My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 1271: Death is too obvious, maiming will do

In the CEO’s office of Shengling Group, the silence was so deep you could hear a pin drop.

After Qiao Yin and Lu Lingche had left, Lu Shengqing had been sitting motionless in his wheelchair, silent and still.

Yao Guang, watching him in this state, felt an inexplicable sense of fear rising within him.

The always amiable and approachable Lu Shengqing now seemed to be filled with hostility.

Yao Guang didn’t know if it was the scars on his face that made him look fierce or if he really was that terrifying. He didn’t dare to wipe away the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, enduring the severe pain in his abdomen and back as he knelt before him.

"Cousin, I know I was wrong. This time... I didn’t expect to be recorded. I will be careful in the future, please forgive me just this once."

It took a long while for Lu Shengqing to slowly speak, "Yao Guang, even I couldn’t bring myself to speak harshly to Qiao Yin, yet you dared to say such filthy things to her, and under my name?"

"I was wrong, Cousin, I really was. I’m just used to speaking without restraint. I thought... by intimidating her a little, she would comply. All the other girls did. I’ve always used this method..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Shengqing immediately rebuked him, "Don’t ever say such things again!"

"Yes, Cousin, I won’t say them again."

Yao Guang kept his head low as he knelt there, appearing utterly submissive, a stark contrast to his attitude in front of Qiao Yin.

Time passed before Lu Shengqing’s demeanor softened, "Alright, get up now. That kick from Lingche must’ve not been light. Go get checked out at the hospital, and the company will reimburse you later."

Yao Guang was both shocked and delighted, "Cousin, you... you’re not mad at me?"

"What good does it do me to be angry with you? That’s just the way you are. You talk tough, but deep down, you’re good at heart. Just be more careful in the future."

Yao Guang nearly kowtowed in gratitude, "Cousin, you truly are the kindest person in the world! I thought you would fire me. Rest assured, Cousin, from now on I will definitely heed your words. I will serve you wholeheartedly, doing whatever you ask of me!"

Lu Shengqing nodded and personally helped him up a little, "Stand up. What are you kneeling for? I’m not the emperor."

Yao Guang stood up, flattered yet not daring to really be assisted by him, "In my heart, Cousin, you are the true emperor. Only kneeling can show my sincerity. Not just me, but others should kneel too. It’s a pity we aren’t in ancient times, otherwise, Cousin, you would certainly be a wise monarch, the greatest emperor!"

"Enough, stop the flattery," Lu Shengqing said a bit helplessly, then asked with concern, "What’s with your face? You’ve been scratching it since earlier, and even as it bleeds you keep scratching. Can’t you feel the pain? If you keep going like this, you’ll ruin your face."

Yao Guang had indeed been enduring the pain and intense itching on his face; now that Lu Shengqing had mentioned it, the sensation became even more unbearable.

He scratched his face fiercely, irritated, "I don’t know what’s wrong with it. It’s just so itchy, like it’s reaching my bones. I can’t control myself; I always want to scratch."

"Is it because of an injury?"

"I’m not sure, but the itching did start after getting injured."

Lu Shengqing contemplated thoughtfully, then said amiably, "Go to the hospital and get it checked out. I’ll give you three days off. Rest at home for a few days, and come back to work after you’ve recovered."

"Okay, thank you, Cousin. I’ll be leaving now."

Lu Shengqing nodded and watched him leave, scratching his face hard all the while, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

To itch so uncontrollably, it surely wasn’t a mere coincidence.

He flashed back to Qiao Yin’s beautiful and cold face, then shook his head.

Now alone in the office, he picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Take care of Yao Guang. I don’t want to see this person ever again."

"Should we kill him?"

"No need. It’d be too obvious if he died. Just cripple him."

"Understood."

"Find me another assistant too, from the Yao Family again. This time, get someone smarter. Don’t bring me another fool like Yao Guang."

"Yes."
