Before he left for Europe, he was aware of the situation and knew that her mother’s condition had worsened. The original plan was to stay in Europe for another week, which would total to almost a month. Coincidentally, some bothersome relatives here were also making some moves, so he decided to return early.
Looking at the messages on his phone from her, besides the one sent today, the previous one was also sent a month ago. For an entire month, she didn’t send him any messages nor called him.
There are still a few days left in this month…
Leaning against the wall of the corridor outside the door, Qin Zhiyou stared at his phone for a long time, without noticing Yu Sixing and He Weiyou’s arrival. Yu Sixing asked, “Is it because of some trivial family matters? Your aunt took Zhimei to meet my grandfather a few days ago, with the intention of arranging a marriage, right?”
He Weiyou also chuckled, teasing, “Isn’t that great? You are getting a wife for free.” As he spoke, he handed a glass of wine to Qin Zhiyou. Qin Zhiyou took a sip, holding the square glass with his slender fingers, his lips curving into a subtle smile, without saying a word.
With a puzzled expression, Yu Sixing then said, “However, my brother went to America last month and saw Zhisu at Berkeley. He said he passed his thesis defense and might return soon.”
Upon hearing that, Qin Zhiyou’s brows furrowed deeply, his slender fingers gripping the wine glass tightened immediately. After a while, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he finished the rest of the wine in one gulp. Shoving the glass into Yu Sixing’s arms, he strode away with his hands in his pockets.
He Weiyou nudged Yu Sixing with his elbow and whispered to him, “If you can’t say anything good, it’s better not to say anything.”
Everyone knew that among the younger generation, Qin’s grandfather liked Zhisu the most. There was once a rumor that he intended to let Zhisu take over the family business.
Yu Sixing regretted his words, holding the wine glass he followed He Weiyou and Qin Zhiyou out of the night club area, down the elevator. When they reached the dining area, Qin Zhiyou suddenly stopped, and Yu Sixing almost bumped into him. He Weiyou pulled him aside and pointed to the corner, “Doesn’t that woman look a bit like Lu Weixi?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Zhiyou abruptly changed his direction and headed straight to the dining area.
On the sofa seat-
Although Lu Weixi had a smile on her face, it was visibly strained. She arrived prepared today, bringing Xiaochen and Xiaoqian as her shields against excessive drinking. There were also a secretary and a driver on the side of Director Liu. Ignoring the driver, the secretary was experienced and managed to drink Xiaochen and Xiaoqian under the table. Seeing that all the bystanders were down, Director Liu gradually moved next to her on the round sofa. His greasy face was intensely staring at Lu Weixi’s face and figure, periodically taking a sip of his drink, as if her appearance could improve its taste.
Lu Weixi felt uncomfortable under his gaze but still managed to keep a smile on her face, slowly moving backwards, “Director Liu, I’m curious if you have any suggestions about the plans I mentioned earlier?”
Director Liu responded with an “oh”, his beady eyes never left her, fearing she might run away. He leaned in with a grin, “I do have some thoughts, but it’s not convenient to discuss them here. We can find a quiet place to talk in detail..”
