Chapter 441: Chapter 442: Outbreak (1)

Qin Zhiyou hadn’t expected him to directly poke at his sore spot. Yes, even though there was a possibility that Lu’s mom was hurt by the Bai Family, the direct reason was him.

His scandal had caused Lu’s mother to worry about her daughter’s marriage. He was undoubtedly involved!

Lu Weixi, in Qin Zhiyou’s arms, also stiffened a little.

Qin Zhiyou was clearly aware of this situation too. Since Lu’s mom fell ill, all he could do was to actively seek a solution and face it bravely.

He nodded: “Indeed I did wrong to Wei Hui, but I will change! I had sworn in front of my grandfather that she will be the only one for me in the future. I can realize my mistake and rectify it, can you? Mom lived with you for over twenty years, bore children for you, even if you didn’t save her earlier, that was forgivable. But now, you’re twisting the knife in her heart, are you still a human?!”

His words were powerful and resonated deeply in everyone’s hearts. Bai Changyou wanted to retort, but he couldn’t find words to refute him!

Here, Cai Yiren also stepped in to support: “Let’s not mention the other things, but can one slap repay ‘twenty years of nurturing love that I owe you’? You can disregard others, but you can’t disrespect your biological father!”

“Shut up!” The one who spoke out this time turned out to be Qin Zhigu.

Everyone turned around and saw Qin Zhigu hastily rushing over.

Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou hadn’t returned home for two nights. They didn’t come back, and they also didn’t go to work.

At first, he didn’t know what had happened. When he went to the company and heard that Lu Weixi had taken leave, he felt a bit strange. Knowing that Lu Weixi was someone who wouldn’t take leave even if Liu Yiyi showed up at their doorstep, what could be more pressing than that?

Last night, Qin Zhiyou suddenly declared that he would cut off all ties with the Bai Family, but by then it was already dawn, and Qin Zhigu had long gone to sleep. When Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia received the news, they were too busy discussing with their subordinates how to maximize their benefits, and they did not tell him.

When he got up for breakfast in the morning, Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi were still not present. At this point, Cai Yiren called and immediately asked if Lu Weixi was at home.

That was not an issue, he quickly replied that she wasn’t.

Then, Cai Yiren asked again, “What about Qin Zhiyou?”

Qin Zhigu shook his head: “He’s not here either. They left in the early hours of yesterday morning and haven’t returned yet.”

Upon hearing this, Cai Yiren suddenly murmured, “Could it be because of that…” and then hung up the phone.

With a puzzled look on his face, Qin Zhigu wondered ‘because of what?’ He didn’t know what had happened and although he wanted to message Lu Weixi, he felt it was not appropriate and decided against it.

But later on, when he went to the company, he was worried. Using the excuse of checking the design drawings, he went to Lu Weixi’s office but found she wasn’t there.

Then, a young woman looked over: “Mr. Qin.”

He recognized this woman, it was Lu Weixi’s assistant Xiaochen. Qin Zhigu felt a bit awkward and coughed lightly: “Where’s Lu? I need to check the design drawings.”

Xiaochen replied: “Lu took the day off as well. She has taken three days off actually.”

Why three days? Because in two more days, it would be the weekend, which means she would essentially be resting for five days. Qin Zhigu found it strange. Although Lu Weixi wasn’t exactly a workaholic, she was not far from it. She was fine just a few days ago, why did she take leave? What would be more important to her than the company?

Then he suddenly thought of something: “Is it because of her mother?”
