Lu Huaijiao spoke calmly.
Those usually friendly eyes now held a faint indifference, devoid of anger or resentment, only an indifference that made one feel as if it were none of their business.
Some say that the greatest sorrow is a broken heart, which probably describes Lu Huaijiao's current state.
Or rather, she wasn't actually sad.
She may seem foolish, but she sees things more clearly than anyone else. Some things have already happened, and no matter how much you hate the other person or how much you want to kill them, it's useless.
Being unable to let go of the past, holding onto toxic enemies or unhappy events in your heart, is just punishing yourself.
No need, absolutely no need.
When Lu Huaijiao brought it up, Lu Zhengde suddenly realized that he hadn't really taken care of Lu Huaijiao much over the years.
He spent most of his time getting entangled with Qin Lan...
"Jiaojiao..."
Even now, Lu Zhengde may feel some regret and guilt.
"Jiaojiao, I..."
"Alright, my mother has already passed away. The harm you caused her is irreversible no matter how much you regret it. Instead of wasting your time regretting in front of me, you should be thinking about how to make a living in the Northwest."
Lu Huaijiao interrupted Lu Zhengde and slowly stood up.
Looking down at the father he used to rely on so much, he glanced at him.
"Dad, take care."
She will not forgive Lu Zhengde.
She has no right to forgive a traitor on behalf of her deceased mother.
This "take care" was only because he gave birth to her; from then on, they were strangers, and Lu Zhengde's life or death was no longer her concern.
"Jiaojiao..."
Lu Zhengde also understood what Lu Huaijiao meant.
He stood up as well, looking at Lu Huaijiao with pleading eyes, looking utterly pitiful.
Lu Huaijiao didn't want to listen to Lu Zhengde anymore, so she turned and left.
Behind me came Lu Zhengde's voice.
"Jiaojiao, I... I really... can't forgive Daddy? Daddy just made a mistake that any man would make. Daddy still loves you..."
Listen to the tone of Lu Zhengde's voice.
What do you mean by "just making a mistake that any man would make"?
Does this mean all men will have mistresses and cheat on their partners?
Lu Huaijiao paused, looked up at the man beside her: "Gu Changzheng, would you make such a mistake?"
"Won't."
Gu Changzheng answered without any hesitation and with unwavering certainty.
After saying that, he glanced at the dejected Lu Zhengde and added in a nonchalant tone, "Not all men are like you, unable to cherish the person in front of them, nor are all men like you, unable to control their lower bodies."
So Lu Zhengde shouldn't say that he just made a mistake that any man would make.
Not everyone is like him.
Lu Zhengde was rendered speechless by Gu Changzheng's rebuttal. Perhaps now he truly understands that he was wrong before...
…………
After leaving Lu Zhengde's side, Lu Huaijiao went to the women's prison to 'visit' Qin Yanhua.
Lu Huaijiao was much happier when dealing with Qin Yanhua than she was with Lu Zhengde. Especially when she saw Qin Yanhua with her hair disheveled and looking like a madwoman, her eyes wide open as if she wanted to devour her, Lu Huaijiao was even happier.
She sat down opposite Qin Yanhua, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Hey, Qin Yanhua, what happened to you? You look terrible, it's not like you at all."
Qin Lan already hated Lu Huaijiao to the core, and now, hearing Lu Huaijiao's sarcastic remarks, her eyes were filled with hatred that wished they could turn into knives and tear Lu Huaijiao to pieces.
And what about Lu Huaijiao? She didn't give Qin Lan a kind look either.
If Lu Zhengde is foolish, pathetic, and of poor character, then Qin Yanhua is venomous.
Su Xiaowan took pity on her and pulled her out of the cannibalistic vortex of the Qin family, even finding her a job as a waitress in a restaurant...
Anyone with a shred of conscience should know that Su Xiaowan was her benefactor.
I wouldn't expect to repay such kindness by working like a slave, but I certainly wouldn't be like Qin Yanhua, who is ungrateful, a mistress, and schemes against someone else's husband...
Although Lu Zhengde, a college student, was very tempting to Qin Yanhua in the village, there are some things that, no matter how tempting, should not be looked at for more than a second.
Because we are human beings.
As human beings, we must learn to control our desires! We must know what we can and cannot do.
However, it is clear that Qin Yanhua is not human, because what she did is something that no human being could do.
Qin Yanhua heard the sarcasm in Lu Huaijiao's voice. She raised her head and stared intently at Lu Huaijiao.
"Lu Huaijiao, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
"Oh, yes, you guessed it!" Lu Huaijiao smiled, completely unconcerned about Qin Yanhua's face, which was about to explode with anger.
The angrier Qin Yanhua was, the happier she was.
Well, she admitted that her hobby was a bit perverse, but it didn't matter, since Qin Yanhua was her enemy, right? Seeing her enemy so angry but unable to do anything about it made her happiest.
Qin Yanhua's face was almost contorted. With her handcuffed hands supporting her on the table, she stood up and leaned forward, trying to bite Lu Huaijiao.
"Lu Huaijiao, you bitch..."
With the table separating them, Qin Yanhua naturally couldn't catch Lu Huaijiao.
But some saliva inevitably sprayed over.
