บท 45: They Were Nothing More Than Dogs

Lu Liangwei turned her head abruptly only to see Lu Hetian's originally borderline-pleasant expression suddenly darkening. There was a visible flash of pain in his pitch-dark eyes.

Only then did Ji Qingyuan seem to realize that he had said something he should not have, and he turned his head away without another word.

Lu Liangwei glanced at Ji Qingyuan thoughtfully.

Lihua was Madam Ling's maiden name.

It seemed that Ji Qingyuan was rather familiar with Madam Ling.

His remarks against Lu Hetian just now appeared to be defending the late Madam Ling against some unknown injustice.

However, why would Madam Ling be disappointed in Lu Hetian? What wrong did he commit against her?

Burying the curious questions deep inside her heart, Lu Liangwei could not bear to see Lu Hetian in such a dejected state, so she took his arm and called him affectionately, "Daddy."

Seeing how meek his daughter was, Lu Hetian gave her a reluctant smile.
