21 Ism Not Even the Culprit. So Why Should I Turn Myself In? (1/2)
In the past, it was not that Lu Qiyuan was never good to her.
Back when she was little, there were still a lot of difficulties in the family and Xia Qingyang had yet to appear.
Lu Qiyuan also felt bad for making Xia Qingwei suffer with him. Also, every time he came home, he would carry her onto his lap. He would call her the most obedient and best daughter, and that she was the little princess of this family.
Yet now, looking at Lu Qiyuan, she could no longer remember the smile on Lu Qiyuan's face back when he was nice to her.
”Well then, you should at least treat me like a daughter. From the time you divorced Mom and remarried, you only have had eyes for Lu Qi. You have long forgotten about this daughter of yours. How else do you want me to treat you?” Lu Man put her hand down, revealing the red and swollen palm-sized mark on her cheek.
She wanted Lu Qiyuan to remember exactly how he slapped her just now.
After hitting her, he still expects her respect?
What a joke!
Nevertheless, no matter what she does, it would not make Lu Qiyuan more objective and fair, thus there was no point in putting down her self-esteem just to make Lu Qiyuan feel better.
Hence she will behave exactly how it should be. At least that would make her feel better.
However, upon seeing the swollen injury on Lu Man's face, the awkward expression in Lu Qiyuan's eyes disappeared in a flash. Guilt filled his chest though only for a brief second. He felt that the palm-sized mark on her face was just too distracting.
Remembering how he was the one who made that mark, he was even more unwilling to face the truth. He started detesting Lu Man's face even more.
Moreover, after hearing Lu Man speak about him and Xia Qingyang, he felt even more sorry towards Xia Qingwei.
He knew that he was at fault, yet he was unwilling to face his own mistakes and reluctant to admit that he had let Xia Qingwei down.
Thus as long as he could hide the truth from himself and others and not think about it, it would be as if it had never happened.
