Chapter 787: Chapter 787: President Lu, Are You Going to Take Revenge for Me?
Both of them were taken aback upon seeing Qiao Yin.
Gu Ranxuan had seen Qiao Yin before, but now her face was visibly marred with horrific scratch marks, making her beyond recognition. Gu Ranxuan was taken aback, not recognising her, but shocked that she emerged from her father’s office with such a face.
However, Lu Lingche recognized Qiao Yin immediately. At the sight of her face, an indescribable pain gripped his heart.
He wanted to ask her what had happened to her face, but Qiao Yin walked right past him, as if she didn’t know him, and left.
He couldn’t help but to turn around, about to follow her, when he heard Gu Ranxuan say: “President Lu, we should go in now. The collaboration project you mentioned needs to be discussed with my father. After all, it involves a wide range of things and I don’t have the authority to make such an important decision yet.”
Lu Lingche turned around and went into Gu Chengqiao’s office with her.
Despite having countless questions about the girl who just left her father’s office, Gu Ranxuan held her tongue in front of Lu Lingche.
Of course, Gu Chengqiao wouldn’t bring it up. The moment he saw Lu Lingche, he instantly donned a warm, friendly expression, inviting him to sit, and instructing the secretary to make tea. His shift of roles was fluid and his interaction with others impeccable.
Qiao Yin had already left the office building of Guotai Corporation. She drove back to the Hospital without daring to return to the Medical Clinic, afraid that her grandmother would be heartbroken and angry if she saw her face.
She even feared scaring patients at the Hospital. When she arrived, she put on a medical mask to cover her wounds.
By the time she returned to her office, her mask was stained a patch of red.
After removing the mask, Qiao Yin looked at her face in the mirror, then expressionlessly opened the medical box and began treating her wounds.
The pain was throbbing, but Qiao Yin gritted her teeth and endured it. After a while, tears started streaming down her face.

But, she wasn’t crying out of physical pain, but because she was reminded of her mother.
The tragedy of that year was deeply etched in her memory, and nothing faded with the passage of time.
The wounds on her face could still heal, but her mother would never return.
Back then, her mother must have endured a lot of mistreatment. Knowing Hou Jinhua’s domineering and ruthless character, he could never have allowed Gu Chengqiao to fancy another woman.
But it didn’t matter, all the wrong she had suffered and the grievances her mother had endured, she would made them pay sooner or later!
After cleaning her wounds, Qiao Yin began to apply medicine.
Just as she picked up a cotton swab, the door to her office was pushed open. Lu Lingche strode in, followed by an assistant who quietly closed the door from outside.
“What happened to your face?”
Lu Lingche walked over to Qiao Yin, a hint of anger flickering on his cold face. “Who did this to you?”
Qiao Yin glanced at him, then continued to apply medicine in front of the mirror. “It has nothing to do with you. Please remember to knock before entering my office next time. It’s rude not to.”
Lu Lingche grabbed her wrist and whisked away the tears falling down her cheek and chin.
Then, he took the cotton swab from her and, with a cold face and gentle movements, started to apply medicine for her. “Was it Gu Chengqiao who hurt you?”
“No. How could the kind and gentle President Gu do such a thing?”
“His kindness is all an act. You just don’t know how sinister he is.”
A thought crossed Qiao Yin’s mind. “Oh, it looks like President Lu knows something. Do tell.”
“Tell me who hurt you first, then I’ll tell you what I know.”
“What can you do even if you know who hurt me? Are you going to avenge me?”
“Can’t I?”
“Of course you can. But I don’t think President Lu would do me this favor even if he knew who hurt me.”
Lu Lingche furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “Was it Lan Yuyi?”
