Chapter 318: Framed
As Qiao Lainan spoke, she entered the elevator: "I'm coming down to find you, we can discuss any issues in person."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at her hand, her heart filled with jealousy and resentment.
Qiao Yin had just "accidentally" scalded her hand, and Lu Lingche had made her hold the thermos.
What did he mean by this? Taking revenge for Qiao Yin?
It seems she was right, Lu Lingche does have a different kind of feeling for Qiao Yin!
She needs to carefully strategize, how to exploit his feelings.
If she plans it well, she might even have Lu Lingche's child, then she could have a very bright future!
Once she reached the ground floor and found Qiao Haidong, she immediately went to his car with him.
"Eldest Uncle, it's all because of me. I didn't fully win over Lingche's heart. Because of that, you had to face being stopped outside the office today. I'm so sorry, Eldest Uncle."
She preempted him, apologizing with a look of shame. Qiao Haidong, who was about to blame her for something, couldn't find the words. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He even noticed Qiao Lainan nervously moving her hand.
He could not help but be curious: "What happened to your hand?"
Qiao Lainan looked flustered and quickly hid her hand behind her: "It's ...it's nothing."
The more she hid it, the more Qiao Haidong wanted to see it: "Show me your hand!"
Reluctantly, Qiao Lainan stretched out her hand: "Eldest Uncle, there is really nothing."
Upon seeing her both hands red and several blisters on them, Qiao Haidong was startled: "How did this happen?"
Qiao Lainan hesitated: "About this..."
"You have to tell Eldest Uncle the truth. If your hand is like this, how are you going to serve Lingche? Who did this to you?"
Tears rolled down Qiao Lainan's cheeks: "Eldest Uncle... it was cousin sister."
"What? Qiao Yin did this?!"
"Eldest Uncle, after cousin sister came to President Lu's office, I kindly offered her some tea. She was not holding it steady and spilt it on herself, getting scalded a little."
Qiao Lainan sobbed pitifully: "Then, cousin sister blamed me for scalding her, she poured hot water on my hand, and my hand turned out like this."
Qiao Haidong was livid upon hearing this: "She is so cruel! I'll call her right now and give her a piece of my mind for you!"
Qiao Lainan hurriedly stopped him, holding him from making the call.
She gave him a pitiful look and shook her head: "Eldest Uncle, let it go. I don't blame cousin sister. This small wound isn't significant, it doesn't hurt."
"Your hands are almost scalded and you are saying it doesn't hurt?"
"Really, it doesn't. Please don't ruin your relationship with cousin sister because of me."
"What kind of father-daughter relationship do we have? She doesn't even call me 'Dad' anymore and wishes I was dead every day. You won't find such unfilial offspring like her in this whole world!"
"Cousin sister may sometimes go too far, but we are family after all. I really don't want to see you quarrelling with her over such a trivial matter."
Qiao Lainan spoke gently, displaying a model of magnanimity and tolerance, which moved Qiao Haidong: "Lainan, you would make a good daughter if I had one!"
"Eldest Uncle, you are like a father to me already. If you don't mind, I would like to treat you like a dad. In the future, I will be very filial to you. If I get to marry into the Lu family, not only you but I will also take care of Brother Jiasen."
Qiao Haidong was extremely gratified: "You are such a sensible and considerate girl! Even thinking about your brother, your grandma has raised all of you very well!"
He praised Qiao Lainan, then asked: "I heard from Qiao Yin that my herbal medicine isn't selling because Lu Lingche is causing trouble? Are you aware of this?"
