Chapter 1273 - Chapter 1273 Chapter 1266 Discovery (4)

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1266: Discovery (4) Chapter 1273: Chapter 1266: Discovery (4) But she felt quite good about herself, however, once she stepped out, the eyes of the second and third branches bulged out.

Especially the third branch, which specifically pointed out Qin Weijia and Qin Zhizhi. Grandpa usually never meddled in affairs, so when he spoke, it was a big deal. Why at this time did he call Lu Weixi aside alone, and both of them looked so composed, as if “the overall situation was settled”? Could it be that in order to keep his eldest granddaughter-in-law and to reassure her, Grandpa Qin had made some promise to her?

It wasn’t just the second and third branches, even the visiting Bai Changyou and his family had somewhat unfriendly looks in their eyes.

Right now the third branch might be jumping high, but after all, Hanhai was still under the old master’s control. It was clear that between Qin Zhiyou and Qin Zhizhi, the old master favored the former more. And among their wives, he only liked Lu Weixi. As for Cai Yiren, he was neither averse nor close to her–indifferent, to put it bluntly.

With Fang Rushuang’s affair with Qin Zhiyou coming to light in the past few days, Bai Changyou was also anxious, after all, Rushuang was a senior executive in his company. His visit today was to show loyalty to the third branch. But after going around in circles, if the Qin Family still ended up in Lu Weixi’s hands, what was the point of all his efforts?

Unable to help herself, Qin Zhimei mocked with a tinge of sourness, “Sister-in-law, you spoke with Grandpa for quite a while, huh? Why don’t you also share with us, so we can all be happy?”

Since the divorce, Lu Weixi had grown indifferent to all matters concerning the Qin Family and naturally would not engage in her provocation. It was already noon, time for setting the table for lunch when Grandpa Qin remarked, “Now that you’re here, stay for a meal. I know you’re both very busy–one constantly on business trips, and the other always running around with designs. There won’t be much time for you to be together in the future.”

Grandpa Qin knew about their divorce, yet even Qin Zhiyou couldn’t tell from his words, and he glanced at Lu Weixi. It was just a meal; it wouldn’t be polite for Lu Weixi to refuse, so she nodded in agreement. However, after consenting, she also sent her mother a text message, stating that the Qin Family had asked her to stay for a meal and to prepare her own food.

So the two of them, despite being divorced, still sat together tacitly. The Qin Family’s meal spread was large, with both meat and vegetables, and naturally, there was fish. Lu Weixi, now heavily affected by morning sickness, couldn’t even stand the smell of oily, fatty, or fishy foods, let alone eating fish. Qin Zhiyou was oblivious, while Cai Yiren and Qin Zhizhi across from them deliberately flaunted their affection, serving each other food and even came over to tease, “Big brother always liked it when sister-in-law arranges the vegetables, right? Why so reserved today?”

Lu Weixi couldn’t be bothered with them and just focused on eating her leafy greens. It was Qin Zhiyou who slightly frowned upon seeing Aunt Hao serving a dish–sweet and sour squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. With a glance, he indicated for Aunt Hao to place the dish in front of Lu Weixi.

Although the dish was tangy with a hint of sourness, the fishy smell was still present, not to mention it was deep-fried. Lu Weixi almost threw up instantly.

Until the end of the meal, she hadn’t touched a single bite of fish. Furthermore, Qin Zhiyou had Aunt Hao specifically put some of her favorite dishes, like stir-fried beef, in front of her, but she did not touch any of it, as if she had intentionally blocked them out from herself.

Qin Zhiyou felt genuinely saddened in his heart. When dessert–fermented rice dumplings–was served, which was sweet, she specifically asked for a serving. But to her surprise, upon tasting it, they were meat-filled glutinous rice balls, the strong meat flavor nearly causing her to vomit on the spot.
