Gu Mohan’s breath sunk on the other end of the call.
Tang Mo’er was started to feel panicked and she started to blame herself. “Mr Gu, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not looking after An’an. An’an asked for a glass of water and by the time I turned around, she was already gone…”
“Mo’er, it’s okay,” Gu Mohan consoled her, “It’s not your fault. I’ll handle An’an’s matters, you should follow Auntie Wu home, don’t run about recklessly, okay?”
Hearing his calm tone, Tang Mo’er felt her heart calm down. “Got it, you should find out An’an’s whereabouts as soon as possible!”
…
Along the hospital corridor.
Auntie Wu held Tang Mo’er’s tiny hand. “Madam, let’s head back home now.”
“Okay.”
Tang Mo’er followed Auntie Wu but she could feel a devilish stare from behind. She stopped walking and turned back to check.
“Auntie Wu, is there anyone behind us?” Tang Mo’er asked.
Auntie Wu lifted her eyes and followed Tang Mo’er’s line of vision, but there wasn’t anyone in sight.
“Madam, there’s no one in front, what’s the matter?”
Tang Mo’er shook her head before smiling. “Nothing much, let’s head back home.”
It must have been an illusion, many bad things had happened during this period and she was probably getting too sensitive, worrying about every little thing.
Tang Mo’er followed Auntie Wu and left. Right after they left, someone appeared out of a secluded corner. It was Qin Yawen.
Qin Yawen had her hands balled into fists by her sides, if she could kill someone with her gaze, she probably would have killed Tang Mo’er a few hundred times over with that ferocious, evil stare of hers.
Tang Mo’er was destined to be the bane of her existence. Tang Mo’er had single-handedly ruined Xiaowan and herself and yet she was still able to continue hurting Qi’er.
If she had known that things would come this far, she would have strangled Tang Mo’er to death when she was a little child.
Qin Yawen turned around and arrived in front of Lu Qi’er’s hospital ward.
Lu Qi’er was admitted into the hospital and she wore a blue striped hospital gown and she sat on the hospital bed, entirely blank. The butler of the Lu family reported, “Elder Miss, I’ve handled the rumors circulating around online. I’ve also made that madman disappear. Everything that happened yesterday has been settled, you can see this as a new start in your life.”
“What’s the use in having a new start? My reputation is ruined! I’m no longer going to be the Capital’s greatest socialite and the queen of the music industry. Although no one will point fingers in front of my face, they’re bound to speak badly of me behind my back. Gu Mohan has ruined my life, he’s skinned me alive!”
Gu Mohan had taken away her glamorous facade, the verbal abuse on the internet was overpowering and she had been forced to close down her Weibo page. Lu Qi’er had turned into the Capital’s laughing stock!
This Gu Mohan was really black-bellied and ruthless. Regardless, his string of plans was indeed exciting to watch.
She didn’t have any chances to retaliate, everything hit her right in the face before she could even realize it.
The butler laughed. “Elder Miss, Sir already expected such words from you and hence he instructed me to pass on this message. Everyone should be responsible for their own stupid actions, this is the last time he will clear up your mess. You’d better behave yourself in the future since you’re on your own.”
What?
Lu Qi’er’s beautiful face was tense and she was shocked. After everything that happened to her, her dad didn’t even offer a word of consolation and warned her instead?
“Where’s my Daddy, why isn’t he here? Does he even think of me as his daughter?” Lu Qi’er questioned the butler, furious to the point she wanted to stamp her feet and scream in agitation.
The butler wasn’t flustered when he replied, “Elder Miss, if Sir doesn’t think of you as his daughter, he wouldn’t even help clean up your mess. And if that were the case, you’d probably be facing the worst crisis in your entire lifetime right now.”
“…”
Lu Qi’er was speechless but it didn’t take too long before she smirked, revealing an evil smile. No matter how Gu Mohan tried to set her up and try to skin her alive, someone would always have her back.
It was inevitable.
After all, she was the beloved daughter of the Lu family, Daddy would always have her back.
As long as Daddy was alive, no matter what mess she created, there would always be someone to settle everything.
Lu Qi’er couldn’t help but feel pleased, she had a strong sense of security since her Dad was a strong backing.
The butler asked, “Elder Miss, have you aborted the fetus?”
With the mention of the illegitimate child she was pregnant with, Lu Qi’er’s pretty face morphed into a fierce one. She tugged on the hospital gown she was wearing. “Of course I’ve aborted the fetus, why would I even keep an illegitimate child? Are you expecting me to give birth to it?”
She had thought of the baby as Gu Mohan’s child, the Gu family’s beloved grandson but who knew that the baby actually belonged to an intellectually disabled man. It was an illegitimate child and so she had the doctor abort it once she was admitted into the hospital without giving it a second thought.
The thought of her sleeping with such a lowly, intellectually disabled man, including squatting down to give him a blowjob made her feel like throwing up.
She was the daughter of the Lu family, how could such a man even be with her?
The butler didn’t deign her with any comments to her outburst. “Elder Miss, after your discharge, Sir would bring you back to the Capital.”
Return to the Capital?
Daddy was heading back to the Capital?
It was logical for him to make such a decision since he only arrived in Karghalik for her engagement ceremony with Gu Mohan. It was time for Daddy to head back home.
But Lu Qi’er felt indignant, she couldn’t just leave after her downfall. Although she had lost Gu Mohan, she could still make a comeback by using Fu Qinglun.
“I’m not going back, Daddy can head back to the Capital by himself.”
“Miss, I’m merely informing you, not asking for your opinion.”
“You…”
“Elder Miss, let me give you some advice privately. If I were you, I’d definitely follow Sir back to the Capital. You’ve been completely defeated in Karghalik, but nothing matters since you’re Lu Jinwen’s daughter. With Sir present, you won’t miss out on enjoying everything that you’re entitled to. A luxurious lifestyle, an arranged marriage with an equally established family in the future and a great future. Nothing less than that.”
Lu Qi’er stopped speaking and her mouth snapped shut. Objectively speaking, though her father had been cold towards her all these years, it was a fact that her identity as the daughter of the Lu family had brought her umpteen honor and prestige.
“Elder Miss, we shall end our conversation here. I’ll take my leave first, you should rest well.” The butler left.
…
The hospital ward instantly quieted down, Lu Qi’er lay on the bed and there were two private nurses attending to her.
“Miss, let me feed you some chicken soup.” One nurse brought a spoon beside her mouth.
“Why is it scalding hot, do you even know how to serve on people?” Lu Qi’er spilled the scalding hot chicken soup on the nurse.
There was a huge swollen patch on the nurse’s body but she was intimidated by Lu Qi’er’s fierce expression. She didn’t even dare to utter a word.
Lu Qi’er was in low spirits, she continued making a fuss. “Get lost, I don’t want to see the both of you!”
The two nurses made eye contact before leaving the ward.
Lu Qi’er lifted the blanket and wanted to get down from the bed.
But someone charged inside the ward. “Qi’er, you’re having your confinement now, you can’t get down the bed!”
Lu Qi’er turned her head over and spotted Qin Yawen.
Qin Yawen was Tang Mo’er’s mother, why on earth did she appear in her hospital ward?
“Qin Yawen, why are you here? Are you here to humiliate me on Tang Mo’er’s behalf?” Lu Qi’er questioned her angrily.
