Chapter 1267: Chapter 1260: Surgery (6) Chapter 1267: Chapter 1260: Surgery (6) Lu Weixi didn’t hesitate for long this time, nodding her agreement. When Qin Zhiyou told her he would come to the Lu Family to pick her up, she raised no objections.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Weixi thought it over and also mentioned to her mother that she would be visiting the Qin Family the next day, reiterating, “Grandfather has always been very kind to me, and his health isn’t good; I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand it. Moreover, as a way of repayment, Qin Zhiyou has also agreed to find better medicine for you, so I want to give it a try.”

Upon hearing about Grandfather Qin, Lu’s mother fell silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Since it’s for Grandfather Qin, then you should go.”

Lu’s mother wasn’t an unreasonable person. Initially, she had done everything in her power to oppose Lu Weixi’s marriage to Qin Zhiyou because Qin Zhiyou was indeed too “notorious”. Any responsible parent wouldn’t want their daughter to be mistreated by her partner’s family.

But Grandfather Qin, from the time Lu Weixi started seeing Qin Zhigu, had always been kind to her as a daughter-in-law, and being an elder and of advanced age, she naturally wouldn’t oppose him.

Lu Weixi knew her mother’s feelings; holding her mother’s hand, she said, “Don’t worry; it seems this time Qin Zhiyou might end up with Fang Rushuang, which is why he’s gradually releasing information about our divorce. Once he makes up his mind, he doesn’t look back, so you don’t have to worry about him coming back for me.”

“I’m not worried about him; I’m worried about you,” Lu’s mother said. Although she didn’t know that her daughter had a child, she knew that her daughter hadn’t completely let go of Qin Zhiyou and feared that she might be swayed by him to make a foolish decision.

“I won’t,” Lu Weixi asserted. When they were married, she couldn’t accept his philandering. After their divorce, jumping back into the fire was even more out of the question.

Lu’s mother didn’t say much else, just gently patted the back of her hand and sighed.

The next morning, Qin Zhiyou arrived on time to pick her up.

It was still the same familiar black sedan, still the same familiar black suit, and when Lu Weixi opened the car door to get in, Secretary Wang was also there, immediately greeting her, “Good morning, Young Madam.”

Lu Weixi nodded in return and then turned to look at Qin Zhiyou. She thought that Qin Zhiyou, at least, would have discussed their separation with Secretary Wang, but it appeared everything was still as usual.

Compared to yesterday at the hospital, Qin Zhiyou seemed a bit tidier, having shaved his beard and combed his hair. Seeing her, he faintly glanced her up and down, “You seem to have lost a little weight.”

His voice was slightly low, and Lu Weixi murmured a response, “I’ve been a bit busy with work recently.”

Qin Zhiyou also murmured, and after a long pause added, “How is your mother’s health?”

“Very stable, thank you.”

Their tone was formal yet steady, with no arguments or upheavals, the only noticeable thing being a polite detachment.

After this, silence fell over the car once more. The drive was smooth, and Lu Weixi, sitting in the back, didn’t have the habit of wearing a seatbelt. They were going from the old Lu house to the grand Qin mansion, taking a ring road after leaving the city. It was raining today, and with low temperatures, the ground was somewhat slick. The car moved along smoothly without any conversation or noise–only the sound of horns from other vehicles outside.

But as they crossed an intersection, a car, changing from a yellow light to red in an attempt to beat the light, skidded and suddenly crashed into them.
