At the hotel.
Lu Yihan had asked the manager to prepare a private room. It was very quiet as the two of them sat opposite each other. Xin Yu looked at the man opposite her, who was smoking with his eyes narrowed. Occasionally, he would look at her and she felt a little uneasy. At this moment, her phone beeped. It was probably the sound of a text message.
Her fingers twitched. After thinking for a while, she decided not to check it immediately.
"Why didn't you pick up the phone?" Lu Yihan had also heard the sound. He flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked her.
"Lu Yihan, did you want me to come up and smoke with you?" Along the way, the panic in Xinyu's heart had more or less calmed down. At this moment, she had regained her composure. She frowned and looked at Lu Yihan. "If you want to smoke, you don't have to make me accompany you to smoke so much second-hand smoke right? If there's nothing important, I'll take my leave first — "
"Sit down!"
Just as Xin Yu was about to get up, Lu Yihan said coldly.
Xin Yu pursed her lips and looked at him calmly. "What do you want to talk to me about? Master Lu, my time is precious. "
"Qi Mingye's plot of land in B City is in your hands?"
Sure enough, it was about the plot of land. Xin Yu calmed down a little. She continued to look at the languid man opposite her calmly. "Yes, it's in my hands."
There was no need to hide it. Lu Yihan must have investigated it thoroughly.
Sure enough, he nodded and looked at her with an unfathomable depth in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "Leng Xinyu, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
"…"
How could she know what he was thinking?
Lu Yihan seemed to have seen through her thoughts. She smiled and raised one of her eyebrows. "I'm thinking, have I always underestimated you, or … have you become so powerful that people can't help but look at you in a different light?"
He knew that she had a close relationship with Qi Mingye, but he never expected that when he needed that piece of land the most, it would be transferred to her name so quickly.
As far as he knew, Qi Mingye had not had any contact with her all these years. Even if they met now, such a priceless piece of land had been transferred to her name just like that. Did Qi Mingye really … have so much money that he had nowhere to spend it?
Lu Yihan did not believe it. Who in the business world was not selfish? How could Qi Mingye be so generous? And it just had to be when he needed the land the most.
This matter was not as simple as it seemed!
"Master Lu, what do you want to say? Get straight to the point."
Xin Yu frowned impatiently. She straightened her back and said, "You want that piece of land in B City, right? I know that's why you came looking for me today. "
"Give me a price."
Lu Yihan narrowed one eye. His tone was lazy, but it carried a sense of arrogance. He was a young master who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Money was always easy and useful to him. Whatever he wanted, it could be bought with money. "Since you already know, there's no need to beat around the bush. Leng Xinyu, how much do you want? Give me the land, hm? "
They finally came to the main topic. Xin Yu pursed her lips and did not beat around the bush. She reached out and took out the land transfer document from her bag and placed it on the table. Then she stretched out two fair fingers and pushed it in front of Lu Yihan. She said calmly, "I don't want a single cent. If Master Lu wants the land, I can give it to you for free. However, I have two requests. If you can fulfill them, we can sign the contract immediately."
Lu Yihan put out his cigarette and nodded. "Let's hear them."
"First, sign a contract with the Lu Clan in my name for this piece of land. After the project is completed, 30% of the profits will go to Qi Mingye's Ming Sheng Group. The Lu Clan will take 70% of the entire project. I don't think the Lu Clan will lose out. Secondly, along with the 5% shares of the Lu Corporation that Dad gave me last time and this piece of land, I'll give them all to you. However, you have to sign our divorce agreement. "
— — Divorce, it's divorce again!
Lu Yihan's gaze towards Xin Yu suddenly became sharper, the hands on his knees also subconsciously clenched into fists. His face was gloomy as he stared at Xin Yu without blinking.
Xin Yu was actually a little afraid of his gaze. Lu Yihan was a temperamental person. In the past, she always thought that no matter what he did, he would at most mock and ridicule her. However, after what happened at the Lu residence, she still had a lingering fear of him.
However, today's situation did not allow her to back down.
Besides, this was a hotel. He probably wouldn't do anything embarrassing.
Xinyu comforted herself. Her back that was already straight subconsciously straightened a bit and bravely met Lu Yihan's gaze.
When Lu Yihan saw the determination in her eyes, he was furious. Instead, he laughed coldly and said, "Fine, Leng Xinyu, you're really something. You want to divorce me, right?"
Xin Yu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. The answer was self-evident. She wanted a divorce!
Lu Yihan's smirk deepened, but the coldness in his eyes intensified. "Now, are you threatening me with this piece of land and the 5% shares of the Lu Clan?"
"…"
"Who taught you to do this?" Lu Yihan lowered his gaze and glanced at the land transfer agreement in front of him. He laughed coldly and said, "Qin Fangang? Did he teach you to do this to me? "
At the sudden mention of Qin Fangang, Xin Yu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She knew that she was actually feeling guilty. Her sense of shame was constantly spurring her on, making her unable to even refute. "… Lu Yihan, don't drag Qin Fangang into everything, okay? Is this the first time I've said that I want a divorce? Moreover, I really don't understand why you won't divorce me. Haven't you always hated my existence? Divorce is the best choice for both of us. "
"I do hate your existence, but who said that if I hate you, I must divorce you?"
Xin Yu: "…"
What kind of logic was this? If she hated him and didn't divorce him, were they supposed to live with each other hating each other for the rest of their lives? Sorry, she really couldn't do that.
"Lu Yihan, I'm really, sincerely discussing a divorce with you. I hope you won't make things difficult for me, and don't make things difficult for yourself. Lan Ruoran isn't —"
"Shut up!"
Lu Yihan frowned and interrupted Xin Yu sternly. "Five years ago, when you married me, did you ever think that this day would come? For the past five years, you were in England, using the Lu family's money. Did you ever think that this day would come? You want a divorce, huh? You had so many opportunities in the past five years, but you didn't mention it. Now, Leng Xinyu, tell me, do you really have nothing to do with Qin Fangang? Or … did you and him already have a secret affair, so now you want to kick me out of the way? This — "
He reached out and grabbed the land transfer agreement on the table. He threw it fiercely in front of Xin Yu and said with a cold expression, "Didn't Qin Fangang pave the way for you? Why are you standing in front of me and negotiating with me? Leng Xinyu, when did you become so smart? That Qi Mingye was willing to transfer this priceless piece of land to you. What right do you have, huh? "
"And what right do you have to look down on me?"
Xinyu furrowed her brows and retorted instinctively. She knew that she only had one chance. She was betting everything on this one throw and only wanted to succeed. Because of this thought, the words that came out of her mouth became even more resolute. "Perhaps to you, Lu Yihan, when you measure people, you only use money and power as your standard. But Uncle Mingye did indeed transfer this piece of land to me! Why do you have to drag Qin Fangang into this? What does this have to do with him? Lu Yihan, don't make so many excuses for yourself. I don't want to explain all this to you. There's no need to. It's very tiring. But the 5% shares of the Lu Clan and this piece of land are now under my name, Leng Xinyu. So, I'll still say the same thing. Divorce me and I'll give you everything you want! "
"In your dreams!"
Lu Yihan also stood up. He was a head taller than her. As they stood facing each other, it was obvious that he was looking down on her. He pursed his thin lips tightly and spat out each word clearly, "Leng Xinyu, I'm telling you clearly now — I won't divorce you. I don't have to do the project. It's not like the Lu Clan can't afford to lose it. As for you wanting to divorce me … Haha, did you agree to my request? I asked you to have sex with me five times, but you refused. Then, you'll sit on the throne of Lady Lu and enjoy it. "
He curled his lips frivolously and reached out to touch Xin Yu's face.
Xin Yu's body stiffened. She instinctively leaned back and avoided Lu Yihan's outstretched fingers. The man's slender fingers stopped in mid-air. There was a moment of stiffness, but he didn't seem embarrassed at all.
He smiled. His already handsome features relaxed. When he smiled, he looked even more devilish and unbridled, just like his tone at that moment. "I, Lu Yihan, am a man of my words. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't want it. So, you won't get another chance in the future. Take the 5% shares of the Lu Clan and this piece of land. My Lady Lu, you can't be too shabby. With these, you'll live with more confidence. "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
…
Xin Yu stood alone at the table. She lowered her eyes and stared at the land transfer agreement. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists by her sides.
She thought that Lu Yihan would at least consider it. But he'd rather lose the project and embarrass himself in front of Qin Fangang than consider it …
Divorce … This road seemed to be getting harder and harder. What exactly did she have to do to make Lu Yihan sign the divorce agreement willingly?
Xin Yu left the hotel and called Mu Chenchu. She had just returned to D City in the wee hours of the morning. She must have taken the day off and didn't go to work. When he drove over to pick her up, she had just taken a shower. Her hair was still wet and draped over her shoulders. She was only wearing a casual set of home clothes.
