âIf thatâs the case, Iâd rather move out of the hospital now, as long as you break up with him.â
âMom, thatâs not what I meant. And how could I feel burdened by you? All I have left is you. Youâre my only family, my life.â Lu Weixi leaned forward slightly, gripped her motherâs hand, âNo one can replace the place you hold in my heart, of course neither can Qin Zhiyou. But heâs my husband. I wish for your health, for him to be filial to you, for our family to be alright.â
âAs long as heâs around, we canât be alright.â Luâs mother slowly retracted her hand from her daughter and turned to watch the television. Their conversation went on for a bit, the news no longer discussing Qin Zhiyou, now conversing about recently awarded films at the film festival.
Lu Weixi was helpless, but anyway, even though her mother still resisted, it was better than her previous insistence on driving her out. However, her current softened attitude does not mean she would accept Qin Zhiyou. Her softness was only towards herself, not him.
But there was no other choice, not to mention her motherâs heart couldnât accept it, she herself was hurting.
Although he has no new women now, and thereâs no chance of old flames reigniting with Xiang Yirou, but who called his past full of sins, now any minor mistakes he makes, and someone will link him back to his previous actions. Just look at Yu Sixing, although he was there, no one said a word against him.
âAlright mom, I get it. You rest well, I will come to see you again in a couple of days.â
Before leaving, Lu Weixi poured her mother a glass of hot water, pulled open the curtains, and washed an apple. As she was about to leave, she smelled a hint of smoke. She turned her head and saw it was Qin Zhiyou.
âWhat are you doing here?â
Qin Zhiyou was leaning against the wall by the door, surrounded by the scent of nicotine and coconut. His slim middle finger and index finger held a lit cigarette, though it seemed he hadnât taken a drag yet, the ash was quite long. Seeing her arrive, he skillfully extinguished the cigarette, discarded the butt into the trash bin, and slowly walked over.
âI came to pick you up.â Today his news went viral again, and she was involved too, however, this time face on.
Qin Zhiyou quickly had his people remove the trending topic as fast as possible, but it was already a bit late, Lu Weixiâs picture was even analyzed by them, determined to be from the charity banquet that she attended with him. The only lucky part was that she was truly very low-key, so it didnât matter much, the biggest impact was just on her work.
He had just gotten rid of the trending topic, but still worried about any impact on Lu Weixiâs company. Having not brought Secretary Wang, he drove himself over.@@novelbin@@
Once he reached Lulu, not knowing how to directly find out how things were, he contacted Secretary Wang, had Secretary Wang contact Xiaochen, and sat in his car awaiting the news.
Soon enough, Xiaochen came down: âMr. Qin, Ms. Lu has already left the company. Sheâs gone to the hospital.â
Qin Zhiyou wasnât surprised, he was not just here to pick up Lu Weixi: âI wanted to ask, does anyone at the company know about the things on her Weibo?â
âThe trending topic?â Xiaochen, the âKing of Gossipâ definitely knew, âOf course people know, but arenât you her family?â
As soon as Qin Zhiyou heard the last word from Xiaochen, he didnât even say goodbye, he simply rolled down his car window and drove straight to the hospital.
Upon arrival at the hospital, he overheard the conversation between Lu Weixi and her mother inside.
