Xia Qingyang suddenly felt guilty and had an ominous feeling.
Lu Qi did not know that and said, "Weren't you pretty good at pacifying him in the past? You could make him happy and coax him until he's muddled to the point that he can even abandon his biological daughter Lu Man. You already pacified him for most of your life, why can't you persist with it now?"
Xia Qingyang pursed her lips.
She'd already pretended for most of her life, but that was not her personality at all.
She pretended for decades, which was really insufferable.
Seeing that her status was more secured now, she had to have a bit more freedom.
She wanted to be herself. She did not want to tire herself out.
"Your dad has already left," Xia Qingyang said.
"What do you mean?" Lu Qi almost stuttered. "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve! What do you mean he left?"
"We just had a quarrel. I don't know where he went. I… I tried to stop him, but I couldn't."
