“Therefore, I must strive to rise, and no matter how many difficulties I encounter along the way, I will pretend they’re invisible.” Lu Weixi looked at Xue Feifei, who’s anger had yet to dissipate, and spoke calmly, “Let’s go. Would you like to have a drink? I’ll accompany you.”

“Shouldn’t it be me accompanying you?” After her outburst, Xue Feifei gradually regained her composure. Although her confinement was over, it would be best to stay close to her apartment, so her manager wouldn’t find her missing. Therefore, Lu Weixi drove her back to Yuechun Apartments and they found a nearby bar to sit down.

What Lu Weixi didn’t know was that as soon as they left the SPA, Liu Yiyi received a call from Secretary Wang. In a calm voice, the secretary instructed, “Mr. Qin said, Ms. Liu, you don’t need to participate in the inaugural event. You can arrange your schedule freely.”

Before Liu Yiyi could say anything, Secretary Wang hung up the phone. After hanging up, he looked in the rearview mirror. Qin Zhiyou was sitting in the back seat of the car, motionless, as though he hadn’t heard anything.

Their car was in the company’s parking lot, and after Qin Zhiyou got in, he only asked to make the call and was silent ever since.

Secretary Wang hesitated for a moment before reporting, “Mr. Qin, regarding the lottery event at Hanhai Shopping…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a sharp glint in Qin Zhiyou’s eyes in the rearview mirror, a look he was all too familiar with. It meant: Can’t you see I’m thinking, stop babbling!

So, Secretary Wang decided to shut up and replied via WeChat that they would follow their procedures and there was no need for further reports. The inside of the car once again fell silent.

The reason Qin Zhiyou summoned Liu Yiyi was, of course, because his aunt had some movement. He would naturally have to utilize the spy he had paid, Liu Yiyi. Some vague interactions would make his aunt believe his favor towards Liu Yiyi even more.

Furthermore, he did need a female companion for the inaugural event. Of course, it would be best if Lu Weixi could come, but she firmly refused. He initially wanted to use this opportunity to add some chips to Liu Yiyi’s side, but he was afraid it would reach Lu Weixi’s ears—despite the fact she may not care about it, he still refused.

In the past week, he was indeed very busy. He had visited the shipyard a few days ago, and spent the following days preparing for an economic forum. He was swamped and had no time to go home.

But when he didn’t go home, Lu Weixi really didn’t make any calls or send a single WeChat message. The only call made was under Ms. Yang’s coercion.

Sometimes, he really wanted to take off for a year and a half and wait until she was poor and had no money left, which would presumably get her to frantically summon him back home, right?

However, after venting his frustrations, he still opened his mouth and said, “Let’s go.”

Secretary Wang asked, “Where to?”

Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw Qin Zhiyou’s serious face. Secretary Wang instantly interpreted the look and immediately turned the steering wheel, “I understand, back home.”

The car sped along the road towards the West Mountain villa. As soon as the car arrived at the entrance, before it even stopped, Qin Zhiyou quickly opened the car door and got out.

Upon entering, Aunt Hao came to greet him. He handed over his jacket with an indifferent expression, bent down to change shoes, and asked with a calm and serene tone, as if he were making casual conversation, “Where is she?”

Without specifying who “she” referred to, Aunt Hao had no choice but to reply, “Young Madam has gone out. Your mother isn’t here either.”

Qin Zhiyou nodded, given that today was Sunday, her going out was normal.. Feigning disinterest, he asked, “Where did she go to?”
