My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce
Chapter 1124 - 1124 1124 Seeking Medicine

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: Seeking Medicine Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: Seeking Medicine Qiao Yin knew he must be biased toward Gu Ranmo as she slightly lowered her lashes, “Yes, you’re right.”

Help? The idea that Gu Ranmo would help her was a joke! It was already kind of her not to trip her up!

Unaware of Qiao Yin’s true feelings, Gu Chengqiao felt quite satisfied seeing her so obedient and compliant.

“There’s another matter I hope you can help with.”

“What is it?”

“Jinhua is now your mother in name as well, and her face has been scorched. It has never healed properly. Could you see if there’s a way to help her remove the scars? When she goes out, she also represents our face, and it’s not good to let her appearance be so frightening.”

Qiao Yin realized what was happening. It seemed that Gu Chengqiao’s call for her to the study, and all the earlier talk, were just a prelude. This last request was the main issue.

His real purpose was to ask her to help Hou Jinhua recover her beauty.

“Scars from burns are some of the hardest to remove, and I don’t really have any good methods for that.”

“Are you sure you have no way? Your grandmother’s medical skills seem quite extraordinary, and I know the Shen Family has been imperial physicians for generations, there must be some secret formulas that aren’t shared, right?”

Qiao Yin spoke indifferently, “There are indeed some secret formulas, but they’re of no help to Madam’s current condition.”

Although the ointment for removing scars from her grandmother’s family was difficult to make, it wasn’t really a secret. Still, Gu Chengqiao unexpectedly didn’t know about the existence of this ointment, which was enough to show that his relationship with her mother hadn’t been good.

Otherwise, her mother would certainly have mentioned this ointment to him.

“You’ve seen it yourself, the scars on my face haven’t been removed either. If I had good scar-removing ointment, I would have used it on myself long ago.”

Gu Chengqiao stared at her face for a while, “But your scars have improved a lot compared to before, which shows that the ointment you’re using works. Why not give it a try for her?”

“The wounds on my face aren’t burns, they’re scratches made by your wife. You haven’t forgotten, have you? The scars aren’t the same type, and the medication that works for me won’t work for her.”

“Never mind whether it works or not, just take it home, let her use it. If it works, that’s great; if not, it’s no loss.”

Seeing his insistence on the medicine, Qiao Yin nodded, “Okay, I’ll make some for her tomorrow!”

Gu Chengqiao, seeing her finally agree, smiled with relief, “You’re forgiving and generous in helping her despite past grudges, repaying evil with kindness. That’s very good, worthy of being Gu Chengqiao’s daughter.”

In the face of his praise, Qiao Yin merely proffered a forced smile as a response, with no real emotion inside.

Of course, she would not really make ointment for Hou Jinhua. Not to mention that she had none of the necessary herbs at the moment, but considering the enmity between her and Hou Jinhua, she wouldn’t want to help her!

Hou Jinhua’s inexplicable disfigurement was a pleasure she barely had time to enjoy. How could she possibly help her recover her beauty?

She might as well stay ugly like that!

Besides, even if she did give Hou Jinhua an effective scar-removing ointment, would she dare to use it? She’s likely to accept it to her face, then throw it away behind her back!

“Alright, that’s all for now. Tomorrow you will go out with your elder sister, she will take you to select a dress. You can also buy a pair of shoes, maybe some accessories, too. You’re too plain as you are now.”

Qiao Yin indeed rarely wore jewelry, usually only wearing a watch to tell the time; the rest didn’t matter to her.

“There’s no need for jewelry, I’m fine the way I am.”

Shoes did indeed need to be bought to go with the dress, as her own shoes were chosen for comfort and didn’t match formal wear.

“If you really don’t want to pick out jewelry, then take this box with you. Try to match it up tomorrow, don’t be too plain.”

As he spoke, Gu Chengqiao took out a box from the drawer and handed it to Qiao Yin.

Qiao Yin recognized the box. It was the same collection of jewelry that Gu Chengqiao had given her before, which she had returned to him after being scratched by Hou Jinhua.

She hadn’t expected that the box of jewelry would come back to her again.

“Go on, get some rest. You must be tired from the day, and I’m a bit tired myself.”

But Qiao Yin didn’t leave. Clutching the box, she looked up at Gu Chengqiao, “There’s something I want to ask you. I hope you can answer me honestly.”

Gu Chengqiao was somewhat surprised, “What do you want to ask?”

“My mother’s death, was it related to you?”
