Lu Weixi stood up, “Sorry, I need to take a call.”
It was the voice of Housekeeper Hao on the other end: “Secretary Wang said, young master won’t be coming home for the next few days. He asked you not to disturb him with unnecessary calls.”
Lu Weixi nodded, “Understood.”
After hanging up the call, she didn’t immediately return. Instead, she went to the pantry and poured a cup of coffee for herself and Huang Caiwei.
“What, your boyfriend called?” Huang Caiwei teased with a laugh. Lu Weixi shook her head, Qin Zhiyou was not her boyfriend. He was her husband.
However, Lu Weixi never wore her wedding ring and never talked about her marital status. Everyone in the company assumed she was single.
While drinking coffee, Huang Caiwei also realized it was getting late: “I can’t thank you enough for today, working so late.”
Lu Weixi responded lightly: “It’s my duty.”
They said their goodbyes, and Lu Weixi went home. As predicted, Qin Zhiyou didn’t come home that day. With their son not around, Yang Mogui ignored her and didn’t come back until late.
The next day, Qin Zhiyou didn’t return home either.
The third day was a Saturday, and Lu Weixi didn’t need to work. She got up exceptionally late, just in time to align with Mrs. Yang Mogui’s waking time.
After lunch, Yang Mogui couldn’t help but ask: “Zhiyou doesn’t come home, don’t you take the initiative to find him? Come to the company with me later.” “Mom, there’s no need, right?” Lu Weixi was taken aback.
She had been married for five years and had never visited the Hanhai Group. She knew Qin Zhiyou hated it when she pried into his private affairs. She also understood that Qin Zhiyou took his work very seriously. He had fought for his position from Qin Zhigu and Qin Weijian, so he valued it greatly.
He would be angry if she engaged in his personal matters, not to mention visiting his company.
“Why is there no need? You’re his wife. I know you want to avoid suspicion, but you’re just going to deliver some soup for your husband, why not?”
Yang Mogui really looked down on Lu Weixi’s attitude. She and Qin Weizang used to be a contentious couple, but even when he treated her poorly, she still caused a scene.
Lu Weixi wasn’t a doormat. She wasn’t one to quietly endure. But her current demeanor seemed very indifferent, as if she didn’t care at all.
A wife shouldn’t be disinterested in her husband, unless – she really didn’t care about Qin Zhiyou at all.
Yang Mogui started to suspect: “Your relationship with Zhiyou… isn’t good, is it?”
Although for the past few years, Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi’s relationship could best be described as “icy”. But lately, her relationship with her son seemed to be improving. She didn’t know Lu Weixi, but she knew her son. If he genuinely disliked a woman, he wouldn’t be remotely close to her.
Based on the current situation, even if he held it against Lu Weixi being Qin Zhigu’s ex-girlfriend and possibly being infatuated with someone else, at least he was willing to touch her, which was not terrible.
Lu Weixi was drinking water when she heard Yang Mogui’s words, she almost choked. She remembered what Qin Zhiyou said, wanting Mrs. Yang to leave sooner, they would have to act more affectionate in front of her.
She immediately said: “Then I’ll call Zhiyou first.”
Lu Weixi grabbed her phone and immediately called Qin Zhiyou. After a while, the call was indeed answered.
On the other end was Qin Zhiyou’s calm voice: “Hello..”
