2225 What Was I Doing?

"So, you're saying that you died in your past life?" Han Zhuoli asked. "No, I shouldn't ask that. Everyone ages and dies eventually."

Han Zhuoli paused for a moment and asked, "You didn't die a natural death?"

He did not heave a sigh of relief because of this.

Even if it was something that happened in her past life, Han Zhuoli could not bear to hear it.

He did not suspect Lu Man's words at all, because he knew that Lu Man was telling the truth.

Even if he did not use his ability, he still knew that Lu Man would never lie to him.

And he also had his ability that he was born with.

Lu Man nodded. "In my past life, I lived only until I was 30 years old. I was burned to death."

Han Zhuoli's heart squeezed and he immediately asked, "Then what about me? Where was I then? I actually didn't protect you well and let you just die? Being burned alive? What was I doing?"

If he could see himself in his past life, he would definitely beat him to death!

He actually did not even manage to protect Lu Man and had let her get burned to death.

She did not just die, but she even died so painfully.

Lu Man actually laughed casually.

To her, the most arduous part was already over.

Han Zhuoli did not even suspect her for a second. He trusted her and accepted her so completely.

He accepted it so naturally and so logically.

He did not treat her like a monster.

He did not distance himself from her and look at her with a strange expression.

He even hugged her arms and did not let go for a moment. He even hugged her tighter.

"In my past life, we didn't know each other," Lu Man explained. "If you'd been around, how could you have let me end up so miserably? The me in my past life was not so smart, so I wasn't able to take good care of myself."

"What else do you remember?" Han Zhuoli asked.

"I remember all the deeply etched memories." Lu Man took a deep breath and said, "The turning point in this life of mine was at the hotel where I met you for the first time. My life before that was pretty much the same. My parents divorced, my mother was gravely ill, my fiance betrayed me, and I got mistreated by my stepmother.

"In my past life, my life also started heading towards destruction from that point onwards," Lu Man slowly said.

"In my past life, I was in the room beside yours when I got caught by the police. Lu Qi was the one who hurt that director, but she and He Zhengbai destroyed the evidence and framed me, to have me go to jail in her place for eight years.

"At that time, I still had not known that He Zhengbai had long betrayed me and got together with Lu Qi. Afterward, when I got released from jail, I learned that my mom, who was already gravely ill, could not take the blow after learning that I went into jail, so she passed away before she could wait for me to be released.

"I went to Lu Qiyuan's place and realized that Lu Qi had long gotten together with He Zhengbai. The two of them got married. At that time, Lu Qi had already become an A-List Best Actress celebrity. He Zhengbai was also a renowned director. Lu Qiyuan left everything in the Lu family to Lu Qi."

"I left after going there to make a huge scene. I was determined to sever ties with them. No matter what happened in the future, I would not want to have anything to do with them at all. But I didn't expect that Lu Qi and He Zhengbai had no intentions of letting me off at all.

"Actually, until now, I still don't understand. The me then posed no threat to them at all. Why must they insist on wanting me dead? Afraid that I will speak out about their deeds?" Lu Man shook her head. "At first, when I didn't know anything, that's what I thought.

"But now I know that since they had power in their hands, no one would have believed me even if I went to tell other people. If I exposed this to the media, they would also have been able to suppress the matter. I would not have been able to do anything to them at all."
