Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Simply Don’t Care About Your Reconciliation Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Simply Don’t Care About Your Reconciliation Ning City First People’s Hospital, ICU ward
Lu Mingchuan was covered in tubes, his breath faint, and any slight movement brought him pain all over!
His once handsome face was swollen beyond recognition, like a pig’s head, completely obscuring his original features.
The three members of the Lin Family stood before him, all stunned!
Lin Xuecheng looked at her beloved in such a state, wanting to hold Lu Mingchuan’s hand, but couldn’t find a gap through the mass of tubes!
That face was unrecognizable!
Lin Xuecheng let out a sharp scream!
“Mingchuan brother, how… how did you become like this?”
Qian Yueqiang was also stunned.
Lu Mingchuan had been refined and handsome since childhood, so when he was still swaddled, she made an agreement with Lu’s mother for this marriage, worrying that a man with such a good family background and looks would be snatched away; she booked him early.
Now, seeing Lu Mingchuan’s face, Qian Yueqiang couldn’t even recognize him!
“Mingchuan, how did you become like this?”
Lu’s mother wept continuously beside them, “Who knows, Mingchuan originally went to the company for a business meeting, but halfway there, someone appeared out of nowhere and beat him up! It’s simply lawless!”
Lin Xuecheng’s heart was in her throat, “Did you call the police? This is too much, you must call the police! Get justice for Mingchuan brother!”
Lu’s mother hesitated, “…”
If they called the police, the whole circle would know about Lu Mingchuan’s antics at the bar, including calling over a dozen hostesses.
Lu’s mother didn’t dare call the police, worrying that any trouble stirred up was because of some woman Lu Mingchuan provoked.
If the Lin Family found out, their marriage agreement could be ruined!
Lu Mingchuan extended his hand, his voice hoarse, uttering intermittently, “Qing… Qingwu!”
The three members of the Lin Family: “…”
Qian Yueqiang frowned slightly, “Could it be that Mingchuan means his beating is related to that brat Qingwu? But Qingwu…”
Wasn’t Qingwu already kidnapped?
They hadn’t contacted the kidnappers for days and weren’t sure if the matter was successful, probably due to poor reception in the mountainous area!
That damn girl might already have been sold by now.
Lu Mingchuan gritted his teeth, “Qingwu! It’s all… Qingwu!”
Lin Xuecheng ached seeing him struggle to speak, “Mingchuan brother, do you mean your beating is related to Qingwu?”
Lu Mingchuan nodded with difficulty.
Lin Jingsheng, unaware of what Qian Yueqiang and Lin Xuecheng did, hurriedly explained, “Qingwu has already been sent back to her mountainous hometown; maybe she didn’t want to leave Ning City, so she found a place to work as a waitress?”
Lu’s mother, who was known as a notorious shrew in her youth, immediately stared wide-eyed!
“So you’re saying my son ended up like this because of your family?! The Lin Family must give me an explanation; I only have Mingchuan as a son, and he’s already been issued a critical condition notice three times by the doctors!”
Qian Yueqiang quickly spoke, “No, Qingwu has nothing to do with our family; Chengcheng is our daughter. I’ll immediately announce in the papers that we sever all ties with Qingwu.”
That damned girl, how did she escape from the kidnappers?
Lu’s mother raised her eyebrows, “So you admit it is related to that girl? You must give me an explanation.”
The Lin Family was stuck in a dilemma, unable to bear Lu’s mother’s tantrum echoing throughout the ICU, they had no choice but to agree.
Once chased out of the ICU, the three members of the Lin Family stood at the door, looking at each other in dismay.
“Mom, did Qingwu escape with the help of the rich man who called her at Changrong Mall last time?”
“That must be it, who’d have thought that girl would have such luck.”
Lin Xuecheng was relentless, “Mom, she must be entangling Mingchuan brother again; how could she be so bad! She won’t try to snatch Mingchuan brother away from me, will she?”
This was a marriage agreement she had gained with great effort!
There was no way she would let such a good man as Lu Mingchuan be taken by Qingwu!
“Don’t worry, Chengcheng, as long as we find Qingwu and warn her properly, next time we’ll watch her return to the mountainous area with our own eyes, there’s no way we’ll let her affect your marriage agreement.”
Thinking of finding Qingwu gave Qian Yueqiang a headache.
What if that girl was now squatting in some dingy diner, washing dishes to earn money?
High-class aristocrats like them couldn’t possibly go to such places to look for her, could they?
Lin Jingsheng spoke up, “Just get a few hooligans to look for her; Qingwu isn’t capable of causing trouble for people who would stand up for her. Maybe Lu Shao was beaten by a business partner. Recently, the Lu Family’s business has encountered some problems; we must pay close attention to Chengcheng’s marriage agreement…”
“Dad, do you mean to find me a different marriage partner? I don’t want to! I only like Mingchuan brother!”
More importantly, those young masters who visited Lin’s home since she was young all only wanted to be around Qingwu, but only Lu Mingchuan was different towards her since childhood.
She believed she and Lu Mingchuan were genuinely in love with each other!
Lin Jingsheng, a businessman, always viewed things from a benefit perspective.
“We’ll see, but if the Lu Family really can’t recover, we can’t let Chengcheng join them.”
Qian Yueqiang nodded.
As they walked to the hospital entrance, the family bumped into several uniformed police officers, who stopped them.
“Ms. Qian, Ms. Lin, you are suspected of involvement in a kidnapping case and are now under arrest by law. Please cooperate with the police investigation!”
The three members of the Lin Family: “…”
“Officer, there must be some mistake; how could my wife and daughter be involved in a kidnapping case?”
The officer presented his credentials and documents, “Ms. Qian and Ms. Lin are suspected of instigating Li San’s group to kidnap Ms. Qingwu; please come with us!”
Lin Xuecheng was completely panicked, tears bursting forth.
“Mom, didn’t Qingwu end up fine? She could even seduce Mingchuan brother; why are they arresting us!”
“Yes, Officer, Qingwu even had my fiancé beaten up; aren’t you going to arrest her too?”
Seeing how they were still being unreasonable, the police officer had no goodwill towards the family.
“Come with us first!”
Qian Yueqiang and Lin Xuecheng, sobbing, were taken into the police car, leaving Lin Jingsheng confused in the breeze alone.
What on earth was going on?!
Lin Jingsheng contacted a lawyer first, then instructed his secretary, “Find the phone number that called me before claiming to be Qingwu’s family; contact them and see if Qingwu is with them, and have her come see me immediately!”
As for Qingwu’s phone number, he never saved it.
He never had any reason to contact Qingwu before, and he didn’t even know her number.
Now to find Qingwu, he could only look for the bumpkin who contacted him last time.
“Mr. Lin, I didn’t save that number last time either.”
“Check with the telecom company, since it came from Qingshan County, we must find Qingwu and have her sign a settlement agreement. Certainly, she’s looking for a chance to return; we’ll just give her a little sweetener!”
The Lin Family absolutely wouldn’t let Qingwu return.
That girl even managed to have Qian Yueqiang and Lin Xuecheng arrested by police; clearly she had a sinister and cunning mind, and her heart was dark!
…
Shen Family’s Villa
The family sat together for a meal, with fresh flowers that were changed daily adorning the large dining table; the light falling on the dishes added a warm touch.
When Shen Shaojia’s phone rang, she was peeling shrimp for Qingwu.
She wiped her hands and pressed the answer button, “Hello, can I help you?”
The Lin Family’s secretary haughtily responded, “I am Mr. Lin Jingsheng’s secretary. I am now instructing you to immediately let Qingwu go to the police station and draft a settlement agreement with Mrs. Lin and Ms. Lin, forgiving them.”
Shen Shaojia frowned slightly, “What have they done that needs forgiveness?”
“Although Ms. Lin and Mrs. Lin called for Qingwu to be kidnapped, it was just to help her recognize her current status and assist her in returning to her mountain hometown; it’s just kidnapping, they did nothing wrong at all! Hurry and send Qingwu to the police station!”
Shen Shaojia: “???”
Listen to this—is it even human speech?
“Mr. Lin said, if Qingwu doesn’t go to the police station, he will immediately announce in the papers that she is severed from the Lin Family, better think it over!”
