Her sincere apology made Lu Yanxi feel instantly fond of her.
“Second Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We’re all family, you don’t need to say sorry. I was indeed rash yesterday, but I’m more than glad that you’re willing to save face and come to work with me!”
Old Madam was still concerned about her injury:”Yinyin, let me have a look at your back, has the injury healed?”
“It’s all better, Grandma, don’t worry, I had my grandmother’s medicine, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
The Old Madam, still not convinced, insisted on lifting the back of her clothing to check the wound herself.
There was only a faint pink mark left on her fair and delicate back, it had indeed almost healed.
Lu Yanxi watched in astonishment: “Everyone outside has been saying that Second Sister-in-law was beaten half to death, you recovered so quickly? Second Sister-in-law, your back is so beautiful, it’s a relief that there are no scars, that would’ve been a real shame! But what kind of medicine did you use? It’s impressive!”
Qiao Yin was momentarily startled, did everyone outside know about Madam Lu beating her up?
It seemed that Madam Lu really couldn’t keep the mouths of the servants at home under control.
She took a light breath and said to Lu Yanxi: “This is my grandmother’s secret family recipe for an ointment to heal injuries. I’ll give you a bottle later, it’s very effective for bruises and injuries, it can also be handy for life-threatening wounds as it can stop bleeding and heal wounds quickly. Of course, I hope you won’t have to use it.”
Lu Yanxi was pleasantly surprised: “Thank you, Second Sister-in-law! I’ve long heard that your grandmother is a divine healer, now I’ll have her medicine, I’m so lucky!”
Seeing that the two were getting along well, Old Madam advised: “Yinyin, you and Yanxi are about the same age, you should get along and you can spend more time together in the future.”
With the Old Madam making an introduction, Qiao Yin put down her guard and put on a smile: “Of course, Grandma.”
Then, she quickly confirmed the details of the work with Lu Yanxi.
As per Lu Yanxi, the auction house’s work was generally idle, and only busy when holding auctions.
Fortunately, Dongfang Mu didn’t require her to work full shifts every day, the timings didn’t conflict.
Because she was new to this, the salary Lu Yanxi offered was not very high.
However, Qiao Yin didn’t mind, she was happy to have the valuable chance to learn more and expand her social circle.
At noon, she, Lu Yanxi and the Old Madam had lunch together, then the Old Madam left.
She started to get familiar with the work guided by Lu Yanxi.
Lu Yanxi clearly didn’t treat her like an outsider, she began to teach her from the basics and did not hold anything back.
In the evening, after their work, Lu Yanxi took Qiao Yin out for dinner at a nearby restaurant.
While waiting for their meal, Lu Yanxi casually scrolled through the news and exclaimed: “Second Sister-in-law, you and Second Brother are trending!”
Qiao Yin was surprised, she leaned her head in and saw that she had been photographed with Lu Lingche on the beach the day before.
He indeed carries controversy wherever he goes, they managed to get photographed there.
Many comments in the comments section guessed at her identity, where some said she was Lu Lingche’s wife, others guessed she was his lover, while few referred to her as Lu Lingche’s sister.
Lu Yanxi, his real sister, was so upset she slammed the table: “These people have no idea what I look like, they are talking nonsense! And who would be that intimate with a sister?”
The angle of the photo was quite tricky, Qiao Yin seemed almost embraced in Lu Lingche’s arms, with the sea and beach as their backdrop, it carried a sweet and romantic vibe.
But only Qiao Yin knew the reality.
The sweet romantic vibe was all an illusion, created by the public’s imagination, she and Lu Lingche were at each other’s throats during that moment.
In front of Lu Yanxi, who was in the know, Qiao Yin did not hide: “It’s an issue of perspective, we were not intimate. My relationship with Lu Lingche is already in a bad state, I got unemployed because of him and went to the beach to vent on my own, and he was there to get me to sign the Divorce Agreement..”
