Unfortunately, deep down, it was more vicious than some men.

Over the years, she had put in a lot of effort and had grown as close to Madam Qin as a mother and daughter.

Seeing Su Qiao, she smiled naturally, "Su Qiao's back. Are your injuries healed? Your leg should be fine now, right?"

To an ordinary person, there was nothing wrong with this question, but Su Qiao, who knew she was the culprit, heard a great deal of malice in it.

Now, the entire Qin Family old mansion probably knew about her leg problems, and perhaps she wouldn't be able to stand up again.

Her question wasn't out of concern, but rather sarcasm and schadenfreude.

Su Qiao didn't get angry; instead, she looked at her meaningfully, "My leg is fine, don't worry."

I'm fine, but someone else is going to have trouble very soon.

Qin Yu shot Guo Xiaoyu a warning glance, then quickly stepped forward:

"Qiao Qiao, why didn't you say anything about being discharged? I just got back from Country M and was about to go to the hospital to see you."

Su Qiao avoided his hand and said rather coolly, "I left when I wanted to."

Qin Yu's hand paused, a flicker of suspicion in his eyes.

He then naturally placed his hand on the wheelchair and asked softly, "Is your phone broken?"

"I've been worried about you these past few days. Your calls weren't going through, and you weren't replying to my messages. I was afraid something happened to you, so I rushed back before I even finished my work in Country M."

As soon as he said this, Guo Xiaoyu, who was already a bit annoyed, turned pale.

The smile on her lips also fell, and she stared at Su Qiao with a somewhat cold gaze.

Su Qiao glanced at him, then suddenly, like before, she smiled somewhat shyly and happily at Qin Yu:

"My phone? I forgot where I put it. It's probably out of battery, right? Did you call a lot?"

Qin Yu secretly scrutinized her for a moment, and the trace of doubt in his heart vanished. He gently stroked her head with a soft expression:

"Yes, I called whenever I had free time every day, but I never got through. That's why I rushed back."

"Sorry," Su Qiao whispered insincerely.

This scene, in Guo Xiaoyu's eyes, was a sign of mutual affection, of Su Qiao deliberately provoking her.

She was so furious that her anger surged, almost causing her to erupt on the spot.

She stared grimly at Su Qiao's leg, scoffing internally.

Shameless hussy, let you be smug for a while. Once you two get married and move out, I'll let you know what I'm capable of.

Mother Qin also disliked her son putting a woman on such a high pedestal and snorted:

"Hmph, I thought you weren't coming back. After all that, didn't you just shamelessly come back?"

Qin Yu frowned, "Mom, Qiao Qiao just got discharged, can you say less?"

"Fine, fine, fine. She's a living ancestor, can't be spoken ill of, can't be scolded."

Mother Qin tossed her bag to the maid at the door and walked into the hall huffily.

Qin Yu turned back, giving Su Qiao a wry, apologetic smile, then bent down: "Qiao Qiao, I'll carry you up."

Qin Mohan strode over from the direction of the garage. Seeing Qin Yu reach out to embrace Su Qiao, his gaze darkened as he stared at the two maids by the hall entrance:

"Are the Qin Family's maids just freeloaders?"

Lin Shen followed behind, trembling, stealing a glance at the surprised Su Qiao.

Because he had falsely reported Su Qiao's discharge time to the President, and the President had been staring at him with death glares the entire way, he could only drive the car almost flying.

So they arrived at the Qin Family old mansion earlier than Su Qiao and the others.

However, after the car was parked in the garage, the President didn't get out.

Instead, he sat in the car and smoked a cigarette until Su Qiao's car entered the Qin Family compound before getting out.

"Ah... A'Mo?"

Mother Qin had just entered the main hall when she heard the familiar voice and quickly came back out.

She was greatly startled to see Qin Mohan.

Why did he actually come back?
