Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Madam Gu, You’ve Hurt Your Nose
Qiao Yin shook her head gently, casting away thoughts she shouldn’t have, and asked in a low voice, “If Lu Lingche is to enter an alliance marriage with an aristocratic lady, what about Lan Yuyi? She has her heart set on marrying into the Lu family, marrying Lu Lingche. If Lu Lingche marries someone else, could she endure that?”
“Of course she couldn’t endure it. She comes to me crying every day, even asking me to persuade Second Brother to accept her. How could I possibly have the power to do that? Even if I did have that power, I would never persuade Second Brother to accept her.”
As Lu Yanxi spoke, her tone carried a hint of disdain: “She really has some nerve, carrying my elder brother’s child and insisting it’s Second Brother’s, tricking Second Brother into divorcing and marrying her. Now that her true colors have been revealed, she still has the face to seek out Second Brother! But you rest assured, Second Brother completely ignores her now. He won’t be fooled by her a second time.”
Qiao Yin smiled, “What is there for me to be worried about? Whether Second Brother pays attention to her or not has nothing to do with me anymore. The one who should be worried is his future wife.”
Lu Yanxi couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems like you truly don’t like Second Brother anymore. You can still smile even though I mention he’s marrying someone else. Second Brother really has no blessings—can’t marry you. He must be secretly crying now.”
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but chuckle at her words. Lu Lingche secretly crying? The thought itself was amusing.
However, Lu Lingche would never cry. He would only make others cry. He himself would not shed a single tear.
After lunch, Lu Yanxi left with Old Madam, off to attend to her auction business. Qiao Yin also drove to Shensong Hospital, ready to continue teaching Medical Knowledge to patient number 517, hoping to get him to work at her medical clinic sooner.
However, when she arrived at her office, she saw Hou Jinhua standing at the entrance with an impatient look, seemingly having waited for her for quite a while.
Qiao Yin’s steps paused for a moment before she treated Hou Jinhua like thin air, passing her and opening the door to her office.
As Hou Jinhua tried to follow her in, Qiao Yin slammed the door shut, and then she heard Hou Jinhua let out a muffled groan, followed by an angry kick at the door and cursing, “You little bitch, you’re so nasty! Doing it on purpose! Open the door this instant!”
Qiao Yin opened the door to see Hou Jinhua’s nose all red from the impact, feeling slightly pleased, “Oh dear, Madam Gu, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you say anything? Look at you, you’ve hit your nose. It’s not like you were pretty to begin with, and now with a ruined nose, isn’t it uglier? Better be more careful next time!”
Fearing that arguing with Qiao Yin outside might attract the attention of acquaintances, Hou Jinhua entered Qiao Yin’s office, glaring at her viciously, “You dared to bump my nose on purpose? Are you trying to disfigure me?”
“How could I, Madam Gu? Although you had me disfigured, I’m not as vicious as you. Since your face already somewhat resembles being disfigured, there’s no need for me to lift a finger. Don’t you think?”
Hou Jinhua sneered, “You’re so sharp-tongued and cutting in front of me, but in front of my father-in-law and my husband, you play innocent and kind. You’re really scheming and good at pretending! Only I know your true face; everyone else has been fooled by you! I wonder, if your true face were exposed, who would still speak up for you then!”
“Madam Gu, you’ve already disfigured me; you don’t think I would still be kind to you, do you?”
Qiao Yin looked at her as if she were looking at an idiot, “Do you think you’re the only smart person in the world and everyone else is a fool? I treat others the way they treat me. If all you can see is my sharp tongue, then it only proves you’re just as sharp-tongued. You have no right to speak about me.”
Hou Jinhua turned white with anger, “I am not sharp-tongued and cutting. Your mother seduced my husband, and now you’re seducing my husband and son. It would be too light a punishment to disfigure your face! I should expose you and your mother’s deeds, let you be socially dead! Let you and your mother be spat on for a thousand years!”
What do you think?
