Chapter 364 - 365: So Close Yet So Far (1)
Frankly speaking, this scheme could be praised by any partner if submitted to them. It had indeed been passed on to the project department for their study. The next step would be discussing the collaboration details. More to the point, Lu Weixi had mentioned that if the Bai Family were willing to make more concessions, she would not stop Hanhai from working with them.
However, after all, Fang Rushuang was once engaged to him, and Lu Weixi felt somewhat beholden to her. He did not want his wife to be put in a difficult position.
He was the one who had decided to cancel the engagement, and he was the one who had wronged Fang Rushuang. He knew that once Qin Zhigu broke up with her, he would cancel his engagement with her and pursue her.
As the car zoomed past, they quickly crossed the street, and Qin Zhiyou heaved a sigh of relief.
Even if their official encounter was inevitable, he hoped his wife would be beautifully dressed, standing confidently in front of her. Not here, on this street, where Fang Rushuang was the second in command at the Bai Family’s headquarters, and Lu Weixi was merely an unknown small designer.
Both Lu Weixi and he had caused a stir because of Fang Rushuang, but both remained silent the entire way, neither speaking a word.
Upon arriving at the Qin Family mansion, perhaps due to switching vehicles along the way, Qin Zhigu arrived earlier. At that moment, he was walking away from the garage and saw Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi descending from a BMW. Though they had no interaction, the fact that they shared a car ride was evident.
At the entrance, Kong Jie came out, “Zhiyou’s back? I’ve picked out your clothes for the Saturday banquet, come in and choose.”
She noticed her son’s unblinking stare fixed on Lu Weixi.
When her son brought Lu Weixi home those years ago, although the Bai Family was struggling, they were still an appropriate match. Lu Weixi was beautiful and sweet-talking, and even the old patriarch Qin was won over. He would occasionally send her gifts. The value of the gifts was not high, but the sentiment conveyed was significant. She was looking forward to having her as a daughter-in-law.
Later, things went south in the Bai Family, and her parents divorced. But what of the divorce, a child is still one’s own. Regardless of the losses incurred by the ex-wife, their child wouldn’t be affected. Who would have guessed that her son would break up with Lu Weixi at such a time, and his new girlfriend would be Cai Yiren, who had always been hanging around them.
At that time, she always thought Qin Zhigu was going to inherit Hanhai, Lu Weixi was smart and impressive, and she wondered what status Cai Yiren held in comparison. Before she could voice her opposition, Lu Weixi had immediately started a relationship with Qin Zhiyou. Qin Zhigu called off his engagement and brought Lu Weixi to the Qin Family mansion, and the two began living together.
Later, her son and Cai Yiren started bickering and soon broke up. However, their breakup didn’t affect Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi. After a few months of living together, they got married. Possibly, out of awkwardness, their son left for abroad the next day. That departure lasted five years..
