Chapter 284 - 285 Stay or Leave (1)
Fang Rushuang also worked at the Bai Family enterprise, unlike Cai Yiren who had gone to a branch office for landscape design, she had stayed directly at the headquarters, working in management and human resources.
Her dad, Fang Zheng, used to be a lawyer. Back then when the Bai Family was still a small enterprise, his legal advisory role was not particularly prestigious. However, as the Bai Family expanded, Fang Zheng’s reputation grew as well.
He even switched sides in Bai Changyou’s divorce case, using all his legal expertise to strive for the greatest benefits for his client.
From a lawyer’s point of view, he did nothing wrong, but it was quite unscrupulous. Luckily, Fang Rushuang and her father were quite different. She could be considered a proper lady. Her demeanor was polite, and she never gossiped behind people’s backs. She was also gentle and modest in her actions. In terms of looks, though she wasn’t as eye-catching as Lu Weixi, she was elegant and became instantly likable on first sight.
She had come only to report work progress to Bai Changyou. Qin Zhiyou saw her get out of her car from a distance. They barely exchanged any words before she left. He and Fang Rushuang had only briefly acknowledged each other and swiftly moved past without a single word exchanged.
However, with the Bai Family’s return, she was bound to be back.
But, Qin Zhiyou didn’t want to say it, not because he cared about Fang Rushuang. Even though they were once engaged and Fang Rushuang had indeed pursued him quite intensively, he had never felt any romantic feelings towards her.
Moreover, he had many companions, and he had never seen Lu Weixi ask about any of them. He wouldn’t narcissistically think that Lu Weixi would be jealous because of Fang Rushuang.
The main reason he didn’t mention it, was because he knew that deep down, Lu Weixi felt a bit guilty towards Fang Rushuang. Back then, Fang Rushuang and Lu Weixi had a good relationship, and Lu Weixi had even helped her to pursue him. After Lu Weixi’s boyfriend was stolen, Fang Rushuang immediately took that person’s fiance away. Although she knew that Fang Zheng had wronged her mother, Fang Rushuang was never in the wrong towards her.
When Fang Rushuang went abroad, she didn’t say anything, but he clearly saw Lu Weixi hiding in the distance at the airport.
However, until Fang Rushuang left, Lu Weixi did not appear. And in the past few years, she hadn’t mentioned her again.
He didn’t speak, pressing his lips together slightly. Seeing his sudden silence, Lu Weixi looked at him.
At that moment, Qin Zhiyou also bowed his head. Both of them were lost in their own thoughts, and neither of them said another word.
After a while, Lu Weixi asked again, “Did you see anyone else?”
Qin Zhiyou was a bit surprised. How did she know that he had seen Fang Rushuang? He nodded lightly, “Yes, I also saw Cai Yiren. She went with your dad.”
After that, he didn’t speak any further as if the conversation ended there.
Lu Weixi, being smart, did not continue to probe. Even if she did, she wouldn’t get any further information out of him. Even if he were to tell her, what could she do then? Could she ask him not to see Liu Yiyi in the future? Even without Liu Yiyi, there would be others in the future. That was his nature. Besides, they had an understanding from the beginning of their marriage that they would “not meddle in his private life”. Now, to wrangle about it would be simply laughable.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t speak, and Lu Weixi didn’t either. After a while, she tried to break free from his embrace. Qin Zhiyou looked puzzled, to which Lu Weixi simply added, “It’s summer now, it’s hot..”
