Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 126 Of course, it's because I love you!

The man over there seemed quite pleased with her reaction, saying, "It's good that you know fear; it proves there's still hope."

"How do you plan to save her?" Qiao Luo asked quickly.

The man on the other end of the phone,

“Give us five million. As soon as we get five million, we’ll stop immediately.”

Goodness, five million? That's outrageous! She must have believed those online rumors that she married a rich second-generation heir.

Qiao Luo felt helpless; what could she do when her husband, Lu Tingnian, looked like a rich second-generation?

She said, "What if I don't give it to them?"

"If you don't give it to us, you'll face social death!"

The man over there said menacingly.

Qiao Luo pretended to be scared and said, "Please don't do anything reckless. I'll give you the money, I'll give you the money."

"That's right. I'll give you an account number in a bit. Remember to transfer the money there."

The other side hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound coming from inside, Qiao Luo smiled victoriously.

"Mr. Han, has it all been recorded?"

Han Jianchao gave her an OK sign.

Qiao Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, soon another call came in, this time from an old acquaintance.

Qiao Luo answered the call.

"Hey, Qiao Luo, I heard you're trending on social media."

Gu Qiyan's somewhat mocking voice came from the other end.

Just as Qiao Luo had predicted, he was the second one to break in.

She said, "You saw it all."

Gu Qiyan: "Of course, you're so famous now, it would be hard for me not to see you."

"So, you called specifically to see me make a fool of myself?" Qiao Luo asked, frowning.

Gu Qiyan quickly replied, "Of course not, I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Qiao Luo asked, puzzled.

Gu Qiyan said, "That's right. If you'd like, I can help you clarify things."

"clarify?"

"Yes, I saw some of those comments about you before. I can help you clarify the part about our relationship."

"Oh? How do you plan to clarify this?" Qiao Luo asked.

Gu Qiyan said, "I will post to identify myself as the person involved and tell them that things are not as they say. We broke up normally and there are no other reasons involved, including being materialistic or cheating."

"is it?"

"However, you have to agree to one condition first."

"What are the conditions?" Qiao Luo listened attentively.

Gu Qiyan paused for a moment before saying, "Divorce that woman surnamed Lu and marry me immediately."

"Really? But divorce requires a cooling-off period. Can you afford to wait that long?"

"Of course, as long as you divorce that man surnamed Lu immediately, I will help you clear your name."

Hearing Gu Qiyan's promise, Qiao Luo almost laughed. She really didn't understand why Gu Qiyan was so determined to break her up with Lu Tingnian.

Don't tell me it's because you like her or can't forget her; she's not stupid.

But she had to continue playing dumb until she got the real reason.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to him about divorce right away. But before that, you have to tell me the truth: why do you insist on marrying me?"

He must have had an ulterior motive for repeatedly trying to sow discord between her and Lu Tingnian in front of her.

She deliberately misspoke, feigning a very moved expression, and Gu Qiyan believed her.

He said,

"Of course it's because I love you."

Love her?

Qiao Luo felt nauseous. If he had said that before, she might have believed him, but now, after everything that had happened, if she still believed him, wouldn't she be completely hopeless?

She frowned. "Really? So you still love me. Well, let's wait for news then."

With that, she hung up the phone.

"Miss Qiao, everything has been recorded as you instructed. Would you like to listen to it?"
