Qin Miaomiao’s head was slammed hard, leaving her not only dizzy and dazed but also experiencing tinnitus—unable to hear anything.
He called out several times and reached out to hold her, but she groaned:
"Don’t... don’t move me, it hurts."
Lu Qing’s heart felt as if it had been fiercely wrenched, though his face betrayed nothing. His voice grew gentler:
"Where does it hurt? Tell me."
"My head... and my waist."
Lu Qing immediately made a phone call, and within half an hour, the ambulance arrived. Earlier, unsure of where exactly she was injured, he had barely moved her—merely holding her hand tightly all along.
Lu Lu, on the other hand, was increasingly jealous upon witnessing this.
"Brother, I’m injured too! Why do you only care about her and not me?"
Lu Qing turned to glance at her and replied coldly:
"You still have the energy to speak so spiritedly—what could possibly be wrong with you?"
Lu Lu’s indignation deepened upon hearing this, and she began whining:
"Brother, you’re biased! Ever since that woman showed up, you haven’t cared about me at all. My knees and arms are scraped and bleeding, but you don’t even look at them. You’ve changed!"
Lu Qing ignored her tantrum, while Lin Han crouched down beside Lu Lu, took her hand, and spoke softly:
"Lu Lu, where does it hurt? When the ambulance comes, you should go to the hospital for a full-body check as well. Though it looks like you’re fine now, if there’s any lasting injury, that would be terrible. Qing, take good care of her. Leave Lu Lu to me."
Her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze—knowledgeable and considerate. Not only did Lu Lu feel soothed, but even Lu Qing glanced at her and uttered:
Once the ambulance arrived, Qin Miaomiao was placed on the stretcher. Lu Qing devoted all his attention to her, firmly holding her hand as he accompanied her onto the ambulance.
Meanwhile, Lin Han supported Lu Lu into another ambulance.
Lu Lu leaned against Lin Han’s shoulder, sobbing:
"Sister Han, ever since that woman came to my house, my brother has completely changed. That woman is scheming—intentionally sabotaging me. Now not only has my credit card been suspended, but I’m also grounded. I’m not allowed to go out for the entire summer. You saw what happened just now—we both fell down the stairs, yet my brother immediately cared for her and not me. Sister Han, I hate that woman!"
A flicker of dark emotion crossed Lin Han’s eyes, but her face remained calm and tender. She stroked Lu Lu gently and comforted her:
"Alright, Lu Lu, stop crying. Look at yourself—you’re bouncing around, while that woman can’t even move. Who do you think your brother would care for?"
Lu Lu stared at her as if suddenly understanding something:
"Sister Han, are you saying...?"
Lin Han smiled faintly and continued:
"You’re too straightforward—that’s why you end up walking right into others’ traps. In this situation, it’s obviously her fault, but because she’s badly injured, who do you think your brother would protect? If she shifts the blame onto you, your brother would detest you even more. At that point, it won’t just stop at suspending your credit card."
Lu Lu didn’t dare admit she’d been the one to push her, fearing her brother would hate her completely. The thought of that woman monopolizing Lu Qing filled her with rage—she wanted nothing more than to drive the woman out!
She gripped Lin Han’s hand tightly, her expression tense:
"Sister Han, what should I do then?"
Lin Han’s demeanor exuded grace and poise, her aura that of a refined lady—easy to trust. She spoke gently:
"Actually, it’s simple. In the future, don’t openly clash with that woman in front of your brother. Instead, try to treat her well."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Lu protested loudly:
"No way! Asking me to treat that woman well? You might as well kill me instead!"
"Then just wait for her to completely take your brother away, for your brother to listen to her every word, and even secretly transfer the family shares that should belong to you into her name. With the two of you at each other’s throats , do you think you’ll get any benefits in the future?"
