Chapter 1264: Chapter 1257: Surgery (3) Chapter 1264: Chapter 1257: Surgery (3) Lu Weixi “hmm”ed, her expression serene, without any reaction. Mother Lu was getting a bit anxious, “What do you mean by ‘hmm’? What I’m saying is, since you’re divorced, you should let go of what needs to be let go. He’s already found someone with the surname Fang, and you need to get your own affairs in order.”

Although Mother Lu looked disappointed, she still picked up a piece of braised pig’s trotter with her chopsticks and handed it to her.

Lu Weixi “hmm”ed again, wanting to reply, but perhaps the greasy smell of the pig’s trotter made her feel nauseous, she put down her chopsticks immediately, rushed to the bathroom, and vomited intensely. After she cleaned up and wiped her mouth, she came out to find Mother Lu suddenly standing in the living room, looking at her with a face full of surprise and suspicion.

Lu Weixi asked, “Mom, what’s the matter?”

“Could it be… that you’re pregnant?”

Lu Weixi paused for a moment then replied nonchalantly, “Mom, what are you thinking? My period has been a bit irregular these last few months because I’ve been under a lot of stress. I had my period on time last month. I swear, I haven’t seen or spoken to Qin Zhiyou in the past few months since I picked you up from the hospital, let alone had any physical contact. Flu is rampant this season, and many of my colleagues, especially Xiaochen, keep coughing and sneezing. I was thinking of wearing a mask to work next week and was going to buy one from the pharmacy tomorrow.”

Although Mother Lu still had her doubts, Lu Weixi looked so sincere that her mother didn’t pry further, only saying, “You must take good care of yourself.”

“Mom, don’t worry, I won’t let myself collapse. Qin Zhiyou and I are over, and I won’t dwell on the past. Though I might have developed some feelings for him at the end, my feelings for him were clearly not as deep as they were for Qin Zhigu at the beginning. I broke up with him and moved on to a new boyfriend easily enough. I am not someone who drags things out.”

Mentioning Qin Zhigu convinced Mother Lu.

“Mom’s point is simple. Don’t let Qin Zhiyou stop you from finding someone. You should have your own family in the future.”

Lu Weixi nodded, “Mom, don’t worry.”

However, the issue with Qin Zhiyou still caused quite a stir. Even though the next day was Saturday and she didn’t have to work, Lu Weixi felt throughout the evening project discussion–which was a voice conference–that everyone in the project team seemed unable to suppress their restless hearts.

She knew what they wanted to ask, which was, essentially, that she couldn’t control her husband again. They didn’t know about her divorce from Qin Zhiyou, but they did know about Qin Zhiyou and Fang Rushuang visiting the gynecologist, which meant she, the official wife, had lost to an outsider, and that shortly after reconciling, Qin Zhiyou forgot her pain and quickly kicked her to the curb.

Furthermore, unlike previously, Qin Zhiyou didn’t outright deny it this time. It was a hot search for a few hours before being taken down, but Qin Zhiyou’s side didn’t comment at all.

Clearly, he was tacitly acknowledging this incident.

Everyone guessed that she, Mrs. Qin, might be stepping down to make room for someone else but was struggling to voice it due to concerns about face-saving. They all hemmed and hawed. Lu Weixi also played dumb, and after the work discussion ended, she simply said, “See you on Monday then. Oh, and I need to take a day off on Tuesday, call me if anything comes up.”

Then she promptly hung up the phone.
