I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

Everyone else present was a little surprised by Lu Xiaowei's reaction. After all, there was a huge difference between Lu Dingnan and her in their attitude towards this matter.

"No need."

Unlike Qiu Jianguo's soft-heartedness, Grandpa Qiu replied indifferently that according to some things they had found out, Li Qiao had cheated on her husband a long time ago, and looking at her current behavior, there was no need to verify anything further.

"Xiao Wei, don't cry, I am still your father."

Looking at the backs of the Qiu family father and son leaving, Lu Xiaowei cried sadly. Lu Dingnan felt mixed emotions and could only step forward to comfort her. At this point, all he could do was to coax his daughter.

"Uncle Lu, I have something to say to Grandpa, so I won't be leaving with you guys for a while."

Lu Dingnan looked at Yueying with sad eyes. She was his own biological daughter who had been raised in someone else's home since she was a child. Although she had grown up by his side in the past few years, he had never paid any attention to her, even though her face looked so much like his deceased wife.

He smiled bitterly, as if it was normal for him to call him uncle.

Yueying followed Grandpa Qiu back to the Qiu family. Everyone was silent along the way and she was also very sad. It was obvious that her father and grandfather loved her very much, but that was the fact and she could only say what she needed to say.

"Grandpa bound your bank card for payment last time. I will unbind it now. And the engagement with the Ding family..."

"Xiaoying, tell grandpa the truth, have you been planning this for a long time?"

Qiu Chengming returned to the study and sat down, then he went straight to the point and interrupted Yueying.

"Grandpa, everything I told you before was true. The clues I found over the past few years have given me more and more doubts as I get older. After that, it's just reasonable guesses."

She didn't even look away and made eye contact with Grandpa Qiu.

"Alas, you have suffered. Xiaoying, if Jianguo is like this, the Qiu family will have no descendants in the future."

"Grandpa, do you want to say that you still recognize me as your granddaughter?"

In fact, this was expected. If Lu Xiaowei was a child of the Qiu family, perhaps Grandpa Qiu would make other choices, but it was obvious that no one had a blood relationship with the Qiu family, and Yueying was the only child who had an emotional connection with them.

"Recognize, recognize, I want to ask, will you recognize me as an old man in the future?"

"How could that be? You will always be my grandpa."

Yueying hugged the old man, and then no longer mentioned that she had taken advantage of the Qiu family, and stood up to see Qiu Jianguo.

The man's mentality must be very explosive now. After all, they have been father and daughter for so many years, Yueying still hopes for the best for him.

Lu Xiaowei returned to her bedroom in a daze. She never expected that after her rebirth, before she could get the identity of Mo, the author of Yueying Comics, she even lost her identity as a respectable lady of the Lu family.

In her previous life, she saw with her own eyes that her stepsister, who was timid in her childhood, became a successful cartoonist and was pampered like a princess under the care of Ding Yanxi, the new generation heir of the Ding family.

She knew that the two of them had gone through many misunderstandings before they got together, so after her rebirth, she planned to take advantage of her stepsister's personality and some secrets she knew about the two of them to snatch Ding Yanxi away.

Speaking of which, in her previous life, she was not like the heroines in many rebirth novels, who had such a tragic and unfortunate ending.

In her previous life, Lu Xiaowei had a good family. Her husband was a well-off man with a good family background. He was a dull person, so she lived a happy life. But compared with Qiu Yueying's life, it was far worse, both in terms of money and status. In various occasions in the circles of wealthy families, she was the one who catered to others, and as long as the other party sat there quietly, there would be many wives to serve him.

"Yes, the comic book account."

It's not that she didn't try to crack her account password during this period, but she wasn't in a hurry at first. But now, she doesn't know if it's because she was reborn as a butterfly with wings, her situation is even worse than in her previous life, so she urgently needs to know the password.

In the living room downstairs, Lu Dingnan and Li Qiao were negotiating. To be more precise, Lu’s lawyer and Li Qiao were discussing the divorce agreement.

"Ms. Li, after the divorce, you will receive two million in cash and a 100-square-meter apartment in the city, but you are not allowed to see Ms. Lu again unless necessary. Please read the agreement and sign it here."

Lu Dingnan sat silently aside, his eyes fixed on a corner, and no one knew what he was thinking. His lawyer handed the divorce agreement to Li Qiao.

What can one do with just two million? Li Qiao was very dissatisfied, but her eyes were blurred with tears, and she looked weak and innocent.

"Dingnan, these things are really just coincidences. I am also a victim. Xiaowei is the flesh and blood that fell from my body. How could I do such a thing as exchanging a child?"

The lawyer glanced at his boss and saw that Lu Dingnan still had no expression on his face and was not at all moved by his wife's words. He could only bite the bullet and continue talking to Li Qiao.

"Ms. Li, if the boss really pursues the child swap, I'm afraid you won't even get these, and you'll have to bear legal responsibility."

The boss's family affairs were quite messy. From what he heard, he felt that the boss's wife was not a good person, so his tone was always serious and he treated the matter in a businesslike manner.

"I really don't know anything about the child."

Li Qiao ignored the lawyer and just kept talking to Lu Dingnan. Seeing that he was determined, she knew that she couldn't get away with it by just acting coquettishly like before. Fortunately, he still loved Lu Xiaowei, so she could only quit while she was ahead.

"Dingnan, you have a bad stomach. Even when I'm gone, you must remember to eat on time."

To be honest, Li Qiao understood Lu Dingnan. He was still a traditional person at heart and liked his wife to be considerate and family-oriented. Hearing this, the man was still somewhat touched. He swallowed, closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and finally gave in.

"If you miss Xiao Wei, ask her to visit you during the winter and summer vacations."

Li Qiao lowered her head and tried to hold back her smile, as if there was still more to talk about. When she looked up again, she still had an expression of reluctance and aggrievedness, with tears in her eyes.

"Can I move out in a few days?"

The lawyer was watching from the side and thought that the boss might be softening his heart, so he packed up the agreement signed by Li Qiao and prepared to leave.

"My sister will be back in the evening. Is Aunt Li planning to continue to destroy the relationship between my sister and my father?"

Lu Zirui stood at the corner of the stairs and watched the show for a long time. He couldn't help it. He was originally just curious about what tricks Li Qiao could play, so he came down to see. He didn't expect that his father was so soft-hearted. This woman just said a few words of concern to him, and he wanted to give in.

When Lu Dingnan heard his son mention Yueying, he swallowed back the words he was about to agree to Li Qiao.

"Yanlu, if it's convenient later, you can take Li Qiao to her house. As for the luggage, I will pack it and send it over later."

"it is good."

Li Qiao could only be a docile little lamb at this time to avoid making Lu Dingnan unhappy, but she was resentful of Lu Zirui in her heart and could only endure it temporarily. She glanced at her stepson and stood up to wipe the tears that had been dripping.

"I'll go upstairs and say goodbye to Xiao Wei first."

After hearing this, Lu Zirui smiled, went downstairs and turned into the kitchen to get a drink. So the mother and daughter wanted to say goodbye? Lu Xiaowei might not be willing to recognize her as her mother.

Li Qiao went upstairs and found that Xiao Wei was not in her bedroom. She passed by Yueying's room, but heard a sound inside, so she pushed the door open and went in.

"Xiao Wei."

Lu Xiaowei was looking through Yueying's books, trying to find a possible password for her comic book account. She was startled by Li Qiao who suddenly came in and stared at her biological mother with a bad look.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Your father and I are getting a divorce."

If the tears she shed downstairs before were partly acting, then the fact that Li Qiao couldn't help shedding tears when she saw Lu Xiaowei was a true expression of her emotions.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Lu Xiaowei said coldly, then glanced at the bedroom door and took two steps over to close it.

"I just wanted to talk to you."

Li Qiao moved closer to her, but Lu Xiaowei avoided her with disgust. If this woman had behaved herself, she would now be the legitimate daughter of the Qiu family, and the engagement with the Ding family would be hers. Why would she need to scheme against Qiu Yueying?

"Stay away from me, or my dad will think we are in cahoots."

"Xiao Wei, I did it all for your own good."

Lu Xiaowei sneered, his eyes full of contempt, which hurt Li Qiao.

"I was afraid that my husband would find out about my affair, so I swapped the children. It's my bad luck to have a mother like you."

Li Qiao never expected that the child whom she had loved for so many years not only refused to acknowledge her as his biological mother, but was even ashamed of her. She felt heartbroken.

She covered her chest with her hands, her eyes were filled with tears, and her words were trembling.

"Xiao Wei, it's not like that. Your father and I are..."

"Okay, stop pretending to be a good mother in front of me. If you really care about me as your daughter, don't show up in front of us in the future."

In the previous life, Li Qiao treated her very well. At first, she thought that it might be because she worshipped money and treated her well for the Lu family's money. But even though Qiu Yueying married into such a good family, she still couldn't win her love, which made Lu Xiaowei confused. So this time when Qiu Yueying exposed Li Qiao's secret, she reacted immediately.

What ignorance, what misunderstanding, it was all a trap set by this sinister woman, she couldn't be dragged into this kind of person.

Li Qiao wiped away her tears. Seeing Lu Xiaowei's determination, she also understood that if Lu Xiaowei still wanted to live a stable life as a superior person in the future, it would be inappropriate for her to be too involved with him.

Lu Xiaowei continued to look through Yueying's book, and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said to Li Qiao.

"Li... do you know if she has any important dates that can be used as a password?"

"Yes, I know..."

When Li Qiao heard Lu Xiaowei talking to her on his own initiative, she was very excited and immediately walked to Yueying's bed, knelt on the ground and pulled out a small box from under the bed.

"She likes to lock important things in here. The password is my birthday."

Having said that, Li Qiao quickly opened the combination lock.

The box is filled with Akizuki Ying's early hand-drawn manuscripts of the comics, as well as some small souvenir dolls.

Lu Xiaowei didn't expect that she could get it without any effort. In addition to being happy, she looked at Li Qiao again, and her attitude was obviously much better than before.

"When you pack your things later, take the box to my room. If anyone asks about it, just say that these are my things."

"What do you want with these junks?"

Li Qiao looked at the things in the box with disdain and looked at her daughter with confusion.

"It's a piece of junk, but there's a story behind it. Don't worry about it. You owe it to me as a mother."

As Lu Xiaowei spoke, he took out a booklet he had found, opened the Yueying computer, and tried to log into his account. Sure enough, it was a string of numbers in the booklet.

The system message prompts that there are 99+ messages.

Just as Ding Yanxi said in the interview with the reporter in the previous life, Qi Yueying never replied to any messages. If it were not for the investment in publishing her comics and the invitation to meet her, it would be very difficult to find the author's information.

She remembered that Ding Yanxi said that the name he registered on the website was Yi Bai, and she quickly found a person named Yi Bai among the many messages. Very good, Lu Xiaowei sent a few private messages to the other party based on the words in the message, then turned off Yueying's computer and left.

Yueying returned to the Lu family after dinner. Originally, she had not planned to come back today, but who would have thought that Lu Zirui would call her to take credit, saying that he had helped his sister drive away the bad guys, and asked her to go home and build a relationship with her father to avoid being used by other bad guys and destroying the family relationship.

"Lu, Dad."

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lu Dingnan's eyes filled with tears. Although Yueying felt awkward, she still called him "Dad".

Three children and an old father sat together in the living room. Lu Dingnan looked at the children. He felt sad at first, but later he felt happy, and his resentment towards Li Qiao faded.

"well."

"From now on, my sister, my brother, and I will all be your children, and we will all be filial to you."

Yueying glanced sideways and saw that Lu Xiaowei wanted to speak, so she took the initiative to say something nice. After all, her brother was right. Now was the best time to establish a good relationship with Lu Dingnan, and she couldn't let outsiders get there first.

"By the way, Sister Ying, I can't call you Big Sister anymore. Actually, Sister Xiao Wei is one day older than you, right?"

Lu Zirui looked like he was looking for trouble and was looking at Lu Xiaowei with teasing eyes.

"Ah, this... seems to be the case. I've been calling you sister for so long, but I didn't expect that our birthdays are opposite. But Xiao Wei and I are only one day apart. In fact, after calling you sister for so long, it would be awkward to change it. From now on, shall we just call each other by our names?"

Yueying smiled and said nice things, mainly because Lu Zirui wanted his family to be close to him.

"Dad, next week is my eldest sister's thank-you banquet. Li Qiao targeted my second sister before, but I thought I was an outsider, so I didn't say anything. Now that the college entrance examination is over, we should also hold one for my biological sister, right?"

Lu Dingnan saw that the children were not affected by this incident. He didn't know whether to say that the children were careless or that Li Qiao was really too unbearable in their hearts. He couldn't help but sigh that he didn't know how to judge people.

"Yes, yes, let's do it together. I will go and invite your teacher in person."

As soon as Qiu Yueying heard Lu Zirui mention this, she knew that he wanted to slap Lu Xiaowei in the face. Strangely enough, in Qiu Yueying's memory, Lu Xiaowei and Lu Zirui seemed to have been at odds since childhood. This might really be in line with Li Qiao's blood relationship theory.
