Chapter 316: Revealed the True Face Qiao Lainan refused to accept it! She pleaded pitifully, “The water is so hot that I’ll get scalded if I hold it. Assistant Lin, please spare me, don’t torture me anymore.” But the assistant was unmoved by her antics, “I saw you pinch Miss Qiao’s injured wrist. You had sinister motives and intentionally scalded her. Now it’s your turn to face the consequences. Accept it.” “But, my cousin already splashed hot water on me, and she directly splashed it on my face!” “When she splashed on you, the water wasn’t as hot. Your face didn’t even turn red, but Miss Qiao’s hand was deeply reddened.” Qiao Lainan cried while covering her face, “How could the water not be hot? It’s still really hot, my face is in so much pain! Assistant Lin, do you have something against me? President Lu has already divorced my cousin, why are you still siding with her and not me?” “I don’t have anything against you, but President Lu does. If you don’t accept this kettle, you can forget about stepping into Shengling Corporation ever again. You decide for yourself.” Qiao Lainan was both shocked and angry, but after some thought, she was really afraid that she would never be able to return again. Ads by PubFuture
She gritted her teeth and accepted the kettle, holding it in her arms. As soon as she touched the kettle, she was scalded, causing her to shake her hand and spill the boiling hot water. She cried out in pain: “Assistant Lin, this won’t work, it’s really too hot! Please go and talk to President Lu for me. I really realize my mistake, I won’t scald my cousin anymore!” The assistant was indifferent to her cries. Seeing her hands turn red from the scalds satisfied him—he could now report back to his boss. — Qiao Yin drove home and her wrist started to throb—the result of slapping Lu Lingche. She was indeed more accustomed to using her right hand, used it subconsciously, forgetting that it was fractured. She should have kept the brace on. Once she got home, she immediately called Qiao Haidong: “It was Lu Lingche who stopped those pharmaceutical companies from buying your herbs.” “What?!” Fị dd ew upd t s on n(o)v/e/l in(.)com Ads by PubFuture
Qiao Haidong never dreamed that it would be Lu Lingche, “Didn’t I already send Lainan to him? Why does he still want to harm me?!” “So, it was you who sent her.” Qiao Yin’s rage was indescribable: “Qiao Haidong, I sought Lu Lingche in order for your herbs to be sold while you sent Qiao Lainan, who intentionally squeezed my fractured wrist and purposefully spilled boiling hot tea on me, to his side!” “My hand has been scalded to a deep red, and it’s still burning!” “I also almost got strangled to death by Lu Lingche!” “My grandmother and I are seeking help everywhere for you, and this is how you repay me? Sending Qiao Lainan to my ex-husband to disgust me, to scald me?” Qiao Haidong didn’t believe it: “Impossible, Lainan couldn’t have intentionally scalded you, let alone deliberately squeeze your wrist! She has always been obedient, how could she be as bad as you make her out to be? You must have misunderstood her!” Qiao Yin felt as if she was plunged into icy water, feeling a deep chill. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself: “In that case, let Qiao Lainan help you deal with the two hundred million worth of herbs, I won’t help you anymore.” When Qiao Haidong heard her say this, he instantly revealed his true colors: “Humph, you think I really need your help?! Now that I know Lu Lingche to be the source of problems, I don’t need you anymore!” “With you in the mix, Lu Lingche will definitely not let me go. Without you, it will actually be better!” “Although Lainan is just my niece, she is much more filial than you, my own daughter! She’s already serving Lu Lingche, and it won’t take long for her to marry into the Lu family!” “To tell you the truth, Lu Lingche likes Lainan very much, he even plans to introduce her to his family soon!” “You didn’t have such treatment before, right? You’ve not even met the family with Lu Lingche. If it weren’t for the old Madam of the Lu Family favoring you, you wouldn’t have been able to step into the Lu Family’s door!”
