Chapter 585: Chapter 587: Asking You for a Divorce (5)

“Mom, do you really….” Lu Weixi hadn’t anticipated, at all, her mother’s deception today.

She wasn’t really ill. All this was just a ploy to catch her and Qin Zhiyou together—it was the weekend after all and if they were indeed together, they’d definitely pay a visit together. And their visit had just confirmed her mother’s suspicions!

Despite Zhao Zihuan’s apparent absence from the hospital this time, Qin Zhiyou deeply suspected this incident to have been orchestrated by Zhao.

It must be Zhao who informed her mother about her shopping with Lu Weixi. They had just run into each other at Hanhai Shopping! His mother-in-law, Lu Weixi’s Achilles’ heel, always led him to cave in whenever she was mentioned.

“Mom, didn’t you say you were very ill?” After calming herself down, Lu Weixi observed her mom. Even though her complexion hadn’t fully regained its color, she seemed energetic. There was no sign of a worsening condition.

No wonder when she called the nurse earlier, the nurse was hesitant to share any information, reluctant to reveal the doctor’s identity—they were all waiting for her here!

Her mother evaded her question, instead directing a cold gaze towards Qin Zhiyou. “Why is he here? Didn’t you say you were getting a divorce?”

Her eyes swept over her daughter and Qin Zhiyou’s sporty outfits. They weren’t from the same brand, but they were suspiciously similar, like a couple’s coordinated outfits. She glanced next at the shopping bags in Qin Zhiyou’s hand—the logo read “XX-Lingerie.”

Not only had Lu Weixi gone shopping for such intimate apparel with Qin Zhiyou, but they were also dressed like a couple. Yet they insisted they were getting a divorce? What a joke!

Left speechless by her mother’s words, Lu Weixi had indeed been shopping with Qin Zhiyou. They had also watched a movie together, shared a kiss, and when he’d mentioned the prospect of children, she hadn’t rejected the idea outright.

She had indeed fallen helplessly in love with Qin Zhiyou, her head dizzy with infatuation. On one hand, she was meticulously negotiating a separation of property for their divorce while on the other, she was unable to leave him.

She was a disobedient daughter, choosing to disregard her mother’s deepest wish for her to regain her freedom.

“Mom, I…”

“Didn’t you promise me you’d divorce Qin Zhiyou? Didn’t you say that your work was going smoothly, and that you were capable of standing on your own even if you got divorced? Didn’t you tell me how much you detested him, abhorred his flirtatious nature, and found his womanizing repugnant? Didn’t you say the divorce was almost finalized? So, were all those lies?”

Lu Weixi was speechless at her mother’s barrage of accusations. After all, even though she was in love with Qin Zhiyou, deep down, she still distrusted him.

During their five-year marriage, his notorious reputation was outstandingly bad. There had even been a massive scandal not long ago.

Moreover, his sudden change of heart was forced, not genuine—a necessary evil spurred by circumstance. If his grandfather hadn’t threatened him with his inheritance and control of Hanhai, even with a slight fondness for her, he wouldn’t have agreed under such stringent conditions!

Was his constant coaxing about having a child merely a ploy to bind her to him?
