“I-I’m still young,” Lu Qi continued, bursting into tears, “six years isn’t much to . I’ll blink and it’ll be over. I’ll only be 30 when I’m out, it’s okay. So I’ll take the bla solely. We have to… save everyone as much as possible.”
He Zhengbai also said lovingly, “Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll wait for Qi Qi. We’ll marry when she gets out.”
“No!” Xia Qingyang raised her voice. “How can you be so foolish!”
She snatched Lu Qi’s hand, looked at He Zhengbai, then dragged her aside, whispering, “Why is it you who’s taking the bla? The He family also gained lots of advantages during this ti. They want to just take advantage without any costs?
“Moreover, He Zhengbai’s a guy.. Any gains he made won’t be less than yours. But at the crucial ti, you’re the one taking all the bla?” Xia Qingyang lowered her voice. “Don’t be so foolish!”
“But what else can we do?” Lu Qi cried softly. “The He family would protect him for sure. Mom, we’re different from He Zhengbai. The He family will ensure He Zhengbai’s safety. What about us? Who will protect us? We can only depend on Dad, and he’s the one intent on sending us to jail this ti.
“Without him, who can we rely on?” Lu Qi sobbed. “And look at our lawyer. Had he said anything useful in front of Lawyer Huang? Lawyer Huang’s the best in this area, but that lawyer of ours? Already afraid just from seeing Lawyer Huang!
“He has no right to speak! Furthermore, even if we change lawyers, he wouldn’t be up to Lawyer Huang’s standard. The initiative’s all in the He family’s hands now.”
“Based on what!” Xia Qingyang was infuriated. “They took advantage of us and want to bear no responsibility when trouble arrives! We’re the ones paying the price instead!”
“So what? Sadly, we’re already far more disadvantaged compared to them!” Lu Qi said. “In the past, He Zhengbai and I were rather evenly matched in terms of background. But… but now that Dad’s suing us and you’re divorcing him, it ans Dad’s abandoning us. Now that he’s suing , what would the Lu family properties have to do with in the future? We no longer have the Lu family as our shield.
“I have nothing now. For the He family, it ans I’m marrying above my station. With our current situation, how can I find soone similar to He Zhengbai? Even if I like the person, he wouldn’t like ! All I can do is to never let go of He Zhengbai,” she continued.
“Silly girl! You think you can hold on to him?” Xia Qingyang pressed. “You think that by helping him shoulder the bla, he’ll really wait for you? It’s six years! You already had qualms about him when you’re with him. You won’t even be able to control him from prison! Can you really guarantee he’ll wait six years for you?
“Also, he’s just saying it nicely now.” Xia Qingyang sneaked a peek at He Zhengbai, noticing he was discussing sothing with Lawyer Huang.
Looking at He Zhengbai and Lawyer Huang, Xia Qingyang felt that they were collaborating about duping her and Lu Qi.
Just because they were the weaker party now.
She’s really regretting allowing He Zhengbai to mix into this business back then!
“He’s only trying to deceive you into helping him take the bla.”
