Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: The Eldest Sister Often Takes Advantage of Her Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: The Eldest Sister Often Takes Advantage of Her Lu Lingche spoke coldly, “Who says Qiao Yin has no friends? Even if she truly has none, what business is it of yours? Does having many friends make you a better person? Some are born introverted and not good at socializing, does it mean these people are narrow-minded?”

“Besides, you falsely accused their hospital of ruining your face, which is no small matter. That’s her bottom line–by making her back down further on her bottom line, aren’t you forcing her to accept an injustice?”

“If she really cured your face, you’d turn around and say something else, arguing that if she didn’t ruin your face in the first place, why she would need to treat you!”

Gu Ranmo looked at him in shock, her voice filled with grievance, “I didn’t, I really didn’t frame her hospital, and there’s no way I would bite her back after the fact. Lu, aren’t you being too biased toward her? You and my sister were the match; you two…”

“Shut up!”

Lu Lingche interrupted her, his gaze as cold as a knife, “It seems I didn’t berate you enough yesterday. You even brought your sister with you today seeking another scolding.”

Gu Ranxuan shielded Gu Ranmo behind her, furrowing her brows as she said to Lu Lingche, “Lingche, if you want to scold someone, scold me. Momo doesn’t know anything, she just considered you her brother-in-law from the moment she heard the two families decided on a marital alliance. Don’t blame her, she likes to think of everything in the simplest terms.”

Lu Lingche replied with some impatience, “I’m not that familiar with you, and ‘Lingche’ is not for you to call. What are you pretending for? Apart from work, have I had any personal interactions with you? Haven’t I already told you that I have someone I like?”

“I never agreed to the arranged marriage, and my father has already made it clear to President Gu. From the beginning to the end, the only person I wanted to marry was Qiao Yin!”

“If the Eldest Miss of the Gu Family cannot find someone to marry, she can look for a match. Why is she constantly tying herself to me? Or do you think if you bind me long enough, everyone will take it seriously and I’ll actually marry you?”

Gu Ranxuan’s face turned pale in an instant.

During all the time she had known Lu Lingche, this was the most he had ever said to her.

Previously, Lu Lingche wasn’t very talkative. Although he could occasionally show a strong side, he rarely displayed his emotions.

Today was the first time she witnessed him truly emotional and the first time she realized how harsh his scolding could be, leaving her no room to save face!

It took her a while to compose herself, and only then did her complexion return to normal, “President Lu must be misunderstanding. I’m not interested in you, and the only reason I agreed to the arranged marriage was not to disappoint my father. I don’t care whom you want to marry. I just don’t want my sister to be bullied, and I hope that her face can be restored as soon as possible. Is that also wrong?”

“How can you say that I’m tying myself to you, President Lu? When did this happen? I don’t even know about it.”

The impatience in Lu Lingche’s eyes deepened, “If there are no ties, then why didn’t you stop your sister from talking about me being a match with you? She even said that it was Qiao Yin who stole your fiance, coming here on purpose to insult Qiao Yin!”

“I’m already married to Qiao Yin; it was just a misunderstanding that temporarily pulled us apart. The matter of her stealing someone else’s fiance has never existed!”

“You have intentionally allowed your sister to spread rumors that I am your fiance, and you have intentionally let her insult Qiao Yin!”

Gu Ranmo’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound.

Lu Lingche had the high intelligence as rumors had it; he saw through Gu Ranxuan’s tricks in plain sight!

He realized that her sister often manipulated her, even her kindness toward Qiao Yin was fake, all to make herself seem bad in comparison to Qiao Yin.

This way, it was easy to highlight that her sister had the demeanor of the Gu Family’s First Daughter, showing consideration for the greater good!

Gu Ranxuan didn’t notice her sister’s expression; she shook her head and said with a look of disappointment, “Is that really what you think of me, President Lu? Do you believe that my vision is so narrow, confined to such petty love affairs?”

“In fact, I don’t care about these things at all. I’m not really interested in getting married; for me, marriage is just finding a business partner. Given these terms, how could I possibly let my sister create rumors?”
