Chapter 510: Chapter 511: Taking Responsibility by Force (3)
Her body had not yet recovered fully, and Yu Sixing didn’t know how to restrain himself, so she had long felt too tired to stand. Coupled with an emotional breakdown, the double assault left Xue Feifei squatting by the street, clutching her phone, unable to control the tears streaming down her face.
At the street side, traffic was constantly flowing and groups of people were passing by. Amid all the noise – the clamoring voices, car horns, and hawkers calling out to attract customers – her sorrowful sobbing drowned out, making it seem insignificant.
Lu Weixi was on the other end of the line, she didn’t utter a single word but didn’t hang up either. She probably guessed that Xue Feifei was in pain, but since she did not know what had specifically happened and chose not to speak up, she was left quietly listening.
After what felt like an eternity, Xue Feifei roughly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, making a fist as she did so.
After taking a deep breath, she slowly stood up, regaining her composure before finally speaking: “It’s nothing. I just got some sand in my eyes.”
Her voice was still heavily marked by sniffles.
Lu Weixi was very worried: “Feifei, where are you? Tell me, I’ll come over right away.”
She was afraid. The last time Xue Feifei had cried like that was when her father had run off after accruing a huge amount of debt and loan sharks had come to their door.
So many years had passed, Xue Feifei who always exhibited resilience and resolve, what kind of ordeal could make her break down? Was it her or had something happened to her family members?
“It’s okay, it really is.”
Xue Feifei wiped her face hard, causing her skin to sting before her emotions started to calm down.
“I’m still out, I’ll call you later tonight.”
Xue Feifei abruptly ended the call and hailed a taxi.
Just after Xue Feifei left, Yu Sixing, who had rushed out after her, stood at the spot where she had been squatting while on the phone, and frustratedly looked around.
She had left so hastily that she had dropped her wallet. Yu Sixing picked it up and ran after her.
The wallet was not the point though, the main thing was he wanted to keep talking to her, to keep her close to him. He had left the lobby first, wandered around it for a while and took a long time searching nearby. Just when he arrived at her phone call spot, she had already left.
However, him leaving didn’t matter much, after all he knew Xue Feifei’s address. How could he not take responsibility? He must take responsibility. To run away without taking responsibility would be the epitome of a scumbag.

On the other side, Lu Weixi was holding her cell phone, resting it against her chin as if contemplating something.
Qin Zhiyou was at the dining table, watching her being lost in thought for quite a while, then tapped her forehead with his finger: “What’s the matter with you?”
“Nothing, it just feels a bit odd. I feel like something’s up with Feifei …”
Qin Zhiyou had originally been drinking porridge. Hearing Xue Feifei’s name almost made him choke. He swallowed the porridge with great difficulty and quickly found an excuse, “The porridge is a bit hot.”
Hot? Wasn’t it on the table for quite a while now? Lu Weixi didn’t think too much about it, but he said: “You always seem distracted lately, is it something to do with your mom …”
Lu Weixi shook her head: “No.”
Her mother had not mentioned the divorce with Qin Zhiyou recently, but she could sense that her mother’s disdain towards Qin Zhiyou was growing by the day.
“Perhaps, I should explain things to her personally.” Always being stuck in this stalemate wasn’t ideal after all.
He was the younger generation, the one who had done wrong, so of course he should take the initiative to apologize.
However, Doctor Zhao suggested against stirring up any more drama for her mother: “Forget it.”
