I Trust Her

Lu Ming stormed back to the Lu mansion, his face dark with rage.

The moment he stepped inside, he heard Grandpa Lu's stern voice scolding him.

"Why are you so restless?! No rules or manners at all!"

Lu Ming didn't waste time on formalities and went straight to the point.

"Grandpa, why won't you let me divorce Gu Ling?"

"You know I don't like her!"

"Now, not only me—she doesn't like me either!"

Grandpa Lu sighed heavily, looking troubled.

"Hey, I'm doing this for your own good…"

"For my own good?!" Lu Ming clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"I, Lu Ming, the president of the Lu Group, am actually tied to a lowly woman like Gu Ling?"

"She's not worthy! She's just a useless waste—how could she ever deserve me?!"

Before he could say another word—

"You bastard!"

Grandpa Lu's face turned blue with anger.

He slammed his cane against the floor and roared at Lu Ming, his voice booming through the hall.

"I absolutely disagree with this!"

"You don't need to think about it anymore! Do you hear me?!"

His firm attitude left Lu Ming speechless. His jaw tightened, and he clenched his fists even harder.

Seeing his grandson's suppressed fury, Grandpa Lu shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"There are many things you don't understand yet…"

"Xiao Ling is a good girl. You should treat her well!"

"In the future, you will understand Grandpa's good intentions…"

The conversation ended in a stalemate.

Lu Ming left in frustration, but Grandpa Lu remained seated, closing his eyes in thought.

After a long silence, he hesitated.

Finally, he reached for his phone and dialed a long-unused number…

On the Other Side

At the hospital.

"Third Master, did you take the medicine last night?"

Qin Yu stood beside the bed, watching Lu Lingxiao carefully.

"Did anything unusual happen to your body? Any discomfort?"

Last night, after returning, Qin Yu had personally handed over the medicine to Third Master.

He had then stayed outside all night, standing guard.

He had even prepared himself for the worst-case scenario—what if the medicine was poisonous?

Thinking about the moment Third Master took it, Lu Lingxiao's gaze flickered.

That woman…

His thin lips curled up slightly.

"The effect is pretty good."

Qin Yu's eyes widened in shock.

"D-Do you mean…?"

Could it be…?

That old illness that flared up every night—had it been relieved?!

What kind of medicine worked this fast?!

Qin Yu's mind spun as he processed the unbelievable news.

And then, he heard Lu Lingxiao's voice again.

"Last night, it didn't flare up."

It didn't flare up?!

For a moment, Qin Yu felt like someone had smacked him in the forehead.

He froze.

Completely stunned.

He could barely believe his own ears!

This old illness had plagued Third Master for years.

They had tried countless medicines.

But none of them had ever worked.

Yet now, after taking the medicine from Gu Ling—

The illness was completely gone?!

Not only was the effect powerful—but it worked instantly!

"This is insane!"

Qin Yu's heart pounded with disbelief.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to mutter, "Hehe… I didn't expect that woman to be this capable."

To be able to create such a medicine—it was truly impressive.

But…

Did she really develop it herself?

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.

Maybe she just got lucky and found a prescription by accident?

Either way, he still had no good impression of Gu Ling.

"Third Master… The medicine works so fast. What if there are side effects?"

"Maybe I should…"

Check again.

Qin Yu frowned.

He had already gone to the alchemist yesterday, but he was still worried.

Before he could finish his sentence—

"No need."

Lu Lingxiao interrupted him without hesitation.

His deep, icy voice was calm but firm.

"I trust her."
