Chapter 19: I Am Your Daughter Too
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Watching his wife and daughter care for Lu Man despite being wronged, the guilt within Lu Qiyuan immediately dissipated. It was replaced by a stronger surge of anger.
“Look at how caring your mother and sister are towards you! Yet you still framed and hurt your sister! How could you be so evil!” Lu Qiyuan pointed at Lu Man and scolded furiously.
Lu Man’s lips trembled. “Dad…”
“Don’t call me ‘Dad’! I, Lu Qiyuan, do not have such an evil and ruthless daughter!” Lu Qiyuan waved his hand indignantly as if Lu Man was a pile of smelly rubbish — if she got any closer it would make him feel dirty.
“What exactly did I do? I barely uttered a word ever since I have entered yet you just hit me? Even if I had angered you, you still have to tell me! What was that slap for?” Lu Man asked cryingly, still cradling her cheek.
Xia Qingyang gaze shifted. There was something different about Lu Man today.
In the past, Lu Man would not even let Xia Qingyang touch her. She would have already pushed her hand away, refusing her touch.
Thus every time this would happen, it would make Lu Qiyuan more infuriated and hate Lu Man even more.
On the other hand, Lu Man, refusing to back down, would aggressively fight with Lu Qiyuan.
That was how they became so distant and cold towards each other.
However, right now, Lu Man did not shove her away, neither did she angrily told her to leave her alone upon seeing her face. Lu Man did not even immediately fight with Lu Qiyuan head-on after what he said.
Even Lu Qi sensed this change and hid the emotions well in her eyes. With tears still in her eyes, she walked towards Lu Qiyuan and grabbed his elbow gently, “Dad, I’m alright. Don’t fight with Elder Sister because of me.”
Initially, he already felt apologetic towards Lu Man’s reply. However, after seeing his younger daughter’s pitiful look, he recalled the difficulties he had put her through all these years.
His younger daughter continued to plea pitifully. She was his own flesh and blood, yet he could not declare it proudly.
And Lu Man?
She had everything. To the outside world, she was the Young Mistress of the Lu family. However, as the step-daughter, Lu Qi could never live proudly and freely.
So what was wrong with getting Lu Man to give in to Lu Qi more to repay her?
Lu Man smiled bitterly. Anyway, she never had any hope towards Lu Qiyuan.
However, Lu Qiyuan’s words had shattered what remained of their father-daughter relationship.
“As an elder sister, how could you frame your younger sister? She even had to go to the police station. How dare you ask me what’s wrong?”
“Frame?” Lu Man looked incredulously at Lu Qi. “Was that what you told Dad?”
“The police need evidence to arrest someone. What could I have done to frame her? Create fake evidence for the police? Did Lu Qi tell you how she had brought the police to my room to arrest me? She demanded them to take me to the police station, insisting that I was the culprit. Thankfully, the police arrest people based on concrete evidence. I have an alibi and concrete evidence that I didn’t even go to that director’s room.”
“On the other hand, if Lu Qi was innocent, how would she even know that the director was injured in the room? How could she have insisted that I was the culprit? Luckily, I kept the texts that she sent to me, proving she was the one who had actually gone to that director’s room. Honestly, I don’t believe that you didn’t already know why would an insignificant assistant like me go to the director’s room? Ultimately, actors still interact more with the director.”
“It was entirely the police who brought her to the police station. What does that have to do with me? Dad, I know you love and care for Lu Qi a lot. To you, I can’t even compare to a strand of her hair. But you shouldn’t treat me like this!” Tears streamed down Lu Man’s face. “For Lu Qi’s sake, how could you wrongly accuse me? I am your daughter too! The same blood flow in our veins!”

Chapter 20: More Despicable Than Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In her previous life, whenever Lu Man was faced with any injustice, she would always say “I am your biological daughter, not her” in a fit of anger.
And once she would say that, Lu Qiyuan would strangely become even more infuriated and treat Lu Qi much better.
Back then, she did not know that her words increased Lu Qiyuan’s guilt towards Lu Qi, as Lu Qi was also his biological daughter.
But now, she would not be as foolish as before.
“You still have the cheek to say that!” Lu Qiyan pointed at Lu Man furiously. “Zhengbai has treated you so well, yet you chose to throw yourself at Han Zhuoli. Do you really think that something can happen between you and Han Zhuoli? He’s just playing with you, that’s all. How could you be so despicable!”
Lowering her head, Lu Man smiled sarcastically. I am despicable?
Could she be even more despicable than Xia Qingyang and Lu Qi?
Xia Qingyang had seduced her brother-in-law., yet afraid to ruin his reputation, Lu Qiyuan always refused to admit that Lu Qi was his biological daughter.
Hahaha!
In fact, Lu Qi was only two years younger to her!
When Lu Qiyuan had her divorced mother, Lu Man was 14 years old and Lu Qi was already 12 years old.
Thus Lu Qiyuan and Xia Qingyang had already been sneaking around then, for at least 13 years!
So how dare Lu Qiyuan point his finger at her and call her despicable?
In her previous life, despite knowing that Lu Qi was a third-party and had stolen He Zhengbai from Lu Man, Lu Qiyuan had never called Lu Qi despicable. Somehow he even felt that Lu Qi was more worthy of being with He Zhengbai.
Anyway, to Lu Qiyuan, logic was worthless. Everything was always Lu man’s fault.
Shouldn’t she be used to this already?
Lu Man held onto her swollen cheek. “I’ve already broken up with He Zhengbai a long time ago. There’s no ‘betrayal’ to speak of. However, if you really talk about betrayal then let me tell you, he has already betrayed me. He was probably like you and felt that Lu Qi was better than me. That’s why even when he was still with me, he got together with Lu Qi.”
When Lu Man glanced at Lu Qi’s bare neck, she saw that the necklace was no longer there
Remembering how He Zhengbai pledged his love for her and had sworn that he would always treat her well, she felt utterly disgusted.
He Zhengbai had even cursed at Lu Qi insulted her calling her vicious and how Lu Man was miles above her.
Lu Man smiled bitterly. “Once I found out, I broke up with him so that the two lovebirds could be together. After all, even if I had told you about it, anyway you would have made me do so.”
Ever since she was young when had she not given in to Lu Qi?
Her mother had given in to Xia Qingyang, and even Lu Qiyuan also made her give in to Xia Qingyang’s daughter.
Disgust rose up Lu Man’s throat, making her nauseous.
What about Lu Qiyuan? Upon hearing Lu Man’s words, he unexpectedly displayed a face of righteousness.
He did not believe that Lu Qi stole He Zhengbai. All he thought was He Zhengbai had good taste and knew that Lu Qi was better that Lu Man.
After all, between a popular starlet and a celebrity’s assistant, isn’t it obvious who is the better?
On the other hand, if Lu Man had dared to steal Lu Qi’s boyfriend, she was just being shameless.
The expression on Lu Qiyuan’s face explained everything. Seeing it Lu Man completely and irrevocably gave up.
“Thankfully I’m with Han Zhuoli. If not, wouldn’t it be too unfair to me?” Lu Man mocked bitterly. “Why not just come straight to the point and tell me why you told me to come back?”
“I’m your father! What kind of attitude is this!” Lu Qiyuan reprimanded furiously.
Unlike Lu Qi’s, he could not even find a hint of admiration or respect on Lu Man’s face.
She had already completely given up on him. Also if pretending to be pitiful could not even garner any empathy or pity from him, what was the point of pretending anymore?
Lu Qiyuan had already made a joke of himself. After hitting and scolding her, how dare he ask for her respect.
