Chapter 12 Reacting to Your Body

Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Reacting to Your BodyLooking at Old Sir Lu lying in bed, appearing somewhat frail, Qin Miaomiao's eyes involuntarily grew moist, almost shedding tears.

This was Qin Miaomiao's natural reaction. It was precisely because of Old Sir Lu's presence that the once simple-minded Qin Miaomiao had been able to survive in the complicated Lu Family without enduring too much hardship.

But sadly, she had let this kind, elder man down. All because of some groundless rumors, and repeatedly staging suicide attempts, which were deeply hurtful.

That guilt belonged to Qin Miaomiao, but not her. She was Su Jin, harboring resentment and coming here with the intent to seek revenge—Su Jin!

She concealed all her emotions and lowered her head, which, in the eyes of others, made it seem as if she had suffered some grievance.

Old Sir Lu's gaze fell on her wrist, his brows furrowed, and his expression instantly darkened.

"Lu Qing, is this how you treat your wife?"

Qin Miaomiao knew that Old Sir Lu was about to scold Lu Qing because of the wounds on her wrists.

But it wasn't his fault at all, so before Lu Qing could speak, she hurriedly and guiltily said:

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's because I've been too impulsive. It's not his fault, really, it's not his fault..."

If, just a moment ago, Qin Miaomiao had been cooperating with Lu Qing in their joint performance, then at this very moment, she was still acting!

The mere contractual tie with Lu Qing wasn't enough for her to establish herself in the Qin Family. She needed the greatest elder of the Lu Family to become her strongest support!

Lu Qing had initially planned to negotiate carefully with Old Sir Lu or somehow brush it off. But he hadn't expected this woman's acting skills to be so superb—crying so convincingly even while performing?

It seemed the saying "women are made of water" was indeed true. It's just... there seems to be an abundance of it in this case.

As an observer, Old Sir Lu saw her crying and his heart naturally softened. After all, it was he who had personally brought the once fragile Qin Miaomiao into the Lu Family and protected her all along. How could he not know what kind of temperament she had?

The relieved Old Sir Lu was about to speak when he suddenly heard Qin Miaomiao's choked voice again:

"Grandfather, it's my fault. He's always busy with work, and instead of being considerate of him, I made a fuss and acted out—it's truly outrageous of me. Thinking from another perspective, if I were him, I wouldn't be able to show the patience he has. So, Grandfather, can you forgive my selfishness? And please, don't blame Lu Qing, okay?"

Her voice, laced with a hint of softness, immediately melted Old Sir Lu's heart. He had always doted on her, and now, seeing her make such a cautious effort to please him, how could he feel even the slightest anger?

"Ah, you foolish child, no matter how upset you are, you shouldn't be hurting yourself. Even if he dares bully you, don't you still have me? Come to me, and I'll surely take care of this brat for you. All right, all right, stop crying now, your eyes haven't fully healed yet. Hmm, does your hand still hurt?"

Hearing these warm words, Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude. She shook her head with reddened eyes, "It doesn't hurt anymore. The doctor said it'll be fine after a few more rounds of medication."

If she continued to lash out irrationally and cry endlessly, Old Sir Lu might grow even more disappointed in her, and might even agree to Lu Qing's suggestion to consider a divorce.

But now, seeing her display understanding and empathy, it was evident that she had reflected deeply over these past few days and genuinely made a change.

Who hasn't made mistakes? She was only in her early twenties and had hardly known any affection. With the Qin Family currently in disarray, if she truly got divorced, her days ahead would be incredibly hard. Since she had already shown signs of transformation, why not give her a chance?

Old Sir Lu turned to Lu Qing and said in an almost commanding tone:

"Lu Qing, she is your wife. As long as I'm still alive, neither of you are allowed to get divorced!"
