My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 612: Chapter 614: Missed (1)

Before this, due to her parents’ divorce and the involvement of a mistress, it was Cai Yiren’s mother, who was also a friend and neighbour for more than a decade. So, after things happened, Lu Weixi instantly cut ties with Cai Yiren. In school, they verbally clashed every time they met; suddenly, tensions ran high.

Qin Zhigu should have originally sided with Lu Weixi but because of something that happened on Qixi festival, he also harbored some resentment towards Lu Weixi. Moreover, Cai Yiren was performing well and even always “stood by” Lu Weixi’s side during their conflicts, like a hardcore fan of their couple.

So although Qin Zhigu verbally condemned mistresses when Cai Yiren was cursed, deep inside, his balance was subtly tipping towards her side.

Bai Changyou was thorough in his deception. He transferred nearly all his wealth to offshore channels. From the surface, the Bai Family only had a pile of bad debts, and even the house they lived in was mortgaged. After the divorce, Lu’s mother only received a little more than two million yuan and the old house.

Only because Lu’s mother didn’t value wealth that much, after all, her daughter was already in her fourth year of university, whether she was to study abroad or do postgraduation in the country, the money was sufficient.

At the time of the divorce, it was the end of the year. After the divorce, they moved. During New Year, mother and daughter lived in desolation.

It was the Lunar New Year’s eve, which used to be spent lovingly with family, but now, Bai Changyou had fully detached himself from them. The Lu Family was always sparse in numbers, both sets of grandparents passed away when Lu was very young. She and her mother sat in front of their old, dimly lit kitchen facing a pile of groceries just bought from the supermarket, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Lu’s mother, since young, was from a well-off family and was spoiled by her grandparents. After marrying Bai Changyou, initially, the mother-in-law used to cook, but later as the Bai family’s business kept doing better, they even hired several maids. So, Lu Weixi was even less likely to know how to cook.

Both of them tried their best, but in the end, they only cooked noodles, washed vegetables, boiled eggs in water; the only meat they had was store-bought bacon.

Lu Weixi laughed, “From now on, I will work hard to improve my cooking skills, aspiring to cook a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for mom! Or hire seven or eight servants to attend to you every day!”

“You,” Lu’s mother fondly stroked her head, “as long as you’re good with Zhigu, mom will be at ease.”

As soon as Qin Zhigu was mentioned, the smile on Lu Weixi’s face slightly faded. In front of her mother, she just laughed and said, “We’re getting along quite well.” But when she picked up her chopsticks to eat noodles, she couldn’t swallow a single bite.

Using the excuse of “Mom, I’ll go wash my hands first”, she went to the washroom, closed the door, and tried to call Qin Zhigu.

But when the call was made, it rang for a long, long time, and Qin Zhigu wouldn’t pick up.

This wasn’t the first time Qin Zhigu didn’t answer her call. Moreover, at school, he ignored her as if he hadn’t seen her whenever they met, and even once when he saw her far ahead on the street, Qin Zhigu turned around without a word, pretending not to see her and moved towards another street.

Previously, she had been preoccupied with her family issues and didn’t have the time to consider Qin Zhigu’s feelings. Now that she thought about it, they indeed seemed to have grown distant.

She called again, but still, no one answered. She called again, still the same.

After dialing seven or eight times, even Lu Weixi felt dispirited. Suddenly, it seemed like the door was knocked.

Could it be Qin Zhigu? He didn’t have time to pick up the call, so he came over in person?
