She angrily picked up her handbag from the sofa. When she passed by Xin Yu, she glared at her fiercely and ran out of the door.
Xin Yu reached out and pressed her throbbing temples. Seriously, there would never be an end to this. As long as she stepped into this house, Lu Yihan wouldn't be the only one she had to worry about, right?
Li Muhua wasn't around these few days. If she was, what she had to face would definitely be more "exciting" than the scene just now.
"Xin Yu, don't take it to heart."
Lu Shiyun came down from the staircase and explained softly, "Tingting is indeed a little unruly. She's spoiled by her mother, but she's not a bad person. It's just that her words aren't nice. Don't take it to heart."
Xin Yu hurriedly shook her head. "I won't, Dad. Thank you for always protecting me."
Lu Shiyun sighed and then looked at Qin Fangang. "You came back together?"
Xin Yu's expression stiffened. She pursed her lips and thought about how to answer. Qin Fangang nodded calmly and said in a calm tone, "She was injured. I saw her on the road and took her to the hospital. We just happened to come back together."
Tsk, he was really good at lying!
No wonder people said that there was no business without deception. Businessmen were just so deceitful!
Xin Yu cursed in her heart. Lu Shiyun didn't look suspicious. However, when he saw Xin Yu in the wheelchair, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes. He didn't directly ask how her knee was injured. Instead, he asked her if it hurt.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Xin Yu thought about how Lu Shiyun had asked her to come back. He said that he had something to tell her. She was actually very tired after being tormented for most of the night. She just wanted to finish talking so that she could rest. "Dad, you said you had something to tell me?"
Lu Shiyun nodded thoughtfully. "I don't think it's convenient for you to walk around. There's a study downstairs. Come with me."
He then looked at Qin Fangang and said, "It's getting late. You should rest early."
Qin Fangang put his hands in his pockets and watched as Xin Yu pushed the wheelchair and followed Lu Shiyun into the study on the first floor. He then turned and walked into the kitchen.
He picked up a cup and poured himself a cup of water. He placed one hand on the marble countertop and the other hand holding the cup. He took a shallow sip and then placed the cup on the countertop. His slender fingers gently flicked the sides of the cup. He watched the transparent liquid sway slightly under his movements. A sentence instantly flashed through his mind —
"… Fan Gang, you've always done things with a sense of propriety. What was going on this time? Don't blame me for nagging you as an auntie. I'm also an experienced person. I can tell at a glance! "
"You've always been very indifferent. This is the first time I've seen you treat a woman so differently. But this woman isn't just anyone. She's your brother Lu Yihan's wife. Don't forget why you came back this time. Think about how your mother has been living in England for so many years. Think about yourself. You haven't gained anything all these years. Lu Shiyun asked you to come back now. Isn't it because the Lu Clan has been going downhill for the past few years? He's taken a fancy to your business talent! Auntie doesn't want to see you working for others. Don't be foolish. "
…
Qin Fangang's long fingers suddenly reached over and pressed hard on the rim of the cup. Qin Fangang's eyes instantly became unfathomable. He turned his face and looked at the kitchen window. It was pitch black outside, and his eyes seemed to have merged with all the darkness outside the window …
Really? Was it that obvious?
Qin Fangang frowned slightly and lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes covered the complex and indescribable cold emotions in his eyes. After a moment, the corners of his lips curled up, but it had a self-deprecating curve.
— — Special?
Yes, how special was it?
…
In the study room.
Xin Yu was in a wheelchair, so it wasn't very convenient for her to close the door. Lu Shiyun walked in front of her and turned back to close the door before sitting down in his office chair.
After a short silence, Lu Shiyun spoke first, "Xin Yu, I'm looking for you at this hour because I want to talk to you about you and Lu Yihan."
Xin Yu's beautiful brows furrowed. She was a little surprised.
Her and Lu Yihan?
Her mind spun quickly. She recalled that when they were in the living room, Lu Shiyun didn't seem to be suspicious about the injury on her knee. He only asked her if it hurt … Did he already know where the injury came from?
Then, did that mean that he had actually heard the argument between Lu Yihan and herself?
Xin Yu thought for a moment and still chose to remain calm. "… Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Shiyun glanced at her. He was the one who had chosen this daughter-in-law, so he had always known that stubbornness was in her bones. He had always believed that the immature little girl from five years ago who didn't even know how to refute him now had her own thoughts. After slowly training and growing up … he had seen her metamorphosis.
This was very good, wasn't it?
Lu Shiyun sighed inwardly. However, he felt that the child had grown up. After all, there was still the feeling of sand between his fingers. The harder he tried, the harder it was to grasp.
"Xin Yu, you were arguing with Yihan downstairs just now. It was very loud. Dad heard it."
Xin Yu pursed her lips. She had already guessed it, so she looked at him without much surprise. Out of basic courtesy, she still said softly, "… Dad, I'm sorry. I …"
"Don't say sorry." Lu Shiyun waved his hand and interrupted her. "You didn't do anything wrong. This child, Yihan, is indeed too arrogant and unruly. I know very well what he did wrong. However, Xin Yu, as your elder, Dad still wants to ask you to give him another chance. "
Xin Yu's red lips moved. Her fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair also tightened. She looked up and said, "… Dad, the chance is not in my hands. You should know that."
Putting aside his own thoughts, let's just talk about Lu Yihan. Now that his woman was pregnant, how could he still want a chance?
Without feelings, it was all pain. No matter what the original intention was, a marriage of five years should have come to an end by now.
And to them, divorce was the best ending.
"You haven't gotten along well with each other."
Lu Shiyun obviously did not agree. However, as an elder, his tone was still very calm and loving. "Xin Yu, your marriage to Yihan five years ago was indeed a marriage arranged by me. I also know that the two of you don't actually feel that way. You also married into the Lu family for your own reasons. But haven't you been in England for the past five years? You and Yihan basically started from scratch. Now that you're back, I hope that you can at least spend some time to try and get along with him. "
…
Xin Yu lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. She could already tell that Lu Shiyun didn't want her to divorce Lu Yihan. As a junior, and the elder in front of her was her husband's father, other than agreeing with what he said, she shouldn't say anything else.
Then, she might as well not say anything.
Lu Shiyun looked at her submissive expression. Although she didn't say anything, there was a hint of stubbornness in her silence.
"Xin Yu." Lu Shiyun's eyes flashed and he frowned. "I know that you don't want to, but you've married into the Lu family. It's not that easy to get a divorce. I know that you've suffered a lot here, but as long as Dad is here, I will protect you. Give Yihan another chance … "
"Dad." Xin Yu bit her lip and finally looked up. "… If you heard everything, then you must know that it's not because of me. I really don't want to continue like this. I know that I've definitely let you down, but I …"
"Is it because of Lan Ruoran?"
Lu Shiyun frowned and interrupted Xin Yu. His tone was firm as he said, "If it's because of Lan Ruoran, you don't have to worry. I will get rid of this woman. Xin Yu, Yihan is in the wrong, but he's still young. He's your husband for five years. Some things can't be settled with just one hand. The reason why I let you go to the Lu Clan is so that you can nurture your relationship after marriage. Also, I want to tell you that the Lu family is a big family. I won't allow a divorce. Do you understand? "
…
How could she not understand?
Lu Shiyun said that she could either advance or retreat, using both soft and hard methods.
Xin Yu felt a wave of bitterness in her heart. There were some words that she wanted to say, but she couldn't say them. She didn't have the courage, and it seemed like she didn't have the right to.
Lu Shiyun had already told her very clearly that she couldn't get a divorce.
She didn't say anything because she didn't want to agree. However, she couldn't come up with any other excuses. It seemed like even when Lan Ruoran was pregnant, Lu Shiyun didn't want to admit that the child was his grandchild. Xin Yu didn't know if she should feel happy and lucky to have such a father-in-law. Or … should she feel burdened?
That night, Xin Yu tossed and turned, unable to sleep well. Fortunately, Lu Yihan wasn't at the Lu residence that night. Li Muhua and Lu Yiting weren't around either. Actually, the whole world was quiet. The sound of her heart thumping was particularly obvious, but she just couldn't sleep.
Different images and different voices flashed through her mind, tangling with her thoughts.
He had a splitting headache, and his injured knee seemed to be aching in the dark night.
…
Divorce, divorce … She really wanted a divorce, but Lu Shiyun's words wouldn't work at all. So, should she start with Lu Yihan?
If he insisted on a divorce, she believed that Lu Shiyun wouldn't make things difficult for her, right?
Xin Yu turned sideways and rested her head on her arm. She thought about making a trip to the Lu Clan tomorrow. This problem had to be solved, and she couldn't avoid it. Why not have a good talk with Lu Yihan?
