Although she had only played secondary or tertiary female roles, and even those were the kind that people hate and despise, characters that were vixen-like villainesses who enjoyed seducing the male lead.
As for Lu Weixi, after leaving the Bai family, she got married to Qin Zhiyou. Even though she carries the title of Mrs. Qin, she still isn’t as successful as Liu Yiyi, a woman who climbed to success through men.
Life can sometimes be so dramatic, no one knows what kind of ridiculous plot twist the writer will come up with next.

After the incident in the company, she felt embarrassed to go back, so she first visited the hospital to pay the medical bills. Her mother was still asleep in the intensive care unit. She stood outside the glass window for a long time without noticing that her primary care physician had come over to her, “Miss Lu.”
“Dr. Zhao.” Lu Weixi turned her head, unable to hide her worry, “My mom, she…”
Dr. Zhao Zihuan, wearing a white lab coat, looked mildly and kindly through his golden-rimmed glasses, “Her mental state isn’t good. She hasn’t regained consciousness today.”
Lu Weixi’s eyes slightly lowered, her long eyelashes trembling. Despite showing no expression, from her constant swallowing you could tell she was distressed.
“I’ve actually wanted to say this,” Zhao Zihuan hesitated for a moment but finally spoke, “You know your mother’s condition. It isn’t easy that she has been able to hold on till now. She herself is suffering, and it is also tough for the family. The expenses are also extremely high. Ordinary people after hearing my advice may choose to give up…”
“I won’t give up. No matter what. Regardless of how hard it is, or how much money it takes.” Lu Weixi shook her head without hesitation, “If we don’t try, how can we know there’s no hope?”
Zhao Zihuan glanced at her then after a long pause nodded, “Okay. As a doctor, we are of course glad that you are willing to spend large sums of money for the treatment. I have nothing to say but to just do my best.”
While returning to the doctor’s office from the intensive care unit, they had to pass through a waiting area. Both of them didn’t pay attention to the television in the waiting area until the news mentioned Qin Zhiyou’s name: “President Qin Zhiyou from Hanhai Group was recently rumored to have an affair with Liu Yiyi, the host from Yan City TV station.”
The camera shifted to Qin Zhiyou. Lu Weixi recognized his outfit as the one he wore home last night. He wore a black suit and his shirt buttons were undone in a way that showed part of his tough chest muscles. Asked about the rumor, his lips curled slightly into a smile, “I don’t mind the rumors, but for host Liu, I believe such unfounded gossips could be deadly?”
When the camera turned to Liu Yiyi, she blushed slightly and firmly denied it, “Mr. Qin and I are just friends.”
Although they both denied any affiliations, Liu Yiyi’s twinkling eyes and Qin Zhiyou’s smirk meant something else.
The interview ended quickly. Lu Weixi didn’t say a word, but the gossipy old ladies waiting nearby began a discussion, “Has Qin Zhiyou changed girlfriends again?”
“What girlfriends, he’s married, this one must be a mistress. How many already? Can his wife really bear it?”
“Heard his wife comes from a family as rich as Hong Kong tycoons, having a wife at home provides stability. No matter how many flags he waves outside, the home flag will never fall.”
Even Zhao Zihuan couldn’t help but frown, “This Qin Zhiyou… Really don’t know what his wife sees in him.”
