The caregiver was startled, but she recalled, “There were two men and three women. Both men were probably in their fifties or sixties, and one of the women was about the same age. The other two were younger, in their twenties perhaps. Their clothing and appearance were quite upscale – unmistakably wealthy.”
Two men and three women. A thought flashed across Qin Zhiyou’s mind. He immediately pulled out his phone to search, quickly finding a photo of Bai Changyou, pushing it in front of the caregiver. “Tell me, was this man there?”
The caregiver looked closely for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, yes, yes. One of the men was him!”
It became obvious. Two men and three women, of matching age. It was Bai Changyou, Cai Yiren and her mother. On the other side were Fang Zheng and Fang Rushuang.
As for why they came here, didn’t Qin Zhiyou also come to the hospital just now? They were attending a big dinner party when suddenly a man had a stroke and they rushed him to the hospital. That man was the president of a big company, who might have been conducting business dealings. Many people who were concerned came along, and Bai Changyou, so skilled at social maneuvering, must have been among them as well.
As luck would have it, they went to the same hospital and ran into Lu’s mother, who was taking a walk downstairs.
Lu Weixi, who was standing nearby, naturally heard this as well. Without needing to think, he was certain that his mother must have encountered Bai Changyou and the others and had to endure their ridicule. They must also have made Lu’s mother aware of his own situation as a matter of amusement.
Upon hearing this, Lu’s mother must have returned to her room to look into Qin Zhiyou’s affairs. When these two events converged, his mother, a gentle and reserved woman, must have been unable to bear the mental strain, resulting in the onset of her illness.
Qin Zhiyou was not a fool. While he found out that this incident was related to Bai Changyou, he also knew that he held responsibility. After all, he had been the one to provoke Liu Yiyi, and caused such a commotion over the video scandal. He had to shoulder this blame.
He immediately grasped Lu Weixi’s hand tightly: “Weixi, I acknowledge that I am party at fault here. No matter how you look at it, I was the one who provoked Liu Yiyi. And this video scandal has become a huge issue. I admit, I was adding fuel to the fire. But my intention was to sever all ties with her, I didn’t know… Mum would fall ill because of it! I swore in front of my Grandpa last time, there won’t be any other women in my life, it would only be you. I’m not saying this to justify myself, Mum’s life hangs in the balance right now and that’s the main thing. Whether you want to settle scores or punish me, the most important thing right now is Mum’s illness. Let’s see through this incident first.”
At this moment, he might be more concerned about Lu’s mother’s well-being than Lu Weixi himself. Because he knew that if anything happened to Lu’s mother, there would be no chance for him and Lu Weixi.
No, not only will there be no chances, perhaps in the future, he would become her enemy, the person she loathes most!
Even though he knew that Bai Changyou played a part in all this, but in considering that Qin Zhiyou was also undeniably involved, Lu Weixi looked at him with a gaze as if he was her enemy.
But, as much as she loathed Qin Zhiyou, one of his sentences really struck a chord in her heart: the most important thing now is her mother’s illness.
Her mother was still in the intensive care unit, her life hanging in the balance. No matter how great the rage, it could not surpass the importance of her mother’s life..
