She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 1182
Chapter 1182: Goodbye, Second Brother (2)
Lu Nanze was lying on the bed.
He was in a daze, watching his father berating him.
He hadn’t known about what had happened back then. It was only much later that he found out what his father had done to Qiao Lian.
At the time, he had had no idea how he would face her again.
And now… Dad was standing before him, berating him as though those acts were fully justifiable.
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down, suddenly feeling frustrated.
The fact was that he felt lost.
This was his father. Even if he wasn’t the nicest guy around, he was the only family he had. He should protect his own father because he himself wasn’t a good person either.
He was the sort of person who would sacrifice anything for his own gain.
But now he suddenly felt that what he had done in the past was wrong.
Since Qiao Lian had injured her head to defend her child, to the extent that she had almost died, he had started to reflect upon himself.
Right up to now…
He suddenly understood what Shen Liangchuan had said once.
“Like” was when one plucked a flower for himself, so that he could fully own it.
“Love” was to painstakingly cherish it, to protect it from storms, for the sake of the flower itself.
In the past, Qiao Lian had always insisted that he didn’t love her.
What about now?
Lu Nanze hung his head and narrowed his eyes.
He knew that he would only have the chance to compete with Shen Liangchuan if he sent his father to the police.
But now…
Lu Nanze slowly lifted his head and looked at Dad Lu. He said after a pause, “I understand, Dad.”
Immediately, Dad Lu sighed in relief. He took a step forward and patted Lu Nanze on the shoulder. Lowering his head after a moment, he said, “Good son. I knew you wouldn’t abandon your father.”
After saying this, he turned to look at Qiao Yiyi and said, “And what about her?”
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly said after a pause, “You wish to marry into the Lu family?”
Qiao Yiyi nodded.
Lu Nanze lowered his eyelids and said, “I’ll give you two choices. One, you may marry into the Lu family, however this depends on your sincerity. Two, I let your dad go. Between these two choices, you decide for yourself. Now, both of you please leave. I want some peace and quietness.”
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank and an expression of crazed delight started to spread across her face.
Clenching her fists and looking at Lu Nanze, she said after a pause, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
She turned around and headed out right away.
Just as Qiao Yiyi walked out of the ward, she ran into Qiao Lian. Hardly able to contain her overflowing joy and ecstasy, she smiled broadly and exclaimed, “Qiao Lian, did you hear that? Second Brother will not let go of me, he likes me!”
After she had said this, she smiled again and said, “Second Brother is going to marry me! Second Brother is going to marry me!”
Qiao Lian looked at Qiao Yiyi. It seemed as though the woman had overlooked the implications of Lu Nanze’s words.
If she wanted to marry into the Lu family, then she would have to persuade Qiao Zhigang to admit that he had hired those men to harm Qiao Lian and, on top of that, destroy the account book.
But this woman seemed entirely oblivious to the fact that he was her father.
Frightening, it was too frightening. Her obsession had made her cast aside her own family.
