Chapter 1769 - It Is Hard to Speak of One’s Troubles (9) (1/2)

When Li Tingting lifted her gaze, she was immediately stunned into silence.

Before coming, her mother had said that Madam Lu was an ugly duckling, that she had such a small presence that one wouldn’t even know she was there.

Hence, she hadn’t bothered to prepare. But unexpectedly, as she looked up at that face… Although she wasn’t wearing makeup, it was clear that the girl had exquisite features. She had the sort of face that could easily withstand scrutiny.

Seeing that Qiao Yiyi was this pretty made Li Tingting even more envious.

She drew in a deep breath and said, “I heard what happened. Why didn’t you call home if you had managed to escape? If you had, this wouldn’t have happened to Second Brother. It will be your fault if his leg suffers any side effects from this.”

Li Tingting narrowed her eyes after she said this.

She had heard that Lu Qingtian had given Qiao Yiyi a tight slap because of this, so she was quite sure that even if she were to rub salt into the wound, Lu Qingtian wasn’t going to defend the girl.

But unexpectedly, before Qiao Yiyi could even react, Lu Qingtian spoke. Li Tingting had initially thought she would rebuke Qiao Yiyi, but instead the woman directed her remark at Li Tingting. “I have to say, Tingting, is this the way you speak to your Second Sister-in-law?”

Li Tingting was stunned. “Second Sister-in-law?”

Lu Qingtian nodded and continued, “You’re always calling Nanze your Second Brother, so isn’t she your Second Sister-in-law then?”

Li Tingting almost gagged.

Lu Qingtian snorted coldly. “Besides, it was a good enough thing that Yiyi was able to escape by herself. She didn’t have a cell phone on her at all, how could she have called Lu Nanze?”

Li Tingting: …!!

That wasn’t in the script. Why wasn’t the woman playing along?

At this point, they heard a slight movement. All of them turned around simultaneously and found that Lu Nanze had woken up.

He opened his eyes slowly. The first person he saw was Qiao Yiyi.
