地震时怎样保护自己

Chapter 237 - 238 Old Feelings (2)



Each day she used to worry about trivial things like if her clothes looked good, which brand of purse to buy, and at which mall to shop.

Unlike now, she has dramatically changed, grown cold and tough, putting on an indifferent face to everything.

Only in the depths of despair and pain do people learn to grow up.

“Xixi. My elder brother…is it true that he has a mistress? You two,…” Qin Zhigu could not hold back anymore. He had asked about Qin Zhiyou’s situation with her when they were on the boat.

Having been a recluse for five years, no news or gossip about Lu Weixi surfaced anymore. Most people on the boat thought her surname was still “Bai”, and they didn’t know her specific name.

As for Qin Zhiyou, he had a long list of well-known female companions and led a life that was anything but bland.

But it didn’t seem like she and Qin Zhiyou had any kind of affectionate feelings for each other, at least not love.

She once said to him with a puzzled look: “I truly can’t understand how people can have sex without feelings. Maybe men can do that, but I think women can’t.”

But what was going on between her and Qin Zhiyou now? It was evident that they led a life as a couple, but Qin Zhiyou never hesitated to indulge in other women. She always said she could not stand infidelity, so how could she put up with Qin Zhiyou?

Lu Weixi kept her calm, replying with a calm face after the initial shock, “What happens between us seems to have nothing to do with you.”

Qin Zhigu didn’t expect that this would be the first thing Lu Weixi would say to him after five years.

He was getting anxious, not to vie for anything, but genuinely worried for her: “But my elder brother has been so wrong to you. Weren’t you the one who had the hardest time accepting the intrusion of a third party?”

Lu Weixi shot him a glance, but didn’t answer.

Is it hard to understand? Actually, it’s not. When she chose Qin Zhiyou in the beginning, she already knew the kind of person he was. Her main goal was to get revenge on him and to compete with Bai Changyou. Of course, at that time, Qin Zhiyou’s fiancee’s father, who was a legal counselor at Bai Changyou’s company and had helped him to transfer his assets and fight his lawsuits, was conspiring against her and her mother. She deliberately stole Qin Zhiyou from that family.

Also, her mother was diagnosed with liver cancer at her most desperate and lonely time. It was Qin Zhiyou who helped her out.

Although Qin Zhiyou had been reluctant to provide her with living expenses before, it cannot be denied that her mother’s five-year treatment would not have been possible without Qin Zhiyou. Without him, terrifying diseases like cancer would have crushed them, even if they had money.

“Xixi, I don’t mean anything else. If my brother wrongs you, or if anyone dares to bully you, I’ll help you,” Qin Zhigu was getting anxious. He had always been a mild-mannered person, unlike Qin Zhiyou, who had to act on every idea immediately. Perhaps Qin Zhigu had thought about this for a while.

“No need, thank you,” Lu Weixi gently shook her head, not accepting his offer.

Five years ago, when he should have been anxious, he chose to believe Cai Yiren. What’s the point of talking to her now? And how could he help her when someone bullied her? Who did he think he was? Cai Yiren always cried out at the slightest thing, did he expect to play the white knight saving her from danger?
