My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 789: Chapter 791: Engagement Banquet (1)

She was afraid – truly afraid – that Qin Zhiyou would completely abandon her and return to his family, return to Lu Weixi’s side. If that happened, she would be without any remaining chances.

She accepted Qin Weijia’s financial support, but she was still unwilling to let go of Qin Zhiyou. On top of that, Qin Weijia kept issuing orders to her, leading her to hold onto him even tighter. Qin Zhiyou had been aware of what was happening, but he had the vague feeling that Qin Weijia was about to make a move – even their son’s wedding and daughter’s happiness were being negotiated, it was unlikely such a chess piece wouldn’t be used to their advantage.

She was not the same as Qin Weijian. At least Qin Zhigu had some abilities, some fame, but her own son and daughter were useless. If she didn’t try harder, she might end up with nothing in the future.

But, he always felt that the person controlling the strings behind the scenes this time was not as simple as they appeared on the surface. He felt like he was missing some vital information.

By the time he returned to the bedroom, it was already late, but Lu Weixi was still awake.

It was not that she was especially waiting for him, but the recent trivial matters genuinely affected her work. Before Qin Zhiyou arrived, her mother had also called.

Traditional media couldn’t disseminate information as quickly as real-time hot searches, and under Qin Zhiyou’s special care, hardly any TV station dared to broadcast such news. It was truly disgraceful – a group of reporters relentlessly pursuing a civilian who hadn’t committed any crimes. The person concerned was unwilling to publicize the matter, but they still hounded her everyday. The internet media didn’t care for face, but TV stations certainly did.

Lu Weixi’s mother indeed hadn’t received any news at first, and the caregiver, who had been taken care of by Qin Zhiyou, didn’t leak any information.

But in the hospital, there was a Zhao Zihuan.

He didn’t even need to show his face; he just needed to casually arrange for two women to gossip in front of Lu Weixi’s mother’s ward: “Did you know Qin Zhiyou’s former wife was the mother of a patient who stayed in this hospital? I think I saw her at the hospital before.”

“Didn’t everyone in the hospital know when her mother was undergoing a rescue operation? They just didn’t publicize it. Now it has become public knowledge, I heard her workplace was surrounded by reporters and she didn’t even have a bodyguard with her. Seems like this Qin Zhiyou really doesn’t care for his wife. He is not at all like XXX.”

In any case, they depicted Lu Weixi’s situation as being dire and made Qin Zhiyou’s “lack of action” seem colder. Lu Weixi’s mother, who already disliked Qin Zhiyou, was alarmed by the news and immediately looked it up online. Even though the news visibility was suppressed, there was always some information available, and in an instant, she was shocked.

Lu Weixi explained to her mother many times, like how she disliked having bodyguards around and how she insisted on not letting Qin Zhiyou send people. She also explained how she and Qin Zhiyou had a good relationship, but Lu Weixi’s mother was not ready to listen to any of it.

In the end, her mother came straight to the point: “If you two do not divorce, don’t even think about seeing me again! I will not acknowledge you, let alone him! I mean what I say!”

Qin Zhiyou entered the room exactly when Lu Weixi’s mother was screaming these words. Although Lu Weixi didn’t put it on speaker, the room was very quiet, and he naturally heard it. It wasn’t the first time he had heard such fighting, but each time it felt like a dagger through his heart, not for himself, but for her.

Lu Weixi also noticed, she got up on her own, he encircled her with his arm, and she buried her head in his chest.

Nobody spoke for a long time, and finally, Qin Zhiyou was the one to break the silence: “I suspect… Bai Changyou is the person behind all of this.”
