Chapter 1192 - Goodbye, Second Brother (12)

Qiao Yiyi stood at the door staring at the two men.

Until finally, Lu Nanze icily ordered for her to leave, “Why are you still here? Scram!”

“Second Brother, Second Brother, you can’t treat me like this!”

“Somebody, please take Ms. Qiao away!”

A bodyguard walked into the room.

When Qiao Yiyi saw this, she took a step back nervously and looked at Lu Nanze and Dad Lu in devastation. “You can’t treat me like this, you can’t—”

Before she could finish speaking, the bodyguard cupped his hand over her mouth and dragged her out of the room. After this, he pushed her on the ground and said, “Scram!”

The tearful Qiao Yiyi stood up, her voice hoarse from crying.

She shouted in despair, “Second Brother, Second Brother, you can’t treat me like this. You can’t treat me like this.”

She wept pitifully.

She had struggled for eight years and was finally able to marry Lu Nanze.

How could Lu Nanze do this?

How could it be possible that the baby she was carrying belonged to Zhao Yang?

She knelt on the ground in sorrow and clutched her face with her hands.

But no matter how she cried and shouted, no one came out of the room.

Qiao Yiyi sat there and stared ahead in a daze, there were no more tears left to cry.

She began to feel like she was the biggest joke in the world.

She thought she had stood to gain, but she hadn’t.

Now, her father was in jail, the account book was gone... and even the child was fake.

Everything was a lie.

All of this had been Second Brother’s doing.

His words rang in her ears, “I feel disgusted even just by looking at you.”

Those words felt like large hands squeezing her heart and strangling it.

It was so painful that she didn’t want to live.

That was how she felt right now.

With one hand clutching her chest and her other hand tightly clenched into a fist, she stared at the room as her expression clouded over with hatred.

Second Brother, since you’re so heartless towards me, then don’t blame me for being disloyal to you.

She could not come to accept this.

–

In the ward, after Qiao Yiyi had been taken away.

Dad Lu sat next to Lu Nanze’s bed.

Looking at Lu Nanze, he said after a pause, “Actually Qiao Yiyi is an alright person, why wouldn’t you even touch her?”

Lu Nanze slowly cast his gaze down and said, “I’m not you.”

Dad Lu was taken aback by those words.

Then he said, “You are still thinking about what happened with your mother?!”

Lu Nanze kept silent.

Dad Lu lowered his head and agreed, “At the time, I didn’t know any better and your mom died from being so angry at me. I know you hate me, but today I have to thank you.”

Lu Nanze lifted his head and looked at his father in disbelief as the man continued, “Thank you for destroying that account book for my sake. From now on, I can finally stop worrying.”

When Lu Nanze heard these words, that sharp pain in his heart came back momentarily.

The price he had had to pay for destroying the account book had been to ruin all possibilities of ever being together with Qiao Lian.

He smiled bitterly as he hung his head.

“Son, I know you’ve never really liked me, but I have already learnt my lesson.”

“After your mom died, I’ve never been with another woman. After I die and in my afterlife, I hope to reunite with your Mom.”

“Men, we always have trouble holding ourselves back, but I think it’s not that we can’t, rather than we won’t.”

“Nanze, Dad knows you’re the best. From now on, I’m handing the business over to you to manage.”
