Chapter 606 - 608: Right and Wrong (1)
Lu Weixi had visited her on set before, but at that time, Xue Feifei was filming a web drama, which was a low-budget one and didn’t even have the set cleared. This time though, the production was a major movie directed by a renowned director and starred by a high-profile actor.
“Ah, sorry, I forgot, Xiang Yirou is the lead actress.”
Xue Feifei just sent this message when she remembered this detail. Even though Xiang Yirou might not be acquainted with Lu Weixi, it wouldn’t be good if he visited the set and ran into her.
“No, it’s not that. Something came up for me these few days. I’ll come after I finish handling them.”
It was about Lu Weixi’s mother, who was said to be leaving the hospital.
Lu’s mother was typically soft-spoken, but even the warm-hearted could lose their temper. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a scene when she divorced Bai Changyou.
She did not want to spend a penny of Qin Zhiyou’s money or share in any bit of his fortune. Having fought against cancer for years, she was relatively content with her daughter’s career progress and was prepared for her own death. The only thing bothering her was her daughter’s relationship with Qin Zhiyou.
As an elder, she only wished for her daughter’s stable life. She did not think highly of Qin Zhiyou, truly not. Even if her daughter was in love with Qin Zhiyou, she wished her daughter would cut off the entanglement swiftly and be determined to separate with him as soon as possible.
Qin Zhiyou was a playboy, and he was wealthy and influential enough to sustain his lifestyle. Even if he was just an ordinary man, men naturally had a longer timeline to balance both their career and family life. A woman in her thirties who remained unmarried was referred to as a leftover woman, while a man in his forties who was not married was still deemed as a desirable bachelor. It was not easy for a divorced woman to find a decent second marriage, but men could easily remarry, even for the third time. A woman in her thirties found it difficult to find a younger husband or even one of the same age, but a man, even at forty, could still marry a girl in her twenties.
These were social realities that couldn’t be denied, even with the constant advocacy of gender equality.
Lu Weixi was currently blinded by love. She was twenty-seven now, her career was going well, and even after divorce, there would still be many opportunities for her. But if it dragged on for a couple more years, it would truly be difficult to find a match.
A parent’s love for their child is far-sighted. Even if she had to play the villain breaking apart a loving couple, it was worth it to her.
Lu Weixi naturally understood her mother’s considerations. In fact, if it hadn’t been for Qin Zhiyou’s promise yesterday, giving him one last chance, perhaps even if they didn’t divorce now, their marriage, full of doubts, would gradually lose its vitality, wither, and finally die.
But she was in love with him, and since she promised to give him a chance, no matter what happened next, as long as he didn’t breach her trust, she would not divorce him.
Today was Sunday, she went to the hospital alone, and upon arrival, her mother refused to see her and sent her away immediately.
