Chapter 1266: Chapter 1259: Surgery (5) Chapter 1266: Chapter 1259: Surgery (5) Fortunately, fortunately, she had seen him with Fang Rushuang at the hospital today, and later it went directly to the news. Now, hearing Qin Zhiyou’s voice again, she was as calm as the surface of still water.

“Is there something?”

There was a brief silence on the other end before Qin Zhiyou hesitantly added, “Do you have time tomorrow?”

Lu Weixi pondered but didn’t immediately respond; Qin Zhiyou added, “When we divorced, we agreed that if you wanted a private separation, you could cooperate with me.”

Having listened this far, Lu Weixi roughly guessed his intentions. She frowned and said, “Speak directly.”

Perhaps it was because they were divorced or because she knew about him and Fang Rushuang, eliminating that unrealistic hope in her heart. She was especially calm now, even the way she spoke was different.

Qin Zhiyou softened his tone slightly and tried a different approach, “It’s Grandfather, he wants to see you.”

Oh, so it has reached Grandfather Qin. That’s right, she remembered that Qin Zhiyou had previously promised Grandfather Qin that if he cheated again, he would never inherit the Qin Family’s wealth again. He really was wronged this time, but what did that have to do with her?

Did he mean that if he didn’t go public, she would still need to pretend to be Mrs. Qin until he marries Fang Rushuang?

Lu Weixi held her phone silently for a few seconds before speaking again, “Qin Zhiyou, Grandfather will find out sooner or later. So will the family. I only agreed to cooperate with you in not going public, not to keep acting with you.”

So that’s a no?

Qin Zhiyou also paused for a few seconds with his phone before he heard Lu Weixi say from the other end, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

“No, what I mean is, by coming over tomorrow, I want us to tell Grandfather and the family that we are in discussions about divorce,” Qin Zhiyou slowly explained. “What I mean is, I don’t really want the family, especially Grandfather, to know that we have already signed the divorce papers, giving them, particularly Grandfather, some time to accept this gradually. I know this puts you in a difficult position, but please consider that Grandfather, at his age, is not in good health and can’t withstand the shock. I am asking you to do me this favor. Of course, I won’t let your effort go unrewarded. I’ve heard that there is a very effective targeted drug for liver cancer in America, still under review by the national drug administration, so it hasn’t been introduced here yet. If you need it, I can help you get it.”

Qin Zhiyou was really quite skillful at pinpointing her vulnerabilities. If he had offered money, Lu Weixi would have scoffed. If he had suggested introducing her to projects, Lu Weixi would have been thoroughly disinterested. But her mother’s illness, even though she was currently using targeted medicine, could become ineffective at any time. If there was another way, even a one percent chance, she would agree to try it.

And then there was Grandfather Qin, truly the kindest elder in the Qin Family toward her. She really couldn’t bear to upset Grandfather Qin.

She was silent for a while, so long that just as Qin Zhiyou was about to ask her something, Lu Weixi abruptly said, “Are you asking me to bring up the topic of our amicable divorce tomorrow in front of Grandfather? What’s the reason?”

Qin Zhiyou replied, “There’s no need to hide this from him. Just tell him straight what you told me before. The only thing is, don’t tell him directly that we’re already divorced, just say that we are indeed discussing separation.”
