"Look, you're afraid that I'll be wronged, but you're willing to sacrifice yourself for me. But Lu Man doesn't care if I'm wronged or upset. She still has the cheek to blame me for being biased? "Lu Qiyuan was touched by Lu Qi's sensibility, but he was also angry at Lu Man's disregard for family ties.
"Dad, don't say that. I think Sister is just unhappy that you've treated me well all these years. Before I came to the family, she was the princess of the Lu family, your only daughter, and she enjoyed your exclusive love. But now that I'm here, I've taken away your love. She's unhappy and feels that I've stolen her position. It's understandable. "Lu Qi seemed to be comforting him, but she was actually making things difficult for Lu Man and adding fuel to the fire for Lu Qiyuan.
"Hmph! You said it yourself. Before you came, she already enjoyed so much love as an only daughter. So what if I share some of it with you? She's already been doted on for so many years and has enjoyed so much more than you as a daughter of the Lu family. What's there for her to be unhappy about? You've suffered so much, so I should treat you better. She doesn't even understand such simple logic. To put it bluntly, she's selfish and cold-hearted. Just like this time, she refused to help you no matter what! "The more Lu Qiyuan spoke, the angrier he became.
Should he say Lu Qiyuan was stupid?
He wasn't stupid.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have developed such a huge family business.
No matter how big or small a business was, if you didn't have the ability, you wouldn't be able to make money and would only lose money.
For Lu Qiyuan to be able to develop the Lu family to this extent, he definitely wasn't stupid. Otherwise, he would have been cheated long ago.
But even if a person was smart in business, they might not be smart in all aspects.
Needless to say, Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi were used to pretending. Over the years, they had been constantly trying to brainwash Lu Qiyuan and Lu Man in front of Lu Qiyuan.
In the past, Lu Man wasn't someone who was good at hiding her true nature. She was easily angered by Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi. Since she didn't know Lu Qi's true identity, she kept saying that Lu Qiyuan was unfair, which was exactly what Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi wanted.
No matter what the matter was, it couldn't withstand people taking turns to talk about it for a few years.
"Qiqi, don't do anything stupid. Dad won't watch you go to jail," Lu Qiyuan said.
"Dad," Lu Qi was touched and looked at Lu Qiyuan. "Dad, I'm so lucky to have you. You're so nice."
Lu Man would never say such things to him with such admiration. Only Lu Qi would do that.
Lu Qiyuan was gratified by his youngest daughter's thoughtfulness, and his expression softened.
***
Lu Man didn't know that Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi were trying to make her look bad again. Even if she did, she wouldn't have cared.
After all, she was used to it after so many years, so it wasn't strange.
Lu Man's mind was filled with Han Zhuoli. She really didn't know what that man wanted.
Did he not take her seriously? Did he not know what respect was and kiss her as soon as he came up?
Annoyed, Lu Man thought, could it be that when they first met, she had taken off her clothes and only had a towel wrapped around her. She even took the initiative to lean into Han Zhouli's embrace and kiss him, so that left him with the impression that she had no self-respect and thus made him think that he could treat her as he wished?
Lu Man lay on her side next to Xia Qingwei's bed on a makeshift foldable bed. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It wasn't until dawn that Lu Man decided not to think about it. After all, if she returned the money to Han Zhuoli, she wouldn't have the chance to see him again.
Even if she returned the money, it would be through Alipay. They wouldn't even see each other.
