Chapter 620: The Feeling of Being in Control
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Shaoxian’s pitiful state in the photo left Lu’s family in shock. They wondered who would dare attack a member of the Ye family.
Lu Qi, retrieving her phone, gestured toward the contracts. “Sign these, and I might let you go—on the condition you disappear from my life. Consider it my final repayment for your ‘parenting.'”
She was ready to sever ties and leave the past behind.
Her stepmother protested, “How can you be so heartless? Where will we go?”
“Where you go isn’t my problem. Not signing?” Lu Qi’s voice, though hoarse, was firm. “Xu Yi, assist them.”
Xu Yi promptly ensured the contracts were signed, and the trio was escorted out amid their pleas.
“Lu Qi, please! We were wrong,” her stepmother begged.
“I’ll change, I promise!” her stepsister chimed in.
Lu Qi, unmoved, watched them leave. Showing sympathy now would only encourage their manipulation.
Once they were gone, Lu Qi slumped on the couch, exhaling deeply. “Being in control is daunting. I was so nervous, but it felt empowering.”
Rong Qi looked at Lu Qi’s almost destroyed home and smirked, “Are you really going to leave your father to his fate?”
“Of course! When he sold me to Ye Shaoxian, did he care about my fate? I have nothing to do with them now. The pany and the villa are mine, and once they’re renovated, I’ll be back on my feet!”
“I’ll leave someone to protect you,” Rong Qi offered.
Lu Qi nodded but appeared troubled. “But what about the pany? You and Mr. Lu acted too quickly in buying it. I-I really don’t know anything about business or medicinal materials. You’ve seen my terrible grades at Capital University…”
“The villa is my responsibility,” Rong Qi clarified. “Whoever bought the pany will be responsible for it. Since Lu Congzhou took it over, let him handle it. What do you think?”
“Ah, is that okay? Won’t it trouble him?” Lu Qi blushed, her heart racing at the thought of more opportunities to interact with Lu Congzhou.
Rong Qi arrived at the Ye residence, greeted by Ye Nanshen in the backyard.
“Feeling better?” he asked, wrapping her in a warm embrace.
“Much,” she replied, her smile genuine.
On a rare sunny day, Ye Nanshen took Rong Qi for a stroll in the garden, leading her to a corner and presenting her with something from behind his back like a treasure..
