The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 19 - 0: Wouldn’t That Be Worse Than Death

Lu Jinghan appeared in the ward just in time, placing one hand protectively behind Han Xi, and the other hand clamped onto Ji Qing’s raised wrist. His deep, dark eyes glinted coldly, "What are you doing?"

Locking eyes with Lu Jinghan’s fierce gaze, Ji Qing felt a chilling sensation run up her spine. Despite a bit of fear in her heart, she still maintained a composed demeanor, "Jinghan, this woman seduced your brother and even framed him. Don’t you think she deserves a good lesson?"

Lu Jinghan’s lips curled into a faint, indistinct smile, his voice sharp, "Are you sure it’s not Lu Jingchen playing... hooligan?"

Ji Qing paused, her face turning a dreadful shade of gray, "Jinghan, we are family. How can you side with outsiders? I heard your brother was beaten up by people she found and is now covered in injuries, still at the police station."

"Yes, I know."

Lu Qing An finally understood; it was Lu Jinghan backing this woman, no wonder even Director Li didn’t give him any face.

Han Xi looked down at Lu Jinghan holding her hand, with a faint smile on her lips. Fortunately, not everyone in the Lu Family was a complete bastard.

"Doctor Han is my lifesaver, so if any of you dare to harm her in the slightest, you are going against me."

Lu Jinghan released Ji Qing’s hand, his deep voice carrying a blatant warning.

"So is your brother just supposed to take the beating without retaliation?" Ji Qing retorted, unwilling to relent.

"I think he was let off easy. If he dares to touch Doctor Han again, I guarantee he will suffer ten thousand times more than this."

That would be worse than death.

Lu Qing An’s hand, stuffed in his pants pocket, had already clenched into a fist. If it weren’t for the power of the Lu Group being in Lu Jinghan’s hands, he wouldn’t be afraid of this brat.

"Jinghan, your brother is still locked up at the police station. When will you call Director Li to release him? We’ll also compensate Doctor Han."

"Those who commit wrongs must face consequences. If even Uncle couldn’t resolve this, how could I? Director Li won’t release Lu Jingchen just because of a phone call from me. That would be disregarding the law."

The implication of Lu Jinghan’s words was that he wouldn’t make that call, and he was already aware that Lu Qing An had approached Director Li. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

After seeing them leave the ward, Ji Qing slumped on the sofa in tears. The thought of her son having to stay in jail for ten days or half a month filled her with unbearable sorrow.

Lu Qing An, annoyed by her crying, snapped, "Alright, stop crying. It’s all thanks to your good upbringing of your son."

.......

In the corridor, Han Xi withdrew her hand from Lu Jinghan’s palm, tucking the strands of hair on the side of her face behind her ear, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, just now."

Before Lu Jinghan could respond, a voice came from the end of the corridor, growing louder as it approached, "Jinghan, I heard you got hurt. Is it serious?"

Han Xi looked over to see a woman in a long dress and trench coat, walking towards them in high heels. Her slightly curled long hair was tucked behind her ears, and her meticulously applied makeup highlighted her perfectly standard features, undoubtedly making her a goddess.

Lu Jinghan’s gaze turned profound as he looked at Fu Bin standing beside Lin Weiyang, who wore an expression of helplessness, as if forced into a pitiful situation.

Lin Weiyang paused beside Lu Jinghan, tilting her head up, her red lips curving into a gentle smile, "Does the wound still hurt? I personally made you some soup."

There was no ripple on Lu Jinghan’s calm face, his tone indifferent, "I’m fine now."
