Chapter 173 - 174: Great Ups and Downs (2)
Since Hanhai Group was his, a little boat ticket was nothing in comparison. Lu Weixi took a long breath, knowing that in the end, she had no choice but to ask Qin Zhiyou for help.
It didn’t help that she had initially refused him in the mansion. But now she had to ask, and Qin Zhiyou was undoubtedly going to make this difficult for her. He would surely demand some sort of “payment”. She had intentionally avoided Qin Zhiyou’s assistance because she didn’t want him to “charge” a fee.
But now, every other possible path was blocked. Apart from Qin Zhiyou, she couldn’t even think of another way to board that ship.
“Fine.” She nodded. Now that this was settled, she didn’t want to worry about it anymore. Asking Qin Zhiyou wasn’t a bad thing – not only would she save the money, but he might actually give her some.
After the massage, she felt entirely relaxed yet even more exhausted. She stood up: “I need to go to the restroom.”
Xue Feifei nodded: “I’ll come with you.”
The spa center was filled with the aroma of sandalwood and the soft melodies of Thai folk songs under dim lighting. As the two of them walked along the corridor, Lu Weixi pricked up her ears when she heard a few words outside a partially opened door.
“Yiyi, did you really get a ticket from Qin to be by his side on the inaugural voyage of Hanhai Group?”
“Hmm.” Liu Yiyi’s gentle voice came from inside, “He did mention it to me and even prepared my clothes and ticket.”
“Wow, I am so envious of you. This inaugural voyage is said to host many social celebrities. And it’s also the 50th anniversary of Hanhai Group and it’s a grand event. It seems that Qin really likes you, even giving you this opportunity. He wouldn’t be thinking of marrying you, would he…”
Laughter echoed from the room. Xue Feifei was incensed and rolled up her sleeves to burst in when Lu Weixi grabbed hold of her arm. Xue Feifei was furious and looked at Lu Weixi’s sharp gaze, suppressing her anger: “Let me go in.”
But Lu Weixi held on tightly and even increased the grip.
They stood there, frozen in the doorway. Down the hallway, a masseuse noticed them and greeted: “Good evening.”
Lu Weixi tugged Feifei away with force. They didn’t go to the restroom, and instead went straight back to the room to change and leave.
Just outside the spa, Xue Feifei was still fuming: “Why didn’t you let me go in? I’m so angry! What ghost is Liu Yiyi, and how can she be so shameless!”
Lu Weixi said nothing and waited for her to vent out, then handed Xue Feifei a bottle of water: “Want some?”
“No!” Xue Feifei’s anger switched to Lu Weixi: “And you, why are you so cowardly? You don’t dare to yell at Qin Zhiyou, but you can at least yell at Liu Yiyi, right? It’s like the saying ‘sad for its misfortunate but angry for its inability to fight back.’ You are exactly that. If you don’t want a divorce, then at least clean out these mistresses one by one and show them that you, Mrs. Qin, are not a pushover!”
Lu Weixi said lightly: “So, this is why I don’t want to find Qin Zhiyou.”
She didn’t want to divorce. She had also considered it. But on one hand, she was in dire need of money, she wouldn’t be able to afford her mother’s medical expenses. On the other hand, how could she face Bai Changyou, Qin Zhigu’s betrayal and Cai Yiren after divorcing?
Unless on her own she could climb to the top of the designer’s world, laugh proudly without relying on Qin Zhiyou, only then would she confidently put forward a divorce..
