Chapter 117 Just to hear it, she loves you to the core.

Three meals.

In the end, Lu Yanzhi only took a small bite and then stopped.

He looked out the window at the scenery; it was early May, and the heat was beginning to rise.

He stared at it for a very long time.

He felt that the surroundings were very empty at that moment.

It seems there should have been another person beside him.

Grandpa's letter was locked in the drawer; he didn't know how he felt.

"Brother Yanzhi." Han Wei, who was packing up her lunchbox, came over.

Lu Yanzhi glanced at her, signaling her to speak.

"Brother Yanzhi, could you... lend me some money?" Han Wei looked embarrassed. "The studio is having some cash flow problems, but I'll pay you back soon."

"How much?" Lu Yanzhi asked.

"Five million," Han Wei said, her voice even lower.

Lu Yanzhi took out his phone.

"Buzzing".

Han Wei's phone vibrated, and she smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Yanzhi!"

Lu Yanzhi had no particular thoughts; his heart remained calm.

However, after watching Han Wei leave happily, he suddenly said to Secretary Zhou, "Cancel my plans for this afternoon and evening."

Secretary Zhou nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Cancel tomorrow's too," Lu Yanzhi said after a slight pause.

Secretary Zhou was slightly taken aback. It seemed that the cooling-off period was over today, and they would go to get the divorce certificate tomorrow.

He gave Lu Yanzhi a deep look, but in the end did nothing, only replying, "Okay."

After giving his instructions, Lu Yanzhi took his car keys and coat and left.

"Mr. Lu, where are you going?" Secretary Zhou asked immediately.

But Lu Yanzhi just waved his hand.

Secretary Zhou understood and realized he didn't need to contact him anymore.

Lu Yanzhi drove his Maybach around the city all by himself.

He didn't know where he was going; he felt like a cloud floating in mid-air, with no place to land.

The car drove on and on until it finally stopped in a villa area.

The Shi Yichen family used to live here.

On the other side, not far away, is Lu Yanzhi's childhood home.

Lu Yanzhi opened the car door and walked step by step toward the house.

Many years have passed, and the little house has become old.

As a burst of laughter and cheers approached, Lu Yanzhi saw that the small villa had changed owners.

When Shi Yichen died, he faced liquidation, so this small villa was also sold.

Lu Yanzhi stood there, looking at the happy family of three inside. He seemed to see the Shi Nian family of three from that summer vacation.

An adult couple dances together, while a little girl laughs and plays music beside them.

The fiery red dance skirt fluttered in the wind, and he would never forget the smile on the little girl's face.

"Don't run! You'll fall!" a voice called out.

"Ouch!" The little girl, the new owner of the house, came running over without anyone noticing.

She was running too fast and suddenly fell to the ground, pouting and shedding tears.

Lu Yanzhi squatted down, took out a handkerchief, and wiped away the little girl's tears, as if he wanted to wipe away someone's tears.

"Don't cry," he said, then opened his large palm, took the little girl's hand, and helped her up.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lu." The person inside ran out and immediately thanked him.

Everyone living nearby knows who Lu Yanzhi is.

Lu Yanzhi waved his hand to indicate that it was not important.

He glanced down at the little girl again.

The little girl had stopped crying, but she looked at him with some fear.

Lu Yanzhi smiled, a sudden upward curve to his lips.

Then, he straightened up, turned around, and left.

For a few moments, he actually mistook the little girl for Shi Nian.

That year, Shi Nian watched helplessly as her father died before her eyes.

That was Shi Nian, before she gave him a cold look.

Lu Yanzhi sighed deeply and sat back in the car.

Where else should we go?

He didn't know, so he just kept driving.

The car drove a very, very long way, until finally, it arrived at a desolate corner.

Located nearby is a huge building.

City A First Prison

The car stopped, and Lu Yanzhi knew who he wanted to see.

After completing all the formalities, Lu Yanzhi sat down and looked at the man on the other side.

When the man saw him, he first gave a cold laugh before picking up the microphone.

Lu Yanzhi also picked up the microphone.

"Busy Mr. Lu, how come you have time to come see me?" the man said sarcastically.

But Lu Yanzhi only looked at the man in front of him.

Wu Jing, Shi Nian's former stepfather.

"What did Shi Nian send you here to tell me?" Wu Jing asked angrily.

“It wasn’t her, it was me,” Lu Yanzhi finally said.

"Not her?" Wu Jing asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"When you sent me here, you said that scum like me didn't deserve to talk to you."

Lu Yanzhi just kept looking at Wu Jing.

He was wearing prison clothes. In the years he had been inside, he had become thinner than before and seemed to be doing neither well nor badly.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhi remained silent, Wu Jing seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

"If you won't tell me, I will." Wu Jing thought for a moment and said, "How have things been between you and that girl Shi Nian these past few years since I came here?"

Lu Yanzhi did not answer.

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

"No, back then you liked her, and she loved you to death, hahaha."

He continued, "Are you married?"

Lu Yanzhi nodded, but then paused.

Seeing this, Wu Jing shook his head and clicked his tongue.

"Shi Nian actually married into a wealthy family. I know you two have a deep relationship, and I also know that before Shu Hui came with me, Shi Nian lived the life of a rich girl. But isn't the Lu family very powerful? Can your family accept her?"

Lu Yanzhi nodded again.

Wu Jing got really into it.

"Wow, she's amazing! She managed to handle everyone. How did she do it?"

It seemed like it had been a long time since Wu Jing had spoken to anyone outside, and he appeared very excited and curious.

Perhaps it's because of sincerity and dedication.

Although the two initially got married because of her grandfather's illness, her grandparents later valued her highly.

"Fine, don't talk about it then. But what did you come here for? Just to chat with me?" Wu Jing said.

As if he had just thought of something, he asked, "What happened to Shi Nian?"

Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly.

"We're getting a divorce," Lu Yanzhi said.

Even though it was fake, and they would remarry six months later, he still felt sad.

"Divorce?" Wu Jing was genuinely shocked. "Your family doesn't like her?"

"Hahaha, she's really in trouble now. She loved you to the core, and now she's a discarded woman. I bet she'll cry her eyes out!"

"Cool!"

Wu Jing was still laughing.

When the time came, Lu Yanzhi put down his things and left.

He glanced one last time at Wu Jing, who was laughing loudly.

It wasn't that his family disliked Shi Nian; it was he who proposed the divorce to her.

"Let's go," someone urged.

Lu Yanzhi withdrew his gaze and walked outside.

He thought for a while before he realized that he had come here to see Wu Jing just to hear Wu Jing say that sentence—"She loves you to the core."
