Chapter 706: So It Turns Out That She Was Quite Lousy?

Of course, Lu Man couldn’t compare to Lu Qi.

“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too!”

He Zhengbai paused for a moment and said, “Oh, right, how’s Uncle’s company coming along? I heard that a problem cropped up with the factory in the south, is that right? Is Uncle back yet?”

Lu Qi froze and forced out a smile. “Who did you hear that from? It’s all just rumors. My family’s factory is still doing well. My dad isn’t back yet because he is still really busy. Hasn’t it been like this all along? The person who spread this rumor is too ridiculous! My family’s company is still doing well.”

“I haven’t visited Auntie in a while,” He Zhengbai then said.

Lu Qi hurriedly clung onto He Zhengbai’s arm. “Go back with me, then.”

This would let Xia Qingyang stop worrying too.

Because recently, He Zhengbai seldom came to their place. He was busy with directing stuff and wanted to start preparing for a new show. Other people didn’t want him to be their director, so he would go at it alone and wanted to do a show with a grand scale.

So he’d been so busy that he didn’t have time to date.

Xia Qingyang was always worried that Lu Qi’s and He Zhengbai’s relationship would change.

Lu Qi had gone through much effort to finally snatch He Zhengbai from Lu Man.

After she heard that Lu Man’s current boyfriend was pretty good, Lu Qi thought she definitely couldn’t lose. If she broke up with He Zhengbai, she would definitely be embarrassed in front of Lu Man.

Moreover, she couldn’t let the He family, this big fat goose, run away again just when it’s about to enter their mouths.

Today, she got He Zhengbai to go home with her so that Xia Qingyang could stop worrying and stop nagging by her ear every day.

As expected, when Xia Qingyang saw He Zhengbai, she was extremely happy. She kept pulling He Zhengbai over to talk to him. “Zhengbai, why haven’t you come over in such a long time? I have been missing you so much every day.”

“I’ve just been a bit busy lately. I’m studying Directing, so I still want to film my own work. Recently, I’ve put all my energy in that,” He Zhengbai explained.

“You still have to rest no matter how busy you are, don’t fall ill. Come back home with Qi Qi more often, I will brew some soup for you to build up your health,” Xia Qingyang said.

In the past, he didn’t feel it. But it seemed like since Lu Man had left the Lu family, perhaps because Xia Qingyang felt that she didn’t have a competitor anymore and started relaxing and getting complacent, all her foolish antics started to show.

She even wanted to build up his health.

It wasn’t like his family didn’t have what theirs did. Why couldn’t he just go to his own home to build up his health?

Why would he still need to come here to wait for Xia Qingyang to help him?

If Lu Qi didn’t have some use and value to him, he wouldn’t even bother being so friendly with Xia Qingyang.

Talking to Xia Qingyang made him feel like his IQ was dropping.

“Did Uncle say when he was coming back? He’s been gone for quite long this time, right?” He Zhengbai asked.

Xia Qingyang froze for a moment, then smiled and said, “Soon, I think.”

Yesterday, Lu Qiyuan even made a phone call back. It seemed likely that they wouldn’t be able to keep the factory.

It would at the very least be closed and changed. Even his brand “Lu Corporation” would be affected. The Lu family would lose a lot.

“Oh, right, Mom, let me tell you a piece of good news.” Lu Qi smiled and said, “I passed the schools’ semi-finals and I’m officially in the school’s finals. As long as I can get into the top ten, I can represent the school and take part in the inter-school competition.”

“That’s great!” Xia Qingyang tossed aside the previous conversation topic and happily held on to Lu Man’s hand. “I just knew it, my daughter will shine wherever she goes. So what if Lu Man has harmed you? She can harm you for a while, but she can’t harm you forever. That’s right, did Lu Man get chosen?”

“No.” Lu Qi felt smug. “Today, the counselor read out all 18 students in the school who passed the semi-finals. Lu Man wasn’t one of them. She didn’t pass the auditions.”

Xia Qingyang instantly started smiling smugly. “So it turns out that she was quite lousy?”
