Those standing nearby looked hesitant, especially Qin Weijia. The Liu Yiyi she had arranged had not done much yet and was pulled aside because of the short video. The money and effort she had put into this for all this time were now wasted. Her daughter had hoped to get along with Yu Sixing, and they had already gotten through to the Yu family, but Yu Sixing barely acknowledged her daughterâs friendly gestures. Her own companyâs operation had not been going well and was barely holding together by leeching off Hanhai.
But this was not a long-term solution.
Her husband was a scientist and poor as with most intellectuals. Although he obeyed her at home, he didnât have much money. Her son, at last, was being serious this time, having a girlfriend. Even though the girlfriendâs family was not well-off, they did everything they could to get on Hanhaiâs good side, including spending money and effort.
After all the making fun of Qin Zhiyou, she didnât expect it would turn out that heâd be showing off his relationship.
Speaking of which, though he had defended Lu Weixi in the past, he only did so when others were attacking her and he had to step in. Normally, he only defended her rhetorically without truly helping her out. The only time he did help her was when Bai Changyou came to act like a father-in-law and was cruelly rejected by him. Then when Lu Weixiâs mother fell ill because of Bai Changyouâs anger, that enraged Qin Zhiyou, and he terminated all cooperation with the Bai family.
However, he only stepped up when problems were dumped on him, indicating that he wouldnât divorce Lu Weixi at most.
But him declaring love, or something close to that, that was a first.
It was normal for Qin Zhiyou to like someone, and it was normal for him to like Lu Weixi. But what was strange was that he said he would never have another woman, and he would never seek anyone else.
Was he turning over a new leaf?
âIs it true?â
âHave I ever lied?â Qin Zhiyou shot back, leaving Qin Weijia dumbstruck. In his five years at Hanhai, heâd been a man of his word. The decisions he made and promises he kept were always sincere, without any room for doubt.
She glanced at her brother, Qin Weijian, who also frowned but then he looked at his son. Qin Zhiguâs expression was complicated. On the one hand, he truly hoped Lu Weixi could be happy, but on the other hand, seeing her happy with another man made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
No matter what, Qin Zhiyou was married, Qin Zhizha had a fiancée, but their foolish son didnât even have a girlfriend. Thinking about this, Qin Weijian and Kong Jieâs blood pressure was slightly elevated.
Lu Weixi, however, the person involved, kept her head down without uttering a word.
Probably the only one who was sincerely pleased was Old Master Qin. He had lectured his eldest grandson severely last time, and noticed him sticking with his wife recently and now speaking these words.
Despite not knowing if it was true or how patient he could be, he was very pleased with this awareness.
As for Qin Zhizha, that young rascal, he could only shake his head, paying no more attention to him.
Soon after sitting down, the gathering dispersed. As they headed upstairs, Lu Weixi still kept her head down, remaining silent.
Qin Zhiyou wanted to follow her, but then his cell phone rang. He looked down to see a message from Secretary Wang, probably about Liu Yiyi.
He glanced at Lu Weixi out of the corner of his eye, thankful she didnât notice. He first went to his study to handle the issue. When he returned to the bedroom, Lu Weixi had already turned off the lights to sleep.
