Chapter 1787: Did They Think She Was a Weakling? (17)
Qiao Yiyi was clearly aware and knew very well the ways of the wealthy and powerful families.
That was why she was so sure that Lu Nanze wouldn’t just let this slide.
But unexpectedly, Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and played along with Li Tingting, saying, “That’s true, what Tingting says makes sense.”
Qiao Yiyi widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard this.
Had Lu Nanze gone stupid?
How could he even say that? This was too much.
She was infuriated beyond words. At this point, Lu Qingtian’s voice sounded from the doorway. “Nanze, what is that you’re saying?”
As soon as she spoke, she appeared and walked into the room. She then said, “Nanze, I’m warning you, no matter who Yiyi was before, she is now Madam Lu. In public, she is part of your image. How can you be saying things like that in front of outsiders? Don’t you know anything? Huh?!”
Lu Nanze immediately cast his gaze down and smirked, “Auntie. Tingting is not an outsider.”
Li Tingting had felt suppressed the moment Li Qingtian had entered the room, but now, thanks to what Lu Nanze had said, she swelled with arrogance again.
In the past, Second Brother had given her some attention, but he had never said something like “Tingting is not an outsider.”
Now Second Brother had confirmed this, thoroughly warming her heart.
Her eyes lit up at once as she tilted her chin. Then she said slowly and gently, “Auntie, Second Brother is right, please don’t treat me like an outsider! I grew up together with Second Brother, please treat me as part of the family.”
Lu Qingtian: …
Lu Qingtian gave Lu Nanze a vicious glare and said, “Tingting belongs to the LifFamily and is a grown up young lady, not a child like before. So it’s best for a man and a lady to keep some distance between them.”
Li Tingting frowned and started, “I—”
“Tingting is still a child in my eyes.” Lu Nanze tried once again to keep harmony.
Lu Qingtian was dumbfounded for a moment and said, “Lu Nanze, has something gone wrong in your head?”
Hadn’t he disliked Li Tingting?
What was wrong with him today?
Lu Qingtian couldn’t figure it out and snorted coldly. Finally, she said, “Alright, you get some good rest. It’s late!”
Lu Nanze nodded.
Li Tingting threw a glance at Lu Nanze and made a move to return to her seat by his bed. But before she could sit down, Lu Qingtian said, “Tingting, come over here. Leave the caretaker’s job to Qiao Yiyi. After all, she is Lu Nanze’s wife. You and I can sleep outside.”
He was staying in a suite ward with guest beds outside the patient’s room.
People with Lu Nanze’s power got treated differently, whether they stayed in a hotel or a hospital.
After getting kicked out by Lu Qingtian, Li Tingting turned back wistfully and gave Qiao Yiyi a long and resentful look. Finally she said, “Qiao Yiyi, you have to take good care of Second Brother. If you need anything in the middle of the night, shout for me.”
Then she reluctantly left the room, being led firmly by Lu Qingtian.
The moment the two women walked out, Lu Qingtian shut the door behind her.
Qiao Yiyi turned to glance at Lu Nanze and saw that he was lying in bed with his eyes shut. It looked like he was intentionally ignoring her.
Tsk.
Who cares about him?
Qiao Yiyi twitched her lips and walked to the side. Just as she was about to get into her own bed, Lu Nanze asked, “Why did you marry me?”
