After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1219: The Self-Torture Strategy

Clutching her arm in a panic, Donna seemed reluctant to let anyone see her injury, and said somewhat helplessly, "N-nothing."

"Are you alright? Then let me see." As she spoke, Lin Yuqing was about to step forward to check, but Donna panicked even more, hiding her hands behind her back and dodging as she said, "I'm really alright, I just tripped and fell."

Just kidding, how could a collision produce a pattern?

Taking advantage of Donna's momentary lapse in concentration, Lin Yuqing grabbed her arm and pulled it forward, revealing terrifying marks on her fair arm.

God!

It turns out that the injuries on Donna's arm were just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath Donna's long-sleeved clothes, there were many more scars, some new and some old, some bruised and some purple. It's hard to imagine how much suffering Donna must have endured because of these injuries.

Seeing Lin Yuqing's shocked expression, Donna secretly rejoiced, feeling that her suffering had not been in vain! As long as she could gain Lin Yuqing's trust, she would endure any pain!

So far, this self-inflicted injury tactic seems to be quite effective.

Just as Donna was feeling smug, Lin Yuqing carefully examined Donna's injury, frowning deeply, and asked, "Who did this?"

With a darting gaze, Donna said hesitantly, "No one, it was my fault."

"Alright, stop lying. Even if you were careless, you wouldn't be careless to the point of death!"

Lin Yuqing didn't want to believe Donna's words, but Donna's injuries were real. She thought Donna wouldn't fake injuries to fool her; that would be too much of a loss. Besides, Donna was such a proud woman; she wouldn't let others laugh at her. So, considering everything, Donna must have really been beaten. As for who did it…

Looking up at Donna, Lin Yuqing suddenly asked, "Is it Zhang Kaifeng?"

Donna shuddered and looked up at Lin Yuqing in shock. After a moment, she said, "...No, this has nothing to do with Kaifeng."

"Since it's not related, I'll call Kaifeng and tell him about your situation, and let him take charge for you!" With that, Lin Yuqing made a gesture as if to make a phone call.

Donna's face paled, and she reached out to tightly grasp Lin Yuqing's hand, saying, "Don't let Kaifeng know I've come to see you again, or he'll definitely beat me to death!"

Realizing she had let something slip, Donna covered her mouth, her face as white as paper.

Lin Yuqing's complexion wasn't much better.

She knew Zhang Kaifeng was ruthless; if Tang Na bothered him too much, he might just teach her a lesson. But Tang Na was someone she had introduced to Zhang Kaifeng, so being tortured like this made her a culprit in the same way.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuqing felt terrible, as if she had personally pushed Donna into the tiger's den.

Seeing Lin Yuqing's remorseful expression, Donna was secretly delighted, but her tears fell even more profusely, as if she wanted to say something but dared not.

"This Zhang Kaifeng, even if you don't like him, you can't hit him!" Lin Yuqing cursed under her breath, then looked at Tang Na with a resolute expression and said, "Since I introduced you to Zhang Kaifeng, I will resolve this matter for you and won't let you suffer any more grievances!"

Donna looked scared and tugged at Lin Yuqing's clothes, saying, "But... Kaifeng has a very bad temper. I was just being a little cute with him, trying to get his attention, and he got very impatient and... hit me. If he finds out I've been to you, he'll be even angrier!"

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yuqing said, "Although Kaifeng has a bad temper, there are limits. I think if I talk to him about it, it will make him restrain himself. Otherwise, you can't always be bullied!"

Hearing Lin Yuqing's words, Donna felt like she had found a savior. She leaned on Lin Yuqing's shoulder and sobbed, "Yuqing, I'm so wronged! I just like Kaifeng, that's all! What did I do wrong? Why is he treating me like this? If I didn't still want to be with him, I would have told Dad and my brother long ago. They would definitely not let Kaifeng off the hook! Waaah, why can't Kaifeng understand my good intentions!"

Donna cried so hard that Lin Yuqing's shoulder was soaked with sweat in no time.

Lin Yuqing had initially harbored some doubts, but now, seeing Donna's heartbroken state, she believed her. At the same time, she was mentally planning how to talk to Zhang Kaifeng about it.

Meanwhile, Donna, who was hiding in Lin Yuqing's arms, revealed a cunning smile, her delicate expression completely gone.

The two chatted for a while longer. After Lin Yuqing calmed Donna down, Donna left, while Lin Yuqing stood with her arms crossed, staring blankly out the window.

"Mommy, do you really believe what that woman said?"

Before she knew it, her two children were standing behind her. Lin Yuqing turned around and said with a smile, "Little ones, eavesdropping is not a good habit!"

“We weren’t eavesdropping, it was Aunt Donna who was talking too loudly.” Zhenzhen looked up at Lin Yuqing, raised her little hand and said, “Mommy, I want a hug.”

Lin Yuqing bent down and picked up Zhenzhen. She then sat down at the table with the two children and said, "Sit down, Mommy will cut some fruit for you."

Zhenzhen was very happy to hear that there was food, but Xuan'er had a sullen face, as if she was thinking about something.

A short while later, Lin Yuqing came over with a fruit platter, placed it on the table, and smiled at the children, saying, "Come on, have some fruit first!"

She picked up a slice of watermelon, took a bite, and smiled sweetly, saying, "What a sweet watermelon!"

Patting Zhenzhen's cheeks, Lin Yuqing laughed, "Zhenzhen's smile is sweeter than a watermelon!" After saying that, Lin Yuqing looked at Xuan'er and found that Xuan'er was just quietly watching her and hadn't started eating.

Lin Yuqing knew what her son was worried about. She smiled at him, not treating him like a little kid, and said, "My dear Xuan'er, what are you worried about?"

"I'm thinking, Mommy, you already believe what Aunt Donna said, right?"

Lin Yuqing smiled slightly, her eyebrows lowered, and said, "What, Xuan'er doesn't believe me?"

"Before the matter is fully investigated, I don't think we can completely trust anyone's words. Mommy, why don't you call Uncle Kaifeng first and find out from the side?"

Call Zhang Kaifeng...

Thinking about this, Lin Yuqing felt uneasy. She had told Zhang Kaifeng firmly that she wouldn't contact him again, and now she was going to take the initiative to contact him… But if she didn't contact him, Lin Yuqing wouldn't know whether Tang Na was telling the truth or not…

Ugh, this is such a hassle!

Seeing Lin Yuqing's worried face, Zhenzhen quickly handed her a slice of watermelon and said, "Mommy, don't frown. Smile and you'll have good luck!"
