Chapter 5: She's Stupid

Chapter 5: She's Stupid

"Whether she's sick or not, you all know best. Whether she leaves or stays, with the old man here, and also..." His voice was bland, indiscernible in emotion, yet it sent a chill down the maid's spine.

"Remember your place, a dog raised by Lu Qin. Do you have the qualifications to speak to me?"

Yan Huan slightly lowered her eyelashes, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly. Her skin was so thin that her veins bulged, and on the back of her hand, there were bruises left from injections.

She opened the door, Lu Yi placed the suitcase on the ground then turned and left. His steps did not pause for a moment, nor did he offer her another word. Yan Huan remembered what Lu Yi had once said to her, that he pitied her.

She leaned her back against the door, and faintly, she heard Lu Yi's voice again.

"Don't explain to me, I don't want to hear it. You and her affair, you know them well. Lu Qin, the marriage was your own choice. Don't use 'she's crazy' as an excuse for everything. Too many such excuses become disgusting. Do you really think the Lu family are fools?"

Perhaps it was Lu Yi's warning that worked, the maid no longer locked her up, possibly because Lu Qin wanted her to leave on her own, as no one in the house prepared meals for her anymore. Thirsty, she drank water from the restroom; hungry... she didn't know yet.

At night, she seemed to sleep restlessly, always having nightmares. Sleeping brought nightmares, waking brought pain. She didn't know whether to sleep or wake, or perhaps choose death.

She sat up, hugged her abdomen, and walked bent over into the restroom, scooping up some water to drink. There seemed to be a sound of a door opening outside, she quickly turned off the light and curled up in the restroom.

The door opened, and without turning on the light, in the darkness of the room, she could clearly hear footsteps, right at the door, but they did not walk in.

"How do you plan to deal with this woman? I've warned you before, don't let you marry this actress. They say actresses are heartless, whores are thoughtless. Now look, this kind of woman clings to you even in death."

"Mom, you know," Lu Qin heard his mother say this, unsure if it was a complaint or irritation, "Our position in the Lu family is already awkward. Becoming a film emperor was the only thing I could do, the only chance to turn over a new leaf. Although I am a Lu, it's not easy to get the Lu family's support. If not for this stupid woman, how could I have achieved such success?"

"She is indeed stupid," the woman scoffed, "But if she wasn't stupid, how could she have used money to help you? What about now? You've just saved Su Mo Ran's life. The Su family remembers your favor, and Su Mo Ran is now completely devoted to you. As long as we are connected with the Su family, our time will come. But what if she finds out you're already married?"

"Who says I'm married?" Lu Qin suddenly scoffed, "I don't acknowledge it, who dares to point at my nose and say I am. It's just a matter of a divorce certificate, not hard for me."

"What do we do now?" Lu Qin's mother did not look happy, "That woman is still Mrs. Lu."

"It's simple, Mom, listen to me," Lu Qin approached his mother, then closed the door behind him. Their voices could no longer be heard outside, but they didn't know that the person they thought was asleep was wide awake, listening to their conversation word for word.

The door rang again, and the mother and son left.

Yan Huan walked out of the restroom. At this moment, her clothes were almost soaked, but her face was heavier and more wilted than ever.
