Looking at Qiu Ya, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, Lu Xiuwu felt extremely heartbroken and wanted to hold her in his arms.
But when he thought about his situation, he pulled his outstretched hand back.
He has a family now, so he can't just barge in like that.
Although Lin Cong's actions were excessive, basic principles of conduct should not be abandoned. Even if it's about settling scores, one should go to Lin Cong.
"Qiuya, let's not dwell on the past; it only adds to the sorrow. If Lin Cong hits you again, go to the Women's Federation in the neighborhood. If all else fails, have you considered divorce?"
Lu Xiuwu patted her back and said.
Qiuya sniffed and looked at him with a wronged expression.
“I brought up divorce, but he reacted strongly and absolutely refused. After all, my father had only recently passed away, and he still needed to rely on his remaining prestige for protection. Divorce would affect his future career advancement.”
Lu Xiuwu's face darkened, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Why did he have to meet her when he was so down on his luck?
With my own head full of troubles, how can I say I want to protect her?
Seeing him clench his fists and look pained, Qiuya remembered what he had just done, quickly wiped away her tears, and asked:
"Are you having some trouble? You almost drowned just now."
After saying that, an ominous thought crossed her mind, but she ultimately didn't voice it.
Lu Xiuwu didn't intend to hide it from her; it was better to tell her what kind of person he was so that she wouldn't have any hope.
"Just because of a thousand dollars?"
Qiu Ya was surprised. She had never worried about money since birth. Even now, when she was being abused by Lin Cong, she never lacked money for daily expenses.
Before her father passed away, he gave her a savings book with more than 10,000 yuan in it.
"Don't worry, come with me. I have my bankbook with me."
Qiuya tugged at his sleeve.
She was supposed to go to the bank to withdraw some money and go to the hospital for a check-up today.
Despite being married for so long, she still hasn't had a child; Lin Cong calls her a barren hen.
I remembered visiting the lake not long ago and finding the scenery quite nice, so I passed by here.
Lu Xiuwu woke up groggily and followed her to the bank.
Qiuya took out 1,100 yuan, gave him 1,000 yuan, and said she would use 100 yuan to go to the hospital later.
Lu Xiuwu was excited after receiving the money. Not knowing how to repay her, he accompanied her to the hospital.
Qiuya was deeply moved. She had thought she would have to face the cold examination equipment alone, but she never expected that someone would be there to accompany her.
Especially after the gynecological examination, she had a slight stomachache, and Lu Xiuwu somehow managed to get her some hot water to drink.
The test results showed that she had no health problems at all, and the doctor suggested that the man also get tested.
Qiuya naturally pulled Lu Xiuwu away, and was even ridiculed by the doctor for being unable to have children. He said that nowadays, men who can't have children know to blame women, but don't even bother to get themselves checked.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiuwu gave a wry smile. He had never even touched a woman's hand in his life, so he really didn't know if he was fertile.
After leaving the hospital, the two had nothing more to say and went home separately.
Lu Xiuwu took the money to a loan shark and saw Zhang Guixiang, who had been tortured beyond recognition. He was filled with resentment.
"You guys are absolutely inhuman!"
He paid the money and took the person away, but he was seething with anger.
"Son, accept your fate. These people are lawless. I heard someone told them not to show any mercy! I bet it's that Lu Wanqing! She's a scourge, a jinx!"
Zhang Guixiang was beaten, and she spoke in a very soft voice, but her tone was full of anger.
"Mom, why are you so hostile towards Wanqing! You raised her for eighteen years, don't you have any feelings for her at all?"
Lu Xiuwu was utterly baffled as to how his mother had become like this!
"Pah! You know nothing! Jiajia is my child, Lu Wanqing is just that bitch's bastard!"
Zhang Guixiang finally revealed the secret she had kept hidden in her heart.
It turns out that before Lu Aiguo married Zhang Guixiang, he had a girlfriend named Li Man, who was a college student.
Unfortunately, Li Man's parents did not agree to her marrying Lu Aiguo, who was just a fitter. In a fit of anger, she started dating someone else.
Lu Aiguo also married Zhang Guixiang under his parents' arrangement.
Who knew that eighteen years later, Lu Jiajia came to the Lu family with a diary and told them that when Li Man and she were giving birth in the same hospital, Li Man had secretly switched her child with Li Man's.
In other words, Lu Wanqing is Riemann's child.
She wanted to confront Riemann, but unfortunately, Riemann had already passed away from illness.
Lu Jiajia lives with Li Man and is constantly harassed, leading to a very tense relationship between them.
While Li Man was hospitalized, she accidentally learned about her own background. As soon as Li Man died, she rushed back to the Lu family.
When Zhang Guixiang learned that her biological daughter was suffering outside while Lu Wanqing had been pampered at home for eighteen years, she felt extremely resentful and devised a plan to send her to the countryside.
"It's such a pity that your sister has such a hard life. She endured eighteen years of hardship outside, and then suffered this calamity after returning home. I wonder if she's still alive!"
When Zhang Guixiang thought of Lu Jiajia, tears involuntarily streamed down her face again.
Lu Xiuwu really didn't expect that Lu Wanqing had no blood relation to the Lu family at all!
He once suspected that Lu Jiajia might be his father's illegitimate daughter.
So that's how it all started.
"Mom, you can tell Wanqing what happened. She's innocent too. Maybe she can even find her family!"
Lu Xiuwu was dissatisfied with his mother's previous actions.
Zhang Guixiang sneered:
"How can you expect me to forgive her for what her mother did? A slut's child is a slut too. I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to have an easy time. And you're not allowed to tell Lu Wanqing about this either."
So what if she's successful in her career now? She still doesn't even know her own biological parents!
Lu Xiuwu was at a loss for words when he saw his mother, who was already covered in bruises, say such things.
However, Lu Wanqing is currently riding high, so it probably doesn't matter whether she has parents or not!
"Achoo~" Lu Wanqing sneezed while she was in a meeting.
In the sweltering heat, with the fan on and her forehead covered in sweat, how did she manage to sneeze?
Lu Wanqing didn't take it seriously and continued the meeting.
To everyone's surprise, during the break, Huo Xiao brought her a cup of brown sugar ginger tea.
"It's hot during the day, but it's still a bit chilly at night. Did you catch a chill last night?" he asked with concern.
Lu Wanqing thought of the passionate night before, when she and Lin Ye were drenched in sweat and had only covered their bellies to sleep, and her face flushed.
"I didn't realize you were so caring at such a young age," Lu Wanqing praised.
Huo Xiao's face was ashen, but inwardly he thought, "How is he young? He's already an adult!"
