Chapter 464: It’s better to die, death will make room
When Lu Qi heard about this, he had already re-registered for marriage and had a different wife.
Even Gu Qingshi was stunned by the speed.
"Less than ten minutes? The divorced Zhuo Yao and the remarried woman went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together? Zhuo Yao agreed?"
Gu Qingshi felt that Zhuo Yao was unwilling to divorce no matter how he looked at it.
"Whether they were willing or not, they also got divorced, and they did go together. I heard that Zhuo Yao and Lu Qi went in together to get a divorce first, and then Lu Qi took Yu Wenjun in to get a marriage certificate."
Fang Wen looked at Lu Yuan and Gu Qing with an expression that was hard to describe. "If we hadn't severed our relationship, you and your sister-in-law would have had a stepmother who is only a few years older than you."
This stepmother had been wearing a wedding dress not long ago and was ready to give herself to Lu Yuan. She was completely devoted to Lu Yuan and then she married Lu Qi and became Lu Yuan's stepmother.
That’s right, the stepmother is Yu Wenjun. It was unexpected, unsurprising and natural. There was no one else but him.
Fang Wen wiped his face and said, "That's how it is."
No one expected that Lu Qi and Zhuo Yao would end their marriage in such a dramatic way, just as no one expected that they would be together back then.
More than 20 years ago, they got together passionately, but many years later, they also separated passionately.
Zhuo Yao caught Lu Qi and Yu Wenjun and had a fight with Lu Qi, which laid the seeds for their divorce.
Zhuo Yao's death threat did make Lu Qi wary, but he was also fed up with it.
Zhuo Yao hit him in the face, leaving some scratches and bruises. His face was covered with bruises and purples, so Lu Qi couldn't go to work, for fear that everyone would see and laugh at him.
He thought it would disappear in two days, but unexpectedly, the bruise was very difficult to remove. Moreover, it was purple at first, but after two days, the blue area turned green and then yellow.
With such a green and yellow face, Lu Qi was too embarrassed to see anyone, so he was forced to stay at home to recuperate. While he was recuperating, Yu Wenjun's life became even more difficult.
Her reputation became even worse. People said all kinds of nasty things about her, saying that she was a shameless vixen who seduced a married man. They also mocked her that her husband's old man didn't want her. Even Yu's father and mother were subject to a lot of gossip.
Yu's father was very concerned about his reputation and felt extremely ashamed, so he shouted that he wanted to kill Yu Wenjun and wipe out the family.
Yu's mother thought more simply and straightforwardly. Before, it would have been impossible for her to accept Lu Qi as a son-in-law. She even felt uncomfortable talking about it. But now the situation is different.
The previous rumors about Lu Qi were just rumors, and no one saw it. But now that the neighbors saw it, it is completely unclear. Since it is completely unclear, there is only one way to go.
There is no point in shouting for war and killing now. She only has one daughter, Yu Wenjun, whom she has raised for many years. Now she has problems at work and has no way out for the time being. It is unrealistic for her to go abroad again, and she can forget about marrying a rich husband. So she'll choose Lu Qi.
It is true that Lu Qi is old, but that is not unacceptable. At least his hair is not gray yet, and at least he is a member of the Lu family, which is a hundred times better than those old men.
More importantly, Lu Qi is still fertile at his age, and Yu Wenjun can still have children.
After Yu's mother had a talk with Yu Wenjun, she thought the time was right, so she went to find Lu Qi and asked Lu Qi to help send Yu Wenjun to another place or abroad, saying that Yu Wenjun could not survive any longer.
Yu's mother told Lu Qi the insults those people said, as well as the words that mocked Yu Wenjun for not wanting her.
Lu Qi heard that Yu Wenjun was scolded so much that she dared not go out. Yu's mother and others were also affected. Yu Wenjun cried all day. Lu Qi felt distressed, guilty and angry. "Who said I don't want her? I just don't dare to say it or think about it. She is still so young. How can these people be so vicious!"
Yu's mother smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, but Lu Qi's heart was completely shaken.
He really couldn't bear to see Yu Wenjun being scolded like that. After all, it was he who was responsible for this matter.
He followed Yu's mother to see Yu Wenjun. Seeing that Yu Wenjun's eyes were red and she looked fragile, she still smiled and comforted him. She even told him not to blame Zhuo Yao. Lu Qi's heart was completely tilted when Yu Wenjun spoke well of Zhuo Yao.
On one side is the old, crazy Zhuo Yao who keeps shouting that she wants to kill people, and on the other side is the young, rational, sensible, weak but considerate Yu Wenjun. It is obvious who to choose.
"Wenjun, I will protect you, don't be afraid, I will be responsible, as long as you are willing."
Facing the weak Yu Wenjun, Lu Qi felt so distressed that he just gave up and thought, since everyone says that I am a shameless old man who gets bored easily, I will just show it to you.
As long as Yu Wenjun is willing, he is willing to marry her and make those who talk nonsense shut up.
Yu Wenjun was stunned for a moment when she heard what Lu Qi said, then lowered her head and kept silent. Lu Qi looked at her anxiously, "Wenjun, if you are willing or not, just tell me, otherwise I am afraid I will force you."
Yu Wenjun glanced at him in reproach, "You..."
Lu Qi's heart moved, and he said, "I just want to ask clearly, after all, what you liked before was..."
Yu Wenjun's face turned pale when she heard this, "Do you also think I'm fickle?"
"No, of course not." Lu Qi denied it quickly.
Yu Wenjun seemed to be relieved, and stammered, "I was too young before, and I thought that the love of youth would last forever. I was so stubborn, but I didn't know that love can't be forced, and it can't be changed by a few words in youth..."
Yu Wenjun gritted her teeth and said, "I admit that I liked him very much before. After all, he had good grades and was tall at that time. But I knew it after being disappointed again and again. I couldn't see any hope. Besides, people grow up. Through this period of contact, I feel that you are mature and powerful. I am very touched that you protect me like this, so."
So she has actually changed her mind, or should we say that she has realized that the affection she felt when she was young was not real, and that her feelings for him were real?
Lu Qi heard the subtext and his eyes lit up. He believed what Yu Wenjun said. Who hasn't had an ignorant love in their youth? One can fall in love with someone with just one look without saying a word.
But how can such feelings compare to real feelings?
Yu Wenjun was too shy to say it, but Lu Qi understood. He was loved by such a young girl because of his extraordinary strength and maturity. Lu Qi was instantly filled with pride, and infinite courage and determination rose in his heart. "I know what you mean, and I know what to do."
Men are the easiest to be soft-hearted, but they are also the fastest to change their hearts and become heartless.
Back then, Lu Qi was willing to die with Zhuo Yao despite the opposition from Grandpa Lu and others. But many years later, he was also willing to do everything to be with Yu Wenjun for her.
After experiencing Lu Qi's deep affection, Zhuo Yao despairedly experienced Lu Qi's ruthlessness, without the slightest compromise or emotion.
This time, even Zhuo Yao's death threat was useless. Lu Qi remained indifferent and even felt that death would not matter. It could also make room for Yu Wenjun. There was no need for a divorce. He just gave up his position directly.
