He had always felt that Lu Manman would only belong to him, even though he had never looked forward to it. He had experiences with all sorts of women, and the last thing he was interested in was someone like Lu Manman. She might seem like a sweet and innocent girl, but she was actually boring.
But someone else had slept with her.
He felt a bubble of anger rise in him, but he could not vent it!
He had no idea why he cared so much! Or perhaps he had never liked it when his things were being used by others!
He was used to people not getting what he could not obtain either. He would rather ruin it than let anyone else have it!
He narrowed her eyes.
He picked up his cell phone and made a call. “Uncle Lu.”
“Wen Yun.”
“Get ready tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry. We did all of that just to frame Lu Zishan and Lu Manman. I will make sure that they have scandals for a long time and can never clear their names. Let’s continue with our plan!” Lu Zishan said as he smiled deviously.
“Mm-hm,” Wen Yun answered.
He hung up.
Lu Manman, do you remember what I said before? Someday, I will make you beg me on your knees!
But tomorrow, you will know what I’m capable of. I’m someone that you and Mo Yuanxiu can never compete with!
…
Lu Manman returned to the Lu family’s villa.
Lu Zishan and He Xiuwen were having tea on the balcony.
Ever since He Xiuwen got married to Lu Zishan, she had given up her high education so that she could take care of her husband and child at home. When she was young, she used to think that her parents were the most blissful couple on earth. They treated each other well and never quarreled. From their words, one could see the trust and love they had for each other.
Lu Manman smiled and did not disturb them. She turned around and headed to the second floor.
In your lifetime, who would accompany you the most?
Your partner.
As she had yearned for a marriage like her parents’ when she was young, she had harbored high hopes for love. After she met Wen Yun, she had given everything she had just so that they could spend the rest of their lives together.
She entered the bathroom and took a shower.
Laying in the bathtub, she looked at the beautiful mirror above her that reflected her pale face.
This life, she really had to start all over again!
…
The day went by very quickly.
The following morning.
Her father was taken to court in advance.
Lu Manman and Wu Jun arrived shortly after.
They got ready in the waiting room.
Wu Jun took out the documents in his hands and said to Lu Manman, “I’ve been working overtime over the past two days to sort out your father’s case. According to our country’s penal code, if your father’s criminal record is valid, he will be sentenced to three to five years in jail. I can only try to shorten it to two and a half years so that there’s hope.”
“Thank you for the trouble, Lawyer Wu.” Lu Manman was very grateful.
“Don’t mention it,” Wu Jun said with some regret. “It’s a pity that Mr. Lu was framed, and there’s no evidence to prove it.”
Lu Manman forced a smile. “We’ll leave it to fate then. This is how society works.”
Wu Jun nodded helplessly as if he could not find the words to comfort her.
“I won’t hold you up from your preparations for the trial. I’ll be leaving first and will be waiting in the audience seats.”
“Yes.”
Lu Manman walked out and sat in the audience.
There were not many people around.
There were only a few people around her, and she knew some of them.
She had arrived early, and the reporters were not at the entrance yet.
