Chapter 586: Chapter 588: Asking You for a Divorce (6)

Some matters, if you don’t dwell on them, are bearable. But once they cross your mind, they become terrifying.

She was indeed in love with him, not for his money, power, or anything unrelated to love, but simply because he was him.

She was also certain that Qin Zhiyou now had feelings for her. Perhaps because they were physically compatible or perhaps — he was gradually becoming interested in her feelings as well.

Regardless, there was indeed a change in how Qin Zhiyou felt about her. There was affection.

But how long she could assure these feelings would last? Even with his grandfather’s instructions, he wouldn’t expand outside while his grandfather was alive. But once his grandfather passed away, and he took over all of Han Hai, then what?

At that time, with all the power in his hands, nobody would be able to hinder him or threaten his actions. Would he then lead an easy-going life again?

Of course, by then, she may have already given birth to a child, becoming the successor to Han Hai; her position then would be stable, and nobody could challenge her authority.

But was this the marriage she hoped for? No real love, just dependencies on power and wealth. Did she need this kind of fake love?

Although Lu Weixi was silent, Qin Zhiyou couldn’t help but speak, “Mom, Wei Xi is really worried about you. She came as soon as she heard that something had happened to you.”

Qin Zhiyou planned to play the emotional card first. WeiXi’s mother was soft-hearted, especially towards Lu Weixi. Seeing Lu Weixi at a loss for words, both pitying her and being unsure of how to defend herself, he took the initiative to speak for her.

“Shut up! I don’t have a son-in-law like you!

WeiXi’s mother was indeed soft-hearted, but when it came to her daughter, she took a strong stand! Moreover, she herself had suffered from marital betrayal. She knew very well the deep, bone-piercing pain that was felt after such treachery!

She was highly reluctant to accept Qin Zhiyou’s “blessing” for her treatment. After her diagnosis early on, she refused to live in the hospital permanently. Instead, she chose home treatment for her cancer. It wasn’t until her condition worsened significantly in the past year as the cancer cells metastasized, that she had admitted herself into the hospital for treatment.

Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou had been having this secret deal for the past five years, of which she had no knowledge. She thought her daughter was working and earning on her own, gradually establishing a position and savings for herself.

Moreover, she assumed that the Lu Weixi’s marriage to Qin Zhiyou was just a way to get back at Qin Zhigu, a battle for pride in front of Bai Changyou. Plus, the experts Qin Zhiyou hired for her and the equipments he donated were all done in secret. She thought to herself, if this son-in-law could not provide love, respect, devotion, then what was his purpose – except for providing a luxurious life for her daughter?

And now, she discovered her daughter was gradually falling in love with Qin Zhiyou!

Without love, no matter how bad Qin Zhiyou was, he could not break her daughter’s heart. But once she started loving him, her daughter would get hurt and be in more pain! Qin Zhiyou, a playboy, would certainly break her heart, regardless of how magnanimous she was. Even if she provided him a haven, she would still end up stoned by his infidelity.

WeiXi’s mother looking at Lu Weixi: “You also know how your father and I divorced. It’s better for you to divorce him now, since you two haven’t spent decades together or had a child. If you had one, it would be even more trouble. I don’t want to say anything more. If you still choose Qin Zhiyou, don’t consider yourself my daughter.”
