Qi Mingye reached out and gently patted the back of Xin Yu's hand. "Don't be in such a hurry to reject me. I haven't finished speaking."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and waited for Qi Mingye to continue.
"… Actually, your father-in-law, Lu Shiyun, has quite a good reputation in the business circle. I also know that he was the one who arranged your marriage with Lu Yihan, so I don't think he will make things difficult for you. But, does your mother-in-law … treat you well? "
As for Li Muhua, anyone who knew a little about the Lu family would also know about her situation.
She had high standards. When she was young, she was the unruly and willful type. Now that she was older and had children, she was still arrogant. Of course, it was not that she did not have the right to be like this.
When she married Lu Shiyun, she married him as the elder sister of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary in D City.
Of course, Li Muhua played a big part in the Lu Clan's growth back then.
Of course, Xin Yu was not very clear about all this. After she married Lu Yihan, she went straight to England. She did not know much about the complicated background of the Lu family. In addition, after she left D City, Li Muhua's younger brother, who used to be the secretary of D City's Municipal Party Committee, suddenly died. The Li family also sealed off the news, so this matter was quickly covered up by other storms.
Five years later, not many people brought it up.
However, Qi Mingye knew a little about this incident. Because back then, when the Leng family was in trouble, he paid some attention to it after he returned. But back then, his business had just started, so he did not have the time to care about these things.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. Now, no one mentioned what happened back then. If it were not for Xin Yu, Qi Mingye would not have thought about it.
Now that he asked Xinyu such a question, he didn't have any other intentions. He was just an elder who was concerned about the younger generation. In the past, Qi Mingye had always assumed that Xin Yu would have a good life in the Lu family, so he had never looked for her. However, at a dinner party, he happened to hear someone mention the Young Madam of the Lu family, Lu Yihan's wife, Lady Lu, who had married into the family for five years but was never liked by her husband. Only then did Qi Mingye realize that he had been too optimistic.
— — A mother-in-law like Li Muhua didn't treat her well, and a playboy like Lu Yihan didn't care about her at all.
…
Xin Yu knew that Qi Mingye was actually just concerned about her situation. This uncle had been very good to her when she was young. Every time she did something wrong and her parents blamed her, Qi Mingye would always defend her when she was young.
During this period of time, she had been under so much pressure that she couldn't breathe. Now, Qi Mingye was like an elder who asked her so carefully and with great concern, "How are you doing?"
Xin Yu really couldn't control herself. Her heart ached. She still had a bellyful of anger from the hospital this morning. Now, it seemed like it was fermenting, causing her emotions to surge.
After a while, she clenched her fists tightly under the table. Suppressing the bitterness in her throat, she said, "… I'm doing quite well. Uncle, you don't have to worry. I'm all grown up now and know how to take care of myself."
Qi Mingye looked at Xin Yu, who was sitting across from him, and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't like to beat around the bush. Moreover, time was tight, so he didn't intend to beat around the bush anymore. He got straight to the point and said, "I know that you definitely won't tell me how bad your life is. I also want you to do well, Xin Yu. During the five years that you weren't in D City, your husband, Lu Yihan from the Lu Clan … He also did a lot of ridiculous things. How can a playboy who makes the headlines every other day give you happiness? "
Qi Mingye's face was filled with righteous indignation, which warmed Xin Yu's heart.
"I know that you went to England previously. Actually, I feel a little guilty. If I hadn't been busy with my own business and took care of your family's situation, your parents wouldn't have ended up like this. After that, something happened to your family and I couldn't rush over immediately … Anyway, your father is my best friend. Now that he's like this, I really feel … worse than suffering myself."
"So, this piece of land is my compensation to you."
"Uncle, you really don't have to …" Xin Yu looked like she was in a difficult position. She really couldn't accept such a generous gift.
Qi Mingye interrupted her and motioned for her to calm down. "Listen to me first. The reason why I'm giving you this piece of land is to help you. Speaking of which, this matter is also destined. Lu Yihan had a project in hand before, and the person he was working with was also a real estate developer in A City. Unfortunately, that person suddenly got into a lawsuit. He also had some business crimes before, and now that his background has been exposed, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that he'll go to jail. Lu Yihan's project couldn't continue, so he found out that I also have a piece of land. So, he asked his assistant to contact me several times. He probably wants to sign a contract with me. "
Xin Yu was stunned. What a surprise.
She had only read about this matter in the morning from Qin Fangang's newspaper. At the time, Qin Fangang had also casually mentioned that he was already looking for his next project.
Who would have thought that this person was actually Uncle Mingye?
"… He looked for me several times, but I had no intention of meeting him. I'm not afraid of the Lu Clan, I just don't want to work with this man. But last night, I thought about it and thought that it would be better to transfer this piece of land to your name. I think this Lu Yihan is determined to get this piece of land. How about this? Now that he wants to be in your hands, he definitely won't treat you like before. Do you understand what I mean? "
…
How could she not understand?
Qi Mingye's meaning was very clear. Now that the land was in Xin Yu's hands, if Lu Yihan wanted to sign a contract, wouldn't he have to go through her?
Xin Yu's fingers tightened around the cup. Almost at the same time, two words flashed across her mind — divorce.
If she really had this piece of land, when the time came for Lu Yihan to sign a contract with her, wouldn't she have a better chance of getting a divorce?
It was obvious that Lu Yihan didn't want to divorce her now. She didn't know why he was dragging this out, but no matter what, Xin Yu felt that they had to get a divorce. But she had already given him 5% of the Lu Clan's shares, yet he was still indifferent. Then, when the time came and she added this piece of land … would he agree?
This was too tempting. Xin Yu was now anxious to get rid of Lu Yihan, but when she thought about this piece of land, how could she accept it?
After thinking about it, she finally said, "Uncle Mingye, if you want to give me this piece of land, I definitely can't accept it. How about this? You give it to me for the time being. In the future, I don't want a single cent of the profits from the Lu Clan's project. I'll give it all to you, okay?"
"You silly child. Since I'm giving it to you, why would I care about the profits?"
"But …"
"No buts. Actually, your father helped me a lot back then." Qi Mingye resisted the urge to sigh. Whenever Leng Dongming was mentioned, his face would always be filled with pity and sadness. "… If it weren't for your father, Qi Mingye definitely wouldn't be who he is today. Back then, when we went out to sea together, he saved my life. "
"…"
"Xin Yu, this is Uncle Mingye's compensation for you. Think about it. Compared to a life, this piece of land is nothing. Accept it as a matter of course and use it well. If you need any help, feel free to come to City A to look for me. When I have time, I'll also come to City D to visit you. I've already asked the lawyer to come over. Just sign the papers in a while and it'll be fine. "
Xin Yu couldn't refuse such a great opportunity. This was the best opportunity to divorce Lu Yihan.
However, she also felt very apologetic about accepting Qi Mingye's generous gift. But now, no matter what she said, Qi Mingye definitely wouldn't accept it. After thinking about it, she decided that after settling her marriage, she would rationalize this piece of land. When the time came, she would return the money she earned to Qi Mingye no matter what.
The dishes were quickly served. The two of them casually chatted for a while. Qi Mingye asked about Leng Dongming's situation. Xin Yu only gave a conservative answer. Generally speaking, things were not bad now. Occasionally, she would think about the past. In the end, Qi Mingye's assistant called. It was probably about work.
After answering the call, Qi Mingye said to Xin Yu, "It's almost time. The plane ticket I bought will take off in two hours. I'm going to the airport now."
Xin Yu quickly stood up. "Uncle, let me take you to the airport."
"It's okay. I have a car. I can go there directly." Qi Mingye handed the documents he had just signed to Xin Yu. He said earnestly, "Child, take good care of yourself. I'm in City A. If you need anything, remember to look for me, okay?"
Xin Yu nodded emotionally. "… Thank you, Uncle."
Other than thanking him, Xin Yu didn't know what else to say. Qi Mingye was very busy. After chatting for a while, another call came in. Xin Yu didn't want to disturb him again, so she walked him out of the private room. Soon, two men who looked like assistants came over and led Qi Mingye away.
She stood alone in the same spot. The dishes in the private room had already been paid for and she was almost done eating. She put the documents in her bag. In her heart, she was still wondering if she should look for Lu Yihan now.
However, if he really had his eyes on this piece of land, she didn't need to look for him. He would definitely look for her.
Xin Yu felt that her top priority now was to seize this opportunity and come up with a foolproof plan. When the time came to negotiate with Lu Yihan, she could directly sign the divorce agreement.
However, when she thought of Lu Shiyun, she still felt a little apologetic. For the past five years, he had been very good to her. Now that she was determined to divorce Lu Yihan … he would definitely be very sad when the time came, right?
However, in this society, who wouldn't think for themselves? Truly, every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost! She, Leng Xinyu, was just an ordinary woman like you and her. She didn't want to continue this suffocating marriage no matter what.
