Chapter 1263: Chapter 1256: Surgery (2) Chapter 1263: Chapter 1256: Surgery (2) The doctor was very composed, having learned that she was almost three months pregnant and couldn’t have a medication-induced abortion. If they waited any longer, it might not even be possible to perform the surgical abortion, leaving dilation and curettage as the only option.

Although it was a minimally invasive surgery, a series of tests were required before the surgery, and a certain period of recuperation was necessary after. Since today was already Friday, Lu Weixi’s surgery was scheduled for next Tuesday, and she had no objections.

The doctor first inquired about her medical history. Lu Weixi had no underlying health conditions, only an abortion five years ago. That abortion had caused significant harm, and although the doctor hadn’t given her a prognosis of complete infertility like Cai Yiren, she wasn’t far from it. She had spent a long time recuperating over the past five years, and it was no longer a significant impediment.

After signing the consent form, the doctor advised her of some precautions. Despite the surgery being minimally invasive and taking less than an hour, with no need to stay bedridden afterward–just a few hours of rest before discharge–the fact remained that even a minor procedure was still a procedure, especially an abortion. She would need to recuperate at home for about half a month, akin to postpartum confinement. This was even more crucial given her previous abortion.

Lu Weixi agreed to everything. Once her appointment was confirmed, she left the hospital.

When she got home, to her surprise, the paparazzi had outpaced her. The encounter she had just hours ago at the hospital with Qin Zhiyou and Fang Rushuang was already posted online, quickly trending on social media.

Qin Zhiyou had always been watched closely, especially since his fallout with the third branch of the family, with both true and false rumors circulating. Qin Zhiyou’s scandalous affairs had always been popular gossip topics. This time, the evidence was substantial, as they had been seen together at the obstetrics and gynecology department.

But what was infuriating was that the news of Qin Zhiyou’s divorce from her remained secret. No outsider knew, not even the Qin family. Zhao Zihao could only guess that Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou were living separately and perhaps their relationship was strained, but he wasn’t certain they had actually signed divorce papers.

Having seen her daughter trend on social media previously, Lu’s mother had fashionably installed the app and often read the news when at home. Now, she stumbled upon a piece about Qin Zhiyou.

To the public, it might just seem like another romantic conquest for Qin Zhiyou, but to those in the know, it was clear that the so-called mistress was Fang Rushuang, Qin Zhiyou’s ex-fiancee, his official former fiancee.

During dinner, Lu’s mother brought up Qin Zhiyou’s incident at the dinner table. “Qin Zhiyou and Fang Rushuang appear to be back together. They were spotted today at the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. There could be many reasons to go there; maybe Fang Rushuang is pregnant or perhaps she needed to address some gynecological issue. Regardless, the two of them seem quite close.”

Lu’s mother watched her daughter as she spoke, now knowing that Lu Weixi still hadn’t let go of Qin Zhiyou, which is why she had been politely refusing blind dates. But Qin Zhiyou was different; he had long moved on, while her foolish daughter was still waiting, and over there, they might even be expecting a child soon.
