Chapter 981: Loneliness Like the Snow
At that point, Zhou Weiqi sighed. “I don’t know why you and Big and Brother are getting a divorce, but I feel quite sad about it. For both of you, and also for you. Ruoran, you are a woman; you don’t have to pretend to be strong. If you have any difficulties, remember to look for us. You will be abroad, so it will not be easy. You’d better come back. At least we’ll be here to help you.”
“You finally sound like a human.” Luo Ruoran patted Zhou Weiqi’s shoulder with a satisfied expression. “Don’t worry; don’t you know my temper by now? I’ve suffered enough at the hands of others since I was young.”
There was only one person who could make Luo Ruoran suffer so, but she had already tried to let it go.
That was also the reason she chose to leave the country. She wanted to leave Jindo City by herself and venture into the outside world. One would not have time to let their imaginations run wild when one was busy.
The atmosphere during the meal was too depressing. After the announcement about the divorce, the group chatted for a while; they did not say anything more about the divorce.
After all, it was not an interesting topic. They were sensible enough not to ask Liang Yueze and Luo Ruoran about the reason for their divorce.
They had gotten married very suddenly, but no one expected their divorce to be even more abrupt.
After dinner, Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi returned to Jin city in Zhou Weiqi’s car. Zhou Weiqi sighed countless times along the way. He felt lonely when his two pa.s.sengers did not reply to him.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, can you say something?” Zhou Weiqi said, “I’ll go to your place this New Year. I have nowhere to go anyway. I can stay in your study.”
“Grandma Liang and Auntie Liang have already said that you can go to the Liang family this year,” Lu Xingzhi replied without raising his head. “Aunt Liang called me specifically and said that I’m not allowed to s.n.a.t.c.h her son from her.”
Then, Lu Xingzhi ignored Zhou Weiqi. He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yao, who leaned against his body; she looked drowsy. He knew that she had not had a good rest after their flight back to Jindo City the previous night. He said in a low voice, “You can sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up when we’re there.”
Zhou Weiqi looked at Jiang Yao in the back seat with a bitter expression. Coincidentally, he saw her raise her head and kiss his brother’s face. Then, she acknowledged him. At that moment, the chauffeur, Zhou Weiqi, felt that his life was as lonely as the snow.
“Forget it. I’ll go to Jindo City; Zhan Qiuhe is there. Then, I’ll go to the Zhan family’s residence on the second day of the New Year.” Zhou Weiqi felt provoked by the two people in his backseat. “I also want to experience the life of someone’s son-in-law in advance.”
After that, Zhou Weiqi nagged about something that Jiang Yao did not know as she leaned on Lu Xingzhi’s body and fell asleep. Eventually, her husband woke her; they were already at the barracks.
Zhou Weiqi was in a hurry to get to work, so he did not go in with them. Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi got out of the car and watched the man leave. Then, they carried their luggage and went inside. Coincidentally, they met Colonel Lin and his wife.
They had not seen them for two months; Colonel Lin could already walk quite nimbly. The husband-and-wife pair did not see Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi, who could not hear what Mrs Lin said before she slapped Colonel Lin as the man chuckled and ran away. One would not believe that the man had suffered a severe injury from the way he ran.
