My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 442: Chapter 443: Outburst (2)

Xiaochen nodded, “Yes, her mother is seriously ill.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhigu immediately asked, “Tell me which hospital her mother is in.”

…

Nobody expected Qin Zhigu to be there, and they all were taken aback at his unexpected arrival. Especially Cai Yiren, who learned from Qin Zhigu that Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou had been absent for two nights. Combining this with what she had seen of Lu Weixi’s mother’s condition that night, she quickly concluded that perhaps her mother’s illness had worsened.

Bai Changyou had a friend who was a doctor at this hospital. After inquiring, he confirmed that her mother was in the intensive care unit, prompting everyone to rush over.

Qin Zhigu knew much more about the Bai Family’s situation than Qin Zhiyou did. He had heard their argument from afar, and particularly, Cai Yiren’s words. Even the typically soft-spoken can erupt in anger, like now: “Cai Yiren, what right do you have to accuse others? Weren’t you the recipient of Aunt Lu’s kindness as well? So how are you treating her now?”

Being reprimanded by others was one thing, but being scolded by Qin Zhigu made Cai Yiren feel deeply aggrieved.

She stayed silent, but Cai Yiren’s mother couldn’t help defending her daughter. “Even if Yiren didn’t treat others well, she was completely devoted to you. How could you talk to her like this?” she asked.

Looking at Cai Yiren, who seemed soft and harmless, Qin Zhigu closed his eyes. “If I had the choice, I’d rather do without such devotion.”

If it wasn’t for her affections, for her instigations, he wouldn’t have broken up with Lu Weixi.

Cai Yiren looked stunned as she stared at Qin Zhigu. She was still fond of the man who she had loved at first sight. During the freshmen orientation in their first year, both she and Lu Weixi were attracted to Qin Zhigu. And yet, Qin Zhigu only had eyes for Lu Weixi.

Before long, he would always accompany Lu Weixi to every lecture, and eventually admitted his feelings for her. He never knew that she too attended those lectures, only she didn’t sit in the front row with Lu Weixi.

Eventually, they fell in love. The second son of Hanhai and the heiress of the Bai Family corporation, both striking in appearance, were the perfect match. Did he know that she, too, was always there, watching their sweet moments, her heart agonizingly heavy with pain?

Even when she mustered the courage to confess her feelings to him, she was rejected outright. She could never forget that night; it was Lu Weixi’s 20th birthday. Qin Zhigu gently shook his head, “I’m sorry, I only love Xixi. I do not love you and I cannot accept your confession.”

He was usually gentle and would courageously stand up for her whenever she was oppressed. Yet, when he rejected her, he was merciless!

Lu Weixi, Lu Weixi, why was it always about Lu Weixi!

She was the true successor, while she was just an orphan living under someone else’s roof. She was beautiful, charming, and intelligent. Everyone only saw her and ignored her own existence.

Moreover, the most painful was having to silently watch Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu’s sweet moments and become their background. When Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu quarreled, she was expected to mediate between them. Seeing how upset Qin Zhigu was with Lu Weixi’s capriciousness, she would feel a hundred times more pain than Qin Zhigu. Yet, she had to persuade him to make up with Lu Weixi!

She knew in her heart that even after they broke up over a misunderstanding, after he got together with her, or even after going abroad and having several other girlfriends…

In Qin Zhigu’s eyes and heart, there would always be only one Lu Weixi!
