Chapter 67: 067. There Really Is No Possibility Anymore
Shen Zehuan chuckled lightly. Perhaps Xuxu herself hadn’t noticed how intense the sadness in her eyes was when she spoke the words, “We had never begun in the first place.”
Qiao Xu pushed open the door of the café and imdiately saw Grandma Lu sitting in a corner, waving to her from an inconspicuous spot.
“Grandma,”
Qiao Xu approached and softly called to her, sitting in the chair opposite Grandma Lu.
Grandma Lu was almost eighty years old, with graying hair and a pair of black-rimd reading glasses. She dressed in a white casual won’s suit and looked vigorous and filled with intellectual charm.
It had been more than four years since they last t, but the closeness Qiao Xu felt toward her hadn’t faded due to their ti apart. The sa was true for Grandma Lu.
With a big smile, Grandma Lu looked at Qiao Xu, seemingly very happy.
“When you left four years ago, I was so worried that my hair turned white. That old man of yours wouldn’t tell where you went, making so anxious that I really wanted to break his legs with my cane.”
Having been close friends with Old Master Qiao since they were young, Qiao Xu wasn’t surprised by Grandma Lu’s words and laughed along.
“It was I who asked Grandpa not to tell anyone.”
At that ti, she had suddenly beco pregnant and feared that Lu Moqing would force her to abort the child if he found out. She knew he wouldn’t allow her to give birth to his baby, so she fled desperately.
Thinking of Xiao Qiao Yi, she felt relieved that she had fled back then, or else…
Unwilling to think further, Qiao Xu lowered her brows and remained silent.
At that mont, the coffee was served. She stirred it with the spoon, pretending to be absorbed in it to hide her thoughts.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Lu sighed, “Xuxu, is there really no possibility between you and Moqing?”
Pausing her stirring for a mont, Qiao Xu looked at Grandma Lu and then nodded without hesitation, “Yes.”
She looked at Grandma Lu’s slightly furrowed brow and smiled, grabbing her hand. “Grandma, you and I both know that if it wasn’t for you helping all the ti, our marriage wouldn’t have lasted those three years.”
Grandma Lu hurriedly tried to refute, “No, Xuxu, listen to . If Moqing didn’t have feelings for you, do you really think I could have pressured him? Why would he have been searching for you throughout the world like a madman during these four years since you left?”
The hand holding the spoon clenched tightly. Grandma Lu had often used these words to console her during their three years of marriage.
She had once naively thought that maybe Lu Moqing did have feelings for her, so she had tried harder and harder in their precarious marriage until…
…until Lu Moqing demanded she leave the Lu family and make way for Su Rou. That was when she realized that her perseverance for three years had just been self-deception.
As for Grandma Lu saying that he searched like a madman for her over the four years of their separation…
Qiao Xu scoffed, “Perhaps, it’s just because my petition for a divorce hurt his pride.”
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he sign the papers when their relationship had reached this point?
If she were still naive enough to think Lu Moqing had feelings for her, she would truly be deaning herself now.
