Chapter 458: If Xuanji Had Been Willing to Abide by My Arrangement, How Could I Bear to Destroy Her?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Yan’s broad, muscular body cast a dark and oppressive shadow before her. He narrowed his brown eyes and peered down at her.

Lu Qi’er’s heart thumped. She recollected the kidnapping incident at the warehouse, during which she had nearly murdered An’an and him.

“Big… Big Brother…” She gave two short laughs.

Bam!

The bodyguard had forcefully slapped her across her face.

Lu Qi’er was caught off guard. This slap caused her to fall directly onto the ground. Her mouth tasted something metallic and she felt her tooth becoming shaky.

No one had even been so audacious to slap her, let alone a lowly bodyguard.

“Ah!” Lu Qi’er gave a shrill cry and swiftly looked up at Lu Yan. “Big Brother, how could you let someone else hit me? What have I done wrong?”

Lu Yan’s coarse, large hand stuck into his pants pocket to retrieve a pack of cigarettes. He placed a cigarette onto his thin lips, knitted his brows and lit up the cigarette. The smoke swirled around swiftly, blurring his handsome face.

“Is it really you who can call Big Brother? Think carefully. What should you be calling him?” The bodyguard admonished angrily.

“Big Brother, Iー”

Bam!

The bodyguard forcefully dealt Lu Qi’er with another resounding slap.

She had used the wrong words again.

From now onwards, every single time that she used the wrong words, the bodyguard would slap her once. He would not be merciful at all.

Lu Qi’er spat out a mouthful of blood and even one tooth.

Her tooth had fallen due to the sheer force of the slap.

Lu Qi’er shivered from head to toe. With the exception of her, the whole of Capital knew that Lu Yan could be a heavy-handed and intimidating man. In the past, she had only deemed him to be a beggar that her father had brought back home, but now she was aware how scary this man could be.

“Yan… Master Yan, I am wrong. I will not dare to use the wrong term again…” Lu Qi’er said while trembling.

Lu Yan took a puff of his cigarette, then took down his cigarette with his long fingers. He raised his head and puffed out some smoke nonchalantly, then stuck his hand into his pocket and said in a low voice, “Be more careful in the future. Don’t you dare go against me again, hm?”

After that, Lu Yan turned around and left.

Lu Qi’er glanced at Lu Yan’s handsome, indolent retreating back and her limbs turned icy-cold. She knew that this man had given her a warning.

At this point, Tang Hai walked over and stretched his hand out to lift her up. “Qi’er, you are no longer the daughter of the Lu family. Gu Mohan and Lu Yan can find fault with you anytime. You have to be cautious and not provoke them anymore. They are vicious people and it’s all your fault to have made so many mistakes in the past to incur their wrath.”

Lu Qi’er swiftly slapped away Tang Hai’s hand and said coldly, “Tang Hai, am I not your daughter? They have bullied me. I don’t hold it against you that you are unable to protect me, but are you sneering at me now? If you had not swapped Tang Mo’er and myself for your own selfish desires, would I have become what I am today?”

Tang Hai looked at Lu Qi’er’s spiteful look and was engulfed by a plethora of emotions, shame, resentment, regret and hatred. “Qi’er, you go home with Daddy first.”

“Go home with you? What ability do you have to bring me home? You can go first, I still have things to do!”

Lu Qi’er did not reject Tang Hai outright. Qin Yawen was already imprisoned. Tang Hai was the Mayor after all and she could still rely on him in times of need.

However, she did not plan to acknowledge Tang Hai, nor would she let matters rest. She was not ready to concede defeat and wanted to turn things around in her favor.

Lu Qi’er brushed aside Tang Hai and dialed for a cab.

…

In the cab.

Lu Qi’er whipped out her phone and dialed a number. There was a ringing sound and the phone was picked up on the other line.

“Hello.” An elderly but energetic voice came through the phone.

“Grandfather, you have to help me this time. Daddy he…”

Old Master Lin immediately cut off Lu Qi’er’s sentence. “Qi’er, why should I help you now? You are already not part of the Lin family. You are simply an imposter. Now that the truth has been revealed, you are already worthless to us. Why would I still invest in you?”

“Grandfather!” Lu Qi’er gave a shrill cry. She was sent to the Lin family shortly after she was born. Old Master Lin had doted upon her and cared for her tenderly. She would never have imagined that Old Master Lin would turn his back on her now.

“Grandfather, you don’t love me anymore? You did love me. When I was younger, you let me pretend to be Lin Shiyu in the matter regarding Fu Qinglun, I…”

“And so, Qi’er, I have done what I can for you. Fu Qinglun has always thought you are the girl from his childhood. I will never reveal this secret. You can still continue to rely on Fu Qinglun.”

Old Master Lin abruptly hung up the phone.

“Hello, hello?!” Lu Qi’er was so incensed that she nearly threw her phone to the ground. This grandfather had turned his back on her so quickly.

…

The Lin residence.

In the study room.

The butler served Old Master Lin a cup of tea and said in a hushed voice, “Old Master, isn’t it too early to kick away Lu Qi’er? Lu Jinwen…”

Old Master Lin drank a mouthful of tea and his turbid eyes sparked with anticipation. “Don’t worry, Xuanyin is going to wake soon.”

“First Young Madam?” The butler was overjoyed. “That’s wonderful! First Young Madam is finally going to wake up. In the past, First Young Madam was able to dominate over Lu Jinwen, allowing us to use Lu Jinwen’s wealth in Capital. With Lu Jinwen as our backer, the Lin family will never collapse.”

“Hmph,” Old Master Lin responded in a relaxed tone. But it was uncertain what struck his mind again, as he suddenly smashed the cup of tea viciously onto the floor. “That wretched Lin Xuanji is to be blamed. My daughters have to gain the biggest profits for the Lin family, but she was brazen enough to disobey my words and reject the betrothal. She even caused Xuanyin to be unconscious for so many years and I had no choice but to nurture Lu Qi’er, that imposter!”

“Among my daughters, Lin Xuanji is the most beautiful and talented. If she had been willing to abide by my arrangement, why would I bear to destroy her and place my hopes on Xuanyin instead? Xuanyin is incomparable to Xuanji.”

“Old Master, please don’t concern yourself over this. Second Young Madam has disappeared and will never return.”

Old Master Lin’s eyes darkened. “But no one can take advantage of what the Lin family offers and disobey my wishes. Both Lin Xuanji and Lin Shiyu must be punished!”

…

In the cab.

Lu Qi’er was still fuming. Suddenly, a melodious sound of the cell phone ring tone was heard.

She glanced down. It was her manager.

In the entertainment industry, Fu Qinglun had handled everything for her and even her manager was an A-list manager. However, her popularity had declined due to the pregnancy incident previously and she had not been performing for a very long time.

She could still sing and make a name for herself again.

Lion had already written songs for her. She might be popular once again. She would rise up again!

“Hello, Sister Moon, Lion’s songs have already been written, right? When can I start recording singles?”

“What recording singles? Lu Qi’er, you are in big trouble!”

“What do you mean?”

“When Lion signed the contract with us, it was stipulated that she would write you songs under one condition. That condition is you need to have more than sixty million followers on your Weibo account, failing which the contract will be deemed as breached. Now, Lion has written ten songs, but there are not even eight followers on your Weibo, let alone eighty million followers. Everyone wants you to back out of the entertainment industry. Lion did come out with songs but you will not be able to sing them anymore. Based on the contract, you are required to compensate a sum of money, which is a hundred times the worth of the ten songs for the breach of contract!”
