Chapter 112 - 113: Return to the Mansion (1)
Xue Feifei was taken aback. She shook her head, “I don’t know about this. As you know, ever since Qin Zhigu started dating Cai Yiren, I’ve blocked both of them. The information about Qin Zhigu’s return came from a student in another department. I’ll show you the screenshot.”
Qin Zhiyou was wary day and night, but he didn’t expect Lu Weixi to find out, and it was from Xue Feifei’s information that he did so.
Soon, Lu Weixi’s phone received the image Xue Feifei had sent. It was the same one Qin Zhiyou had seen, pinpointing Qin Zhigu at the Upper City of China in his friend circle. The scene only displayed landscape paintings and porcelain, neither Qin Zhigu, nor Cai Yiren, much less any trace of Lu Weixi’s father Bai Changyou In sight.
“You see, he’s back. He’s in the Upper City already. Isn’t it just a matter of time before he returns to Yan City?” Xue Feifei was somewhat anxious. She was in confinement and didn’t get her phone until bedtime. Otherwise, she would have alerted Lu Weixi much earlier, “What are you going to do when that happens?”
“What do you mean, what will I do? I told you before, I broke up with him. It’s over.” Lu Weixi’s expression was indifferent. For a few seconds, she indeed felt a white flash before her eyes, as though she couldn’t hear or see anything. But she soon returned to normal.
“You can’t possibly think that seeing him would make me want to die. I couldn’t even do that five years ago, so it’s even less likely now.”
It suddenly dawned on Lu Weixi, no wonder Qin Zhiyou has been acting so unusual lately, always coming home, demanding this and that. And these softer tactics of his are certainly not things the old him could do.
No wonder, even if Qin Zhiyou was stingy, he didn’t need to come home on time every day to ‘report’.
It turns out, it was all because of Qin Zhigu.
Xue Feifei was still a bit worried, “But…”
“There’s no ‘but’s. If your friend receives any news from Cai Yiren, please make sure to let me know. Goodnight.” Lu Weixi yawned and hung up.
Her head hurt a bit, maybe it was because she just spent time soaking in the bathroom. Her body was still fatigued. That good-for-nothing Qin Zhiyou might not have let her ‘participate’, but the deeds certainly demanded a lot of energy, especially in the tub.
She really should thank Qin Zhiyou’s ‘audacity’. Were it not for his causing such a big fuss, leaving her neither the mood nor energy to think, tonight would certainly be a sleepless one.
Indeed, after hanging up, she turned off the lights, lay on the large bed, and fell asleep till morning.
But certain things still needed to be faced, even if she wanted to hide like an ostrich.
When she woke up from a deep sleep, Qin Zhiyou has already left. She lazily ate breakfast and drove to the office. During break time, she sipped her coffee and read materials about Boss Liao, her mind drifting far away before she realized.
She was already prepared to see Qin Zhigu again, but what about Bai Changyou, Cai Yiren, and Cai’s mother? Five years have passed, and she didn’t know if Qin Zhigu and Cai Yiren were still together.
Lu Weixi glanced at the screenshot of Qin Zhigu’s friend circle that Xue Feifei had sent on her phone. A sharp light flashed across her eyes.
If Qin Zhigu came back, then Bai Changyou and the rest of them would also return, right? She could let Qin Zhigu pass, but as for her stepmother and stepsister, and Bai Changyou, her loving father, how should she deal with them?
