"If you did it, you did it. I refuse to take the blame for Lu Qi," Lu Man said.
"You must go! Your younger sister is a popular celebrity now, with a bright future ahead. She can't let her reputation be ruined because of something like this," Lu Qiyuan said roughly.
Lu Man was no longer angry, she was just numb.
All these people in front of her, none of them were her true family.
They were relatives, them being related by blood was something that cannot be denied, but they were not her family.
"So my future being ruined is not important?" Lu Man asked sarcastically.
Originally, Lu Qiyuan was feeling slightly guilty, but when he looked at Lu Man, he remembered the past that he wanted to forget, he thought of how Lu Qi could not be acknowledged as his daughter in public, and any guilt he had vanished.
"You're just an assistant, you don't have much future ahead anyway," Lu Qiyuan said, "If worse comes to worst, you can become Qi Qi's assistant even after you are released from jail. Anyway, you won't be jobless. But it's different for Qi Qi, she has such a bright future and her career is just rising. The competition in the entertainment industry is very fierce, and people get replaced so fast. If she doesn't appear in front of the public for a while, she will get replaced by someone else. Much less to say being sent to prison. It'll leave a black mark on her career forever and she can never return to the entertainment industry after being released.
Lu Qiyuan felt that he was already considering a lot for Lu Man, but still using a voice he believed to be very benevolent and kind, he persuaded Lu Man, "Lu Man, don't worry, you're also my daughter, and I will definitely do what's best for you. I will spend more money and use my connections to reduce your sentence as much as possible. Also, haven't you always been busy because of your mother's illness? I know that her medical fees are a lot, and you have no savings all these years, spending all your money to help treat her illness."
"As long as you turn yourself in, I will take care of your mother's illness. I will pay for all the fees. I will find her the best hospital and the best doctors. Even when you're in jail, you won't have to worry that no one will take care of her."
Lu Man looked at Lu Qiyuan's face, he looked as if he had spent a lot of effort thinking for the best solution for her. Her eyes turned red with anger.
In her past life when she had entered prison, Lu Qiyuan had never cared about Xia Qingwei, letting her fend for herself.
If not for Lu Man asking Tang Zi, who knows what would have happened to Xia Qingwei.
In her past life, Lu Qiyuan not only did not care about what happened to Xia Qingwei but he had even let Lu Qi anger Xia Qingwei to death.
Even after that, Lu Qiyuan did not feel sad and just felt that Lu Qi had been aggrieved.
Ha!
However, at that time, since there was no need for him to bargain with her, Lu Qiyuan had entirely forgotten about Xia Qingwei.
"My mother?" Lu Man was extremely angry that she had started trembling, "She was your ex-wife! How can you use that and say that it's your gift to me? I have never asked you to take responsibility for her illness, and have never used a single cent of your money to treat my mother, but this doesn't mean that you can be so heartless and forget what she had given up for you! You're using this as a condition in exchange for me going to prison? If I had agreed just now without you offering to do this, does that mean that when I'm in prison, you won't care about her?"
She had experienced this once in her past life and thus knew very well what Lu Qiyuan would do.
Towards his ex-wife, he could act like this.
This man was a fickle and selfish man!
"You want me to take Lu Qi's place to go to jail? Impossible!" Lu Man glared viciously at Lu Qiyuan. "You have always only acted as Lu Qi's father, not mine! My father is the man who would carry me onto his leg when I was young, tell me stories and ask me how my day at school went. He would rather wear old clothes that he had owned for a few years and buy me new clothes, to dress me up as a princess."
Lu Qiyuan looked embarrassed.
"However, when I was 14, my father became someone else's father and was no longer my father. He worries that Lu Qi will feel aggrieved, but has never cared about how I have to compromise in so many ways. To let Lu Qi enter the entertainment circle you did not care that I wanted to be a fashion designer and not an assistant. Even though I had made it into a good school, you forced me to pull out and slave away for Lu Qi. Even though you know that I am being wrongly accused, you still want me to be the scapegoat. Ruining my future is not enough, you must also ruin my entire life."
Lu Man's tears started falling, and she wiped them away, unable to mask her vulnerability. "Lu Qi has a father, but I don't have one. Since she has harmed someone, let her take responsibility herself, I won't help her take the blame. If she didn't harm anyone, then why is she so scared? After the police have finished investigating, they won't let the actual culprit go. If she was right, and it was me who was the culprit, then let the police come and apprehend me. It's not me who did it, and I'm not guilty, so I'm not afraid!"
Upon hearing Lu Man say that Lu Qi has a father, but she does not have one, Lu Qiyuan had already become furious.
Saying that in front of him, what did she take him as?
Saying that she had no father, is she implying he's dead?
Lu Qiyuan did not even think about what he had done to Lu Man, so how could he still expect Lu Man to be grateful to him?
After Lu Man had finished talking, she turned and ran outside.
None of them expected Lu Man to suddenly run away and thus they were not prepared at all. They were all feeling muddled for a moment.
Finally, when Lu Qiyuan had managed to recover, he hurriedly said, "Chase after her now! Don't let her tell any lies to outsiders!"
He Zhengbai was the one who reacted swiftly and quickly chased after her. Taking a glance, Lu Qi immediately followed him.
Upon leaving from there Lu Man wiped away her tears, smiling coldly.
Just now, she had just been acting. Her heart had long turned cold when she had died. Why would she care about what those people said or did?
However, she did not immediately rush out and instead slowed down outside the house.
Suddenly, she heard a whistle that sounded like the cry of a bird and turned towards the source of the sound. She saw that Tang Zi was carefully peeking out from the left-side bush that was in front of her. Then, Tang Zi blinked twice at Lu Man.
Lu Man nodded, signaling to him to hide quickly,
Immediately after that, she heard He Zhengbai call her from behind, "Lu Man!"
Lu Man smiled coldly seeing that He Zhengbai had followed her out. Previously she had been worried that they would not follow her out.
However, on turning around, she saw He Zhengbai and Lu Qi come running after her.
Lu Man pretended like she was about to run, but He Zhengbai caught up to her with a few steps and stopped her.
"Lu Man, let's bring the discussion back inside," He Zhengbai requested.
"What else is there to say? All of you tried to push the blame onto me, none of you cared about your face and just tried to make me take the blame for Lu Qi," Lu Man said loudly.
Lu Qi's face changed, "Elder sister, don't speak so loudly. The situation isn't like you have said."
"Yeah, Lu Man let's go back in to talk," He Zhengbai tolerantly tried convincing her, reaching out to grab Lu Man's arm.
Having already anticipated it, Lu Man took a step back and avoided his hand.
"I won't go back. That isn't my home, it has long been taken over by Lu Qi. Although I'm the biological daughter, I can't compare with the step-daughter that followed her mother into the Lu family. I've been forced to have no home to return to and no path to follow. No one would believe it if I told others," Lu Man laughed coldly, "She took over my house, and along with her mother even forced my mother out. Her mother is a mistress, destroying my parents' marriage and now Lu Qi has seduced my boyfriend. It turns out that being a mistress is hereditary."
