Lu Weixi didn’t respond, instead lowering her head slightly. In a moment, she gave a faint smile and said, “Then Doctor Zhao, I’m leaving my mother in your hands.”

“What’s really going on between you and Qin Zhiyou?”
On her drive back to the villa at West Mountain that night, Lu Weixi’s mobile bank had just received 50,000 from Xue Feifei. She initially wanted to call and express her thanks, but Xue Feifei immediately turned the conversation towards her instead.
“What can be going on, it’s exactly as it looks.” Lu Weixi rubbed her brow, she had just pulled into the garage, and a servant was there to help her open the car door. Holding her phone, Lu Weixi leisurely made her way to the house. Just as she got to the front door, Aunt Hao greeted her, taking her coat and bag, “Madam, what would you like for dinner?”
Lu Weixi shook her head, despite having not eaten anything since she got up this morning, she still had no appetite whatsoever.
“Don’t try to change the subject. I saw the news, Qin Zhiyou is out with another woman, this time it’s some kind of female anchor.” Perhaps the phone volume was a bit loud, when Xue Feifei finished speaking, Aunt Hao in front obviously paused and gave her a sympathetic look.
Lu Weixi, slightly embarrassed and irritated, maintained a calm expression on her face, acting as if nothing mattered while she changed her shoes and walked upstairs unhurriedly.
“What about now, what are you thinking about? Are you just going to keep on like this? Letting Qin Zhiyou do whatever he wants and not bothering with him? He’s not treating you well, otherwise why wouldn’t he give you a bit of money?”
Lu Weixi diverted the topic: “You keep going on about the 50,000 you loaned me. Don’t worry, I will repay you as soon as possible.”
Xue Feifei was indignant: “Look at him splurging money everywhere since you got married. While everyone knows he’s married, they only know that his wife’s surname is ‘Bai’, the young lady from the prestigious Bai family. But other than the Qin family and a few of us acquaintances, the outside world doesn’t have a single photo of you and no one knows who you are. Are you content playing the ever-steady flag at home, turning a blind eye to his infidelity? Even if you’re considering your mother’s sickness, you should consider yourself too?”
Lu Weixi held her phone in silence.
In fact, she was quite grateful to Qin Zhiyou. When he married her, it wasn’t because of love. Over the years, though he’s been involved with many women, he has never threatened her position as Mrs. Qin. Each month, he gives her an allowance — even though she earned that money by selling herself.
But without that money, her mother wouldn’t have lasted this long.
And before all that, he was actually quite nice to her…
Lost in her thoughts, Lu Weixi didn’t quite catch what Xue Feifei was saying: “Weixi, a wife who pays no attention to her husband’s affairs either has a lot of money from him, just like the book says, ‘I always hope to have a lot of love, but if there isn’t love, having a lot of money would also be good.’ Or it means you simply don’t care about him. Regardless, I think maintaining your current marriage is unwise…”
Lu Weixi stayed silent, her head bowed in quiet contemplation. She opened the slightly ajar door to her bedroom, “I can’t talk right now, I just arrived… ”
Before she could finish the word “home”, Lu Weixi realized that Qin Zhiyou was actually back, inside the bedroom.
