Chapter 159: Wu Guizhi with Other Thoughts]
These words immediately sobered up Wu Guizhi, who was controlled by anger. It was like a bolt from the blue. She widened her eyes in shock, stumbled back a few steps, looked at him in disbelief, pointed at him with trembling fingers, and her mind was controlled by another feeling of grievance:
"What did you say, you want to divorce me? You actually want to divorce me, have you been out..."
Lu Yanzhi covered his mother's mouth tightly to prevent her from regretting it later, and hurriedly changed the subject to persuade her.
"Hey, hey, hey! Mom, stop making trouble, calm down, Dad is just following your words, he doesn't really want to do this."
Lu Yanzhi whispered in his mother's ear: "Mom, I know you are angry, but once you say this, the contradiction will be bigger and it will make people feel more disappointed. Calm down, don't let anything really happen, I know you don't want a divorce."
She couldn't get a divorce, she was determined not to get a divorce.
Wu Guizhi suddenly woke up, sweat all over her back, and hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and changed her words.
"No, no, you are saying bad things about me outside. I tell you, Lu Jianlin, there is no way. I will stick to you for the rest of my life. If you think so, I will not do as you wish. I have changed my mind. I will not go back to my parents' home. I will still cook for you and wash your clothes. What can you do to me?" Fortunately,
her son stopped her, otherwise she could not imagine the consequences.
Lu Jianlin could not refute these words. He really said it in a hurry. He did not want to divorce. At such an old age, he would not let others see such a joke.
"You..."
Lu Jinghe saw Lu Yanzhi looking at Lu Jianlin and about to speak, so he hurried ahead to persuade him.
"Dad, you should talk less. Harmony is the most important thing in this family."
After saying that, Lu Jinghe gave Lu Yanzhi a look, asking him to persuade his mother.
Lu Yanzhi nodded slightly to him, took Wu Guizhi and said:
"Mom, you have thought about other things too. There is nothing wrong with Dad doing this. Then just listen to Dad about the house. It originally belonged to Dad. Big brother is also the eldest son of our Lu family. I have been squandering too much recently. If I were dad, I would do the same. Don't worry, mom, I will work hard and let you have a good life in the future."
Wu Guizhi opened her mouth to retort, but Lu Yanzhi covered her mouth again and whispered to her: "Stop making trouble for now, or my dad will really divorce you. In the end, you will have nothing. Mom, if you make trouble too much, it will really be too much."
Wu Guizhi listened and didn't dare to speak for a moment. He was sure of what she was saying.
But Wu Guizhi thought it was not her fault and she had been holding it in her heart.
Now, in order to avoid things from developing into an unexpected situation, she had to keep her mouth shut and swallow the matter temporarily to ease the crisis.
But it was absolutely impossible for her to save face and apologize, so no matter how hard Lu Yanzhi tried, she just wouldn't say a word.
Lu Jianlin would not apologize, and he didn't think he was wrong. Apologizing would cost him his life.
So the two began a cold war, neither of them bowed their heads to apologize, and neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was weird.
Lu Jinghe wanted to break the deadlock, so he pulled Lu Jianlin and persuaded him: "Dad, you should apologize to Auntie, or I will go to the Housing Authority to transfer the ownership back. Don't be angry about this."
"No, no, the name on the house can only be yours." Lu Jianlin was adamant. There was no way. Now it was like this. If he apologized and then transferred the house back, it would be exactly what the Wu family wanted. The Wu family would probably go against him and insist on the impossible.
"Listen to what your dad said. How can you ask me to apologize? It's impossible." When Wu Guizhi heard this, her eyes sank. She was completely disappointed and gave up on letting Lu Jianlin get the house back personally. As her brother said, Lu Jianlin never cared about them and never thought about giving them the house. They had to find a way themselves.
Wu Guizhi was determined to get it.
Lu Jinghe saw her expression and was filled with hatred. It was worth the big show. She hoped not to disappoint him.
Wu Guizhi didn't want to stay here. She left Lu Yanzhi and rushed out angrily.
"Mom, what are you doing? Come back soon." Lu Yanzhi chased after her anxiously and saw his mother collecting her clothes under the eaves. He shouted in panic, "Mom, don't be impulsive!"
"What are you doing? Wash up and go to bed! Don't you let me rest?"
Wu Guizhi rolled her eyes at her useless and lagging son, looked at Lu Jinghe who seemed to be smiling, and then looked at Lu Jianlin who was indifferent. She was furious and ran into the house with her clothes in her arms.
She had already planned to act on her own. She must take the house back. It should have been hers. She would never allow it to be taken advantage of by Lu Jinghe.
**
Ten days had passed since the Lu couple had a big fight. In the first five days, no one spoke to each other. No one even ate at home. They all ate in the cafeteria and went about their own business. The atmosphere in the Lu family was even more depressing than that cemetery.
In the last five days, with Lu Yanzhi's tireless communication and Lu Jinghe's "persuasion", the Lu family became more vocal. The atmosphere changed from depressing to awkward and intermittent, and the atmosphere in the house was also harmonious.
It was at this time that Wu Guizhi found an opportunity to return to her parents' home during the day.
Lu Jinghe came out from behind, looked at her from behind, and smiled meaningfully, which seemed a bit intrusive.
Wu Guizhi had no idea at all. After returning to her parents' home, the whole family sat together to discuss things.
"Brother, tell me."
Wu Qiang spat on the ground angrily, and said angrily:
"I only met her once that day, and was betrayed by the people I was looking for. Those people knew a friend of Lu Jinghe, named Sister An. So we can't look for anyone else this time. We can only rely on ourselves and try to avoid leaks."
"Sister An? That damn girl Qin Yian?"
Wu Guizhi gritted her teeth and said:
"Speaking of which, my family still has 30,000 yuan in her hands. I used to think of letting Lu Jinghe marry her to make money. Now it seems that Lu Jinghe is not a good person. He actually let the old man trust him so much and insisted on putting several houses under his name. Humph, then both of you should spit out your things."
