Chapter 1245: Chapter 1248: After the Separation (4) Chapter 1245: Chapter 1248: After the Separation (4) “How could that be? I’m thrilled that you could come over,” Lu’s mom spoke sincerely.

Back when she was Mrs. Bai, she had helped Bai Changyou start his business from scratch and built the Bai Family enterprise, becoming a wealthy lady, unmatched in splendor. Although she herself was still gentle and humble, not one to curry favor, the people around her were numerous, all flattering and speaking well of her. But then Bai Changyou betrayed her. She left him in a huff and got divorced, receiving little of the fortune, and those who used to orbit around her seemed to disappear overnight.

Later, although her daughter married Qin Zhiyou, who then took control of Hanhai, over the years, Qin Zhiyou didn’t pay much attention to Lu Weixi. She herself had cancer, with no one kind beside her.

Only Xue Feifei, from a young age, hadn’t fawned over them because of their past splendor, nor had she left them when they fell into hardship. Hearing now that Xue Feifei had become a famous actress and still came to visit Lu Weixi, carrying her luggage, naturally made her happy.

She could also see that her daughter genuinely regarded her as a friend, so she too treated Xue Feifei like a junior. Even after she passed away one day, her family’s Xixi wouldn’t be all alone.

“Really? Then I’ll stay here tonight!” Xue Feifei had initially planned to stay in a nearby hotel. But as an artist, going to a hotel alone seemed a bit odd, and it was more fitting to stay with Lu Weixi, of course, only if they didn’t mind.

Lu’s mom nodded and directly instructed her daughter, “Go make the bed for Feifei and tidy up the blankets.”

Lu Weixi wasn’t refusing but asked, “Don’t you have work today?”

“No, not today or tomorrow.” Originally, she planned to return and have some alone time with Yu Sixing, but he wasn’t home, which was just as well.

“What about you? You aren’t planning to go back to the Qin Family tonight, are you?”

Xue Feifei’s counter-question caused Lu Weixi and her mother to stiffen slightly. Lu Weixi quickly said, “You come over, and I’ll help you make the bed. Does this bed and blanket look okay? You can sleep on my bed; I’ll go to my mom’s.” Saying this, she headed off to the bedroom on her own.

Xue Feifei immediately followed, “Why make it so complicated? Let’s just share, girl talk at night. Anyway, it’s been so long since we’ve chatted. Since we can’t go out for drinks, let’s just stay up and talk.”

Saying this, the two of them headed to the bedroom, one after the other.

Lu’s mom watched Lu Weixi’s retreating back, feeling a sigh surge within her.

She could sense that although her daughter was divorced, her heart still held a place for Qin Zhiyou. Compared to her fierce breakup with Qin Zhigu, this more lukewarm attitude might prove that her daughter had fallen deep this time.

She once asked her daughter if she regretted the divorce after it happened. Lu Weixi hesitated for a moment and then said the truth, “I have him in my heart, but I can’t forgive his disloyalty. It’s like a thorn in my heart, the more I love, the deeper it pierces.”

She understood that feeling; she had once felt the same. Fortunately, although Lu Weixi was emotionally drained, she thrived in her career. After the divorce, Qin Zhiyou, as agreed, still introduced her to projects. She didn’t outright refuse but chose appropriate ones to engage with. Tomorrow afternoon, after taking her mother for a medical recheck, she was scheduled to meet with business partners.

But as soon as she and Xue Feifei entered the room, Xue Feifei lowered her voice and asked, “Tell me honestly, did you and Qin Zhiyou have a falling out?”

Lu Weixi didn’t answer; she just suddenly felt nauseous, a wave of dizziness washing over her.
