By the time Qiao Xi arrived at Lingyun No. 1, Wen Sining had already calmed down. Apart from her red - rimmed eyes that betrayed her recent crying, she seemed normal, and her mood was peaceful. On the contrary, after hearing what had happened to Wen Sining tonight, Qiao Xi rolled up her sleeves in anger and was eager to beat up Lu Luochen.
"Going too far! Divorce him. Sining, I support you. We must divorce such a man who unjustly slurs others without even bothering to find out the truth!"
"It's so excessive. How could he say such things? He's supposed to be the heir of the Lu Group, but with his muddled - headedness, the Lu Group will surely go under in his hands!"
"Sining, you should have slapped him a few more times. You should have smashed his dog's head and see if there's tofu dregs or paste in his brain!"
"No, no. I'm so angry. I'm dizzy with anger!"
Qiao Xi held her forehead and sat on the sofa, feeling dizzy.
Wen Sining retrieved the home medical kit from under the TV cabinet and gave her a sidelong glance.
"Are you sure it's because of anger and not blood loss?"
As she said this, Wen Sining gently lifted Qiao Xi's wrist so that she could see the blood - stained palm.
Qiao Xi immediately scratched her head awkwardly.
When she heard Wen Sining's sobs, she panicked. She hurriedly pulled out the needle and rushed over. When she was in a hurry, she had an unconscious habit of picking at her hands. Somehow, she just happened to pick at the hand with the needle puncture. The bleeding had stopped, but with her picking, the blood started flowing out again. Even now, the blood hadn't completely coagulated.
Qiao Xi covered her forehead with her other hand and forced a smile. "No wonder the taxi driver gave me strange looks when I got out of the car."
Wen Sining treated the wound on Qiao Xi's hand. The area around the needle puncture was already bruised, and the back of her hand was slightly swollen. Wen Sining had learned some medical skills from her grandma since childhood. Without going to the hospital, she just checked the medicine in the medical kit and treated the wound herself.
"Just consider this hand useless for the next three days." Wen Sining was tidying up the medicine on the coffee table as she spoke leisurely.
Qiao Xi opened her mouth in surprise. "Sining, is it that serious?"
Wen Sining didn't answer but just gave her a look that seemed to say "you figure it out yourself".
Qiao Xi immediately became like an ostrich and didn't dare to ask anymore.
"Sining, do you really have to move out of the Lu Family Mansion?" After the interruption, Qiao Xi's angry mood had subsided, and she asked worriedly.
"Yes. At least I won't go back for a while, but I'll still go back occasionally. Grandpa Lu just had surgery. If Lu Luochen hadn't said such inhumane things, I wouldn't have been so angry and moved out."
"What about the divorce you mentioned with Lu Luochen..."
Wen Sining's face immediately turned cold. "It's a must. But our business - arranged marriage involves a lot of things. It's not something that can be done overnight. It'll probably take a while."
This was the drawback of marrying into a wealthy family.
When they got married, they didn't make a big deal out of it. They just quietly got their marriage certificates with their IDs and household registers. However, the divorce process was extremely troublesome, involving the interests of both parties. It was always better to be careful.
"Sining, let me make it clear first. I don't mean anything else by saying this... I'm just afraid you'll soften your heart later. You know, Lu Luochen has a history. He could slander you for having an affair without asking or investigating the first time, and he could do it a second, third time... The sooner you stay away from such a man, the better."
"Qiao Xi, don't worry. I'll handle our matters as soon as possible and try to get the divorce as soon as I can."
After Wen Sining finished speaking, she suddenly heard a growling sound from a stomach.
Qiao Xi immediately blushed.
"Cough, cough. Well, I haven't had dinner yet."
"Neither have I. Anyway, I'm in a better mood now. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
So the two of them drove away from Lingyun No. 1.
At the Lu Family Mansion.
Fortunately, Doctor Xiao was there. After Grandpa Lu fainted from anger, he immediately started the rescue, preventing a greater disaster.
Lu Luochen had been guarding beside Grandpa Lu. After Doctor Xiao finished treating Grandpa Lu, he glanced at Lu Luochen and said indifferently, "Stick out your leg. I'll take a look."
Just now, Grandpa Lu was extremely angry and couldn't control his strength when hitting someone. Especially the few blows he landed on Lu Luochen's leg were really aimed at breaking his dog leg. If it weren't for Grandpa Lu's old age and lack of strength, it was likely that not only he but also the two of them would be lying in bed now.
Even so, Lu Luochen still felt a burning pain in his calf.
"Then thank you, Doctor Xiao." Lu Luochen lowered his eyes and stretched out his leg in front of Doctor Xiao.
"Don't. Don't thank me. I just don't want the old man to wake up later and find out that he's crippled his only grandson. He's so old. If he suffers another blow... You'd better start arranging his funeral."
Doctor Xiao said expressionlessly. On the one hand, he didn't want to accept Lu Luochen's "thank you", and on the other hand, he was reminding him that Grandpa Lu's health was no longer what it used to be and he couldn't be stimulated anymore.
Hearing this, Lu Luochen pursed his lips tightly.
"Okay, your leg bone isn't injured. Just go back and rub some safflower oil on it."
An hour later, Grandpa Lu woke up slowly. The first thing he did after waking up was to look around. Doctor Xiao knew what he was looking for and waved his hand. "Don't look. I didn't let them tell Sining about you fainting. That girl is probably still angry. Let's not let her come back. With you around, she'll surely hold her anger in, which is bad for her health."
Grandpa Lu sighed softly. He was already old, but after tonight's incident, he seemed even more haggard, with a tired look on his face.
"Old friend, how could I have raised such a useless thing? I don't know how deeply I've hurt Sining this time."
Doctor Xiao glanced at him, handed him the water cup on the bedside table, and coughed. "Old Lu, don't think I'm being meddlesome... Your grandson..." Doctor Xiao shook his head. "He's not good enough for Sining."
Grandpa Lu took the water cup and took a sip. Hearing this, disappointment filled his cloudy eyes.
He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Sining is a good girl. Our Lu family has wronged her. Forget it. Let the young people handle their own affairs."
It was just a pity for his granddaughter - in - law. She was such a nice person, and now it seemed that he was about to lose her.
Grandpa Lu shook his head and sighed a few more times, then asked Doctor Xiao to call Uncle Bai over.
