Chapter 971: Chapter 973: A Glimr of Hope (1) Chapter 971: Chapter 973: A Glimr of Hope (1) Lu Weixi was taken aback and also sensed Qin Zhiyou’s suddenly cold deanor.
She thought that since Qin Zhiyou didn’t ntion this matter after coming back from the study yesterday, it ant he didn’t care and had no desire for it. Now, it seed that he actually had a hint of hesitation in his heart.
But, having children was her bottom line, sothing she could not compromise on.
Lu Weixi paused briefly, then followed him.
Once downstairs, in the living room, Bai Weiyi had already changed into new clothes and was still being held in Cai’s mother’s arms, cooed and coddled affectionately. Lu Weixi couldn’t be bothered to intervene, looking over her luggage, noticing Qin Zhiyou wasn’t around, nor did it seem like he was outside starting the car.
A servant approached, and just as Lu Weixi was about to ask where Qin Zhiyou had gone, she saw him coming out of Grandpa’s room. He didn’t look particularly emotional but took the luggage from her hands with an expression that slightly more aloof, “Grandpa agreed.”
“Grandpa agreed to what?” As soon as the word “Grandpa” was ntioned, the most shocked were definitely Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhii. They even thought Qin Zhiyou had gone up to discuss things with his wife and now had actually gone to grandpa’s to complain, unbelievable!
It was Yang Mogui with the sharp eyes who noticed his luggage, and imdiately asked, “Where are you off to?”
Qin Zhiyou’s face was calm, “Wei Hui and I are quite busy with work lately, traveling back and forth to the old house is too inconvenient, so we’re going back to stay for a while.”
That one sentence sowhat stunned everyone in the family, especially Cai Yiren.
She and Cai’s mother exchanged glances, silently acknowledging each other’s thoughts.
Yesterday, she discovered she was carrying a daughter, sothing even Bai Changyou didn’t know. Today, Bai Changyou cheerfully brought the whole family over, besides discussing business, he naturally had the intention of continuing the marriage talks. It had always been said that the child in Cai Yiren’s belly was a boy. He wasn’t Cai Yiren’s father and didn’t care whether she had a boy or a girl, but if it was a boy, it would be advantageous for their cooperation, and understandably he was pleased.
But just one et-up stirred up so much trouble, and now they were simply not going to stay any longer.
They had indeed considered, testing the acceptance of Qin Zhizha and Qin Weijia towards the baby, and if they did not accept it being a girl, they would have to find a way to make her disappear.
How to disappear in a plausible way and maximize benefits was, of course, to pin it on Lu Weixi. Since they all lived together, how could opportunities be lacking? And if it were Lu Weixi who “got rid of” her child, Qin Weijia and Qin Zhizha wouldn’t bla her, only becoming more united against outsiders.
If Lu Weixi just left like that, it would greatly reduce the chances for her to take action in the future. According to the current situation, the Bai Family’s cooperation with the third branch would not stop, and the engagent banquet had been arranged—it’s unlikely the wedding would be canceled. But she and her child in her belly were unlikely to be valued by Qin Weijia and Qin Zhizha. Bai Changyou wouldn’t care about her well-being either. What would she and her mother do in the future?
They had to keep Lu Weixi from leaving!
Cai Yiren watched them nearing the door, growing anxious, “What, just splashed my brother, and now you’re just going to leave like that?”
Qin Zhiyou couldn’t be bothered with her, carrying the luggage and heading out, with Lu Weixi following.
Cai Yiren added another line, “Or is it because you’re afraid to continue living here under pressure, after all, you’ve been married for so many years and don’t have children.”
And indeed, that one remark did actually cause Qin Zhiyou’s steps to falter.
