Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Looking for Trouble (3)

Bai Changyou felt too embarrassed to say anything. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng, despite helping Bai Changyou transfer his assets behind his back, couldn’t voice any harsh words in his presence. All he managed to do was awkwardly greet as he met eyes with Lu Weixi, “Hello, Sister Lu.”

Even if Fang Rushuang had conflicts with Lu Weixi, she didn’t have any quarrels with Lu Weixi’s mother. She nodded and also greeted, “Hello, Aunt Lu.”

Lu Weixi’s mother had long known Bai Changyou was back, so his appearance didn’t take her by surprise. Recently, her health had improved substantially; she could take walks and see things, only strenuous exercise was off-limits. Because she could move about, she had timely changes of clothes, and her hair was well-groomed after a bath. However, a sick person naturally doesn’t look as spirited as a regular person.

Strangely enough, these people all looked vibrant and shiny.

She had a nurse with her, and at that moment, she directed her assistant, “Could you get me a bottle of milk? I’m afraid I won’t sleep well tonight.”

The nurse nodded in agreement, casting a glance towards the group as she turned around to execute the task.

Mother Lu’s expression was calm, her face impassive. She had been through life and death situations too many times over the past five years; there was no point arguing and making a fuss with them.

“Is there something you need?” she asked.

When Bai Changyou divorced, he knew that she had liver cancer. Lu Weixi asked him for money, brandishing the diagnosis of his mother’s illness. But at that time, relations between him and Mother Lu were at their most tense. Lu Weixi had a confrontational attitude, acting like he was a wicked man who had wronged and owed his mother, pressuring him to pay. But people tend to rebel against such behavior. If Lu Weixi hadn’t been so impulsive, he might have given the money.

But the problem is, he didn’t pay.

Not only did he not pay, but he also went abroad for the sake of the Bai Family’s development, and he stayed away for several years.

Cancer has a survival rate. Seeing her alive after five years, to put it bluntly, was quite a surprise for him. Just as he was about to say something, Cai Yiren observed her mother’s nervous eyes and quickly stepped forward to greet, “Hello, Aunt Lu. It’s Yiren. I really didn’t expect to see you here. Is Weixi also here?”

Mother Lu turned to look at her. Of course, she knew that because of Cai Yiren’s interference, Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu had broken up. Cai Yiren was a child she had watched grow up, and on the whole, she had always been good to this girl. However, people’s hearts are unpredictable.

Mother Lu couldn’t be bothered to speak to her. However, Cai Yiren smiled and said, “I just saw Weixi recently, she doesn’t seem to be doing well. Mainly because of Qin Zhiyou… As you know, he was quite the playboy. My dad has scolded him a few times, but he doesn’t care, instead he’s doubled down. Now they say he’s involved with a female host, who not only came to ask Weixi to step aside gracefully but also filmed and released their intimate video! And Qin Zhiyou spoils her a lot. He’s had several arguments with Weixi over her, and I heard they’re even considering divorce. Although Qin Zhiyou has had many women in the past, at least twenty or thirty I heard, this time it’s too much. Aunt Lu, as Weixi’s mother, you can’t let this go!”

Cai Yiren’s words, a mix of truth and lies, had managed to convince Mother Lu. Just then, the nurse returned with the milk, and without responding to Cai Yiren, she and the nurse left. Later that night, after checking her phone, she fell ill.
