Chapter 769 - 769: Announcing the End of His Marriage
Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Announcing the End of His Marriage
After leaving the Gu family home, Qiao Yin drove back to the medical clinic.
Throughout the drive, she was in deep concentration, replaying the events from before.
She could sense that Madam Gu had a considerable antipathy towards her, even towards her mother.
Initially she had only suspected Gu Chengqiao to be the murderer of her mother, but now, she had one more person under suspicion.
Gu Guotai was essentially ruled out as a suspect, as his appreciation for her did not appear to be insincere, and his reaction when meeting her for the first time was relatively mild.
The one who had the strongest reaction to her, however, was Madam Gu.
As each passing day narrowed the window for justice, anxiety inevitably grew within Qiao Yin’s heart. She was desperate to find the real killer of her mother, but at the moment, she had no leads.
This could not continue – her contact with the Gu family members was too scarce, especially with Gu Chengqiao and Madam Gu. Her only chance was during her visits to treat Gu Guotai, and even then, she couldn’t probe too much.
However, if she could move into the Gu family home, things would be different!
Qiao Yin thought of Gu Jing again.
She wondered if she could use Gu Jing to move into the Gu household, ideally to live with the family of Gu Chengqiao instead of Gu Guotai.
It seemed she had to keep trying to win over Gu Jing.
After returning to the clinic, Qiao Yin took out her mobile phone and opened an app. A prominent red dot was flashing non-stop on it.

She had managed to get hold of Gu Jing’s mobile phone at the bar last night and installed a tracking app when he was not paying attention.
Now, tracking Gu Jing had become much more convenient. She no longer needed to follow him around physically.
The tracking software showed that Gu Jing was still at the Gu household and hadn’t gone out.
Qiao Yin sighed. As long as Gu Jing stayed at home, she had no chance to get close to him.
For now, she had to put her thoughts of revenge to rest. She opened the news app and started browsing through the headlines.
It was a part of her daily routine – firstly, to keep up with the important events, and secondly, to see if she was in the news.
But strangely enough, there wasn’t a single piece about her.
The scene at the bar last night had stirred up quite a buzz. She had seen many people taking pictures and videos, yet not even one image or video surfaced today.
Qiao Yin was puzzled. Why was that?
A couple of days ago, when Dongfang Mu and Gu Jing had a dispute over her, it became a hot topic with plenty of photos and videos leaking out.
Yesterday, even a more prominent figure, Lu Lingche, was involved. Yet, there were absolutely no leaked photos today?
Could it be possible that Lu Lingche had managed to pull down those news pieces?
After a moment of thought, Qiao Yin concluded that this was the only possibility. After all, he was the only one capable of keeping last night’s incident from leaking onto the internet.
Qiao Yin didn’t harbor the vain thought that he did it for her. She believed that Lu Lingche did it to maintain his own reputation.
After all, he was still technically married. If news were to break about him fighting with Gu Jing over a woman, it would harm not just his personal reputation, but his family’s as well. The corporation’s stocks could even take a hit.
While Qiao Yin was engrossed in her thoughts, another news alert popped up on her mobile.
The headline read: “Lu Lingche Announces the End of his Marriage!”
An odd sensation arose within Qiao Yin.
Lu Lingche did not mention a divorce from Lan Yuyi because they were not really married. The headline merely announced the end of his marriage, a subtly which probably only those who knew the inside story would understand.
Just as she was about to click onto the article, another news alert popped up: “Shocking! Lu Lingche Announces His Son is Not His!”
Qiao Yin was taken aback. With disbelief, she clicked onto the news story.
A moment later, she still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
Lu Lingche had really announced the end of his marriage with Lan Yuyi, and even revealed that the child was his elder brother Lu Shengqing’s!
Had he gone mad? Hadn’t he been defending Lan Yuyi and the child at all costs previously?
Why would he now reveal the child’s true identity?
Was he no longer protective of his elder brother’s feelings? Didn’t he fear that his brother would be unhappy from beyond the grave?
