Chapter 1774: Did They Think She Was a Weakling? (4)
It should do the trick.
But Lu Nanze had underestimated how thick-skinned a girl could be.
Li Tingting came back into the room with Lu Qiangtian. Seeing that the man had his eyes closed, the latter asked Qiao Yiyi softly, “Fallen asleep again?”
Qiao Yiyi nodded.
He had been silent ever since he had finished washing up a while ago, so he must have fallen asleep.
Lu Qiangtian continued in a low voice, “I’ve asked the butler to buy some food. It’s not been easy for you to take care of him.”
The moment she said this, Li Tingting added with awkward sarcasm, “If it weren’t for her, Second Brother wouldn’t have ended up like this. Auntie Lu, you’re being too polite!”
Lu Qiangtian frowned and said, “Tingting, this is our family’s business, you shouldn’t meddle. And since Nanze is asleep, I suggest you leave for today.”
Li Tingting immediately retorted, “Auntie Lu, I know it isn’t appropriate for me to be here, but you’ve seen for yourself that you can’t handle it alone. It’s better that I stay to help you.”
Lu Qingtian replied, “I’m fine doing this by myself, I really don’t need help.”
“Well then, I still want to watch over Second Brother until he’s fine. This is what I’d like to do for him as a friend. Aunty, I’m sure you will grant me this simple request?”
Lu Qingtian: …
Qiao Yiyi: …
That was a real display of how shameless the girl could get.
Lu Nanze hadn’t really spoken much to her, but she still insisted on staying?
Qiao Yiyi grimaced and got to her feet. “Aunty, I’ll go and see if the food has been delivered.”
Lu Qingtian nodded.
As she walked out of the room, she heard Li Tingting complaining, “Second Brother is in such a state and food is all she thinks about! Does she even care?”
Lu Qingtian snorted icily and replied, “Do you expect her to look after Nanze on an empty stomach? It’s at any rate better than people who just talk and do nothing.”
Li Tingting tried to defend herself. “Aunty, that wasn’t what I meant. I—”
Qiao Yiyi did not hear what was said after that.
She waited for a while in the corridor until she saw the butler approaching with a food box.
Together with the butler, she returned to the room.
Everyone’s eyes were on the bag the butler was holding.
Li Tingting spoke first, “I’m not leaving today. So is there dinner for me too?”
Everyone: …
Seeing that there was only food for two, Qiao Yiyi said, “Aunty, I can eat something else. You and Miss Li can have this food.”
That would give her a chance to get some air.
However to her surprise, Lu Qingtian got on her feet at once and said, “It’s alright, it’s better if you stay. I’ll eat out. Anyway, I might get better food outside.”
Then she stared fiercely at Qiao Yiyi and pinched the girl on the arm, giving her an eye signal that she wanted to have a chat outside.
Qiao Yiyi was clueless, but followed Lu Qingtian out of the room. Outside, the woman reprimanded her, “Why are you being so silly? Huh? Don’t you know that Li Tingting is interested in Lu Nanze? I’m warning you, you’d better watch over him these few days. You can’t go anywhere else! This is to prevent Li Tingting from taking any opportunities.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
Qiao Yiyi winced and nodded.
Exasperated with how slow the girl was, she said, “Can’t you react with a little more? Talking to you is exhausting to say the least! You blockhead.”
