“If Lu Man targeted me, I’d understand. But the one who shouldn’t betray me the most is Lu Qi!”
Jiang Yujie thought, Glad you know that!
Had Lu Qiyuan treated Lu Man better, he wouldn’t be left all alone and be betrayed by his family today.
Lu Man would have helped and protected him no matter what.
Unlike the ungrateful Lu Qi.
Lu Qiyuan deserved it. He deserved no sympathy.
Lu Qiyuan unexpectedly could be hard-hearted enough to sue even his own daughter.
Unknowing of Jiang Yujie’s thoughts, he grasped her hand. “I’ve already told Xia Qingyang about the divorce today. Except she wanted to use the divorce to gain my assets. She’s stepping on my toes.”
Lu Qiyuan said, “She has evidence of us together, so I’ve got to attack first.”
Jiang Yujie nodded with an air of helplessness and innocence.
Lu Qiyuan said, “Rest assured, Xia Qingyang’s going to jail. The divorce is proceeding even if she doesn’t want it, nor can she get her hands on my assets.
“After I divorce her, we’ll get married. Lu Man had long stopped treating me as a dad, and Lu Qi’s betrayed me. I’ve given up on them. Not a single cent of my inheritance will go to them.
“I’m far older than you. Needless to say, I’ll die first. My assets will all go to you. Even if I’m not around, I can still guarantee you a good life.”
Jiang Yujie acted as if she was extremely moved.
Yet she mocked Lu Qiyuan in her heart for immediately rushing into another marriage.
Back when he divorced Xia Qingwei, he’d instantly married Xia Qingyang.
And now, he had yet to separate from Xia Qingyang and he’s already planning to marry her.
“Don’t worry about your parents,” Lu Qiyuan said. “I know I might be old, but I’m sure I can convince them.
“However, even if we married, your neighbors might still judge your parents because of Xia Qingyang’s actions,” he continued. “I have a house at Shanshui Bay. Why don’t you move your parents there? Otherwise, your parents will keep experiencing criticisms from the neighbors.”
Jiang Yujie considered it before saying, “Alright, I’ll discuss it with them when I go back. They might not agree, but I’ll persuade them.”
“Great.” Lu Qiyuan smiled. “Are you hurt anywhere else?”
“No.” Jiang Yujie shook her head. “Madam only slapped me. Probably doesn’t want me to show my face to others.”
“Have you applied ointment?” Lu Qiyuan questioned.
“I have, don’t worry.”
Afterward, whether it was because of peoples’ wagging tongues or the methods Jiang Yujie had employed…
Whether it was because her parents were sick of the place or because they got persuaded by Jiang Yujie…
They moved into the house Lu Qiyuan had mentioned.
It was far away from the original neighbors, in a new place where no one knew of Jiang Yujie’s deeds.
Meanwhile, the evidence against Xia Qingyang and the other two was mounting.
This day, He Zhengbai, Lu Qi, Xia Qingyang, Lawyer Huang, and Xia Qingyang’s lawyer were together.
Lawyer Huang said, “Lu Qiyuan has had enough preparation, and he began checking since long ago. The situation now is our expected worst circumstance. We can’t win this lawsuit—the final outcome you three could expect is how heavy or light the sentence will be.”
