My Hubby Can t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 799: Chapter 801: Catching X (5)

Qin Zhiyou was scared out of his wits, seeing Lu Weixi already standing beside him. She didn’t say anything, perhaps she was listening to his call.

He didn’t speak up either, but Fang Rushuang on the other side of the call continued to share her fresh gossip: “From what I’ve gathered, they’ve been together for a long time, but they didn’t tell Wei Hui for fear of hurting her. I never expected Zhisu and Wei Hui to be so close, yet after several years together, they suddenly broke up like this…”

Qin Zhiyou was distracted by Lu Weixi at his side, realizing that she didn’t immediately react or do anything, he gradually calmed down. Somewhat strangely, he started to look forward to what would happen next. He lazily replied, “What’s so special about that, the Bai Family’s parents were married for decades and yet they divorced just like that. Weren’t your parents also busy with their own divorce proceedings?”

Indeed, as soon as the topic of their parents’ divorce and the partiality of her father in their case was brought up, Lu Weixi’s eyes turned red instantly.

Just a few days ago, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Although she loathed Bai Changyou, treating cancer required a huge amount of money. In their divorce, her mother didn’t receive much in the way of assets. If they wanted to seek treatment abroad, money would be of utmost necessity. For one, a previous talk show host who treated his cancer abroad spent more than 1.7 million in medical fees alone within a mere year and a half. This did not even include living expenses and the cost of caregiving among others.

She was still in college, and her mother had been a full-time housewife for years. The little over a million that they received wouldn’t last more than a year or two if they spent it all on the treatment. Lu Weixi, desperate, had no choice but to approach Bai Changyou.

The house had already been mortgaged off and was supposed to be sold, but no one had taken the offer yet. Swallowing her pride and dignity, she went to Bai Changyou hoping to get some money for the crisis at hand. However, all she found when she went there was Bai Changyou with pregnant Mrs. Cai and Cai Yiren, looking like a happy family of three leaving for a day out.

Lu Weixi was struggling for quite a while, and if not for the money, she might have impulsively rushed at them and pushed the pregnant woman hard enough to induce a miscarriage.

With the Bai Family closed to her, her only option was to go to the company.

On a working day, she went straight to Bai Corporation. The corporation was currently undergoing liquidation, with only a few employees remaining. However, when their lady boss arrived, the remaining employees did not dare to neglect her and took her to the lounge.

Lu Weixi waited for a while, but instead of Bai Changyou, Fang Zheng, the father of Fang Rushuang, met her.

Lu Weixi had a lot of grievances and anger that she intended to vent on Bai Changyou, but was left dispirited on the sight of Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng was evidently sent by Bai Changyou as a shield. During her mother’s nasty divorce, not only did her mother create a mess in the company, but she also reported the corporation’s years of illicit deeds. It could be said that Bai Corporation’s ongoing bankruptcy and liquidation were not only due to assets being transferred away, but also due to being scrutinized by higher-ups, which is one of the prominent reasons.

Fang Zheng sided with Bai Changyou, and Lu Weixi and her mother were infuriated. Though at that time they didn’t think much about it, looking back at it, they could understand the dim reality. Seeing him approach her to inquire the reason for her visit, Lu Weixi emotionlessly explained her mother’s illnesses to Fang Zheng and added, “I need money.”
