Chapter 1768: It Is Hard to Speak of One’s Troubles (8)

It sounded as though Lu Qingtian was speaking through gritted teeth.

Qiao Yiyi did not disobey her. Wearing her new dress, she followed Lu Qiangtian as they walked out of the shop.

Both of them got into the car. Lu Qiangtian glanced at the girl and ventured, “I suppose you have no idea who Li Tingting is?”

Qiao Yiyi nodded in response.

Lu Qiangtian continued to stare at the girl.

Qiao Yiyi did not speak.

Unable to tolerate the girl any further, Lu Qiangtian continued, “Why are you so slow? At this point, shouldn’t you be asking who Li Tingting is?”

Qiao Yiyi lifted her gaze and replied, “Oh. So who is Li Tingting?”

Lu Qingtian: …

Lu Qiangtian was completely dissatisfied with the girl, so she pointed a finger at the girl’s head in exasperation. “You are really slow! Who is Li Tingting? She’s someone who grew up with Lu Nanze, she also knows Qiao Lian too. She has liked Lu Nanze since they were young! Now that he’s hospitalised, I’m sure she’ll turn up. I’m warning you, you have to take precautions against her, do you hear me?”

Qiao Yiyi: …

“She graduated from a renowned college in America. She’s got great qualities and she’s pretty. She’s even well-networked in our circle, she’s virtually flawless.”

Qiao Yiyi: …

“Say something!”

Qiao Yiyi replied, “So what?”

Instantly, Lu Qiangtian felt like she was just wasting her time. “Damn! I’ve said this much and your slow brain is none the wiser. I’m telling you that this girl likes your husband! And she’s excellent.”

Qiao Yiyi nodded and explained, “Auntie, I know what you mean. But I’m saying, so what? I’m the actual Madam Lu.”

Lu Qiangtian halted and thought about it. She couldn’t really argue that point.

At the same time, she did feel that the remark was rather presumptuous.

So what if that girl was perfect in every aspect?

Qiao Yiyi was the legitimate Madam Lu, and that had nothing to do with outsiders.

Lu Qiangtian turned back to glance at the girl. Her head was lowered, as though she wasn’t aware of what she had just said.

The woman couldn’t help but wonder if the old saying was true, that fortune favors the foolish.

She shook her head, pushed that thought out of her mind and took Qiao Yiyi back to the hospital.

Lu Nanze had not regained consciousness by the time the two of them were back to the hospital.

The butler and Liang Liang both stared at the freshly made-up Qiao Yiyi and were somewhat dumbfounded.

Only Lu Qiangtian chided the girl impatiently, “Your husband is sick. As his wife, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and tend to him.”

Qiao Yiyi was stumped. Seriously, it was this same woman who hadn’t let her into the ward, and now she was chiding her for standing at the doorway.

So did she want her in the room, or not?

Of course, Qiao Yiyi couldn’t say that aloud. She followed Lu Qiangtian into the room.

The moment they stepped into the room, they suddenly heard a brisk flurry of footsteps.

Qiao Yiyi spun around. The door burst open and a raving beauty with large wavy hair and of exquisite beauty immediately strode in.

When she entered, her eyes were fixed on Lu Nanze as though there was no one else in the world. She dashed up to him and cried, “Second Brother, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?”

Then her eyes reddened.

She looked exactly like the sort of pitiful damsel in distress that could stir men’s hearts.

As this thought crossed Qiao Yiyi’s mind, Li Tingting snapped her head around and demanded, “How did Second Brother end up like this under your care?”
