Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Break Your Legs

“You’re insane!”

Lu Ming roared and hurled the vase back.

The vase shattered at Qiao Xin’s feet, scaring her into screaming. By the time she collected herself, she saw Lu Ming already dragging the girl, about to leave.

“Lu Ming! Stop right there!”

“Qiao Xin! Have you had enough trouble yet? You don’t work properly at the company, and now you run back here causing a scene without reason. Can’t you stay put?”

Although Qiao Xin felt no affection for Lu Ming, there was still a marriage between them, and even if there were no marriage, there was still a business partnership.

How could Lu Ming bring another woman home when she had just had a miscarriage less than a month ago!

“Lu Ming! You are shameless! You are disgusting!”

“If you still want to continue our partnership, right now! Immediately! Kick this woman out of my house! Otherwise, I assure you, you will gain nothing!”

Qiao Xin pointed at Lin Ke, screaming hysterically while Lin Ke, standing behind Lu Ming, turned pale and grasped Lu Ming’s sleeve fearfully.

Lu Ming hated to admit it, but he was threatened by Qiao Xin.

If he truly angered Qiao Xin, and if he didn’t get the shares from her, he would sooner or later have no place in Lu Group!

“Ming… maybe, maybe I should just leave. Sister might have misunderstood, you should explain to her, I’ll, I’ll leave first!”

Lin Ke’s voice was trembling with a cry, her eyes darting frantically between Lu Ming and Qiao Xin, she grabbed her purse and quickly ran out of the villa.

“Keke! Keke!”

“Stop right there! If you dare to leave today, you will absolutely gain nothing!”

Lu Ming’s footsteps halted, he took two deep breaths, turned around and glared at Qiao Xin with clenched teeth.

“What exactly do you want!”

“Keke is my childhood friend, I’ve always treated her as a sister! Aren’t the things you’re saying today a bit too much!”

“Look at yourself now, you’re just like a madwoman! You’re just a madwoman!”

Lu Ming cursed loudly, but Qiao Xin stood her ground unyieldingly.

“I’m a madwoman! I was mad the moment when you came crying to my house, begging to marry me!”

“If it wasn’t for you, for you all, I would never have married you!”

“You can look for any woman you like, play however you want! Why should I sacrifice my happiness for your selfish goals?”

“Why aren’t you Lu Yanchuan!”

Lu Ming was utterly infuriated and rushed over, grabbing Qiao Xin and pushing her to the ground.

Qiao Yi received a call from the hospital while she and Lu Yanchuan were on their way home.

“Let’s go to the Central Hospital first, Qiao Xin was beaten and ended up in the hospital by Lu Ming.”

Lu Yanchuan was bewildered, although there was no affection between Qiao Xin and Lu Ming, it shouldn’t have escalated to physical violence!

It was only when Lu Yanchuan and Qiao Yi arrived at the hospital that they finally understood how severe the fight was.

Qiao Xin was asleep in the hospital room, and Lu Ming was also covered in injuries, receiving treatment outside.

“Slap!”

“Qiao Yi, are you sick!”

Lu Ming jumped off the hospital bed and pointed at Qiao Yi, unable to contain his rage.

“Am I sick or are you sick! You really have some nerve! Having no ability other than to beat your wife! You like using your hands, huh! Come on, fight me! If I don’t beat you to death, I’ll take your last name!”

Although Lu Ming could fight with Qiao Xin, he was no match for Qiao Yi. The doctors and nurses in the emergency room wanted to break up the fight, but the people brought by Lu Yanchuan blocked them all outside, not giving them a chance to intervene.

Lu Ming fighting Qiao Yi was purely asking for a beating.

“I’m telling you, it’s my business how I view Qiao Xin, you Lu Ming have no right to lay a hand on her!”

“Let me make this clear today, don’t let me find out that these two claws of yours touch Qiao Xin again, or I’ll rip them off!”

Qiao Yi kicked Lu Ming, sending him crashing into a nearby cabinet. The wound that had just been bandaged by the doctor burst open again, and this time no one bandaged it for him. Within two minutes, a few policemen came in and took Lu Ming away.

Qiao Yi, with a fierce expression, sat outside in the hospital corridor, with no one daring to come near her except for Lu Yanchuan.

“When I was very young, Qiao Xin, being beautiful, often got bullied by other girls and boys too. Back then, I kept thinking that I would become very strong so that I could protect my sister.”

“But later on, I did become very strong, but she no longer needed my protection.”

Tears silently slid down her cheeks, and Qiao Yi furrowed her brows, unable to put her feelings into words.

“I hate her, I’m sure of that, but seeing her beaten like this by Lu Ming, I get so angry.”

“She looks so strong in front of me, why does she get bullied by Lu Ming!”

“And me, why do I feel sympathy for her! She’s so unbearable, I really don’t want to feel sorry for her!”

Qiao Yi probably wanted to cry, but she tugged at the corners of her mouth, and no more tears flowed.

“Just do whatever makes you happy; these shouldn’t be worries.”

Lu Yanchuan’s voice was always calm and deep, bringing much comfort to anyone who heard it.

“Let Lu Ming stay in there for a few days, and don’t allow anyone to get him out!”

Qiao Yi wiped her tears and fiercely punched her thigh.

With a caregiver at the hospital, Qiao Yi left without waiting for Qiao Xin to wake up.

Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan went straight back to the old house; they had to notify Old Mr. Lu about this matter.

Even though Old Mr. Lu didn’t like Lu Ming very much, Lu Ming was still his grandson, and he needed to be informed.

However, to Qiao Yi’s surprise, Old Mr. Lu fully approved of what Qiao Yi had done.

She had prepared a lot of persuasive and apologetic words, but none of them were needed.

“Lu Ming was indeed wrong this time. Letting him reflect for a few days is necessary. But your sister, when she comes back, must receive a proper apology from Lu Ming!”

“In a marriage, disagreements are normal, but a man should never lay hands on a woman, that’s a bottom line!”

As he said this, Old Mr. Lu gave Lu Yanchuan a meaningful look.

Lu Yanchuan turned his head, avoiding Old Mr. Lu’s gaze, but Old Mr. Lu didn’t intend to let him off, thumping his cane and starting to warn him.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you upfront!”

“If you dare lay hands on Yiyi, it won’t be as simple as just a few days in detention–I’ll break your legs!”

“Do you hear me!”

Qiao Yi, standing mischievously behind Old Mr. Lu, waved her fists at Lu Yanchuan with clear provocational intent.

Lu Yanchuan hooked his lip corners, sometimes punishment wasn’t just about getting physical.
