NOVPUBChapter 840: Chapter 842: Parting Ways (12)
Lu’s mother looked at her daughter, Lu Weixi. Although Weixi acted domineering and spoiled on the outside, her heart wasn’t actually that strong. After all, she was just a 22-year-oldllege student. Qin Zhigu was her first love, and they had been together for over three years. Their temperaments werempatible, and it was rare to find auple so well-matched in aspirations and backgrounds. Moreover, their relationship hadn’toled from passionate love into something more platonic. Yet, this had happened.
She didn’t know much, only bits and pieces she’d heard from Xue Feifei. It seemed that Qin Zhigu had cheated on her with Cai Yiren. She also understood her daughter’s heartbreak. Being cheated on was one thing, but the fact that the other woman was Cai Yiren made it a double blow. It was as if the pain they had suffered during last year’s family crisis was replaying on her daughter, howuld she possibly bentent or accept this!
It was precisely because she knew this that she, as a mother,uld neither advise nor eurage anything.
Some hurts and wounds needed to be healed by standing up on one’s own. She now had cancer and hadn’t obtained any property. What would her daughter do, all alone in the world after her death?
The Lu family didn’t have close relatives, and the divorce had estranged them from the relatives of the Bai family. She had always been a housewife without many friends. For her daughter, breaking up with Qin Zhigu was bad enough, but the worst part was that he had ended up with Cai Yiren. If Yiren truly rose in status, it would be all harm and no good for her daughter. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
She knew her daughter’s personality was proud and haughty. When things went smoothly, she felt nothing, but once she lost her support, she might bme unpopular.
She was like an eagle caring for its young, only able to watch as the eaglet fell off the cliff time and time again, learning to fly on its own. She blamed herself, wishing she hadn’t been so despondent to the point of self-destruction when she divorced Bai Changyou. She should have left some options open for her daughter. Even if it meant swallowing her pride andmpromising, or securing more money for her daughter.
Her time to ampany her daughter was running short, so what would she do afterward?
Lu Weixi had been kneeling in her mother’s embrace all this time, and her mother had been holding her, neither saying a word. When dusk fell, Weixi finally stopped sobbing, and her mother helped her to the sofa and patted her shoulder. It was like the times when she would argue with Bai Changyou, and after he stormed out, leaving her sitting futilely in a chair; her daughter would quietly clean up the mess and then hand her a glass of water.
It was then she realized that her daughter had grown up and was no longer the little girl who spent all day shopping, fussing over clothes and skincare products.
But so close to her, she vaguely thought she saw a trace of blue and purple at thellar of her daughter’s clothes.
Looking at the outfit her daughter had changed into, Lu’s mother suddenly realized something.
At first, she hadn’t thought in that direction, mainly because her daughter had been crying about the breakup with Qin Zhigu. But as soon as she saw the marks on her body, she suddenly grasped her daughter’s arm and pushed up the sleeves of her long-sleeved T-shirt.
With that push, she immediately saw unusual marks on her daughter’s body, and looking more closely under thellar, she understood what they were. As someone with experience, she knew exactly what these were. Could it be that some bastard had taken advantage of her daughter’s anger from yesterday?
