“How, how could it be? Ms. Lu, you’ve really misunderstood me!”

Lu Qi made Doctor Qin stutter in fear. “As the Lu family’s private doctor, since I’m being paid, I must fulfill my duties. How could I trouble you to help me pass on the things?”

“Moreover, I need to personally inform Ms. Nuannuan about the amount of ointment to apply.”

Lu Qi lazily curled up on the sofa and did not continue to ask. It was as if she believed Doctor Qin’s explanation, but she also did not seem to believe it.

Doctor Qin secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He stole a glance at Lu Qi and felt that she was different from before.

Lu Qi’s gaze was so sharp that it was as if she could see through all of their conspiracies and schemes. Doctor Qin was so nervous that he secretly rubbed his hands and made plans. It seemed that he should have less contact with Lu Wei and Lu Nuannuan in the future!

If he wanted to keep his job, he absolutely could not let Lu Qi find out that he was colluding with Lu Wei and Lu Nuannuan.

Lu Qi discovered that Doctor Qin was not good at disguising himself. His psychological defense was very weak, and a little probing would give him away.

At this moment, she could confirm that the two boxes of ointment were different. Moreover, the box in her hand was very likely to contain other drugs.

At this moment, Lu Wei came out of the study with a gloomy expression.

Lu Qi took the opportunity to point in the direction of the courtyard and said, “Oh, Lu Nuannuan is back.”

As expected, Doctor Qin turned around to look. Lu Qi quickly took the opportunity to switch the two boxes of ointment with a faint smile on her lips.

In the distance, Mo Chen’s burning gaze fell on Lu Qi, and a smile appeared on his face.

She could feel his gaze looking back at her. Mo Chen shrugged his shoulders and clapped gently as if he saw everything that she did.

Lu Qi frowned in displeasure, but Lu Nuannuan and Lu Wei had already arrived in the living room. She could only suppress her emotions and speak softly, “I don’t plan to pursue the matter of my birthday banquet. As long as Lu Nuannuan can stay away from me in the future and not provoke me again.”

Lu Nuannuan was so angry that she wanted to open her mouth to refute, but Lu Wei glared at her fiercely. She could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

The farce of the birthday party had damaged the Lu family’s reputation and made them the talk of the financial circle. Old Master Lu was furious and scolded Lu Han and Lu Wei, telling them to take care of their daughters.

Lu Nuannuan’s actions had crossed Lu Han’s bottom line. He also threatened Lu Wei harshly, “If you allow Nuannuan to bully Qiqi again, I will never hand over the management rights to you even if I have to sell the company’s shares! At that time, don’t even think about getting a single cent!”

Lu Wei could only vent his anger on Lu Nuannuan because of this threat.

Lu Qi took out the ointment and gently applied it on her red and swollen face. She deliberately pointed at another box, “Lu Nuannuan, you should also take care of your appearance a little. If you walk out of the door with such a messy appearance and let the paparazzi outside take a picture of you, they will definitely write a lot of fake news!”

“The stock price of the Lu Corporation shouldn’t be affected again because of you. Don’t you agree, uncle?”

Lu Qi deliberately repeated what Lu Wei had said when he ran into the ward that day. Lu Wei’s face suddenly turned ugly. He could only clench his teeth and nod his head, indicating for Lu Nuannuan to quickly apply the ointment and leave as soon as possible after the swelling on her face subsided.

Lu Nuannuan dug the ointment with her fingers and gently rubbed it evenly. Her skin absorbed the milky-white ointment.

Two minutes later, Lu Nuannuan’s expression suddenly became anxious. She would occasionally scratch her left face with her hand until she could not stand the itch anymore so she used her long nails to scratch her left face, leaving two bloody marks!

Her manic behavior surprised everyone.

Lu Qi, on the other hand, stared at the red rash on her face and said in a light tone, “Oh no, are you allergic to the ointment? It looks so scary! You have such a beautiful face. Don’t tell me it’s going to be disfigured!”

When Lu Nuannuan and Lu Wei heard her sarcastic remarks, they raised their eyes and glared at her. The father and daughter’s eyes were as vicious as knives.

Lu Wei frowned and looked at Doctor Qin. He squeezed out two sentences from between his teeth and asked, “What’s going on? Is there a problem with this ointment?”

Lu Nuannuan grabbed the ointment box that had fallen to the ground. “What the hell are you applying on me? Is it Lu Qi…”

Lu Qi listened to the conversation between the father and daughter in an emergency and sighed slightly, “Lu Nuannuan, don’t malign me everytime you encounter a problem. Doctor Qin personally handed me my ointment.”

“He specially reserved your portion. When I said that I wanted to help pass it to you, he didn’t trust me and insisted on giving it to you personally!”

Lu Nuannuan covered her face with her hand and screamed. She couldn’t control her emotions and rushed to Doctor Qin. She tugged at his collar and said, “Did you make a deal with Lu Qi? You deliberately targeted me, didn’t you?”

Doctor Qin dodged her gaze in a panic. He shook his head and said, “Ms. Nuannuan, what are you talking about? I don’t even understand!”

Lu Qi looked coldly at the cracks in the trust between them and kindly reminded her, “Lu Nuannuan, you’d better go to the hospital and have a look. You can’t put off the issue with your face. Otherwise, when you get disfigured, how can you rely on your beauty to seduce men?”

“You! Just you wait…”

Lu Nuannuan pointed at her and said fiercely. Then, without stopping for a moment, she rushed out of the Lu family’s villa.
