Chapter 488: Divorce(9)
"Lu Jinnian, most often, the woman is blamed, not the man. You are wrong as well, but nobody will blame you, everyone will point fingers at Qiao Qiao.
"You said you love her, but is this your love?
"You ruined her reputation, how is she going to live in Beijing like this?"
Due to Qiao Anxia's agitation, her words turned sharp and ruthless.
She paused, and her voice next was calmer than before. "Besides, Lu Jinnian, her parents died young, the only kin she has left are me and my parents. Do you really want her to be left alone by herself?"
Lu Jinnian clenched the coffee cup.
Silence enveloped the office.
Qiao Anxia stood in front of his table, staring at him for a long while before saying, "I have said my piece, the rest is up to you. Good bye!"
She paused for a bit, then turned and left.
Outside, Lu Jinnian's assistant politely greeted her when she left, "Miss Qiao."
Ignoring him, she headed straight for the elevator.
On the way to Qiao house, Qiao Anhao kept wondering what could have happened, she even thought that it was because of her aunt and uncle's health. The more she thought, the more worried she became. After enduring the entire ride back, without care, she hurriedly ran into the house.
The housekeeper was the one who opened the door. When she saw Qiao Anhao, she spoke in a low voice. "Mister, Missus, Miss Qiao is back."
After changing her shoes, Qiao Anhao walked inside in a daze. The atmosphere in the living room was tense, and Han Ruchu was there as well. She studied the three of them before greeting them. "Aunt, Uncle, Auntie Xu."
Han Ruchu remained distant, ignoring Qiao Anhao. Her uncle nodded and her aunt stood up with a stack of photos. "Qiao Qiao, come with me."
Qiao Anhao nodded her head in confusion, following her aunt up to the second floor.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
Faced with Qiao Anhao's question, her aunt passed the photos over.
Qiao Anhao reached over and saw that it was photos of her and Lu Jinnian eating. She froze, but before she could speak, her aunt spoke up. "Qiao Qiao, even though I don't know what exactly happened between you and Xu family's illegitimate son, but I believe you, yet that doesn't mean that auntie Xu believes you.
"Now that you are married to Jiamu, you should be more wary of your actions and should keep a distance from other guys, else it'll bring shame to Xu family.
"Besides, the Qiao and Xu families have deep ties. I don't want to mention anything, but deep inside, you should know what to do." After a slight pause, she continued, "Qiao Qiao, you should know that Lu Jinnian has always been a thorn in auntie Xu's heart. You should keep your distance."
