Chapter 466: The Lies
Translator: Lonelytree
Lu Ke sat there in a daze. How could this be?
She was kidnapped for three days but she escaped unscathed. In contrast, the kidnappers took care of her meticulously. They did not intend to hurt her at all. Even when the police arrived, the kidnappers did not put up much of a fight and let her go easily.

“Do you know how people are talking about our family now?” Lu Hui glanced at Lu Ke and shoved her out of anger.
Seeing this, Madam Lu quickly jumped to defend her daughter. She shouted at Lu Hui, “What are you doing? Ke ‘Er didn’t want this to happen too!”
Lu Ke slowly lifted her eyes in her mother’s embrace. Now everyone knew she was the one who had been harming and scheming against Mo Li because she envied her. She even conspired with Luo Cong against Mo Li. Lu Ke did not dare to get on the internet to face the questioning voices.

“When people heard about the Lu and Quan Families union, the company got many new contracts but now they are all gone. How did I ever give birth to a useless daughter like you?” Lu Hui glared at Lu Ke resentfully.

However, Lu Ke’s eyes glowed with a glimmer of hope. How can I forget about that? She still had a savior. When Quan Yu came to help her, these things would be resolved easily. She would have him crush those people who dared to talk down to her.

Lu Ke pushed her mother away and ran upstairs. She called Quan Yu’s number Lu Qin had given to her but the call was busy. He must be really angry at me…
Lu Ke panicked. If this continued to ferment, their family would join the Luo Family and fall to the bottom of society. She would not accept that! She looked at the phone and dialed Lu Qin’s number with trembling fingers.
When she heard Lu Qin’s voice, Lu Ke was on the verge of tears. “Big Sister, this is Ke Ke, can you contact Brother Quan Yu for me? I’ve tried calling him but he’s not picking up. Please, can you help me?”
Lu Qin’s eyes flashed with coldness. She thought that she could get some use out of Lu Ke but the girl had disappointed her greatly. Lu Ke failed to undermine Mo Li and had offended the Xiao Family. Lu Qin regretted making up the news of the marriage, it had made the idiot even more idiotic. Speaking of, how did Xiao Yue know the marriage news between Lu Ke and Quan Yu was fake? Clearly, there is another party behind this but they are hiding in the dark. This made Lu Qin uncomfortable and she lost her patience with Lu Ke. “Of course, he won’t. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Why would Quan Yu even know you? Someone as dumb as you deserve to be used.”

Lu Ke glanced at the name on her phone. She got the number right so why was Sister Lu Qin being so scary and unfamiliar that day?
“Big Sister…”
“Do I know you? Why are you calling me your big sister?” Lu Qin frowned. For her, Lu Ke was already useless. Lu Ke could not help her in the slightest so she was done playing nice with her.
“Big Sister Qin Qin, why are you… I’m Lu Ke! I’m the daughter of the Lu Family branch in Pearl River. I’m your cousin!”
“I have no cousin who is so idiotic. Really, how dumb can you be? You haven’t seen Quan Yu for so many years but you still think he likes you? Laughable.” Lu Qin’s meaning was clear. Lu Qin’s favorite thing to do was to break a person’s last hope when they were in deep despair.

Lu Ke sat paralyzed beside her bed. She had always regarded Lu Qin as her good sister. After all, they grew up together. However, that was all a dream.
It took Lu Ke the whole night to accept that Lu Qin had lied to her. But that did not trouble her the most. The most annoying thing was this meant that Lu Ke had lost the support of the strong Lu Family. How was she going to compete with Mo Li and Xiao Yue then?!
Lu Ke refused to accept this but there was nothing she could do. In the eyes of the public, she was a vicious woman who framed Mo Li and Luo Cong. Lu Ke had nothing to do with the damage to Luo Cong’s car but everyone believed she had tried to kill him.

Mo Li was unharmed by their schemes and Xiao Yue was now a hero who managed to save Lu Ke from her kidnappers. Lu Ke also wanted to clear her name overnight like Xiao Yue did but Lu Ke no longer had the support of the Lu Family.. She could not even figure out what had gone wrong in her plan. Furthermore, how did Xiao Yue manage to find the place where she was taken by the kidnappers so easily?
