Xue Feifei looked surprised and tugged at the hem of Lu Weixi’s clothes.

Lu Weixi seemed to realize something and narrowed her neck, looking back to see Qin Zhiyou’s calm gaze in the distance. He was in deep discussion with a few executives and hadn’t cast a glance in their direction. She sighed in relief, her voice had been very small just now; he probably didn’t hear, she thought.

As he led the way, the women who followed him quickly caught up, their high heels and swaying waists pushing her out of the center circle. When the crowd surged forward, Lu Weixi instinctively stepped back. In no time, Qin Zhiyou’s Mercedes pulled in and he waved his goodbye to the crowd, his gaze barely lingering on her as it swept past.

Only Secretary Wang noticed her. He inclined his head towards her, showing a hint of recognition before he returned to standing by Qin Zhiyou’s side. Surrounded by a crowd of people, Qin Zhiyou bent down and got into the car. From start to finish, he barely acknowledged her presence. To him, it was as if they were parallel lines that would never cross.

Moreover, she wasn’t sure if it was her imagination but as the car started, it seemed to deliberately move towards their location, spurting out a cloud of exhaust fumes in their direction before driving off.

When the crowd had mostly dispersed, Xue Feifei pointed in the direction Qin Zhiyou had left and exclaimed, “What kind of man is he! This is too much! Did you offend him earlier? Why does he treat you this way?”

Offend him? Just last month, he had told her outright that he was “very satisfied” with her. So, he must have overheard their conversation…

“Still, when you mentioned dividing properties, it really startled me.” Xue Feifei patted her chest and laughed, “The more you yield to men like him, the more they think they can bully you.”

Just before, Lu Weixi was contemplating how much she could get if they eventually divorced. Even 10% would be enough to cover her mother’s medical expenses.

However, thoughts were just thoughts. When she entered the Qin family, Qin’s mother had a lawyer secretly draft a harsh agreement for her. One of the clauses was that if she initiated divorce for any reason, she would leave with nothing.

Yet, Qin Zhiyou also had his reasons for not divorcing.

While Lu Weixi was debating the divorce issue, Qin Zhiyou in the car was doing the same.

He was reclining on the back seat, staring at the car’s ceiling, seemingly deep in thoughts. Secretary Wang in the front seat was reporting, “Mr. Qin, during our one-month absence, the Second Master acted as the company’s proxy and apparently, there have been some shifts in the HR department. Some senior executives in the Projects Department were actually transferred. On the grand dame’s side, no major moves were made, except that yesterday, news came that she and the young master and mistress from the Zhi family were playing golf with the Southern Gang, it seems they might be seeking financial sponsorship for a project.”

He had been talking for a while, but Qin Zhiyou hadn’t responded. Secretary Wang looked at him through the rearview mirror, his handsome face was furrowed into a frown.

Rich people have their own concerns, just like Qin Zhiyou. He was the only son, but his father had half-brothers and sisters. Although he was the eldest grandson, his father passed away early and his grandfather had ceased managing the family affairs. Only five years ago, he took back his rightful position of CEO from his uncle..
