Lu Weixi spoke softly, but her quiet words instantly drew the attention of everyone at the table.

The first to look up was Qin Zhigu, followed closely by Cai Yiren sitting next to him.

Qin Zhiyou, who was next to him, suddenly turned around, looking at her in surprise. He didn’t know what she meant by those words, nor how she intended to handle it.

But Lu Weixi’s face was calm, “This is between my husband and me, whether we mind or not, it’s nobody else’s business. We deal with our affairs on our own.”

Those words left the onlooking Qin family speechless.

As for the words of Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei, to say that she didn’t take them to heart would be a lie. No woman can endure such humiliation, even without feelings involved, it was still a blow to her face. In their circle, it is face and wealth that matter the most, rather than true love.

They lost face because of Qin Zhiyou, henceforth, Qin Zhiyou wouldn’t show them any respect. Those who should be pitied are these people indeed.

Besides, Qin Zhiyou just promised her, he would help her deal with Bai Changyou, and also take care of her mother. It’s tit for tat, she couldn’t use Qin Zhiyou’s help only when in need and retreat when he expected her to stand with him.

Although, under the current circumstances, whether she stands with him or retreats, having to deal with her husband’s romantic scandal as a wife would never be a pleasant task.

After a while, it was Cai Yiren, who had been silent all along, that finally couldn’t help but speak, “This really doesn’t seem like you…”

Qin Zhigu, who sat next to her, gave a soft sigh, looking at her with intense gaze.

Indeed, Lu Weixi of the past detested evil and injustice. She cut off contact with her father because he cheated, she even changed her last name. After her own betrayal, she immediately turned to Qin Zhiyou without a pause in between.

If he hadn’t heard it himself, it would be hard to imagine that Lu Weixi could be so unfazed by Qin Zhiyou’s extramarital affair, even defending him!

He looked across at her. Her style of dress had changed, her personality had changed, and now even her once staunch stance on loyalty seemed to have changed.

Lu Weixi’s face was still the same, prettier than before. But he felt like the person in front of him is a stranger; the Lu Weixi from five years ago and the Lu Weixi now seemed to be two completely different people.

Lu Weixi slowly turned her head, looking calmly at Cai Yiren and Qin Zhigu.

Honestly, from five years ago when she found out Cai Yiren’s mother was the mistress that broke up her own family, and then Cai Yiren got together with Qin Zhigu, she absolutely despised the both of them.

She was angry and resentful. She didn’t understand why men could change so easily, nor why some women could be so shameless, knowing the man was taken but still pursuing him. She couldn’t understand why men chose mistresses over their wives, despite knowing that the mistresses were no match for their wives, yet they couldn’t resist the seduction.

But her fierce resistance and her mother’s angry divorce resulted in the mistress and vile man living a life of luxury overseas, her mother on her sickbed, and her confused self marrying a man whom she didn’t love, and who didn’t love her, and they had been married for so many years.

She calmly replied, “People change. Today you might fancy pineapple, tomorrow you might fancy something else..”
