The Long-awaited Mr Han

No matter what troubles or unlucky situations she met with, as long as she told Xia Qingyang about it, she would feel a little better.

Xia Qingyang always gave nonsensical ideas, but that was also out of her sincerity in wanting to scheme for her sake.

After this, however, at least for the next six years, she would have none of these.

“It’s fine, I don’t blame you. I did this willingly.” Xia Qingyang hugged Lu Qi and patted her back gently. “I did all this willingly, don’t blame yourself.”

“Mom, if even you are not around, I won’t have a family anymore. If I get bullied by others next time and feel sad, who else can I talk to! Mom!” Lu Qi cried.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Xia Qingyang instantly said.. “You still have Zhengbai! The two of you are married now. You are husband and wife. A husband and wife should band together. If anything happens, of course you can tell Zhengbai about it.

“Be good, take good care of yourself, don’t let Mom still worry about you so much,” Xia Qingyang said. “After six years, I will be released.”

She did not know to treasure her when she was still around.

When she was about to lose her, then she started feeling scared and regretful.

Lu Qi was the classic example of this.

Luckily, in the end, Lu Qi did not tell Xia Qingyang to forget it and not go and take the rap.

He Zhengbai then heaved a sigh of relief.

When Lu Man learned that Xia Qingyang had been sentenced to six years, she also got a shock.

“So Lu Qi and He Zhengbai got away scot-free?” Lu Man asked Han Zhuoli.

Of course, this matter was told by Han Zhuoli to Lu Man over dinner, after Han Zhuoli got off work and came home.

Lu Man did not know about the details and did not deliberately ask about it.

Lu Qiyuan suing the three of them at the same time was news that had spread long ago.

Everyone did not know whether to be shocked that Lu Qiyuan actually went all out to ruin his kin, even suing his own daughter, or to be shocked that Lu Qiyuan’s wife and daughter actually colluded with outsiders to harm Lu Qiyuan.

They heard many stories of husband and wife falling out, where the husband sued the wife and the wife sued the husband. Such incidents were fairly common.

But not even letting off their children, such cases were fairly uncommon.

Normally, even if the child made a grave mistake, the parents would still tolerate it and cover up for them.

Even if they did something that harmed their family or their own interests, most parents would really not bear to be so ruthless.

How many wastrels had harmed their families until they went bankrupt? But their parents still clenched their teeth and swallowed the bitter pill. They did not do anything to their kids.

However, the dramatic situation that the Lu family was in was really quite uncommon.

The family of three had double-crossed each other in a full circle.

Everyone understood that pretty well. That Lu Qi was fine, but Xia Qingyang went in.

If anyone said that Lu Qi played no part in setting Xia Qingyang up, they would not believe it even if they died.

So, none of the three of them was spotless. All of them were accusing each other of being the bad guy.

“Xia Qingyang admitted voluntarily that all the crimes were committed by her. Xia Qingyang claimed resolutely that Lu Qi and He Zhengbai did not know about all these things, that she was the one who’d transferred all these assets to Lu Qi’s name,” Han Zhuoli said.

“On that day when Xia Qingyang went to confess, Lu Qi and He Zhengbai claimed their marriage certificates,” Han Zhuoli said.

Lu Man understood it immediately. She could not help but shake her head. “Looking at this, it’s probably Xia Qingyang who took the rap for them. I just didn’t expect that Xia Qingyang would use this as a condition to ask for Lu Qi and He Zhengbai to get married. This was the first time He Zhengbai had been tricked and Lu Qi could only cooperate.”

Lu Man had guessed all of those points correctly.

She knew way too well how selfish He Zhengbai and Lu Qi were.
