He did not expect her to fall into the trap so soon.

Lu Qiyuan had it coming for choosing such a wife.

”Mom, what were you going to say?” Lu Qi was dragged by Xia Qingyang to the end of the corridor. She turned her head, only to see He Zhengbai standing far away from the entrance of the operating theater.

It was as though he was aware that she was watching. He turned his head and smiled at Lu Qi.

It was then that Lu Qi said to Xia Qingyang, ”What is it that you can't talk to me about later when we are alone? Why must you pull me away in front of Big Brother He as though he is an outsider and we are hiding things from him?”

”Since your father is in the operating theater, it is inconvenient to talk there. Later, when your father's operation finishes, it will be even more inconvenient. Is there anyone beside him to accompany him? It is uncertain when he will wake up. If he wakes up and doesn't see us beside him, given his narrow-minded temperament, he will definitely feel that we are not sincere,” Xia Qingyang explained quietly. This was also why she could talk to Lu Qi only at that moment.

Lu Qi listened and said, ”What exactly is it about?”

Xia Qingyang held Lu Qi's hand. ”When I tried to sound out your father previously, guess what? Your father actually has plans to distribute one part of his estate to Lu Man. He even wants to divide it equally between you two, with no bias whatsoever!”

Lu Qi was so shocked that she forgot He Zhengbai's existence. ”Is my father crazy?”

”Lower your voice!” Xia Qingyang covered Lu Qi's mouth.

Lu Qi took a deep breath, removed Xia Qingyang's hand, and turned to look at He Zhengbai.
