With a hint of surprise, she looked at the computer screen. The news segment had just come to an end, but the sentence that stood out read, “This is reporter Liu Yiyi, reporting from XX City.”
Of course, she knew who Liu Yiyi was. She was the one who swindled a large penalty fee from their company because she broke her contract.
Wherever gossip existed, Xiaochen was present. She tidied up Lu Weixi and explained to her, “I heard that Liu Yiyi offended someone and was suppressed for a while. But her backer is Hanhai’s president, and sure enough, things have been going smoothly for her lately. She’s still hosting that previous show and has started a few new ones as well. I also heard that a popular internet entertainment show invited her. Her luck is really something.”
Lu Weixi was just standing there, waiting for Xiaochen to finish cleaning up and hand her the summaries. After a quick glance at them, she nodded in approval. But honestly, she was not really paying attention.
She had a multitude of thoughts in her mind, be it about Qin Zhiyou, Bai Changyou, or Liu Yiyi.
Speaking of which, she had been married to Qin Zhiyou for five years and had followed the love lives of his various girlfriends. Even if she didn’t, the two gossip queens Xiaochen and Xiaoqian would fill her in on the slightest ripple in the entertainment circle. Just like how Xiaochen just now knew all about Liu Yiyi’s ups and downs, the shows she was on, and the endorsements she had grabbed.
Although this was a pretty grand event, and not just Qin Zhisu but Bai Changyou was attending too, she doubted that Qin Zhiyou would do anything with Liu Yiyi. However, if he really had a soft spot for a woman, he would arrange a lot for her. That’s how it was for Liu Yiyi now, and that had been the case with – well, with Fang Rushuang in the past.
As for herself, she only enjoyed this treatment from Qin Zhiyou on a couple of occasions: once a long time ago when they just got married, and recently. Furthermore, helping her was merely to deal with Qin Zhisu and to shut up his objections. Without Qin Zhisu, she even wondered if Qin Zhiyou would hand her the drafts or help her mother change rooms in the hospital.
Her mother had been ill for five years, and she had never seen him quite this solicitous. So why was he suddenly thinking of providing a different room and caregiver? As for Qin Zhisu, Qin Zhiyou claimed to “trust” her. Of course, he did. He didn’t care whether or not she liked Qin Zhisu, as long as she didn’t cheat on him.
After thinking all these thoughts, Lu Weixi’s mood did not pick up when her workday ended – it worsened.
Especially during dinner time, even Xiaochen knew that Liu Yiyi was going to that event, there was no way Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha didn’t know. After dinner, their taunts became even more biting. Qin Zhimei said, “I really thought that big brother’s gesture of taking sister-in-law along with him on the last trip had settled the matter. But this event is such a grand affair in the architectural world. Even a host like Liu Yiyi could go, but not the sister-in-law. Tsk, tsk, this really is…”
Lu Weixi sat at a distance, silently sipping her tea. She didn’t want to argue, nor could she. She kept her head down, as if keeping herself detached from everything, until Qin Zhizha maliciously asked, “I really don’t understand…big brother and sister-in-law have been married for five years now, why is there no child? If you’re talking about career, I haven’t seen sister-in-law achieve much. As for our kind of family, we don’t need sister-in-law to raise kids.”
Qin Zhimei nudged her brother and added, “Isn’t it all because of five years ago…”
