âIs Yu Sixing nuts or what? Whether I have a boyfriend or not is none of his damn business.â
Lu Weixi thought for a while, then finally said, âYou mentioned Yu Sixing⦠Could it be that he likes you?â
âLike me? Impossible.â Xue Feifei sneered, âIâve met plenty of men who enjoy playing around in the entertainment industry. They call it love? No, itâs their hormones acting up, itâs just a whirlwind phase.â After venting her frustrations, her mood lightened, âWeixi, I have my eye on a new apartment. It has a great location and good daylighting, and the price isnât too bad. Once I finish moving in and tidying up, Iâll invite you over.â
âAlright.â Lu Weixi nodded, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Lu Weixi had taken a few days off, but she was the kind of person who couldnât sit still. She decided to catch up on her work at home. By the time she finished, it was already eleven at night and Qin Zhiyou hadnât returned yet.
She took a bath, contemplating that it would be better if he didnât come home now.
Because, even she didnât know how to face him.
Objectively speaking, her motherâs illness was still severe, and she needed Qin Zhiyouâs help. She had money, but not all medical resources or the best doctors could be obtained with money. Moreover, it would be rather difficult to explain things to Master Qin.
Subjectively, he had promised last time that he wouldnât meddle with Liu Yiyi again, and she had tacitly given him a chance. If she left right after saving her mother, wouldnât that make her a hypocrite?
In summary, after coming up with countless excuses, she had one ultimate reason â she didnât want to part from Qin Zhiyou yet.
But, all her reasons couldnât match up to her motherâs single sentence, âI hope you divorce himâ. That statement shocked her beyond everything else.
She didnât know how to explain to her mother, nor could she. What would she explain? That Qin Zhiyou had assured her he wouldnât touch another woman again? She wouldnât bring up old matters, but her mother wouldnât easily forgive a son-in-law that cheated.
Besides, why shouldnât she divorce him? He wasnât even good to her.
Lost in her thoughts, she finished her bath. She lazily wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out of the bathroom.
Just as she opened the bathroom door, she found Qin Zhiyou standing there.
He was still wearing the same clothes from the morning, but they looked dirty, particularly his kneecaps and legs, as if he had been kneeling.
Qin Zhiyou had indeed knelt, but that happened in the evening.
After sending Lu Weixi home from the hospital, he took a short rest. At three in the afternoon, there was an emergency board meeting called by Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia, of which Qin Zhiyou had no prior knowledge.
The discussion was naturally about Qin Zhiyou tearing up the contract with the Bai Family in anger and declaring that he would never cooperate with the Bai Family again.
Once this news got out, Hanhaiâs shares instantly fell by four percentage points. Although not a significant drop, for the shareholders, even a slight decline felt like cutting their own flesh. Moreover, Qin Zhiyouâs words were too reckless and unprofessional, not something a sensible and professional leader should say.
Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia were naturally glad to see this, even calling a board meeting to criticize him. But when the meeting was at its peak, the conference room door opened, and Qin Zhiyou entered, leading a line of executives behind him, positioning himself at the very front, visible to everyone present.
