Jiang Yujie paused but eventually continued her dash down.
When Lu Qiyuan spotted Jiang Yujie, he saw that her face was at its worst.
It shocked him terribly.
However, the injury didn’t make her face look ugly. The swollen area was reddish, and on her fair skin, this made her appear even more pitiful.
Lu Qiyuan pulled Jiang Yujie into his embrace. “I’m sorry, you’ve been aggrieved.”
Jiang Yujie shook her head. “It’s nothing. I know it’s all my fault.
“I broke up your family and became the third party in your relationship,” Jiang Yujie said, holding her tears back. “I’ve always been conflicted. I know I’m in the wrong, but I just can’t leave you.
“I don’t want to compete with Madam, but even so, I still hurt her. I know this. So she hit me, she scolded me, and it’s what I deserve. I shouldn’t even argue back.” Jiang Yujie finally burst into tears.
But it was restrained, and the tears only flowed silently down her face.
Lu Qiyuan pulled her into his arms with his heart aching for her.
“But I’m the one who did wrong. It has nothing to do with my parents! They’re innocent!” Jiang Yujie sobbed. “I’m not only sorry towards Madam, but I also did wrong by my parents!
“They’re already old, yet I embarrassed them in front of all our neighbors, and they don’t even dare go out now.”Jiang Yujie shook her head. “I’m unfilial, only thinking of myself and of my own happiness while causing them suffering.”
Jiang Yujie gently pushed Lu Qiyuan, taking a step back. “Let’s… let’s break up.
“I can’t let my parents live a life of constant criticism. I don’t care if it’s only myself, I’d stay by your side. But I can’t be unfilial. I’m sorry, but compared to my own love, my parents are more important. I have to let them live peacefully at their age.”
How could Lu Qiyuan allow that? He could only think that this girl was too kind and innocent.
Xia Qingyang had already behaved so atrociously, yet Jiang Yujie still felt apologetic towards her.
“I’ll divorce Xia Qingyang,” Lu Qiyuan said.
“What?” Jiang Yujie quickly shook her head. “You can’t, you can’t divorce her because of me. I’ve already made such a big mistake, I can’t pile on even more.
“I know it’s too late to say this now, but I shouldn’t have gotten together with you back then. I only cared about my own happiness but caused hurt to so many people…”
“It’s not your problem,” Lu Qiyuan replied. “Remember what I told you before? I already wanted to divorce her, because she and Lu Qi collaborated with others to harm me.
“One is my wife, one is my daughter, and the other is my future son-in-law.” Lu Qiyuan sneered. “Those three should be my closest family, yet they colluded to harm me when I was sick.
“How can I let such people remain at my side? Even if you hadn’t appeared and I wasn’t with you, I’d still divorce her,” Lu Qiyuan explained.
“It’s not just Xia Qingyang, I’ll never let Lu Qi and He Zhengbai off as well,” he said coldly. “He Zhengbai is understandable. He’s not family, after all. He’s only with Lu Qi for the advantages.
“But as my biological daughter, Lu Qi has been pampered with all my heart since she was young and I never did her wrong. She enjoyed all the privileges while Lu Man had all the suffering,” Lu Qiyuan continued.
