Chapter 453: Chapter 454 Wound (Extra update with 400 monthly tickets)
The most disgusting people in this matter are not him, not Liu Yiyi, but Bai Changyou and the Bai Family.
They maliciously provoked everything, and even when they knew that her mother was ill because of them, they had no regrets. Instead, they had the nerve to come knocking on her door, criticizing her for discontinuing the cooperation between Hanhai and the Bai Family. Cai’s mother and Cai Yiren even boasted audaciously, who gave them such courage, Liang Jingru?
Qin Zhiyou stood up for her this morning and handled the Bai Family, which did make her feel a bit better. No matter how dissatisfied she was with Qin Zhiyou, when compared, Qin Zhiyou seemed a little less offensive.
Looking at her stunned gaze, Qin Zhiyou also sighed. He walked up to her, bent down, held her hands, his line of sight level with Lu Weixi’s who was sitting on the bed.
“I didn’t handle this issue properly. Choosing Liu Yiyi was a mistake.”
Hearing Liu Yiyi’s name again after so many days, Lu Weixi still found it somewhat unbearable. Not only did Liu Yiyi bother her, but her mother indirectly got sick because of her. And moreover, Qin Zhiyou used to dote on Liu Yiyi…
She slowly shifted her gaze away, “It’s in the past now, we don’t need to talk about it anymore.”
But Qin Zhiyou felt it necessary to explain, “The incident with Liu Yiyi’s video recently, that was my doing. At that time, I only wanted to break off relations with her and punish her for disrespecting you. This led to the whole incident. I did not expect it to cause my mother to fall ill.”
His decision to use the video indeed had some personal motives. He knew that Liu Yiyi, as a host, cared greatly about her image and was extremely vain. By releasing the video, he ended her career and shattered her dignity. On the other hand, he used Liu Yiyi’s rivals to release the video, thereby distancing himself from the incident. Liu Yiyi had no idea that he was behind it, and he could even use her to continue providing his aunt with false information.
When the incident blew up, he was initially quite pleased. He even continued to fan the flames to create more discussion. However, he didn’t expect his mother to see the whole thing and then get seriously ill.
Although Qin Zhiyou’s philandering ways after marrying had been a subject of much gossip, no one questioned it openly. Regardless of how others speculated, he never admitted to anything. If any woman tried to use his name to seek publicity, he would immediately reject her, reducing the hype, pulling down the online discussion, and minimizing its impact. Hence, over the years, although people might know about his affairs, no one really thoroughly investigated.
Liu Yiyi’s incident was like an outbreak that led to all his past scandals being exposed. It was as if a cloak had been lifted, revealing all the dirty secrets underneath. His mother had been kept in the dark because of this cover and because her daughter had always avoided discussing it. Though she had been anxious, the impact hadn’t been that profound.
But now, that all the issues have been dumped out, she was not strong enough to bear it.
Indeed, when he mentioned her mother’s illness, Lu Weixi frowned slightly, her hand quietly slid out from Qin Zhiyou’s.
Some wounds, intended or otherwise, are hard to ignore once inflicted.
