aned against the backrest, pondering that he was probably either unsatisfied or had been scolded by Bai Xiaoxiao.Thinking of that person, Qiao Xun felt a little choked up.Her palm was held, and beside...Joe gently held onto the car door before slowly letting go.
The atmosphere inside the car is cramped.
Lu Ze came back from his business trip and ran to the Lu residence again. He was actually quite tired, resting one hand on the steering wheel and the other rubbing his temples as he said impatiently, "How much longer do you want to keep this up"
Up until now, he only thought she was playing around.
Joe's heart turned cold. She sat straight, staring ahead, and after a long silence, she whispered, "Lu Ze, I'm serious! I don't want to continue this with you."
Lu Ze suddenly turned his head to look at her.
He was handsome, with sharp and well-defined features. Qiao Xun had once been quite infatuated with his face, but now she felt nothing at all...
Lu Ze's black eyes were fixed on her, and he unbuckled her seat belt with one hand. "Get out of the car!"
With a slight sound, he unlocked the car.
Joe immediately got out of the car and walked towards the villa's entrance hall.... In the dim light, her back was straight as a rod, just as resolute as her decision to divorce him.
Lu Ze took a cigarette and followed them upstairs after getting out of the car.
They left angrily.
That night, Qiao Xuan slept in the guest room. Lu Ze was angry and too lazy to coax her... He changed into his pajamas and lay down, but when he went to sleep, he touched the empty space beside him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Once upon a time, no matter how cold he was, Qiao Xun liked to hug him from behind when they slept......
In the morning, sunlight streams into the bedroom.
Lu Ze felt a stinging pain and shielded his eyes, waking up at the same time.
From downstairs, a faint sound could be heard.
He could hear the maid setting up the dining room. Normally, these things were done by Qiao Xuan and the maids together. His breakfast was also prepared by her alone.
Lu Ze's mood was a little better. He got out of bed and walked into the walk-in closet to change his clothes.
The next second, his eyes widened in astonishment.
Joe's suitcase is missing.
Lu Ze opened the wardrobe, and as expected, she had taken away several of her frequently worn clothes.
He stared silently for a few seconds before closing her wardrobe. As usual, he picked out a business suit and changed into it. After a quick wash, he put on his watch as he went downstairs. He saw the maid and casually asked, "Where's the madam"
The maid said cautiously, "Madam left early with her suitcase. She didn't even call for a driver."
"She's made something of herself!"
Lu Ze ignored him and sat down at the table to eat. It was his usual black coffee with whole-wheat toast.
But his gaze was drawn to a newspaper article.
Everywhere you looked, it was all about him and Bai Xiaoxiao's rumors. The headlines were more eye-catching than the last, each one vying for attention. Lu Ze read for a while, then quietly asked the maid beside him, "Did Madam look at the newspaper before she left"
The maid honestly replied, "Madam left without having breakfast!"
Lu Ze looked at her briefly, then picked up his phone and called Qin's secretary: "Take care of those things in the newspapers!"
They said a few words and were about to hang up.
Lu Ze Xiu's long fingers dug into his tie knot, loosening it slightly. His voice was light, "Also, check for me where Qiao Xun sold the wedding ring. I need to have it by four this afternoon."
The secretary Qin opposite was stunned.
After a long silence, she whispered, "That can't be true! Mrs. Lu loves you so much, how could she possibly sell her wedding ring"
Lu Ze's answer was to hang up the phone.
The phone was thrown onto the dining table. Looking at those news, he had no appetite.
......
Joe went back home, and Shen Qing had just finished making soup and was preparing to send it to the hospital.
When Shen Qing saw Qiao Xun, she was not calm.
She pointed at the suitcase, her tone sour: "Husbands and wives fight all the time, it's normal for a man to cheat occasionally. That Bai Xiaoxiao is so plain-looking, and she has a limp... I heard she's divorced too. Someone like that wouldn't affect your status at all."
"What standing do I have with Lu Ze!"
Qiao Xun chuckled to herself, filling the thermos with pigeon soup: "In a bit, I'll go see Dad at the hospital."
Shen Qing glared at her.
After a while, Shen Qing wiped her hands with a cloth and said angrily, “Your father will probably be furious if he knows you're getting a divorce! Qiao Xun...... Even if we step back and say that you can't live with him, would you be able to live a good life after the divorce With the state of the Qiao family now, what do you have to support yourself”
Joe slowly twisted the thermos.
After tightening it, she lowered her head and softly said: "There's always a way! The money from selling the wedding ring is enough to cover Dad's medical expenses for half a year, and my brother's lawyer fees... I plan to sell this house, and I will also go out to work to support the family."
After finishing, Qiao Xun's eyes were moistened.
This house was left to her by her mother. No matter how difficult things were before, she never moved out.
Shen Qing was stunned.
She didn't persuade him anymore, but she still disapproved in her heart.
Joe settled down, and the two went to the hospital.
After treatment, Qiao Dayun's condition has stabilized, but he is a little downcast. He still worries about the future of his eldest son, Qiao Shiyan.
Joe hasn't mentioned divorce yet.
This afternoon, the attending physician came to rounds.
He Jiatang, a medical doctor, is a renowned neurosurgeon at a young age. He is also handsome, standing tall at 185cm with an elegant and serene temperament.
After checking, he glanced at Qiao Xun: "Let's talk outside."
Joe was stunned.
Immediately, she put down what was in her hands and softly said to Qiao's father: "Dad, I'm going out for a bit."
For a moment, they walked to a quiet hallway.
Seeing her nervousness, He Jidi gave her a reassuring smile.
Subsequently, he lowered his head to review the patient's medical records: "Last night, I discussed with several chief surgeons in the surgery department, and we unanimously recommended that Mr. Qiao undergo personalized rehabilitation treatment afterward, otherwise it would be difficult to recover to his previous state...... It's just that the cost is a bit high, about 150,000 yuan per month."
$150,000 is an astronomical figure for Joe Xun at present.
But she didn't hesitate, and spoke: "We accept treatment."
He Jiatian closed the medical records and watched her quietly.
Actually, they knew each other before, but Qiao Xun forgot.
When Qiao Xun was very young, he lived next door to her. He remembered that every summer evening, the patio outside Qiao Xun's bedroom would light up with little stars. Qiao Xun always sat there eagerly thinking of his mother.
She asked him: "Brother Jidi, will Mom come back"
Je T'aime didn't know, nor could he answer. As he gazed at her now, memories of three years ago flooded back – the news of her marriage upon his return home. He had believed she had found love, but her life hadn't been easy.
Lu Ze was cold and harsh towards her.
Just as He Jiatang was about to speak, a cold voice rang out from across: "Qiao Xun."
Li Ze.
Lu Ze was dressed in a business suit, a dark gray shirt and a black suit... He seemed to have come from the company. As he walked towards this side, the sound of his calfskin shoes on the hallway floor was crisp.
Later, Lu Ze came to them.
He extended his hand, his voice languid with a hint of slowness.
"Greetings, fellow senior disciple! Long time no see!"
He Jiatang looked at the hand in front of him, smiling faintly, and reached out to shake it. "Lu Zong, what a surprise!"
Lu Ze let go and turned to look at Qiao Xun: "Go see Dad"
Two men simmer with unspoken tension.
Jo Xuan didn't realize that it was inappropriate to confront Lu Ze with a sullen face in front of Doctor He, so she nodded: "Doctor He, I'll go first."
He Jiatang smiled faintly.
Joe and Lu Ze walked towards the ward together, neither of them speaking.
Since she decided to divorce him, she no longer acts as she used to, trying hard to please and flatter him.
Near the hospital room door, Lu Ze suddenly grabbed Qiao Xun's slender wrist, trapping her between himself and the wall. His gaze was complicated.
Just now, He Jiutang looked at Qiao Xuan's way, it was a man looking at a woman.
Lu Ze gently stroked Qiao Xun's face, it was fair and delicate, endearing.
His voice was hoarse. "What did you tell him"
Joe tried to struggle free, but Lu Ze exerted a bit more force, and she was pressed back down.
Two bodies pressed close, hardness met softness...message: "Don't you need money Accompany me to an event... how about 200,000"He didn't believe that Joe wouldn't be moved by the number 200,000.But Lu Ze was wrong.After sending the message, he waited...
