Lu Yi's face was pale, and there were abrasions on his cheeks. Although they had scabbed over, you could still tell how terrible he looked back then.

Du Guanglong supported him gently, intentionally keeping his body away from his waist.

Huo Jingxi walked ahead, reminding him to watch his step.

Lu Yi stepped into the living room with obvious difficulty.

Lu Baofei had only heard that Lu Yi had suffered some minor injuries, but she never expected that seeing him today would make her realize the severity of those injuries.

Those people, how dare they hurt him like that!

Sunlight streamed into the living room, making it warm and cozy.

A gust of wind blew in from outside the window, and Lu Yi's lips trembled slightly as he couldn't help but cough a few times.

"Uncle Hua, please close all the windows, and also turn up the underfloor heating!"

Huo Jingxi gave instructions to the people in the courtyard.

Lu Baofei then realized that the reason why the living room felt so comfortable was because the underfloor heating had been turned on early in the morning.

“Yi’er…”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Baofei's forehead, her hands clutching the unknown fear, her throat so dry that she could not utter a smooth sound.

"No need for me to introduce you. This Miss Lu came to visit you early this morning. Father was worried that it would affect your classes, so he asked me to stay with her for a while!"

"Oh, right, and Mrs. Lu... Mrs. Lu..."

As Huo Jingxi spoke, he moved a tall chair over.

Du Guanglong picked up a soft cushion from the sofa and placed it on top.

Just as they were about to help Lu Yi sit down, a powerful impact slammed him against the back of the chair, causing Lu Yi to stumble back several steps.

Fortunately, Huo Jingxi reacted quickly and reached out to support Lu Yi's shoulder, thus stabilizing him.

"Yi'er, my child, your life is so bitter!"

Before anyone could react, Qin Fengying threw herself on Lu Yi, clutching his sweater and wailing.

Lu Baofei held her breath, her heart filled with mixed feelings, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.

She never intended to harm Lu Yi to this extent.

But Lu Yi's current situation is entirely due to her messy actions.

What troubles her even more is that she still doesn't know who used her to take Lu Yi's life!

The men in front of me were in complete disarray.

Butler Hua and Du Guanglong pulled at Qin Fengying, while Huo Jingxi tried his best to protect Lu Yi and pushed Qin Fengying's arm away.

Lu Baofei's heart was pounding. She bit her lower lip hard, trying to replace this indescribable anxiety and fear with physical pain.

"Lu Baofei, what are you waiting for? Get her out of here!"

Enraged, Du Guanglong struck Qin Fengying's arm hard with his palm, causing her to finally release Lu Yi in pain.

Butler Hua is getting on in years.

Adding to the fact that Qin Fengying was even harder to control than a wild boar when she threw a tantrum, she grabbed at him haphazardly a few times, and the housekeeper Hua fell to the ground.

"Is this how the Huo family treats its guests?"

"I've come to see my son, Yi'er... Yi'er, I haven't stopped worrying about you for a single day since I heard you were injured!"

Du Guanglong's broad shoulders were like a wall, preventing her from getting any closer to Lu Yi.

"Madam Lu, you know your son is injured? Do you know how much pain he must be in from that collision?"

Despite Qin Fengying scratching wildly on his back, Du Guanglong still protected Lu Yi behind him, not letting her touch a single finger of Lu Yi.

"Madam Lu, if you continue like this, then I'm sorry, the Huo family will have to resort to our own special hospitality!"

After confirming that Lu Yi was alright, Huo Jingxi stood side by side with Du Guanglong, his face cold.

Lu Baofei came to Qin Fengying's side and glared at her angrily, "Mom, what are you up to now? Can't you see that Yi'er is still very weak?"

She dared not look into Lu Yi's eyes.

They were afraid that they might accidentally expose themselves as the culprit.

Although she did not instruct those people to do this, unless the real culprit comes forward to claim responsibility, she is destined to take the blame!

"Who could be so cruel as to harm my son!"

"Has your Huo family investigated for so many days without finding any clues?"

"If you find out, you must tell me. I'll risk my life to avenge my son!"

After Qin Fengying finished speaking, she stopped making a fuss and silently shed tears.

Cough cough!

Lu Baofei's eyes darted around, her palms damp.

If her parents find out that she's the one who caused this, she probably won't be able to stay in the Lu family anymore!

Huo Jingxi glanced at her secretly, then stared at Lu Yi for a few seconds.

He chuckled lightly, "Mrs. Lu, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we haven't found anything so far, but..."

He paused, his meaningful gaze lingering on Lu Baofei's face.

Just then, Lu Baofei pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Feeling his gaze, she subconsciously tightened her grip on Qin Fengying's arm.

Qin Fengying thought she was sad for Lu Yi.

He reached out and patted the back of her hand, then let out a long sigh.

"Consort Bao, you can't stand idly by in this matter. If they can harm Yi'er today, they might harm you one day!"

She looked at Lu Yi with guilt, "Yi'er, don't worry, I've discussed it with your father. We haven't done anything for you before."

“But this time, we won’t pretend we didn’t see it and leave you to face it alone, Jingxi, from what you’re saying…”

Qin Fengying suddenly became serious.

Even Lu Baofei was confused by her, unable to tell whether her loss of composure was due to excessive emotion or intentional.

"Since Madam Lu wants to know the details, why don't we sit down and talk about it?"

Huo Jingxi politely raised his hand.

Butler Xiang Hua winked and said, "Prepare more tea and snacks. Madam Lu and Miss Lu have come all the way here and probably haven't had breakfast yet."
