Chapter 2219: Only Have You

“What if she’d been able to tell or she suspected that the two of us ganged up to coax her into this? It’s fine for me, but if she knew that as her biological daughter, you still wanted to deceive her and set her up, how do you think she would feel?”

Lu Qi’s heart sank. She hesitated and did not speak.

“So that’s why I deliberately appeared to hesitate, as if I didn’t have time to consider this problem. If I considered it in front of her face, she would then wholeheartedly choose to believe it,” He Zhengbai said in the end.

Lu Qi retracted her gaze from He Zhengbai and heard He Zhengbai say in a somber voice, “Lu Qi, the two of us will get married. And from the start, when we were still dating until now, we have come so far and for so long. We should trust each other more and more. But the exact opposite happened. You’re more and more distrustful of me and keep being suspicious of me.

“Didn’t your father slowly distance himself from your mother because she always suspects him for no reason?” He Zhengbai said. “I don’t want us to be like that.. Qi Qi, you have to trust me. If we don’t even have the most basic trust between us, how are we supposed to continue being together?”

Lu Qi scoffed in her heart.

She indeed did not trust him.

He was already starting to threaten her now. Was he laying the path for them to not be able to get along with each other?

But Lu Qi was just like He Zhengbai. She did not express her discontent and displeasure on the surface.

“I know, I thought too much about it,” Lu Qi said weakly. “You know this, that my dad… my dad clearly doesn’t care about me and my mom anymore. I am no longer the Miss Lu who had everything in the past.

“Now, I want a job but don’t have it. I want a background, but I don’t have that either. My dad has abandoned me and my mom, so in the future, everything the Lu family has will definitely not have anything to do with me. On top of that, he has a new lover now.”

Seeing the stunned expression on He Zhengbai’s face, Lu Qi continued, “You will know about this sooner or later anyway. And we are about to get married, so I won’t hide it from you. My dad found a new girlfriend. Judging from his behavior, he intended to divorce my mom from the start too.

“After this, maybe my status in the Lu family would become like that of Lu Man in the past, and I might even end up worse than her.”

Lu Qi turned to stare at him and said, “The things that you value, I have none of that now.”

Lu Qi wiped her tears and said, “I’m not so naive to think that your love for me supersedes everything else and you would not be calculative about everything. For people like us, it’s impossible to only talk about love. More important is the family that we come from.

“Back when you abandoned Lu Man, for instance, and your family supported you getting together with me, it’s also because of my dad.” Lu Qi choked and said. “But now, things are different. I no longer have my dad’s support, and I am even worse off than Lu Man was in the past.

“At least, at that time, Lu Man did not betray my dad beforehand. Although my dad disliked her, he did not go all out to ruin her. But it’s different for me—” Lu Qi trembled as she took a deep breath. “I know that my dad sued me together with you both because I helped you, and I betrayed him.

“So he no longer treats me like his daughter. Plus, he has a new lover now… How would he still care about me?”

“For you, I betrayed my dad and lied to my mom.” Lu Qi stared deeply at him. “For you, I lost everything. I lost all my support. My dad and mom are no longer by my side. I only have you now.”

Lu Qi’s eyes reddened and tears welled up in them, ready to fall any moment. “That’s why I feel so insecure now.”
