My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 857: Gu Family’s Hundred Million Compensation

Chapter 857 -857: Gu Family’s Hundred Million Compensation

Qiao Yin couldn’t help but be astonished, “She injured my face, and then she herself got a burn on her face? You wouldn’t be lying to me to prevent me from seeking revenge, would you? How could there be such a coincidence?”

“Why would I lie to you, my mom really burned her face, maybe it was just karma for injuring you.”

Gu Jing’s tone became irritated, “I don’t know what got into her that day, but she insisted on visiting our grandfather’s place. And then somehow, she fell and a pot of boiling water that was nearby spilled onto her face, scalding her. It’s not just her face, she was burned on her body too, but her face was the worst. Now she’s in pain and loses her temper every day, I don’t even want to visit her at the hospital anymore.”

Of course, Qiao Yin didn’t believe in karma. If the world really worked on karma, then there would be no need for police or judges. The real murderer who caused her mother’s death wouldn’t require her to spend time and effort tracking down; they should have gone to hell already.

She could only chalk up Hou Jinhua’s facial burns to coincidence.

Although she didn’t know what kind of state Hou Jinhua was in exactly, Qiao Yin still felt happy inside. Her own revenge was still a long way off, so it was nice to collect a little interest on behalf of her mother.

Of course, that alone wasn’t enough; she needed to find the real murderer and bring him or her to justice, to comfort the soul of her mother.

“Is this the special reason you came to see me today? I heard you’re undergoing systematic training at Old Sir Gu’s place, don’t you have to study today? How come you have time to come to me?”

Gu Jing was exasperated, “Do we have to talk outside? Can’t we talk in your office? There are quite a few people coming and going here, aren’t you afraid of rumors with me? Now that you know we are half-siblings, don’t you care about others gossiping?”

“With my face like this, it’s impossible for me to be the subject of rumors with you, Young Master Gu. Anyone who has eyes and sees my face would know you couldn’t possibly like me, much less gossip about it.”

Indeed, Qiao Yin didn’t care much about rumors. But seeing that Gu Jing wasn’t planning on leaving any time soon, she reluctantly opened the door to her office, “Come in!”

Gu Jing walked into her office and casually sat on the sofa, then began to pull things out of his bag.

“This card is for you, it contains one billion in compensation. Grandfather sent it, he said it’s for your mental damages.”

Qiao Yin was somewhat surprised; the Old Madam had actually made good on her word—she had really compelled Gu Guotai to pay out a full billion in compensation!

Seeing her surprise, Gu Jing couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me you didn’t know about this. Old Madam Lu went to our grandfather for three consecutive days. I witnessed the whole thing; he got scolded for three days and was even getting a bit depressed by the end. What exactly is your relationship with the Lu Family that such a formidable old woman is so biased toward you? I’ve seen that she doesn’t even care as much about her own granddaughter Lu Yan Xi.”

Gu Jing didn’t care about the billion in compensation, but he was extremely curious and eager to know the relationship between Qiao Yin and Old Madam Lu.

Qiao Yin picked up the bank card, feeling a flood of emotion, “The Old Madam is my grandmother. She indeed treats me as her own granddaughter. You don’t need to doubt that.”

Gu Jing couldn’t help but stare at her, “That’s as good as not answering! The Old Madam of the Lu Family wouldn’t treat you like her own granddaughter and be so good to you for no reason!”

“My grandmother saved Old Madam Lu’s life.”

“Is that all? Nothing else?”

“What else do you expect?”

“Although saving a life should definitely be repaid with generosity, it would have been enough for the Old Madam to repay your grandmother. But she treats you like her granddaughter and stands up for you, I always feel there’s something off about it.”

While speaking, Gu Jing began to frown again, feeling he might have overlooked something important.
