Chapter 614: Chapter 614: 616: Missed (3)

“Qin Zhiyou, what are you…” Lu Weixi was a bit stunned, as was Lu’s mother. They glance at each other, then back at Qin Zhiyou, who was still eating his noodles.

The noodles were salty, they clung to each other, the bacon was overcooked. Even Lu’s mother couldn’t swallow the food, but Qin Zhiyou was eating it with complete seriousness.

Even Lu’s mother was startled. When Qin Zhiyou finished eating, he wiped his mouth with a napkin: “Thank you, Auntie Lu. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such home-cooked food. Ever since my father passed away…”

This bastard, he had the audacity to gain their sympathy! And Lu’s mother couldn’t say anything; after all, it was the New Year.

And, Qin Zhiyou had no father. Hearing this, she could easily relate it to Lu Weixi’s situation.

Now, their Xixi also had no father …

Of course, sympathy lasted but a moment. At this point, Lu’s mother didn’t abhor Qin Zhiyou as such, but, if in future, Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu started dating, it was likely she would marry into the Qin Family.

Qin Zhiyou’s position was awkward, he couldn’t be too far or too close. More importantly, she could feel a peculiar emotion from Qin Zhiyou towards her daughter. If her daughter were to be with Qin Zhigu in the future, this emotion definitely could not continue to develop.

Moreover, she, of course, had heard some rumours about Qin Zhiyou. She knew he was a flirtatious man.

Lu’s mother quickly dismissed him: “It’s getting late now, my Xixi and I are celebrating New Year’s Eve, you should also have other plans at home. Thank you for the gift. Next time when Xixi goes to see Zhigu, I’ll instruct her to bring a gift for you.”

Seeing their mother dismissing him, Lu Weixi naturally chimed in: “Better get going!”

Qin Zhiyou looked at Lu Weixi, and then at Lu’s mother, and nodded: “Alright, Auntie.”

Preparing to leave, Lu’s mother, as the host, although being the elder, stood up to see him off. But she had just risen when she felt an intense pain in her right abdomen. Lu’s mother quickly held her belly and sat down.

This act was seen by the ever-observing Qin Zhiyou, who quickly asked, “Auntie Lu, what’s wrong?”

Lu Weixi, who had been rushing Qin Zhiyou to leave initially, but seeing her mother in such state, she also stopped: “Mom, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, probably hernia.” Lu’s mother slightly eased, stood up again but as soon as she moved, the intense pain struck again.

“Auntie, don’t push yourself, it could be appendicitis, or even liver disease.” Qin Zhiyou took a step forward immediately. If not now, when would he portray his loyalty?

“Just leave already, my mom fell ill because of you.” Lu Weixi, filled with righteous indignation, quickly called Qin Zhigu: “I’ll have Zhigu come over.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But when the call was made, it took a long time before anyone answered.

Such moments were usually alright, but today was particularly awkward, especially with Qin Zhiyou still by her side.

Thankfully, after writhing in pain for a while, Lu’s mother straightened up and the pain seemingly disappeared. She shook her head: “It’s fine now, it shouldn’t be appendicitis, otherwise, the pain would be constant.”

“Mom, could you go get a check-up?” Lu Weixi hung up the phone, more worried about her mother.

Qin Zhiyou also hurriedly advised: “Auntie, you should get it checked out. It won’t take much time.”

“I’m fine. If it still hurts tomorrow, I’ll go to the hospital. But today is New Year’s Eve.” Lu’s mother collected herself, “You wouldn’t want to spend New Year’s in a hospital, would you?”
