Oh, damn.
Qiao Yiyi cursed silently. She quickly looked down, trying to remain expressionless, even though the pain in her shoulder was quite unbearable.
She stole a quick glance at her own shoulder. Fortunately, she was dressed in red today and, even if the blood were to seep through, it would just look like a patch of a different shade. If one wasn’t paying attention, it would be hard to tell it was a blood stain.
She clenched her jaw tightly.
It was summer now and, on top of that, she had only managed to tend to her wound after some delay. Together with Lu Nanze’s unprofessional stitching skills, the pain she was feeling from the gaping wound now was so intense she could not speak.
She kept her head down and fell silent.
When Qiao Gang saw Lu Nanze, he immediately withdrew his hand. Smiling sheepishly, he exclaimed, “Mr. Lu, you’re home!”
Lu Nanze nodded.
He threw the two men a few puzzled glances, but recalled how frightened Qiao Yiyi had seemed when she had found out he had gone into her room. Immediately, he kept his mouth shut.
Without giving the other men another look, he went upstairs.
Once he was upstairs, he threw a sidelong glance at the three of them again. He saw that Qiao Yiyi still had her head lowered, but she was pale from the nerves. It was stifling just watching her.
What sort of wife had he taken for himself?!
She was as timid as a mouse.
Oh well, nevermind. It would be better to keep a distance from her from now on.
–
At this point, Qiao Yiyi had turned pale from both the blood loss and the pain. She had no idea at all that Lu Nanze had already misunderstood her.
The only thing on her mind right now was the blood seeping out of the wound, and the possibility of an infection if she didn’t try to close it up quickly.
And if that led to more complications, then she would be in trouble.
She bit her lip harshly, feeling the urgency to get rid of the two men standing before her. She was desperate to find a place where she could close her wound in private.
Seeing that Lu Nanze had walked past without acknowledging them, Qiao Gang looked at Qiao Yiyi and said after a pause, “What’s the matter? Did you two have an argument?”
Qiao Yiyi shook her head.
Qiao Gang nodded. “That’s right, I don’t think you have the guts to argue with him. The eight million we were just talking about, are you going to lend them to us or not?”
He spoke like he didn’t care at all. If Qiao Yiyi didn’t agree to give him the money, he was going to be there harassing her all day.
On the other hand, her wound couldn’t wait any longer. Qiao Yiyi narrowed her eyes. She had to promise them first. In any case, she was not going to give him the money, that was for sure.
When dealing with dishonest people, one had to be even more dishonest with them.
Given this, she nodded and looked up. With a frightened expression, she said, “Alright, I’ll- I’ll help think of a solution.”
Her words also sounded reticent.
Think of a solution. But she was just the helpless Madam Lu, who was disliked by her husband, so what solution could she give them?
However, Qiao Gang and Dad Qiao couldn’t even conceive that this cowardly girl would ever dare to argue back and direct scornful remarks at them.
Hence, the two of them nodded.
Qiao Yiyi lifted her head and glanced at the second floor. “Well then, I- I- I won’t invite you for dinner.”
Upon hearing these words, the men rolled their eyes.
Did she even have the right to invite someone to dinner in this household?!
Dad Qiao understood her difficulties and nodded. He wanted to greet Lu Nanze, but the man had gone upstairs and wouldn’t come down. Given this, there was not much else Dad Qiao could do but leave with Qiao Gang.
After they left, Qiao Yiyi sat in the living room for a short while.
