Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Compensating her in this way
Lu Lingche remained silent for a moment before he spoke, “There’s no harm in meeting you before I leave. I’m not a doctor, I can’t help her right now.”
“But you used to stay by her side, even if you could not help.”
“That was then, and this is now. I used to fear her death, but now I know that she won’t die, so I don’t have to stand guard anymore.”
Lu Lingche spoke indifferently, but his gaze on Qiao Yin was one of concealed pain.
Her eyes were still beautiful, but they had lost their vivacity and lacked their usual lively energy.
Unable to hold back, Lu Yanxi asked again, “Second Brother, did you really not tell Lan Yuyi about Yinyin’s car accident and hospital stay?”
The cold gaze of Lu Lingche swept over her, “Are you brainless? Why would I tell her that? Do I enjoy stirring up trouble?”
Fearing him, Lu Yanxi retract a little after being scolded, her courage to question him completely disappearing.
She lowered her head, avoiding Lu Lingche’s gaze, “Why am I the brainless one? Lan Yuyi was the one who said it all. It all seemed so real; how was I to know she would go to such lengths to lie?”
“You are just too naive! Do you believe everything she says? Do you lack the ability to discern?”
Lu Yanxi hung her head even lower, “But if you didn’t tell her, who else could have?”
This time, Lu Lingche didn’t scold her.
Because he had an answer in his heart, an answer he couldn’t reveal in front of Qiao Yin, lest she came to hate him.
The driver who hit Qiao Yin had already fallen into his hands.
The mastermind behind the incident, he had also identified.
His guilt towards Qiao Yin was heavier than ever.
“Lu Yanxi.”
“Huh? What is it, Second Brother?”
“Don’t go to the auction house these few days.”
Lu Yanxi, confused, couldn’t understand the leap in the conversation, “Why?”
“Stay here and take care of Qiao Yin until she’s discharged.”
“But Isn’t that necessary? Grandma is here, and so is Yinyin’s granny. I have an upcoming auction to prepare for.”
“Postpone the preparation. Have you not always wanted to expand and become the number one auction house in Tianyun City? I’ll fund you.”
Lu Yanxi was thrilled, “Really? I need at least a billion in funding!”
“Yes, I will fund the billion.”
Having said that, Lu Lingche turned and left the ward.
Lu Yanxi joyfully called out to him, “Thank you, Second Brother!”
After yelling out, she closed the door and run over to the bed, gripping Qiao Yin’s hand, “Yinyin, Second Brother is investing a billion just so I take care of you! I’m benefiting from your fortune.”
Qiao Yin managed to let out a bitter smile.
She could not quite describe the feeling weighing on her heart. It seemed like Lu Lingche was trying to compensate her through this gesture.
But what was he compensating her for?
The divorce?
Or had he discovered that the mastermind behind the car accident was his own mother, Madam Lu?
And as for Lu Yanxi, who had just been promised the funding by Lu Lingche, she had already rolled up her sleeves and started taking care of Qiao Yin. She picked up a towel, dampened it and began to clean Qiao Yin’s body.
As she was cleaning, she didn’t forget to ask Qiao Yin, “Yinyin, what’s wrong with Lan Yuyi’s child? How come you never mentioned it before?”
“I did not mention it before because I was only suspecting and wasn’t certain yet. Now it’s confirmed, there is indeed something wrong with her child.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The child she’s carrying, isn’t likely from Lu Lingche.”
“What?!”
Lu Yanxi was astonished, “The child isn’t Second Brother’s? Does he know?”
“It seems like he still doesn’t know.”
Lu Yanxi stood there, shocked, “Second Brother… seems a bit pitiful. He has always believed the child is his, which is why he divorced you and married Lan Yuyi. Today, it doesn’t seem like he likes Lan Yuyi that much either!”
Strange, Qiao Yin had the same feeling too.
But before she thought Lu Lingche cared so much about Lan Yuyi that he was willing to give up everything. He even prioritized her happiness above his own.
But today, when Lan Yuyi was bleeding so terribly and in critical condition, he didn’t immediately follow the ambulance to Lan’s Hospital.
