At this moment, Shen Qianqian's drug effects had just worn off. She regained consciousness and, seeing herself in Zhang Wei's house, gasped in shock. She never imagined that her own mother would drug her and bring her home.
Her head was still a little dizzy. She got up, pushed open the door, and went out. Zhang Wei was sitting on the sofa in the living room, smiling at her.
"You're awake? Come and have breakfast."
Shen Qianqian remained somewhat wary. She'd only been drugged yesterday; what would they do with her again today?
Zhang Wei looked at her wary daughter and smiled, "I didn't put any sleeping pills in today, so eat it without worry."
Hearing this, Chen Qianqian lowered her guard slightly. Her stomach growled; she hadn't eaten anything since being drugged and brought back last night, and was quite hungry. She picked up the egg noodles in front of her and started eating, listening to Zhang Wei say beside her:
"After hearing your story about you and Lu Yunzhi yesterday, and the happiness in your ordinary days, there was indeed a moment when I started to believe in his character."
"Then why did you drug me and bring me back?" Shen Qianqian muttered as she asked. Zhang Wei continued, "Because of your father."
Shen Qianqian paused slightly after hearing those four words while eating her noodles. If that was the case, it seemed that it would indeed be difficult for her to return to Lu Yunzhi's side from her mother's side.
However, his own father really screwed him over.
Her parents were very much in love before their divorce. Zhang Wei and Shen Yuan fell in love at first sight. At that time, Shen Yuan was just a poor young man. Zhang Wei disregarded her parents' objections and resolutely came to a strange city with him, watching him go from having nothing to becoming the manager of a factory. Just when life was getting better and better, a woman came to their door with a three-year-old boy.
It was only then that Zhang Wei learned that her husband had spent a night with another woman three years prior, and that she had given birth to his illegitimate child. Enraged, she divorced Shen Yuan, packed her bags, and returned to her parents' city, from which point on, she scoffed at the notion of love at first sight and true love.
There is no such thing as exclusive love, no man who is always reliable, and no marriage that is always faithful.
These three sentences pierced Zhang Wei's heart like a thorn, so much so that when she first read...
When she saw Lu Yunzhi and his entire family, she was certain that this young man could not give her daughter happiness!
But after hearing what her daughter said, she softened and decided to test Lu Yunzhi.
"But don't rush things. This time, I mainly want to see how deep his feelings for you really are." Zhang Wei looked at Shen Qianqian and said, "If you pass the final test, then I'll approve of your relationship. If you don't pass, even if I have to keep you tied up at home all day, I will absolutely not let you see him again."
"How do we test it?" Shen Qianqian asked.
"I won't tell you yet, so you won't tip me off," Zhang Wei replied.
Shen Qianqian wasn't particularly anxious, after all, she believed in Lu Yunzhi's feelings for her.
In his past life, when he was a ghost, Lu Yunzhi never married after her death. Until his last breath, he kept murmuring her name.
At the same time, Lu Yunzhi had just arrived at the village entrance and hadn't even had a chance to get on the bus when the village chief's son, Dazhu, handed him a letter:
"Lu Yunzhi, the letter that was sent to you early this morning seems to be from Shen Zhiqing." Dazhu and Lu Yunzhi were close, so he naturally knew how important Shen Zhiqing was to Lu Yunzhi.
Knowing that Shen, the educated youth, had returned home yesterday, Lu Yunzhi must be frantic with worry. So, upon seeing the letter early this morning, she prepared to deliver it to Lu Yunzhi immediately, only to run into him as soon as she stepped outside.
Lu Yunzhi opened the letter and began to read it word by word, but his expression grew increasingly solemn, because this...
This wasn't an ordinary letter; it was a letter demanding a divorce, and more importantly—the handwriting was faint. He couldn't possibly mistake it!
Does Qianqian really want to divorce him?
Lu Yunzhi's mind was in complete turmoil, and he slumped against the wall in despair.
Seeing Lu Yunzhi's expression, Dazhu didn't know how to comfort him and stood aside anxiously.
The letter was already crumpled into a ball by Lu Yunzhi, and the scene of his first meeting with Shen Qianqian floated into his mind.
She wore a floral dress, her long, jet-black hair cascading down her back. In the bright moonlight, he looked down and met her eyes, clear and bright, yet seemingly brimming with tears. She trembled slightly from the fear of encountering the thugs, thanked him, and then gently tugged at his sleeve, asking, "Could you take me home?"
At that moment, Lu Yunzhi's heart softened completely, but when he escorted Shen Qianqian back to her building, he looked up at the tall buildings and then down at his muddy cloth shoes. He realized the vast difference between them; if she was a bright moon hanging in the night sky, then he was merely a dim streetlamp by the roadside, his future uncertain.
"Qianqian..." Lu Yunzhi murmured to himself. He was unwilling to give up like this, but what should he do if Qianqian really didn't want to?
My mind is in a state of endless inner turmoil.
After a moment, Lu Yunzhi finally understood everything. The darkness of the night cannot be completely illuminated by the silvery glow of the moon alone, but if artificial light is added, it is enough to bring light back to the dark world.
He secretly made up his mind that he wanted to hear Qianqian say the words "divorce" to him in person. Even if Qianqian ultimately decided to divorce, he would steadfastly stay by her side, protect her, and take care of her. He would be her most loyal knight.
Having figured all this out, Lu Yunzhi finally arrived at Zhang Wei's door after many twists and turns, and knocked on the door with trembling hands.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and the person who entered was not Shen Qianqian, but Zhang Wei.
"You're not welcome here!" Zhang Wei blurted out these words almost the instant she saw Lu Yunzhi, then slammed the door shut and left.
Lu Yunzhi was turned away, but he didn't intend to give up. He simply sat down at Zhang Wei's door and waited quietly.
Inside the house, Zhang Wei had just closed the door when she turned around and met Shen Qianqian's resentful gaze. Her daughter was clearly blaming her for tormenting Lu Yunzhi.
Indeed, although it was early spring, the temperature was still not high in the mornings and evenings. Lu Yunzhi was in the stairwell, which was filled with cold air and not much different from the temperature outside.
She observed Lu Yunzhi through the window facing the stairwell. Lu Yunzhi was squatting on the ground, curled up in a ball, trying to keep warm. He was clearly freezing, but there was no sign of impatience on his face; instead, his brows revealed a resolute air.
But this is just the beginning; she might give up soon. Thinking this, Zhang Wei drew the curtains.
She wanted to see just how determined this young man from the Lu family was in his feelings for her daughter.
