Chapter 59: Grandma Will Seek Justice for You

This medicine, he had just experienced its brutality yesterday. The memory still raw!

With no broken skin on his face, applying it felt like a million swords stabbing his heart.

Her wounds, on the other hand, were raw. Applying the medication directly onto the wound, one could only imagine how unbearable the pain must be. Yet, she never made a sound!

By the time he finished applying the medicine, Qiao Yin was drenched in sweat and the bed sheets were soaked.

Drained of energy, Qiao Yin collapsed onto the bed, unmoving.

Even when Lu Lingche started bandaging her bare upper body, she remained unresponsive.

Lu Lingche didn’t have any other thoughts at the moment. After ensuring the wound wasn’t bleeding anymore, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Indeed, his grandmother’s medicine was effective; his effort to retrieve it was not in vain.

He then proceeded to cook dinner.

When he delivered the finished meal to Qiao Yin, she silently ate up all the food.

This uncharacteristic quietness in Qiao Yin intensified Lu Lingche’s unease. This was so unlike her.

She had endured such wrongs. She should have thrown the food onto his head out of spite, or picked a fight with him endlessly. She should have provoked him into angry fits. How could she remain so calm?

Just as he continued to ponder, his assistant knocked on the door from outside, “President Lu, the Old Madam has arrived.”

As the voice trailed off, the Old Madam pushed open the door hurriedly and rushed in, “Yinyin!”

Qiao Yin turned her head and offered a smile at her, “Grandma, why are you here?”

Seeing the blood-stained gauze strewn all over the floor, the Old Madam was immediately moved to tears, “Oh, my child, you’ve been wronged. The Lu Family owes you a deep apology!”

The pent-up grievances in Qiao Yin’s heart exploded in an instant, her cries resonating with her plea, “Grandma, I am in so much pain!”

The Old Madam rushed to embrace her, caressing her face with an overwhelming love, “I’m sorry, my dear. I failed to protect you. Don’t worry, I will get justice for you.”

It was only in her presence, that Qiao Yin revealed the vulnerability of a young girl. She sobbed, addressing her grandmother while intermittently crying about being beaten too harshly, wanting to go home, and wanting to be held by her grandmother.

Witnessing her raw outburst, Lu Lingche realized that this was the true Qiao Yin.

So earlier in his presence, had she been pretending to be obedient?

She did know how to play the role!

However, the usually confident and arrogant Lu Lingche, for the first time, was beginning to question his judgment.

Could someone fake enduring this kind of inhuman pain?

When he was treating her, she didn’t shed a single tear.

Was it because she wasn’t hurting, or did she just not want to show weakness in front of him?

Having finally calmed Qiao Yin down, the Old Madam gently wiped away her tears, covered her with a blanket, and left the bedroom.

Lu Lingche followed suit.

Only then did he notice the presence of more than a dozen bodyguards accompanying the Old Madam.

“Why did you bring so many people with you this late at night?”

The Old Madam glanced at him, replying indifferently, “Sixteen in total. Eight to protect Qiao Yin, and the other eight to accompany me on a trip to the old house.”

The ‘old house’ she referred to was the villa occupied by Lu Mingzhen and Madam Lu.

It was originally hers and Old Mr. Lu’s residence. After his death, due to her strained relationship with her daughter-in-law and the lack of support from her son, she moved out.

Lu Lingche looked quizzically at her, “There’s no need for bodyguards here. I wouldn’t hurt Qiao Yin.”

The Old Madam frowned, “True, you wouldn’t hurt her, but you surely wouldn’t protect her either! Can she count on you when she’s wronged?”

Lu Lingche frowned, “The incident happened suddenly today, but I rushed over immediately after receiving the message from the caretaker.”

The Old Madam nodded, “You were on time indeed. Otherwise, there would have been more than just four whip marks on Qiao Yin’s back.”

Having said that, she exited with eight bodyguards in tow.

Watching the Old Madam’s retreating figure filled with seething rage, Lu Lingche knew a storm was brewing at the old residence.

Despite knowing this, he did not warn the people at home. He stared at the remaining eight bodyguards, finding them extremely unpleasant—he did not like strangers in his house..
