My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

At that time, he had even insisted that Lan Yuyi abort their child. If he truly liked Lan Yuyi, how could he have asked her to do such a thing?

However, at a time like this, Qiao Lainan would never show weakness: “Regardless, Lu Lingche likes Lan Yuyi, not you! Will you help me or not?”

“No, I won’t. You’re just an ungrateful wretch, I’d sooner help a dog than you.”

“Hmph, then I will go find Young Master Gu and tell him everything about you – your divorce, your abortion – and see if he still wants to be with you!”

Of course, Qiao Yin didn’t fear Gu Jing finding out about her past, but it couldn’t be now.

She still needed the connection to Gu Jing, and she couldn’t mess it up, not yet.

She coolly said, “If you dare to tell him, I will immediately inform your in-laws about where you are, so they can drag you back home.”

Qiao Lainan’s face turned pale: “You dare?!”

“There’s nothing I won’t dare to do. It depends on whether you want a few more days of happiness, or go back home and be beaten again. Choose for yourself. Now, get out. I don’t want to see you anymore.”

Qiao Lainan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn’t utter a word. With an icy huff, she turned and left.

Seeing her finally leave, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but rub her forehead, sinking deeply into a chair.

She wondered if Qiao Lainan would come again. If she dared to annoy Qiao Yin once more, she would stop being polite and give her a few firm jabs to set her straight.

Every day was already a race against time, and she thought it wasn’t worth it to waste her time and energy on Qiao Lainan.

After drinking some water and changing her white coat, Qiao Yin carefully took off her necklace and put it away, to prevent her grandmother and cousin from spotting it and sparking an endless interrogation.

The day passed quickly.

In the evening, Qiao Lainan tailed Gu Jing and ended up at a restaurant.

She initially intended to seek out Gu Jing inside, but the security team stopped her because she was dressed like a beggar, refusing to let her enter.

Qiao Lainan stomped her foot in anger, but she didn’t have any other options.

Outside the restaurant’s crystal clear glass windows, her ragged silhouette was reflected. Her hair was a disheveled mess as she hadn’t washed it in days, and her clothes were even worse, displaying tear after tear and grime.

To say she looked like a beggar would be a compliment.

Even the city’s beggars lived better than she did.

She’d sneaked into the city hoping to stay at her uncle’s for a while.

But her aunt, who was fuming over losing her villa, simply chewed her out and chased her away, calling her an ill omen.

She’d been having a hard time these past few days, without even a place to stay.

Thankfully, she’d stolen a bit of money from her mother-in-law when she ran away from home, so she was barely getting by with enough food to eat, or else she would have starved to death.

As late autumn turned to early winter, the night wind grew increasingly piercing.

Huddling in her ragged clothes, Qiao Lainan saw that Gu Jing, who was having dinner inside, might not come out for quite a while. So she ran to the nearby trash bins and started rummaging.

She wasn’t looking for food – she was looking for clothing.

After searching through five or six trash bins, she finally found a bag of old clothes.

After picking them over, she managed to find two wearable items and put them on.

Despite being thin and ill-fitting, at least they were cleaner than what she had been wearing.

She returned to the restaurant entrance and waited beside Gu Jing’s glaring sports car.

She had to wait for more than two hours before she saw a drunken Gu Jing being helped out of the restaurant.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She quickly stood up and rushed over, “Young Master Gu!”

Upon seeing her, Gu Jing jumped in surprise, “Who are you?”

Qiao Lainan managed to squeeze out a soft, gentle expression, “Young Master Gu, don’t you remember me? We met this morning at my cousin’s clinic. My name is Qiao Lainan, I’m Qiao Yin’s cousin; may I have a few words with you?”
