Chapter 5

But he was worried about Lu Wanying, so he could only raise his voice and shout a few more times.

“Wanying, Wanying, wake up. What’s wrong with you?”

Unfortunately, Lu Wanying was unconscious and could not wake up at all. Lu Qing had no choice but to go to his room and Lu Jiangyue’s room to check. Both were in a mess, all the valuables were gone, and Lu Jiangyue was not at home.

Could it be Lu Jiangyue’s doing?

No, his daughter is very timid, and Wanying still has those marks on her body…

Lu Qing could no longer care about anything else. He picked up the quilt in his room, groped his way to Lu Wanying’s bed with his eyes closed, covered her with the quilt, and then shook it violently.

“Wanying, Wanying, wake up!”

He pushed her hard several times before Lu Wanying slowly woke up. She first felt pain all over her body, and then she remembered all the tortures Lu Jiangyue had inflicted on her before she fainted. When she heard Lu Qing’s voice, she couldn’t help it. She immediately slid her hands and lifted the quilt covering her, revealing a large white body. She hugged Lu Qing and began to cry.

“Dad, you are finally back, I…”

“Sister, wuwuwu, my body hurts wuwuwuwu.”

Her tears fell, wetting her delicate and pale face, making her look so pitiful. Normally, if she just cried so vaguely, Lu Qing would be heartbroken and would immediately go to Lu Jiangyue to settle the score.

But at this moment, Lu Qing only felt embarrassed and confused, and he tried hard to push Lu Wanying away.

“Wanying, put on your clothes first. We can talk later if there’s anything.”

Lu Qing turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to look at Lu Wanying.

“What clothes?”

Lu Wanying’s crying stopped abruptly. She looked down in confusion and saw that she was naked. She screamed and quickly covered her head with the quilt.

“Ahhhhh! Dad, get out!!!”

“Okay, put on your clothes quickly, Dad has something to ask you.”

Lu Qing ran out of Lu Wanying’s room in a panic and closed the door. After a long time, Lu Wanying put on her clothes, came out shyly, and stood at the door, about to cry.

“Dad, woo woo woo.”

Tears fell before the person arrived. Lu Qing tried hard to forget the embarrassment just now. He waved to Lu Wanying to sit over.

“Wanying, come here. Dad has something to ask you. What are those marks on your body? Did someone bully you? All the valuables in the house are missing. Was it a thief who came in? Don’t be afraid. If you have any questions, just tell Dad. Dad will take care of it for you.”

Lu Qing frowned and looked at his beloved daughter with heartache. His heart was broken. The girl he had raised so pampered had to suffer such pain. What would he do in the future?

“Yes, it’s sister, wuwuwu.”

“Dad, I don’t want to tell you this. I know my sister is very sad that Mom is gone. She can’t accept it. I should have endured her beatings, but she thinks I killed Mom, which I don’t want to admit. I love Mom too. If it weren’t for you and Mom taking care of me, how could I have grown up like this? Woo woo woo.”

“There must be some misunderstanding here. Dad, please find my sister and I’ll explain things to her. We are sisters and we can’t have such conflicts. You will definitely be sad, Dad.”

“I don’t know why things in the house disappeared. They were fine before my sister knocked me out.”

Lu Wanying sobbed and told Lu Qing what had happened. In a nutshell, it was Lu Jiangyue who did it. Lu Jiangyue bullied me. Dad, you have to help me get revenge!

Lu Qing stared at Lu Wanying with a complicated expression. This time he did not blindly believe her, but hesitated to speak.

“How could Lu Jiangyue make you like this? She’s just a girl, Wanying. No matter what happens, just tell Dad and he’ll take care of it for you. Don’t be afraid.”

“Dad, what do you mean? Do you think I would lie? Wuuwuwu, when did I ever lie? She hit me and it hurt. I know. Sister Jiang Yue is Dad’s biological daughter. I was just adopted by you. I can’t compare to Sister Jiang Yue. I’ve always known this. I don’t blame you, Dad. Forget it, I’ll just cry for a while. Maybe the pain will go away in a few days.”

“I’ll go back to my room first…”

“Don’t go, Wanying, Dad didn’t mean that. Dad has always cared about you the most. What nonsense are you talking about? Aren’t you saying this to make Dad sad? Dad didn’t mean to say you were lying, it’s just…”

“Are you in pain?”

Lu Qing found it difficult to speak. He was a man, how could he ask a girl such a private matter?

“It hurts, it hurts so much.”

As Lu Wanying spoke, she threw herself into Lu Qing’s arms again, and soon her tears soaked Lu Qing’s clothes. She thought Lu Qing was asking her if it hurt after being beaten, but she didn’t expect Lu Qing to have thought wrongly. After all, the mottled marks on Lu Wanying’s body could not be faked. How could such marks be left by being beaten? As a soldier and a married man, Lu Qing understood it very well.

At this moment, Lu Wanying was crying so miserably that he could only assume that Lu Wanying was frightened and dared not tell the truth, so she pushed the matter onto Lu Jiangyue’s head. Therefore, he did not say anything, but just touched her hair lovingly to comfort her, and kept saying that he would find out the truth and take care of it for her.

At the same time, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He wanted to ask where Lu Jiangyue had gone and why she was not at home. If she was at home, how could Lu Wanying have suffered all this? No matter what, she could call for help. This was a family compound. As long as she shouted for help, someone would come to check soon.

Therefore, Lu Qing found it unbelievable that Lu Wanying could suffer such a thing at home, but the facts were before him and he could not help but believe it. He could only comfort his precious daughter with heartache.

Lu Jiangyue waited until Lu Qing had comforted his precious daughter before returning. As soon as she opened the door, Lu Qing, who was sitting in the living room, started scolding her.

“Where the hell have you been? Why are you back now? Do you know how much Wanying has suffered?”

“Oh, what the hell is it to me?”

Lu Jiangyue sneered, crossed her arms over her chest and pushed back with a defiant expression.

Just kidding, she didn’t come back to get scolded.

“You dare to talk back? There’s a thief in the house! When did you leave? Did you leave the door unlocked? The door lock is fine, how did the thief get in?”

Lu Qing was furious and extremely dissatisfied and disappointed that Lu Jiangyue dared to talk back. Does she have any sympathy left?

“Thief? The house was robbed? What about my mother’s dowry? Is it still there?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiangyue immediately rushed to Lu Qing’s room. Sure enough, it was still a mess. This man hadn’t cleaned it up at all. Lu Jiangyue rushed out again in anger and questioned him.

“Where did my mom’s things go?! Those were the things my mom left for me!”

Her eyes were blazing with fire and she acted beautifully.

Lu Qing was speechless after being questioned by her, and he still wanted to question her!

“Don’t worry about those personal belongings for now. I’ve already checked. No strangers have come into the family compound. Tell me the truth, did you bring someone in before? He has been hiding secretly in the family compound. Otherwise, why would he steal from ours instead of other families, and even take Wanying…”

“Are you deliberately seeking revenge on her? Wanying is innocent. It was your mother’s poor health that caused her death. What does it have to do with her? Lu Jiangyue, you are already an adult. You should at least have some judgment! Don’t believe everything you hear!”

Lu Qing stared at Lu Jiangyue with disgust. It was not like he was looking at his daughter, but rather as if he was looking at an enemy.
