From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 112 - : Did I Make Things Difficult for You?

Chapter 112 -112: Did I Make Things Difficult for You?

With Old Mr. Lu gone, the atmosphere of the banquet naturally relaxed, and several people who were eyeing Qiao Yi eagerly quieted down after Lu Yanchuan took the initiative to speak out in her defense.

Lu Yanchuan is merely the steward of the Lu Family, but his ability to intimidate the high society of Capital City isn’t solely because of his status; it’s more so because of his unpredictable and ruthless methods.

No one wants to create a powerful enemy for themselves, especially not someone as strong and ruthless as Lu Yanchuan.

With Lu Yanchuan stepping forward, the number of eyes lurking around Qiao Yi decreased significantly.

Having breezed through the evening banquet, Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan went back to the old house with Old Mr. Lu.

Qiao Xin and Lu Ming actually wanted to follow them to the old house but were deterred by a single glance from Old Mr. Lu.

“Can’t you just behave? Now you’ve done it, not only did you make Grandpa angry, but now I’m in trouble with him because of you! Are you satisfied now?”

“How dare you blame me? You haven’t fulfilled a single thing you promised me. Now I am despised by Old Mr. Lu, and isn’t it because you are useless!”

“What did you say!”

“I said you are useless! In every aspect, you are no match for Lu Yanchuan!”

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the car, Qiao Xin covered her face, disbelieving as she looked at Lu Ming.

“You dare to hit me!”

“I can’t take this anymore!”

Just as Qiao Yi finished washing up and was about to go to bed, she received a phone call from the hospital.

“I am, yes… okay, I’ll be right there!”

Qiao Yi jumped out of bed in an instant, grabbed Lu Yanchuan who had just walked out of the bathroom, and headed towards the dressing room.

“There was an accident, Lu Ming and Qiao Xin flipped their car on the way back, and they have already been taken to the hospital. Come with me.”

“You don’t really like those two, do you?”

Qiao Yi’s hand paused for a moment, then she pursed her lips and squeezed a sentence out through the gap.

“I just feel… the child in Qiao Xin’s womb is innocent, and also…”

Qiao Yi could not find another reason.

She admits, she is soft-hearted! Even though she hated Qiao Xin to death in her heart, upon hearing that Qiao Xin’s life was in danger, she couldn’t help but worry.

“Let’s go, I’ll contact Yun Qing to come over.”

Qiao Yi’s hand was held by Lu Yanchuan, and the warmth that passed between their palms gradually calmed her down. Together, they hurried to the hospital.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Lu Ming had already been transferred to a regular ward, and it wouldn’t be a big problem as long as he woke up.

However, Qiao Xin was still undergoing emergency treatment, the child could no longer be saved, and they could only hope to ensure the mother’s life as much as possible.

Qiao Yi’s hands and feet were ice-cold, sitting outside the surgery room on a long bench, overwhelmed with anxiety.

“Just follow what you feel in your heart, don’t think about anything else.”

“If you hate Qiao Xin, then don’t bother with her. If you can’t bear it, go buy some food; you haven’t eaten much tonight.”

Qiao Yi’s mind was a mess, and she didn’t know whether she had taken in Lu Yanchuan’s words or not, just shook her head aimlessly, still seemingly in a daze.

“You wait here, I’ll go check on Lu Ming.”

Qiao Yi would likely not recover from this state for a while, so after sitting with her for some time, Lu Yanchuan left.

Lu Ming’s hospital room was downstairs. As Lu Yanchuan approached the door to push it open, he saw the door of the sickroom open.

“Who… who are you…”

A girl in a white dress stood at the door, holding a meal tray, apparently just having finished eating.

However… with October fast approaching, she still wore a skirt that barely reached her knees. Wasn’t she cold?

Lu Yanchuan’s gaze was oppressively intense, and the girl, after being watched for just two seconds, had her eyes brimming with tears, as if she had been bullied by Lu Yanchuan in some way.

“Keke? Who is outside?”

Lin Ke, frightened, quickly wiped her face and made way from the entrance of the hospital room.

“It seems your injury isn’t too serious, given that you have the time to meet your lover here.”

Lu Yanchuan implied with a glance at Lin Ke, who was standing at the door, caught in a quandary.

Lin Ke’s face, which had just paled, suddenly turned entirely red when addressed by Lu Yanchuan, and she bit her lip, fumbling with the food tray, unable to speak.

This pitiable look of hers was particularly effective at arousing a man’s protective instincts.

Especially for Lu Ming, whose relationship with her was already not so innocent.

“What lover! This is Lin Ke, the university student I’ve been sponsoring. She only came to visit me because she heard about my car accident!”

Lu Ming’s anger was simply interpreted by Lu Yanchuan as a fit of embarrassed rage, and seeing him so animated, Lu Yanchuan lost the inclination to enter.

After all, he had come to take a look, solely to have a reason to shut Old Mr. Lu and Lu Qingshan up later on, to avoid more trouble down the line.

Provoked by Lu Yanchuan’s meaningful look, waves of anger surged in Lu Ming’s chest, but Lu Yanchuan remained unusually calm, further infuriating Lu Ming.

In fact, Lu Yanchuan would rather believe that he, Lu Ming, was feeling guilty.

But that girl at the door just now…

After Lu Yanchuan left, Lu Ming’s rage couldn’t subside for a long time.

Indeed, just as Lu Yanchuan guessed, Lu Ming felt guilty and was lashing out in mortified anger.

Although his relationship with Qiao Xin was more of a partnership, if outsiders were to know about his relationship with Lin Ke, it would unquestionably lead to a great deal of trouble.

“Keke, there’s no need for you to come over these next few days. We’ll get in touch after I’m discharged.”

“Ah Ming… did I do something wrong?”

Lin Ke’s face fell, betraying her hurt, but she still managed a frail smile as she sat back down beside Lu Ming.

“Is it because I’ve made things difficult for you?”

Seeing that Lu Ming remained silent, a look of loss and sorrow appeared on Lin Ke’s face. Yet, understanding as she was, she didn’t say much more and simply gently took one of Lu Ming’s hands and pressed it against her face.

“I understand, I won’t make things difficult for you. Your wife is injured, and you should spend more time with her… I…”

Lu Ming felt a bit of moisture in the palm of his hand, and when he looked up at Lin Ke’s face, she had already wiped away her tears and smiled.

“I won’t come to see you for the next few days. You should take good care of yourself while you’re in the hospital, remember to take your medicine on time. I… I’ll be going now…”

Saying that, as if she couldn’t bear it any longer, Lin Ke let go of Lu Ming’s hand, covered her face, and ran out of the ward.

Her departure seemed to take away Lu Ming’s heart as well; his injuries bound him to the bed, unable to move, he could only call out anxiously for Lin Ke.
