Seeing that she refused to speak, the old lady immediately put on a queenly face, and finally her gaze fell upon Nangong He’s face!
"He Lao, although Qiangwei is now the granddaughter of the Nangong Family, she is also my Qin Family’s granddaughter-in-law. If anyone dares to bully her, I would fight to my last breath against him!"
As her words ended, her cold gaze didn’t forget to sweep a glance at Nangong Feifei.
Though she spent most of her time in the estate, it did not mean she was oblivious to everything.
This Nangong Feifei had always seen Qiangwei as a thorn in her side, indeed! It must have been her who bullied Qiangwei!
Perhaps out of respect for her being from the Qin Family, Nangong Feifei’s heart quivered the moment their eyes met.
But what frustrated her the most was, why did the whole world seem to be helping Gu Qiangwei!?
The words of the old lady made Gu Qiangwei lower her head somewhat guiltily.
Just now, on her way downstairs, Nangong Feifei indeed pushed her, but did not succeed.
But now, it seemed like she was the one being bullied...
Facing Zhuang Yanyan’s angry face, Nangong He opened his mouth but didn’t seem to know what to say.
Since he recognized Qiangwei, he and the Qin Family were on the path to resolving past conflicts, thus he was neither unwelcoming of Zhuang Yanyan’s arrival nor overly enthusiastic about it.
Following this, Li Yuan also arrived.
After examining Gu Qiangwei for a while, he applied some medicine to her.
Unable to bear it, Nangong He had him also check the wound on Nangong Feifei’s forehead along the way.
"How is it? She’s okay, isn’t she?" Nangong He couldn’t help but ask after watching him treat his granddaughter’s injury.
Li Yuan cracked a smile, "It’s nothing serious, just a minor injury. It will heal in a couple of days."
Hearing this, Nangong He nodded his head in relief.
"And how about my granddaughter-in-law? Is her foot alright?" The Qin old lady asked, looking at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan glanced at Gu Qiangwei’s foot, "Well, as the saying goes, ’A bone injury takes a hundred days to heal.’ Although it’s just a sprain, the injury is indeed not light. She needs to rest for at least half a month or more."
"She just sprained her ankle, how can it be that serious!?"
Hearing Li Yuan’s conclusion, Nangong Feifei naturally became indignant.
She fell all the way down the stairs, and yet he said it was fine, that she would recover in just two days.
While Gu Qiangwei merely twisted her ankle, and even though she clearly stood up at the time, he was saying she needed half a month of rest?
"I am a doctor, don’t I know better than you?"
Although he did not know the true story, the simultaneous injuries of both women made it obvious that Qiangwei’s injury had something to do with Nangong Feifei!
Looking at Li Yuan, Nangong Feifei sneered, her lips curling coldly as her eyes suddenly became fierce, and she said to Li Yuan, "You’re so eager to help Gu Qiangwei, could it be that you’re having an affair with her?" After speaking, she sneered again, "Heh! It’s no wonder, after all, Qin Sijue left, and Gu Qiangwei is alone at home. You come and go in Jueyuan as you please, never avoiding suspicion. Could it be that you’ve really done something inappropriate with her——"
Her words hadn’t finished when a figure suddenly rushed over, and with a lift and fall of a hand, the crisp sound of a slap echoed through the entire living room.
This sudden slap dumbfounded everyone present as they looked at Gu Qiangwei in surprise.
But in everyone’s heart, it was clear that what Nangong Feifei had just said was indeed too much.
Clutching her cheek that burned like fire, Nangong Feifei turned her head, looking incredulously at Gu Qiangwei, "You slapped me?"
With an icy expression, Gu Qiangwei retorted, "Why shouldn’t I?"
