The Long-awaited Mr Han

With trembling lips and shaking shoulders from crying too hard, Lu Man nodded slowly, carefully calling, "Dad."

Wang Juhuai was so moved his eyes became red-rimmed too. "Eh! Good, good girl."

Before, she had called Lu Qiyuan "Dad" because she had to, though she did not even bother to do so eventually.

She nearly forgot how to call someone "Dad," unused to it as she was.

Her saying it now came from her heart.

Her mouth forming the word was so heartwarming, it enveloped her with love and never went away.

She now felt a sense of belonging, like a ship—no matter where she sailed to, there would always be a safe harbor for her somewhere.

Lu Man was touched and grateful, grateful that Wang Juhuai was willing to acknowledge her as his child.

What love she couldn't receive from her biological father, she would get it from Wang Juhuai.

"Dad," Lu Man called again.

Wang Juhuai grinned from ear to ear, secretly wiping away his tears. "Good, good, good."

From now on, he was Lu Man's father. Lu Qiyuan, that jerk, he should just f*ck off!

"This is great, I'm happy today!" Wang Juhuai laughed joyfully. "Zhuoli, let us guys drink a couple."

Wang Juhuai was used to drinking stuff like red wine and whiskey, but he never drank excessively. The most was a small cup he sippped on every night when he was watching television and talking to Xia Qingwei.

But the house was well-stocked with alcohol, and Wang Juhuai went to find the red wine and whiskey.

Lu Man and Xia Qingwei went to prepare dinner in the kitchen.

Lu Man's eyes were still swollen red from crying.

But Xia Qingwei was pleased.

Her child had suffered for so long, and things were finally getting better from now.

Wasn't she just like this as well?

Lu Man said to Xia Qingwei in a low voice, "Mom, you really loved the right guy."

"Yes, I did." Xia Qingwei touched Lu Man's head. "And so did you."

Lu Man felt that Han Zhuoli must be her lucky star.

Her good luck started the moment she met Han Zhuoli, and it never stopped since.

Thinking back, would she have escaped the Lu Family's trap for her if she hadn't met Han Zhuoli?

She did not know.

Back then, because of Han Zhuoli's warning, Lu Hanli did not dare to agree to Lu Qiyuan's terms.

If she hadn't met Han Zhuoli, Lu Hanli would have had nothing to fear nor cared about anything and would most likely have accepted Lu Qiyuan's bribe.

And she would probably have ended up in jail again, just like how she ended up in her previous life.

Because of Han Zhuoli's warning, Lu Hanli got afraid and dared not agree to Lu Qiyuan's terms. The Lu Family had had no choice but to let her escape when they could not find other incriminating evidence to frame her.

Without Han Zhuoli, even if she could have escaped the police initially, she would still have ended up in jail.

No, without Han Zhuoli, she would not have escaped in the first place.

Even if she did escape to the next room, nobody else would have helped her, and they might even have handed her to the police.

Hence, it could be said that without Han Zhuoli, she would have been a goner since day one.

Not to mention, she couldn't have entered the Han Corporation and the entertainment industry later on.

Her life got better only after she met Han Zhuoli.

Because she met Han Zhuoli, she went over to his family home with Xia Qingwei to have a meal during the New Year's. Then, she could bump into Wang Juhuai, who came back to the family home to celebrate the New Year, which then allowed Xia Qingwei to reunite with Wang Juhuai, reconcile with him, and marry him.

Until now, Xia Qingwei was still loved dearly by Wang Juhuai, and Lu Man had gained Wang Juhuai as a good father.
