Chapter 62: The glorious shell seems about to be torn apart
(Extra 16)
Walking quickly towards the hospital, Leng Qing Qiu soon arrived at the hospital hall.
Looking around the hall, it was no different from her last visit, but coming earlier this time, it was even brighter.
The quiet hospital had some human scent, which made it look much better.
The air was still filled with the faint smell of disinfectant that Leng Qing Qiu disliked.
The nurse she had hired was still on duty in the hall.
Speaking of which, what was her name? Leng Qing Qiu couldn’t quite remember, but there was no need to remember such a minor character clearly.
Over the past two weeks, Leng Qing Qiu had tried to understand her family’s past business more, attempting to examine her family’s company employees from the perspective of senior management, as well as the tables covered with various data.
Of course, she had also seen the perilous business wars her parents had fought when they were in charge of the company, where one wrong step would lead to an abyss.
With a change in perspective, Leng Qing Qiu had undergone some changes. Of course, she hadn’t truly become the helmswoman, and the changes weren’t significant, only making her no longer so naive.
“…”
Silently walking to the counter, Leng Qing Qiu tapped on the tempered glass.
She tried to ask a question, but stumbled a bit because she had forgotten the nurse’s name.
“Um, my name is Tao Xiaohong.”
In the awkwardness, the nurse saw Leng Qing Qiu’s difficulty.
She didn’t feel embarrassed about her name being forgotten, after all, Leng Qing Qiu had given her a lot of money. It was normal for important people to forget things.
Thinking this, Tao Xiaohong’s face broke out in a fawning smile.
“Oh, Tao Xiaohong, I remember now. I asked you to keep an eye on Zhiyin. How has she been lately?”
Without immediately rushing to find Lu Zhiyin herself, Leng Qing Qiu first inquired about Lu Zhiyin’s recent situation.
Her question stumped the nurse.
“Uh, uh… this… Miss…”
“Why are you hesitating? Has she been mistreated?”
Frowning, Leng Qing Qiu looked at Tao Xiaohong in front of her and felt that this woman was incompetent.
She had taken her money, so she should do the job properly. Why couldn’t she even answer a question smoothly now?
Leng Qing Qiu subconsciously treated the nurse as an employee of her own company.
The inability to quickly switch from life to work was also a sign of Leng Qing Qiu’s immaturity.
“Ha…”
Fine sweat beaded on the nurse’s forehead, and she wiped the sweat away with her sleeve.
She really didn’t understand why this woman, who was a naive rich young lady two weeks ago, now carried an oppressive aura that came with being in a high position.
The nurse felt like she couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t understand how Leng Qing Qiu could have changed so much in just two weeks.
Gritting her teeth, she thought that since the person in question had arrived, she didn’t need to hide anything anymore. So, she stepped out from behind the tempered glass.
“Not exactly, Miss Zhiyin hasn’t been mistreated, it’s just…”
Even though the nurse had prepared herself mentally, she still found it difficult to say, fearing that the benefactor in front of her would devour her alive.
“…Just what?”
Leng Qing Qiu knitted her brows even deeper, her dissatisfaction growing.
“…Never mind, you can see for yourself.”
Glancing around and confirming that no one was there, the nurse pulled Leng Qing Qiu behind the tempered glass and took out her phone.
Her phone was very plain, and although old, it had no scratches. Of course, the content on the phone was more attractive to Leng Qing Qiu than the phone itself.
In the nurse’s photo album were videos of varying lengths, and the protagonist of these videos was Lu Zhiyin herself.
She clicked on one of them, and as soon as the video started, a seductive gasp came out.
Leng Qing Qiu froze.
Her hands clenched slowly. She could recognize the owner of the gasp, it was Lu Zhiyin, her only light.
The girl’s gasps made Leng Qing Qiu’s cheeks slightly flush, and a stream of heat rushed from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head.
She felt a shameful reaction because of Lu Zhiyin’s voice.
Leng Qing Qiu had to admit that she did have sexual fantasies about Lu Zhiyin, but she dared not face these shameful thoughts.
Lu Zhiyin was her light, her salvation. It was Lu Zhiyin who pulled her out of the abyss.
In Leng Qing Qiu’s eyes, Lu Zhiyin should be pure and untainted, purer than an angel.
“…”
Without a word, Leng Qing Qiu dazed took the nurse’s phone and scrolled through them one by one.
She saw how Lu Zhiyin satisfied Leng Qing Qiu’s needs by being on top of that scoundrel Leng Qing Qiu, how Lu Zhiyin’s face turned red from Leng Qing Qiu’s fingers, and how Lu Zhiyin kissed Leng Qing Qiu every morning.
The pure image of the girl in her heart began to crack.
Leng Qing Qiu’s legs gave way, and she fell to the ground.
“Miss, Miss? Are you alright?”
The nurse, standing by, was flustered. She didn’t understand why Leng Qing Qiu suddenly fell to the ground as if she had lost her soul.
Just as she was about to call a doctor to rescue Leng Qing Qiu, Leng Qing Qiu waved her hand.
She shakily got to her feet.
Looking at the videos on the phone, Leng Qing Qiu’s chest was filled mostly with anger towards Leng Qing Qiu.
And a small part was filled with indescribable emotions towards Lu Zhiyin.
She began to fantasize. What if she were the one on top of Lu Zhiyin instead of Leng Qing Qiu? What if she were the one hugging and kissing Lu Zhiyin instead of Leng Qing Qiu?
Lu Zhiyin probably wouldn’t submit to her.
But why? She treated Lu Zhiyin much better than Leng Qing Qiu.
Leng Qing Qiu could no longer tell herself that Lu Zhiyin was forced, because in the videos, she couldn’t see any signs of Lu Zhiyin resisting.
Why did Lu Zhiyin always endure abuse from that scoundrel Leng Qing Qiu and still choose to stay by her side, even willing to do such things, rather than coming to her?
A myriad of questions piled up in her heart, and Leng Qing Qiu felt like she couldn’t breathe.
With a slight click, Lu Zhiyin’s pure image in Leng Qing Qiu’s heart shattered.
She was still the salvation that rescued Leng Qing Qiu from the abyss, but she was no longer so pure and untainted.
A hot tear rolled down her cheek and landed on her hand. Leng Qing Qiu licked off her bitter tears and only calmed down after a while.
“…Hoo…”
Exhaling a long breath, Leng Qing Qiu wiped the corners of her eyes. She sent all the videos to herself and then threw the phone back to the nurse.
“Tao Xiaohong, delete all the videos, and then, no matter how you filmed them, I don’t want to see any new videos appear.”
With that, Leng Qing Qiu threw another stack of banknotes at the nurse.
Then, she walked towards the ward room she remembered Lu Zhiyin’s being in.
No matter what questions she had, she would ask her directly.
Thinking this, Leng Qing Qiu quickened her pace, clenching her fingers so tightly that her fingernails pierced her palm, drawing out some crimson blood.
