BXBX NOVEL Chapter 428: 429: Divorce (4)
Holding her phone, Lu Weixi’s hands were shaking. She could almost imagine how furious her mother would be upon seeing these messages, and how worried she would be for her!
Qin Zhiyou was right beside Lu Weixi and he also saw the browsing and video playback history on her mother’s phone. A few big words appeared in his head:
I am screwed!
He wanted to explain, but found there was no way to do so. No matter how he promised that there wouldn’t be another woman in his life, that he would completely ruin Liu Yiyi, he didn’t realize that in killing the rat, he had also broken the jade pot.
After all, Liu Yiyi was the one he pampered, and he was the one who sought to destroy her. If things hadn’t become such a big deal, how would her mother have found out and then fallen ill because of it!
“Qin, Zhi, You!”
Lu Weixi gnashed her teeth, enunciating each word as if she wished she could kill him.
Each time she said a word, Qin Zhiyou seemed to shrink a bit. By the time she finished saying his name, Qin Zhiyou was ready to collapse.
He was quick to react and immediately grasped the crucial point.
He suddenly turned to the nurse and asked her, “You said that mom met a friend while walking at 8 p.m., right?”
The nurse nodded.
The nurse had mentioned earlier that Lu’s mom had met a few acquaintances while going for her evening walk, and she seemed troubled at the time.
Though Lu’s mom’s illness was inevitable, Qin Zhiyou felt that those acquaintances could be the key.
He immediately asked, “Were they doctors or nurses?”
At this time of night in a hospital, they would either be doctors, nurses, patients, or family members of patients.
The nurse shook her head.
“Were they relatives?” Her mother was an only child, lost contact with the Bai Family after the divorce. Although she had cousins, they all lived out of town. Hearing about her mother’s misfortune and severe illness, and fearing Lu Weixi would ask them for money, they had all cut off contact.
But just because contact had been severed didn’t mean you wouldn’t run into each other.
The nurse shook her head again, “It didn’t seem like it. They weren’t using familial terms.”
“Were they previous patients?”
The nurse pondered, and then shook her head again: “I didn’t hear them talking about diseases or anything. As soon as madam saw them, her expression turned bad. She left after exchanging only a few words.”
Qin Zhiyou probed further, “Did you hear what they were talking about?”
The nurse recalled, “At first they politely exchanged some greetings, and then madam asked me to go and buy some milk for her because she has been having trouble sleeping. When I came back, those people had already left. Madam returned to her ward and stared at her phone until she went to sleep, who would have known…”
Qin Zhiyou furrowed his brows in thought. Madam Lu had been a housewife five years ago, occasionally accompanying Bai Changyou to banquets, but mostly keeping to herself. After falling ill, these past five years her world was comprised of doctors, nurses, caregivers, and other patients. Due to the changes in her family, she rarely spoke. Those who knew that Qin Zhiyou was her son-in-law were even fewer.
So, these acquaintances must have known her mother from five years ago and were aware of their marriage.
Their appearances immediately spoiled her mood…
All of a sudden, a thought flashed through Qin Zhiyou’s mind, and he had an idea.. But his voice became more urgent, “What kind of friends are they? Describe them in detail for me!”
