My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 823: Chapter 825: Annulment of Engagement (3)

“Dad, there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding between her and me,” Qin Zhigu regained his calm after a day, feeling that something was off. After all, they had been together for three years; he had to hear it from Lu Weixi herself, even if it was to say she was with Qin Zhiyou now.

He didn’t want to part ways in such a confused and unclear manner.

“A misunderstanding led to such a big fuss? I heard there was even wrist-slashing?” Qin Weijian was indeed a bit displeased after hearing about his son’s issues with Cai Yiren. It was one thing to have ups and downs in a relationship, but it was another thing entirely to involve a knife.

No parent would like a youngster who plays with a knife, and there were also rumors of mental health problems. Even a mentally ill person committing murder wouldn’t face the law—how could anyone accept that?

“Uncle, it was me… I was a little impulsive, it has nothing to do with Zhisu,” Cai Yiren quickly bowed her head in admission of guilt, displaying a very submissive attitude.

Qin Weijian didn’t look at her or pay attention to her mother. He simply turned to his son, “You’re also in your twenties, an adult. Don’t turn every little thing into a huge scene. You need to have a sense of proportion.”

...

Qin Zhigu nodded, and beside him, Fang Rushuang wanted to inquire about Qin Zhiyou’s situation but first came in to greet, “Grandfather Qin, Uncle Qin. I don’t know how Zhiyou is…”

Before she could finish, the phone rang in the living room. It was Qin Zhigu’s phone. He picked it up and froze when he saw the caller ID.

It wasn’t Lu Weixi, but it was her mother’s call.

He hesitated for a moment but still answered: “Aunt Lu.”

Seeing Qin Zhigu on the phone, Fang Rushuang didn’t think it appropriate to say more. As soon as this title was mentioned, everyone in the living room, including Bai Changyou, looked over.

On the other end of the call, Lu’s mother immediately started in a high pitch, “Qin Zhigu, where’s our Xixi?”

Qin Zhigu was stunned, shaking his head, “I don’t know.”

“What do you mean, you don’t know!” Lu’s mother was frantic. Her daughter didn’t come home last night, but to avoid worrying her mother, when she decided to be with Qin Zhiyou, she had already sent a message implying she would stay at school and not to worry.

Normally at this time, Lu Weixi would be a senior and could stay in the dormitory. Lu’s mother waited all night and morning, but still had not heard a thing from her daughter. She wouldn’t have bothered so much if it weren’t for the fact that they were supposed to go for a follow-up at the hospital today, which her daughter had agreed to attend with her. Her trip to the hospital in the morning was made alone.

But after returning from the hospital, there was still no word from Lu Weixi. When she called Lu Weixi’s cellphone, no one answered. She called the dormitory, but her daughter’s roommates bluntly said: “Wei Hui didn’t come back to stay.”

Lu’s mother became anxious. Then, she called Xue Feifei, intending to ask where her daughter was, but unexpectedly, she learned through Xue Feifei the explosive news—Qin Zhigu was dating Cai Yiren, and he had broken up with Lu Weixi. She also had been unable to contact her daughter since last night.

When people get anxious, they tend to think irrationally; Lu’s mother was close to breaking down, and after much thought, her only option seemed to be to call Qin Zhigu first, “She hasn’t been home all night, not back to her dorm nor at a friend’s place! You say you don’t know? When was the last time you saw her yesterday!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhigu became anxious, “I, I saw her in the afternoon, she…”

His mind briefly short-circuited. Surely Lu Weixi hadn’t—lost hope and done something foolish?

In the past, he would never think this way, but with Cai Yiren having cut her wrists several times already, who could tell if she might not have…
