"You sure know how to joke. Who am I to speak to Han Zhuoli like that? You aren't thinking that just because Han Zhuoli helped me once, I have some close relationship with him, right?" Lu Man snickered. "Honestly speaking, I've nothing to do with Han Zhuoli at all. I don't even talk to him. He doesn't even meet me either.
"Stop pretending! If there's nothing between you two, why would he help you at the hospital that day? Moreover, if there's nothing going on, why would he especially leave two bodyguards at the hospital?" Lu Qiyuan shouted, "Are you insulting my intelligence!"
"Haha," Lu Man laughed mockingly. Intelligence? Since when did he have that?
"Yes, I had the same thoughts as you at first. If I were indeed close to Han Zhuoli that would be amazing. With him around, would I still be afraid of you? I could have ruined the Lu family completely long ago!" Lu Man laughed lightly.
Lu Qiyuan was livid. "You unfilial thing! What good would it do to you by ruining your own family!"
"Don't get so anxious, I was only dreaming about it. However, I did go to find Han Zhuoli eagerly, but who'd know that he would tell me that he just simply couldn't stand how you were bullying others and merely lent a hand. As for anything else, he told me to stop dreaming." Although Lu Man wanted to infuriate Lu Qiyuan, she did not want him to keep harassing her just because of her relationship with Han Zhuoli.
Hence she decided that she might as well say that she was worthless in his eyes as it was the only way Lu Qiyuan would completely give up any hopes.
However, Lu Man had changed too much in this time span. Thus, Lu Qiyuan honestly could no longer tell when Lu Man was speaking the truth and when she was lying. "I don't care what method you use, just settle it for me!"
Lu Man rolled her eyes. "I can't do it. I'm just a small fry. It'd be difficult to meet Han Zhuoli, let alone talk to him."
"Aren't you working at Han Corporation? Why wouldn't you be able to meet him?" Lu Qiyuan's tone changed immediately.
"Ha," Lu Man scoffed, "Did you not find out which department I had applied for and then went bad-mouthing me to that department's head just so that they would not hire me?"
Even if Lu Qiyuan denied it, Lu Man would not believe it.
Moreover, Lu Qi was there too. So certainly they would not have done nothing as those two always refused to let anything good happen to Lu Man.
Also, whenever either one of them was around, they could not stand anything good happening to Lu Man, let alone when both of them were there.
What Lu Man had said stunned Lu Qiyuan so much that he was speechless for a while. How did Lu Man know that!
However, Lu Qiyuan would never have thought that Lu Man would know him this well. She could even figure him out using just her toe to think!
His silence right now was equivalent to admitting it.
Even if she had already expected it, rage burned within Lu Man's chest. Her eyes turned red from anger.
She clenched her teeth and pressed her lips tightly together. After much effort, she finally said, "Dad!"
"You're my dad, right! What exactly do you want? To what extent will you keep forcing me? Huh?" Even when he was begging her for help, he did not speak nicely to her, it was rather as if she was under his obligation and thus owed them!
She was indebted to many people — her mother, Mi Qiansong, Tang Zi — but she was definitely not indebted to him at all!
"I'm not asking for you to give me 1% of your love for Lu Qi nor am I asking you to remember that I'm your daughter too. I'm just asking you to stop harming me! Am I asking too much? Is it too difficult?" Lu Man was so livid that her eyes were about to burst out of the sockets.
Lu Qiyuan held back his words for a long time before he finally said, "Since when have I ever harmed you! If I had harmed you, would still be able to happily stand there and talk to me over the phone!"
"Ha, if you don't want to admit it, that's fine. Your conscience knows exactly what you've done." Lu Man was too tired to be angry anymore. Her fingers were already pale from gripping onto her phone so tightly. "I've long expected from you to not care for me as a father, but stop trying to harm me behind my back or dragging me down! On one hand, you're ruining my life, yet on the other you still want me to help you. Ha, right after you decided to bad-mouth me to my supervisor to make me lose my job, you immediately try to get me to help Lu Qi find a role? Have you ever considered that once I lose my job because of what you did, I will not have the money for my mother's medical treatment? She's your ex-wife who went through thick and thin with you for years! You wouldn't have all these achievements without her! For the sake of Lu Qi, you really want my mother to die?"
It was even to the extent that he was using Xia Qingwei to threaten her!
"Don't forget, you don't just have Xia Qingwei as your mother, you also have me as a father! Without me, you won't exist! I do everything with my own reasons, so I definitely won't harm you!" Lu Qiyuan said, which made Lu Man laugh.
If he could be so thick-skinned to say that, what else could Lu Man say?
"I don't care!" Lu Qiyuan decided to just ignore what Lu Man had said, "She's your sister, you must help her. I don't care what you tell Han Zhuoli, as an elder sister, you have the responsibility to help her."
Lu Man just laughed derisively and directly hung up on him.
This left Lu Qiyuan stunned for two seconds, this horrible girl actually dared to hang up on him!
Furious with her, Lu Qiyuan angrily called her again.
As for Lu Man, seeing that it was Lu Qiyuan again she did not pick up and directly switched off her phone.
She did not care about how angry Lu Qiyuan was on the other side of the phone. Moreover, she had already returned to the hospital.
Just as she reached the entrance of the hospital room, she saw Zhou Cheng and Xu Hui standing on either side of the door as if they were door gods.
"What's with the two of you?" Why were they standing like that in front of the door?
In the morning, when she had left, the two of them were still collapsed on their chairs.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhou Cheng smiled and asked, "Was your interview today successful?"
If she had not met Lu Qiyuan, she could say that it was very successful, but now, she did not know if she still could go to work at Han Corporation.
Furthermore, she did not know whether the Public Relations Department would actually listen to what Lu Qiyuan said and believe it, thus she changed her answer.
Since she had she had switched off her phone, in case they had changed their minds, they might not have been able to inform her even if they wanted to.
Lu Man quickly switched on her phone and shook her head at Zhou Cheng. "I really don't know."
Zhou Cheng found it weird, that was not possible, with Young Master Han, how could it not be successful?
Originally, he had asked even though he already knew the answer but who knew that Lu Man could not confirm it.
However, Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "You should go in first, Auntie has already been asking about you the whole afternoon."
Lu Man nodded, and just as she opened the door, she heard the voices inside leaving her stunned for a moment.
On the chair next to Xia Qingwei's hospital bed sat a tall man, and that man was none other than Han Zhuoli!
However, Xia Qingwei was the first one to see Lu Man, and quickly waved her over, "Man Man, why did you come back only now? Come here quickly."
Lu Man walked over, unsure of what was happening, and heard Xia Qingwei say, "Xiao Han has the heart to especially come over and see me."
Xiao Han?
What in the world?
When did her mom become so familiar with Han Zhuoli?
"This time Xiao Han really spent a lot of money, he has already helped us so much. The last time he paid for my medical bills and this time he even bought so many things for me," Xia Qingwei pointed at the corner of the room.
Lu Man saw that there was a whole stack of health products and some supplements.
"Next time, you really don't need to bring these things. I'm very happy that you came to see me, but I'm not happy that you spent so much money," Xia Qingwei straightened her face.
With Xia Qingwei in front of him, how could Han Zhuoli dare to act as much of a hooligan as he had acted towards Lu Man back then, thus this time he was sitting upright, and even his smile was an honest one, "I'm Man Man's friend, you're my elder, coming to visit an elder, how could I not bring anything?"
Lu Man raised her eyebrows in dubiety, what was wrong with this person?
Moreover, he also called her 'Man Man' and her mom was not even the least bit shocked.
How did he manage to win over her mom?
"I just asked a friend for these. All of these are health products that are beneficial to your heart. Please don't be overly polite with him, and once you finish them, I will send you some more," Han Zhuoli said gaily.
"How can I—"
"It's nothing, these are produced by my friend's company and these are definitely excellent. Since I took them from my friend, I didn't spend that much money," Han Zhuoli said with a smile.
