Chapter 292: Return (4)

Three days from now, which falls on this coming Sunday. Wait a minute, if she remembered correctly, it seemed to be… the first day of the next lunar month.
That’s the day Huang Qichu and Yu Sihua are getting married.
In fact, whether Huang Qichu and Yu Sihua get married isn’t important, but what she fears is, what if Xue Feifei shows up that day?
Actually, so much time has passed that she doesn’t think Xue Feifei would do anything irrational. But what if, on the off chance, she does? Now the Yu family is powerful while Xue Feifei is in a weaker position. If any minor disputes arise, the Yu family wouldn’t take it up with Huang Qichu, but lay all the blame on Xue Feifei.
Lu Weixi immediately asked, “Do you know when the foundation stone ceremony is?”
Manager Liao was a bit puzzled, but still answered, “I had someone calculate it, and typically foundation ceremonies are held early in the morning, but the lucky time on that day is at three in the afternoon. There’ll be a dinner arranged for the evening.”
Lu Weixi pondered. Their wedding was scheduled for noon. As long as Xue Feifei doesn’t show up during the wedding, it will be fine. So, she nodded in agreement.
Manager Liao, as expected, was quite pleased and went on to discuss the arrangements for the foundation ceremony, mentioning that some friends would be invited to attend, but Lu Weixi didn’t pay it much mind.
The meal indeed lasted until eight o’clock. When the gathering ended, Manager Liao still cheerfully arranged for several drivers from the company to come over: “I know everyone has had a drink and it’s not convenient to drive. I’ve asked the company’s drivers to drive you home.”
The executives who were unaware of the situation were all full of gratitude. For a small company like Lulu, Manager Liao usually wouldn’t care much about it. Being so considerate, he really knew how to interact with people.
Only Lu Weixi knew that this was his attempt to curry favor with her. However, considering her limited influence in front of Qin Zhiyou, she probably wouldn’t have much say.
“Thank you.”
“No need to be polite, Ms. Lu.”
Soon, Lu Weixi was driven home in her Chang’an vehicle. The traffic was slightly congested on the way, and it was already half past nine when she reached the Qin Family mansion.
As soon as the car was parked, Lu Weixi hurriedly got off. Qin Zhiyou had said he would be home by nine, and she suspected he was probably home by now. He was certainly a classic case of being strict with others but lenient with himself. If he was late, it was fine. But if she was late – she could forget about having a peaceful night.
At this hour, the night talks downstairs had already ended. She rushed back to her room, opened the door only to find it empty.
Strange, had he gone to the study first?
Lu Weixi didn’t think much of it. She first dealt with some work, changed her clothes, and took a bath. When she stepped out, it was already past ten, and there was still no sign of anyone outside.
The room had run out of water. She went downstairs to the dining room to pour herself a cup of water, and unexpectedly bumped into Qin Zhisu.
Qin Zhisu had clearly already returned to his room, changed and bathed. At this time, even the servants left, leaving only the two of them. The dim yellow light in the dining room created a blurry world.
Lu Weixi glanced at him, didn’t greet him, nonchalantly filling a cup of water from the dispenser.
Her long hair was still somewhat wet. As they brushed past each other, Qin Zhisu caught a faint whiff of shampoo scent from her, a familiar one. She used the same brand of shampoo five years ago.
Qin Zhisu was taken aback and grabbed her arm as she was about to leave.
