Unfortunately, deep down, she was even more vicious than some men.
Over the years, she had put in quite a bit of effort and had grown as close to Madam Qin as if they were mother and daughter.
When she saw Su Qiao, she smiled naturally. "Su Qiao, you're back. Are your injuries healed? Your leg should be fine, right?"
To an ordinary person, there would have been nothing wrong with those words. But Su Qiao, who knew that she was the true culprit, could hear the malicious intent behind them.
By now, everyone at the Qin family's Old Manor probably knew that something was wrong with her leg. Perhaps they even knew that she might never be able to stand again.
Her question was not out of concern at all, but mockery and schadenfreude.
Su Qiao did not get angry. Instead, she looked at her meaningfully. "My leg is fine. Don't worry."
I'm fine, but some people will be in trouble soon.
Qin Yu shot Guo Xiaoyu a warning glance, then hurried forward.
"Qiaoqiao, why didn't you tell me you were 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 replied somewhat coolly, "I wanted to leave, so I did."
Qin Yu's hand paused, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Then he placed it on the wheelchair naturally and asked in a gentle voice, "Is your phone broken?"
"I've been worried about you these past few days. I couldn't get through to you, and you didn't reply to my messages. I was afraid something had happened to you, so I hurried back before I'd even finished dealing with things in Country M."
As soon as he said this, Guo Xiaoyu, who was already somewhat irritated, looked grim.
The smile at the corners of her lips collapsed as well, and she stared at Su Qiao with a slightly cold gaze.
Su Qiao glanced at him, then suddenly smiled at Qin Yu as she had in the past, a little shy and a little happy.
"My phone? I forgot where I put it. It probably ran out of battery, right? Did you call me a lot?"
Qin Yu secretly studied her for a while. The trace of suspicion in his heart vanished, and he gently patted the top of her head with a softened expression.
"Yes. I called you whenever I had free time every day, but I could never get through. That's why I rushed back."
"I'm sorry." Su Qiao lowered her voice and apologized without much sincerity.
In Guo Xiaoyu's eyes, this scene showed a man and woman in love, with Su Qiao deliberately provoking her.
She was so furious that her anger churned violently, and she nearly lost her temper on the spot.
She glared viciously at Su Qiao's leg and sneered inwardly.
Shameless bitch. Enjoy your triumph for now.
Once you two get married and move out, I'll show you what I'm capable of.
Mother Qin likewise could not stand seeing her son elevate a woman so highly. She snorted.
"Hmph, I thought you weren't coming back. After all that, you still came crawling back shamelessly?"
Qin Yu frowned. "Mom, Qiaoqiao just got out of the hospital. Could you say a little less?"
"Fine, fine, fine. She's an ancestor, so she can't be spoken to or scolded."
Mother Qin tossed the bag in her hand to the maid at the door and stormed into the hall.
Qin Yu turned back and gave Su Qiao an apologetic, bitter smile before bending down. "Qiaoqiao, I'll carry you upstairs."
Qin Mohan strode over from the direction of the garage. Seeing Qin Yu reach out to carry Su Qiao, he fixed a dark gaze on the two maids at the entrance to the hall.
"Are all the Qin family's maids freeloaders?"
Lin Shen followed behind him nervously and stole a glance at Su Qiao's surprised face.
Because he had lied to the CEO about the time Su Qiao would be discharged, and because the CEO had been glaring at him murderously the entire way, he had driven so fast that the car had nearly taken flight.
That was why they had arrived at the Qin family's Old Manor before Su Qiao and the others.
However, after the car was parked in the garage, the CEO had not gotten out.
Instead, he sat in the car and smoked a cigarette until Su Qiao's car entered the Qin family's grounds. Only then did he get out.
"Ah... A-Mo?"
Mother Qin had just entered the hall when she heard the familiar voice and hurried back out.
When she saw Qin Mohan, she was stunned.
How did he really come back?
