, he hadn't seen her all afternoon.

Qiao Luo didn't answer, but instead said to Lu Tingnian, "I have something I want to tell you."

Every time she said this, she had this serious expression, and Lu Tingnian thought something had happened to her, so he let her push him into the bedroom.

Once they reached the bedroom, he asked, "What's wrong? What's making you so cautious?"

Qiao Luo didn't answer, but instead handed over the check and said,

“This is the two million you gave to my family before, and now I’m returning it to you in full.”

She placed the check in his hand.

Lu Tingnian wasn't surprised when he saw the check. After all, he hadn't intended to hide it from Qiao Luo, as she was the person involved and had the right to know. However, he didn't expect her to find out so quickly.

Who told her?

Are they from the Qiao family?

Lu Tingnian had no idea. He looked at Qiao Luo and asked, "Why did you do this?"
