What was there to say?

Lu Weixi did not respond and slightly lowered her head. After a while, she laughed lightly. “Doctor Zhao, I’ll leave my mother in your care.”

“What exactly is going on between you and Qin Zhiyou?”

At night when Lu Weixi was driving back to the villa on the West Mountain, the phone banking application sounded a notification, as Xue Feifei had just transferred the money over. Originally, she wanted to call Xue Feifei and express her gratitude, but Xue Feifei instantly shifted the topic to her.

“What can happen? It is what it is.” Lu Weixi rubbed her brows. The moment she drove into the garage, the subordinates walked over and opened the door. Lu Weixi held the phone and walked leisurely into the house.

Once she reached the door, Auntie Hao welcomed her and took her jacket and bag. “Madam, what would you like to have for dinner?”

Lu Weixi shook her head. She did not eat anything after waking up today, but she had no appetite at all.

Meanwhile on the phone, Xue Feifei was still talking. “Stop changing the topic, I’ve already seen the news, and who doesn’t know Qin Zhiyou went to find another woman? It’s some female host this time.” Perhaps the volume was a little too loud, but when Xue Feifei finished her statement, Auntie Hao dazed for a while and a tinge of sympathy appeared in her eyes.

Lu Weixi felt awkward and embarrassed, but she tried to look calm on the surface, pretending to be nonchalant as she changed her slippers before going up the stairs.

“What about you? What are you thinking now? Do you want to continue like this forever? Let Qin Zhiyou fool around outside and ignore him? He’s not nice to you either, right? If not, why won’t he even give you some money?”

Lu Weixi watched her surroundings and replied, “After saying so much, you’re just feeling the ache of lending me that fifty thousand dollars. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back as soon as possible.”

Xue Feifei’s face was filled with anger. “Just look at how much he fooled around during your years of marriage with him! Who does he think he is? Even though other people know that he’s married, they only know that his wife’s last name is ‘Bai’ and is the eldest miss of the Bai family, which is of equal standing with him. Other than the Qin family members and a few of us close ones, there isn’t a single picture of you outside and nobody knows about your identity.

“Are you willing to be his forever-standing red flag at home and let him cheat on you repeatedly as he plays around outside? Even if you need to think about your mother’s condition, you should think about yourself too, right?”

Lu Weixi held the phone and did not say anything.

Actually, she was pretty grateful for Qin Zhiyou. He did not marry her for love back then and even though he always fooled around outside these few years, he had never affected her status as Mrs. Qin. He even gave her a monthly allowance, even though she earned this money using her capabilities.

However, if not for this money, her mother would have long gone.

Also, before that incident, he treated her quite well…

Lu Weixi was still in a daze and did not hear whatever Xue Feifei said. “Weixi, there are only two reasons why a wife could be so nonchalant about her husband going out to find other women. It’s either because he gives you a lot of money, just like what the saying goesー’I’ve always wished for a lot of love, but if I can’t have it, a lot of money works too’, or it proves that you don’t even care about him. No matter which option it is, I don’t think it’s a wise choice for you to continue with your current marital status…”

Still Lu Weixi did not say anything, as she lowered her head in silence for quite some time. She pushed open the bedroom door and said, “I’ll talk to you later. I just reached…”

Before Lu Weixi could even say ‘home’, she discovered that Qin Zhiyou was actually in the bedroom.
