My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Just then, the door to the living room was suddenly pushed open.

Two tall silhouettes hurriedly strode in.

Through her tear-blurred eyes, Qiao Yin struggled to lift her head and saw that the man in the lead was Lu Lingche, impeccably dressed in a suit and shoes.

“Qiao Yin!”

Lu Lingche yelled her name, kicking away the maid that was pressing down on Qiao Yin.

He scooped her up, “Are you okay? Qiao Yin, say something!”

Qiao Yin’s back was in severe pain, her whole body was trembling, she sobbed, asking him, “Lu Lingche, are you going to kill me for Lan Yuyi?”

Something in Lu Lingche’s heart seemed to be pricked by a needle: “Don’t talk nonsense. No one is trying to kill you.”

Seeing his daughter-in-law’s bloody back, Lu Mingzhen’s face darkened: “Lingche, quickly take her to the hospital!”

After saying that, he remembered that the hospital was packed with people; the events of today could easily leak out.

He quickly corrected himself: “Take her to your place, get the family doctor to treat her. We should avoid the hospital.”

Lu Lingche picked her up and started to leave.

Madam Lu was about to stop them, but Lu Mingzhen sternly rebuked, “Yao Suhe, have you caused enough trouble?”

Madam Lu’s brows furrowed as she looked at him, “What do you mean? I can’t even discipline my daughter-in-law now?”

Lu Mingzhen was barely keeping his anger in check: “In the Lu family, there are no precedents of a mother-in-law whipping her daughter-in-law! What are you trying to do? If we hadn’t come back, would you have beaten her to death?”

“Why are you making it sound so severe? I merely disciplined her a little. She’s still alive and well, isn’t she?”

“If she died, it would be too late!”

Lu Mingzhen’s roar echoed in the living room: “If the Lu Family is tainted with the stigma of beating a daughter-in-law to death, our family’s century-old reputation would be destroyed in an instant! Are you going to ruin the Lu Family?”

Madam Lu sank back onto the sofa and began to cry: “What are you all doing? You’re all bullying me, aren’t you? I was provoked by Qiao Yin, you didn’t hear how she cursed at me and Yuyi, she even wanted to harm the child in Yuyi’s belly, that child is my life! How could I not be anxious?”

“Even if you’re anxious, you can’t beat her! Only the most despicable families resort to assaulting their daughters-in-law. Where is your sense?!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong, it’s Qiao Yin who is too arrogant! And she threatened me, saying she would ruin the Lu family, I taught her a lesson for the sake of the Lu family!”

“So you beat her? If this gets out, can you live with yourself? Don’t you fear the reputation of being a cruel and abusive mother-in-law?”

“It won’t get out. I’ve managed our household well over the years, Lu Mingzhen, you should be thankful! It’s because of me that the Lu family’s reputation has been improving!”

“You are just beyond reason!”

On the other hand, Lu Lingche took Qiao Yin home.

When Lingche placed Qiao Yin on the bed, she had already fainted from the intense pain.

He lifted her shirt only to see her immaculate skin marred by fresh, bloody wounds. The marks of the lash crisscrossing her back were terrifying and gruesome.

He felt a sharp, unexpected pain in his chest.

Lu Lingche found it strange, he’d seen injuries much more gruesome than this, but he’d never felt like this before.

The doctor arrived quickly and began cleaning Qiao Yin’s wounds.

The process was too painful and jolted Qiao Yin back into consciousness.

She found herself lying on a familiar bed, in a daze, she hadn’t understood what had happened and asked in confusion: “Why is it this bed? Am I dead?”

“You’re not dead.”

A familiar, indifferent voice replied. Qiao Yin couldn’t help but turn her head to look.

Then she saw Lu Lingche.

His white shirt was stained with blotches of blood, his hair disheveled, and his face wore a grim expression. The usual air of a refined gentleman was nowhere to be found.

The pain coursed through her and Qiao Yin was suddenly snapped back to reality – Lu Lingche had brought her home!

She immediately tried to get up, struggling: “I won’t stay here, I want to go home!”
