In fact, the moment she got off the car, Lu Weixi was already aware that her secret might be revealed. Regardless of whether it was Liu Yiyi or Xiang Yirou, or anyone else for that matter, once they found out that the designer of Lulu Design Institute, Liu Weixi, was also the wife of Qin Zhiyou, one could expect a surge of people swarming Lulu the following day.
But what good would worrying doâit was the truth after all. If worse comes to worst, she could always switch design firms or even go undercover for a while, perhaps continue her studies and pursue a doctoral degree. She was confident that in a few years, people will no longer be constantly monitoring her.
Once she accepted this, she became extraordinarily calm, her face betraying no emotion as she passed by Bai Changyou and his family. She then turned her gaze to Fang Rushuang and Fang Zheng standing behind her.
Back then, she had, indeed, stolen Fang Rushuangâs fiance. But, who could blame her when Fang Zheng did all he could to help Bai Changyou embezzle assets, nearly costing her motherâs life?
Regardless of any guilt she may have felt towards Fang Rushuang, the sight of the obsequiously hypocritical Fang Zheng next to Bai Changyou instantly dissolved any feelings of remorse she might have had.
As for Xiang Yirou, she had ignored her completely.
âLong time no see.â Fang Rushuang spoke with a serene expression, devoid of any indignation. Beside her, Fang Zheng greeted Qin Zhiyou warmly, âZhiyou, long time no see. Iâve heard from Rushuang that you have been very kind to her since she returned. We are both very grateful.â
So much was conveyed in a single sentenceâit affirmed that his daughter had been in contact with Qin Zhiyou since her return. Indeed, Lu Weixi maintained a composed demeanor that anyone could see, not even blinking an eye throughout the exchange. However, her other hand that wasnât clasped by Qin Zhiyou tightened slowly.
Qin Zhiyou hurried to clarify, âMiss Fang took over the Bai Familyâs project and provided very generous terms. It would be ridiculous to refuse such a lucrative offer.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This single statement explained his relationship with Fang Rushuang, as well as her involvement with the Bai Family.
Before Lu Weixi could express anything, the ever-intrusive Qin Zhimei chimed in, âOh, isnât this Miss Xiang Yirou? I am a huge fan of yours. Iâve heard that you and my brother are quite close, but he never introduced us.â
Thoughtfully fearing that Fang Rushuang, after being away for five years, might not be familiar with Xiang Yirou and Liu Yiyi, she rushed to make introductions, âElder Sister Rushuang, Xiang Yirou is one of Chinaâs most popular young actresses, while Miss Liu Yiyi who greeted us today is a renowned television presenter. They both are good friends of my older brother, an opportunity Iâve never had to get to know them. What a fortunate coincidence today.â
While speaking, she intentionally did not mention Lu Weixi, rendering a deliberate oversight. If speaking in terms of entitlement, Fang Rushuang actually had more legitimacy than Lu Weixi. She used to be Qin Zhiyouâs favorite, and had Qin Zhiyou not lost his mind and slept with Lu Weixi, perhaps Fang Rushuang might not have backed off so quickly.
So what if Lu Weixi ended up with Qin Zhiyou? There were countless women like Xiang Yirou and Liu Yiyi out there. Lu Weixi was merely holding onto the title of Mrs. Qin. Qin Zhiyou was merely preserving her face in public. Who knows how much she was crying behind closed doors?
Fang Rushuang, being wise and discerning, naturally knew she was being used as a pawn by Qin Zhimei. She had occasionally heard about Qin Zhiyouâs frivolous affairs abroad, so she was not surprised in the slightest, only giving Xiang Yirou and Liu Yiyi a brief nod and saying, âMiss Xiang, Miss Liu,â before discontinuing the conversation..
