Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Disfigurement
Editor: Atlas Studios
Is the position of the young mistress of the Lu family just for show?
Does she really need to cook herself?
Moreover, there was food left for her in the refrigerator, no need to boil noodles!
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, not even sure what he was fuming over.
Seeing his master raging like an angry lion, Assistant Director Yang felt a kindred distress.
“Yang Li, if a woman risks her life to shield you from danger, what does that mean?”
Yang Li was taken aback, realizing the master was concerned about the young mistress.
The sycophant quickly came online, “Of course it’s because she likes you. The young mistress must have risked her life to save you because she likes you, mainly because you are handsome, dashing, majestic, wise and mighty, and have power and influence…
Lu Hualiang cast a cold glance, silencing Yang Li’s endless prattle.
“Is it not because she’s playing hard to get?”
Yang Li’s mouth hung open, seeing through to the essence!
It seemed his master had indeed developed feelings but mistook Xia Weibao’s life-saving act as a ploy to curry favor, not genuine concern.
So that’s why he was sulking here?
True to his master’s form, always so fastidious!
If you like her, just boldly admit it. Why concoct all sorts of conspiracy theories?
But it wasn’t all his fault, considering his position, where there were indeed too many women with ulterior motives.
Especially considering Xia Weibao’s past scandals, the kind that were so heavy they wouldn’t wash away even if thrown into the Yellow River – the kind that could lead straight to capital punishment.
Yang Li’s gaze grew distant as he saw beyond the thick walls to the future subject of his flattery.
This Xia Weibao was not simple at all; in just two days, she had melted his master’s perennial iceberg.
Thereupon, Assistant Director Yang decided to be the first to support the young mistress. In the future, he would be hailed as a founding supporter!
His prospects were boundless!
“I don’t know if the young mistress did it intentionally, but I do know that if one loses their life, there’s no point in talking about schemes or conspiracies.”
Lu Hualiang’s pupils contracted.
His calm facade successfully hid his inner turmoil.
Just then, the door to the operating room opened, and the doctor walked out.
Lu Hualiang stood up, “Doctor, how is my wife?”
Yang Li subtly glanced at his master.
Now he starts calling her his wife. This kid is catching on fast!
The doctor removed his mask and shook his head, “She has 80% burns on her back, and severe burns on her neck and side of her face. It’s very serious; she needs a skin graft.”
Lu Hualiang’s body trembled slightly, and his lips formed a straight line.
He appeared calm, as if the doctor’s words had no effect on him.
Only his slowly clenching fist betrayed his true feelings.
Yang Li, in despair, said, “Doctor, will our young mistress be disfigured?”
The doctor looked at Lu Hualiang with difficulty and shook his head helplessly, “Now that the plastic surgery industry is so advanced, the scars should be able to fade a bit. Complete recovery, however…”
There was no need for the doctor to finish; everyone present understood.
Lu Hualiang’s facial features tensed coldly, looking even colder than usual, “When is the surgery?”
“We’re still doing skin tests. Probably in two days.”
After instructing Yang Li to ensure confidentiality, Lu Hualiang walked into the ward.
At this time, Xia Weibao hadn’t awakened yet. She lay prone on the bed, her back exposed and flesh torn.
Her skin, once fair and delicate, now looked ghastly.
Her hair had been burned off partially, looking like dry grass sticking to her wounded face.
Lu Hualiang’s eyes flickered as he gently lifted her hair at her temples.
To avoid infecting the wound.
For a woman, such as thing is unspeakably cruel.
Especially when she’s a public figure.
