Chapter 1293: Chapter 1286: Miscarriage (16) Chapter 1293: Chapter 1286: Miscarriage (16) After all, they had a child now; divorce was a decision they could make, but what about the child?

From a mother’s perspective, of course, she hoped her daughter would leave the scumbag as soon as possible and start a new life. Her daughter was still young; even if she got divorced, it wouldn’t hinder her future marriage to another man. But having a child changed things.

There weren’t many men willing to raise another man’s child, no matter how much he loved the woman. It wasn’t impossible to find such a man, but the odds were slim–why lessen the chances? Of course, her priority was her daughter’s happiness. The best approach was to divorce as soon as possible to cut the losses, and then abort the child. But she couldn’t say that.

However, Lu Weixi seemed to understand her mother’s thoughts. With a light smile, she said, “I’ll handle it. I won’t have any contact with him anymore, neither in marriage nor regarding the child.”

The phone call ended there, but Qin Zhiyou sensed something different in her words.

Did Lu Weixi mean not only to divorce… but also to abort the child? Right, she was capable of such actions. The day she broke up with Qin Zhigu, she was with him, not leaving any room for herself.

The problem was, he wanted to grasp at the marriage, but how? She had a hundred ways to uncover the truth; just asking around among their peers would suffice–he could never have any contact with that kind of woman.

Or maybe she just didn’t care, lacking emotional attachment, and faced with issues, she’d give him a reason for betrayal, outright proposing divorce and not wanting the child.

He took a deep breath, then bowed his head, flipping through documents, and said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry about trending on the internet, let it stay. After the last trending event, didn’t the company’s stock go up instead of down? It seems this is a good avenue.”

As long as the company’s operations were solid, a bit of tabloid news not only wouldn’t harm Hanhai but might actually boost its prominence. The public might boycott celebrities, but as long as the company capitalizes on this, it could turn into excellent PR.

As for the shareholders and the company’s opposing views, he had compelling data to refute their doubts. With good management, no opposition could gain ground, and shareholders would have no grounds for complaint.

As for the divorce…
Qin Zhiyou stared at the wedding ring on his finger, lost in thought.

It was a busy day; although Qin Zhiyou’s name was trending, he still attended an important meeting in the afternoon and went to a dinner in the evening. They were all smiles, pushing glasses to one another, thoroughly enjoying their gathering. He had prior contacts with this partner who now readily collaborated with him as the helmsman of Hanhai. No one criticized his extramarital affair; instead, the partner chuckled while toasting, “President Qin is indeed dashing and youthful. Next time, could you bring the little sister-in-law too? My brother is looking to invest in film production.”

With his hand resting on the back of the chair, legs crossed, Qin Zhiyou just smiled without responding.

By the time he returned, it was late night, and rain was falling outside. The wintry rain made it even more dreary than usual. He intentionally had the driver take several detours around the city before arriving home past midnight.

Upon entering the bedroom, Lu Weixi was there.

He was surprisingly calm, straightening his clothes first. “Say it, you want a divorce, right? Are we going directly to the civil affairs office, or through the court?”
