Chapter 24: Who Hasn't Met a B*stard or Two?
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Qi's face instantly changed. What she hated the most was Lu Man talking about her identity as a step-daughter.
As soon as she had started understanding things and even before Xia Qingyang had married into the Lu family, she already knew that Lu Qiyuan was her father.
Yet Lu Man always wanted to remind her that she was just a step-daughter and had no relation with Lu Qiyuan at all.
Thus Lu Qi felt that life was unfair. Even though she and Lu Man were of the same status, why was it that she had to be looked down on, why couldn't she let everyone know that she was also a legitimate Lu family daughter?
Yet Lu Man would pierce her heart again and again.
Lu Man saw Lu Qi's face and knew that she was very angry.
But she would not say that in front of Lu Qiyuan.
As now, she knew that the more she said that, the more Lu Qiyuan would feel pity for Lu Qi.
But as long as Lu Qiyuan was not present, Lu Man did not mind purposely stabbing at Lu Qi's weak spot.
Thus the more Lu Qi cared for something, the more Lu Man will talk about it.
"Lu Man, don't say it like that. Qi Qi did not do anything wrong. It was just that we weren't suitable," He Zhengbai frowned and said.
"What I have said may not have sounded nice, but I am much better than you. You say nice things but your actions are disgusting," Lu Man smiled widely at Lu Qi, "You probably don't know right? When He Zhengbai was together with me, he used to say that you did not know your place, even though you're just a step-daughter, yet you keep competing with me in every way, who do you think you are? I guess that when he's with you, he probably talks badly of me? He probably says that I can't compete with you in any way, also besides for the fact that I'm a daughter of the Lu family, I have no other positive traits?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" He Zhengbai hurriedly told Lu Qi, "Qi Qi, don't listen to her nonsense."
However, Lu Man smiled without care and continued speaking, "Valentine's Day last year, you said that you were busy with work and couldn't spend it with me. But the truth is that you had gone to spend it with Lu Qi and even bought a pair of bracelets from the C brand, giving her one and keeping one for yourself. Carved on the inside of the bracelet are your shortened names and the day you professed your love to each other. Do you want to know how I know? It's because I've seen the inside of your bracelet."
In reality, Lu Man had actually never seen it before. She had not known about it even till she had been imprisoned.
It was only after she had been released that Lu Qi had purposely come to her to boast about it.
"I just don't understand, why won't the two of you learn? Why must both of you purposely leave some evidence on such things? Does it mean that if you don't engrave such words, you don't love each other?" Lu Man mocked them.
Seeing Lu Qi's face darken, Lu Man said, "You don't need to deny it. Lu Qi has worn the bracelet many times in public. All we need to do is just find a photo to confirm it. We can even go to the shop to check, there's even the number code of the bracelet, and a record of your purchase and carving."
"At that time, He Zhengbai, you were yet to break up with me. You were even discussing our marriage with me. You had even visited the Lu family house many times as my boyfriend. So I'm rather curious, during which visit to the house did you fall in love with Lu Qi?"
"Lu Man, just stop refusing to let go of this incident," He Zhengbai said, voice deepening.
"Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. After all, who hasn't met a b*stard or two?" Lu Man smiled, "You even saw Lu Qi's message to me too. The messages clearly indicated that had gone on her own accord to the director's room late at night. Why do female stars choose late nights to visit someone? He Zhengbai, you're also training to become a director. This kind of dirty stuff in the entertainment circle is something you should know very clearly. I don't need to say more."
Lu Man moved her gaze from Lu Qi to He Zhengbai, a faint smile on her face. "You're totally being cuckolded."
After she had finished speaking, without waiting to see their reactions, Lu Man left quickly.
Seeing that He Zhengbai was still stunned, Lu Qi grabbed his arm, shook it. "Zhengbai, stop staring blankly, quickly go and stop her from leaving!"
Chapter 25: He Had Barely Chased After Her When He Saw That Lu Man Had Entered a Black Nissan

At last, He Zhengbai returned to his senses. He did know about Lu Qi going to the director's room.
Lu Qi had also told him that she had taken Lu Man along with her just in case Hanli wanted to do something, she would have left Lu Man behind. No matter what she wouldn't have let Lu Hanli touch her.
Although he trusted Lu Qi, he was still a man, and hence was more wary and narrow-minded when it came to such things.
Even though Lu Qi said that she had not been touched, was it really true?
Yet even before the whole incident had happened, he had absolutely no idea that Lu Qi had gone to find Lu Hanli.
However, today when Lu Qi frantically came to find him, telling him she had harmed someone. She even told him how Lu Hanli wanted to molest her yet she refused and while she used a table lamp to knock him unconscious, she had accidentally caused serious to Lu Hanli.
Everything had happened so suddenly, and it was such a serious matter that He Zhengbai had immediately gone to destroy the surveillance cameras' recordings, during that period.
He had actually done it himself and had even sent away all the security guards.
As he had watched the surveillance tape, he had seen that Lu Qi was the one who went to Lu Hanli's room on her own accord.
But He Zhengbai did not bother finding out more.
Since Lu Qi told him that she had knocked Lu Man unconscious, He Zhengbai had thought of making Lu Man as the scapegoat to save Lu Qi from getting into trouble.
However, he did not expect to see Lu Man in Han Zhuoli's room.
Also when he saw Lu Man leaning seductively into Han Zhuoli's embrace, his feelings, at that time, were very complicated.
Yet he did not want to admit his loss even though he had to admit he could not compare to Han Zhuoli.
Also, it was the woman he did not want, who was so intimate with Han Zhuoli.
While he was dating Lu Man, Lu Man had never let him touch her.
Thus, It was so ludicrous that today was the first time he had ever seen Lu Man show that much skin.
However, thinking about how Han Zhuoli had already seen it multiple times and had clearly and thoroughly seen it, He Zhengbai felt suffocated.
It seemed that Lu Man had always pretended to be conservative in front of him because she felt that he was not good enough for her.
Otherwise, if it was not like that, she wouldn't have thrown away all her conservative principles as soon as she saw Han Zhuoli.
However, at that time, he did not have much time to think deeply about this before he was shocked by the WeChat conversation shown by Lu Man as evidence.
However, after that incident, Lu Qi had explained the whole thing to him, telling him how she had wanted to make Lu Man take her place at the vital moment.
She had said that no matter what, she would never do anything that would let He Zhengbai down.
Indeed, He Zhengbai had believed her at that time, but of course, he could not help dislike what she had done.
But after hearing what Lu Man said just now, the doubt in his heart resurfaced once again.
If it was not for the fact that the police had come to find Lu Man following which she had shown the evidence, Lu Qi would never have told him these things.
Earlier, even when Lu Qi asked him for help, she had not mentioned it.
It was only after the revealing of a few things that Lu Qi had confessed the truth behind those things.
Otherwise, she had planned on never telling him.
Somehow he had found out about this incident, but what else had she not told him?
He Zhengbai could not help but start doubting her.
"Zhengbai, chase after her quickly!" Lu Qi urged him again.
Hence, He Zhengbai decided to stop thinking about these things as of now and stop Lu Man first.
But he had barely chased after her when he saw that Lu Man had entered a black Nissan
"Drive quickly!" Lu Man said.
As the car sped away, He Zhengbai and Lu Qi could only watch do nothing.
Since he could not catch up with Lu Man, the doubt He Zhengbai had just now started to appear again.
Seeing He Zhengbai's expression, Lu Qi said, "Are you starting to doubt me because of what Lu Man said?"
