In these past few years, Qin Zhiyou and Luâs mother hadnât seen each other very often. From the start of his relationship with her daughter, she had always disapproved, and even vehemently objected to their marriage. Qin Zhiyou had tried to mend relations with Luâs mother, but ever since that incident, his relationship with Lu Weixi had hit rock bottom. Even though he knew that Luâs mother was Lu Weixiâs weak spot, their relationship was so strained that they had almost divorced, let alone him giving any consideration to Luâs mother. And then came five years of an icy cold war.
Of course, even though they didnât have much contact on the surface, Qin Zhiyou did covertly lend a hand when it came to medical care. He persistently ensured the best doctors and treatments were selected, even if Lu Weixi and her mother didnât know about it.
At that moment, as he heard what Luâs mother had just said, Qin Zhiyou was completely stunned.
He even suspected that Zhao Zihaoâs team hadnât left yet. And the reason they were allowed to visit in the middle of the night was perhaps because they knew about Luâs motherâs illness. He feared they had planned for Luâs mother to see him as soon as she woke up, so they could use her as a weapon to hurt him deeply.
Of course, this was not the time to get tangled up with Zhao Zihao. Qin Zhiyou rushed over, his face full of sincerity: âMom, Iâm sorry.â
As he had promised, he apologized to Luâs mother.
However, obviously, Luâs mother didnât need his apology.
Her gaze was cold, devoid of the maternal affection she had shown when she had looked at Lu Weixi just before. Her voice was no warmer. Even though she could barely express her anger given her sluggish tone, it was still noticeably cold: âI donât need your apology.â
Even though a few hours before, Lu Weixi had said the same thing, the words spoken by Luâs mother were much sharper. They almost felt like a dagger making Qin Zhiyou abruptly step back.
âMomâ¦â Qin Zhiyou wanted to say something more when Zhao Zihao, standing to one side, glanced at his watch and casually announced, âTimeâs up.â
If he could, Qin Zhiyou wouldâve punched Zhao Zihao right now, right in his gold-rimmed glasses, knocking them askew, and shattering the lenses!
But instead, he emphasized, âMom, Iâve changedâ¦â
Before Qin Zhiyou could finish, Zhao Zihao interrupted loudly, âPlease both of you, leave now. Donât disturb the patientâs rest. Come back during regular visiting hours tomorrow. It will depend on the patientâs condition if you can visit again.â
Qin Zhiyou was annoyed. He could tell Zhao Zihao was doing this on purpose! He was deliberately not letting him finish, intentionally creating a misunderstanding between him, Luâs mother, and Lu Weixi!
Some things had to be said quickly or else Luâs mother would continue to misunderstand. He quickly explained, âMom, I really have changed. I have made a promise to Wei Hui and grandfather, I wonât mess around anymoreâ¦â
Although Qin Zhiyou tried to get his point across, his rushed explanation did nothing to gain her trust. Zhao Zihao didnât give him another chance to explain. There were nurses in the room and along with them, Qin Zhiyou was ushered towards the door. Then, Zhao Zihao, although speaking to Qin Zhiyou, stood in front of Lu Weixi: âMr. Qin, please donât make our work difficult. If you donât cooperate, I will have no choice but to bar you from visiting ever again.â
