Chapter 70: Once She Can't Even Afford to Pay for Xia Qingwei's Follow-Up Medical Treatment, She Will Have to Listen to Us Obediently!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Qingyang looked disappointed and aggrieved. "Qiyuan, don't blame me for being angry. I've never hurt her before, so why did she try to scheme against me like this? Why is she so evil! From now on, please don't blame me for not treating her as a daughter!"
"She was the one who decided not to treat us like family first, I don't blame you." The more Lu Qiyuan thought about it, the angrier he became, He slammed his teacup back down onto the saucer. "Now that she's older and able to do things independently and on her own, I, as her father, am unable to stop her anymore! That damn child sure is smart! If she can scheme against you today, tomorrow she can scheme against me too! That ungrateful thing has never treated us like family! Only Xia Qingwei treats her like a treasure. I want to see, how will Xia Qingwei end up when Lu Man stays with her!"
"She indeed went too overboard this time. We always treat her like family but she doesn't. What a waste of raising her up all these years and treating her as the Lu family's young mistress. Everyone else is worried that they can't find a job after graduating. But what about her? Before she has even graduated, we've already arranged for her to have a job in the company," Xia Qingyang said unashamedly.
When clearly it was her and Lu Qiyuan who forced Lu Man to have to quit school, yet she twisted her words and said that even before graduating Lu Man already had a stable job.
This "stable job" in their company was to work as Lu Qi's assistant rather be her servant.
If Lu Man was here right now, she would definitely give her two big slaps on the face.
Xia Qingyang really knew how to bend the truth!
"That ungrateful and useless thing!" Lu Qiyuan hit the sofa furiously.
"Qiyuan, we gave her money, let her have a good life, yet this is how she tries to harm us." Xia Qingyang saw that she had managed to infuriate Lu Qiyuan sufficiently. "This time, we should give her a stern punishment, if not you really wouldn't be able to handle her. I'm fine with it, since I'm not her biological mother, and neither has she ever respected me. Maybe she can't even wait for me to drop dead."
"Mom!" Lu Qi cried tearfully, "Don't curse yourself like that."
Xia Qingyang patted Lu Qi's hand. "I'm not cursing myself, but that's exactly what Lu Man wants. These two days in the police station, I suffered so much and I was always worried that I would never get to see you two ever again. I don't understand exactly why Lu Man is so cruel. Qiyuan, I'm alright, but you're her father. It's fine if she doesn't respect me, but she can't be disrespectful towards you too! No matter what happens, it's still the same, you can't be humiliated by others. Now that this matter is getting even more blown up online, so when you head out you will get humiliated by others, but even your own daughter couldn't care less about it."
This was also the reason that angered Lu Qiyuan the most. When he was discussing business matters with others, every single person he met would ask a question or two about Lu Man.
To Lu Qiyuan, Lu Qi was his most obedient daughter. All this was Lu Man's fault.
"Hmph, since I can give her all these, I can take them all back too. Just like how I can let her have a home and a job, I can also let her be so poor that she'd even be starving! Doesn't she think that it's unfair for her to be Qi Qi's assistant? Ha, then I'll make it such that she can't even be an assistant! Even if she tries to find another job, she also won't be able too! I may not have a lot of influence, but it's enough to cause her to starve in City B. By then, once she can't even afford to pay for Xia Qingwei's follow-up medical treatment, she will have to listen to us obediently!" Lu Qiyuan said smugly and wickedly.

Till now, Lu Man still did not know about Lu Qiyuan's evil plan. These past few days, she was indeed applying for jobs.
However, even after applying to several companies, there was either a rejection email or no response at all. She did not even have a chance to go for a written assessment or an interview.
Right now, in the afternoon, while Xu Hui was guarding by the hospital door, Zhou Cheng stealthily went to the hospital's entrance.
Chapter 71: Zhou Cheng Took a Look and Was Immediately Impressed by Han Zhuoli's Cunning Attentiveness.

After a while, a Black Bentley Mulsanne stopped right in front of him.
Zhou Cheng looked around, and like a thief, he stealthily walked up and quickly got into the car.
"Xiao Chen, Mr Han didn't come?" Zhou Cheng asked as he tightly hugged onto the two lunchboxes in his hands.
"Hehe," the driver Xiao Chen laughed, "stop holding so tightly onto them, just pass them to me. Mr Han is busy and can't come over, but you still have to pass me these lunchboxes."
Zhou Cheng could not bear to part with those lunchboxes and touched them reluctantly. These past few days in the hospital, their palates and appetites had changed because of Lu Man. They could no longer eat take-outs anymore.
It was all because of that blabbermouth Xu Hui. He just had to tell Mr Han that Lu Man prepared meals for them herself.
That was why, even when Mr Han himself could not come he would still send Xiao Chen over.
"Mr Han can't eat two portions alone either." Zhou Cheng struggled for the last time. "Just give him one portion."
"You can tell that to Mr Han yourself then." Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.
Zhou Cheng shut his mouth.
If he could tell him, he would have done it much earlier.
Xiao Chen stopped wasting his time chatting and quickly took the two lunch boxes over from Zhou Cheng and then passed him another two meal boxes.
When Zhou Cheng took a look at them he was immediately impressed by Han Zhuoli's cunning attentiveness.
Even after taking Lu Man's lunch boxes away from them, he specially prepared two identical looking meal boxes just in case Lu Man finds out.
"Let me tell you something else. Help me to inform Mr Han about it," Zhou Cheng said.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Chen kept the lunchboxes aside, still afraid that Zhou Cheng would snatch them.
Zhou Cheng squinted his eyes. He was not that pathetic!
Though, he did indeed almost thought of snatching it back.
"Lu Man has been looking for a job recently. She had applied for many, but none of them was successful." Zhou Cheng said, "I've checked, it's Lu Qiyuan's doing."
"Alright, I'll report this back to Mr Han."
Zhou Cheng finally sighed and carried two fake meal boxes with him off the car. From now on, it seemed that he would never ever be able to eat Lu Man's homemade food again.

Upon returning to the Han Media Company, Xiao Chen immediately went to Han Zhuoli's office.
"Mr Han." Xiao Chen placed the lunchboxes in front of Han Zhuoli and told him everything that Zhou Cheng had found out.
"I've got it." Han Zhuoli nodded his head.
So calm? No reaction at all?
Xiao Chen was full of curiosity. Could it be that they all had misunderstood Han Zhuoli's feelings towards Lu Man?
"Is there anything else?" Still busy working, Han Zhuoli paused and looked up at him.
"No." Xiao Chen quickly said, "Then I'll be leaving."
Xiao Chen was still a little puzzled. However, as he walked to the door, he heard Han Zhuoli's voice. "Go out and tell Zheng Tianming to get HR to meet me."
A weight was suddenly lifted off Xiao Chen's chest, and he immediately felt calm.
Indeed, they did not misunderstand Mr Han's feelings towards Lu Man.
After leaving, Xiao Chen passed on Han Zhouli's message to his assistant Zheng Tianming.
***
The next day, Tang Zi came to the hospital with a basket of fruits.
Xia Qingwei knew him since Tang Zi would often visit Xia Qingwei in City B on behalf of Lu Man when Lu Man used to follow Lu Qi to other cities as her assistant.
"You're here, Tang Zi! Come, quickly take a seat!" Xia Qingwei was very happy to see Tang Zi. "Man Man, quickly get a glass of water for Tang Zi. You, too, Tang Zi, there's no need to bring any fruits if you're coming. If you bring something again the next time you visit, I dare not let you visit me anymore."
Tang Zi asked, smiling, "Man Man and I are such good friends, why are you still being so polite. I already treat you as my godmother."
Then Tang Zi chatted with Xia Qingwei for a while. He even made Xia Qingwei laugh non-stop, but she was afraid of laughing too hard as she may hurt her wound.
