Hearing the sarcasm in An Xia's tone, Lu Beichuan frowned, his deep eyes filled with complicated thoughts.

Knowing that An Xia was in a bad mood, Lu Beichuan took the initiative to explain.

"I did not mean that."

An Xia turned her head away. She really didn't want to see his face that always pretended to be cold and indifferent.

"It doesn't matter whether that's what you mean or not. I'll find a new hospital for my dad, and I don't need you to get involved anymore."

"Find a new hospital?" Lu Beichuan smiled sarcastically when he heard this: "Are you looking for a new hospital or a new excuse to be with your lover outside?"

"What do you mean?" An Xia was annoyed.

It was obvious that he was the one who did wrong, but now he looked like he had suffered a lot of grievances and was full of resentment. What was the point of that?

"Don't you know what I mean?" Lu Beichuan's voice was cold and icy. "You were preparing for Country Y's visa, and right after that, Shen Huaian signed his resignation letter and prepared to go to Country Y's medical laboratory for further studies. Wasn't this something you two had discussed?"

An Xia's eyes trembled.

Shen Huaian is actually preparing to resign?

I also want to go to Country Y for further studies.

"Don't tell me you don't know about this." Lu Beichuan said fiercely in a low voice. His eyes, burning with anger, stared straight at An Xia, not missing any slight change in her expression.

An Xia frowned and instinctively wanted to deny it, but before she did, she clearly thought of another problem.

"How did you know I was applying for a visa to Country Y?"

An Xia asked back.

There was a hint of evasion in Lu Beichuan's eyes.

Thinking of that night when he suddenly appeared in her bedroom and stood in front of her desk.

"You were snooping in my drawers!"

"We are husband and wife, shouldn't I know your whereabouts?" Lu Beichuan replied righteously.

"Really?" An Xia found his sophistry ridiculous: "Do you really treat me as your wife?"

"If you really treated me as your wife, you wouldn't have wasted my time all these years, leaving me to guard this empty room and letting your mother trample on me and humiliate me at will."

"I won't just keep a nameless and insignificant woman by your side who needs your constant care and responsibility."

"My whereabouts should be disclosed to you, but when have you ever disclosed your whereabouts to me?"

"Am I your wife or am I just a parrot you keep for fun?"

An Xia complained hysterically. Her red eyes were filled with warm and wet feelings, but she stubbornly kept it to herself, not wanting to shed a single drop.

Years of pent-up grievances were released at this moment.

What erupted was not hatred, but the injustice that had accumulated over the years.

Lu Beichuan looked at her, his dark eyes filled with unfathomable emotions.

An Xia raised her hand and wiped her eyes, not continuing this boring argument.

"You should find a suitable teacher for Jingyang. I will tell grandma that I don't have the energy to take care of Jingyang now and send him back first." An Xia lowered her voice.

Although they were reluctant, things had developed to this point and it was no longer appropriate to let Jing Yang stay here and force them to pretend to be a loving couple.

The relationship has already been torn apart.

Continuing to pretend will only make both of us physically and mentally exhausted.

"I'm already looking at houses and I'll be moving out in a few days."

Lu Beichuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

A panic that I had never experienced before swept through my heart.

The quicksand in his palm was flowing more and more, and he knew that the tighter he held on, the less he could hold it. But at the moment when he clearly felt the quicksand flowing away, he always couldn't help tightening his grip.

Emotional impulses have long surpassed rational analysis.

"What do you mean?" Lu Beichuan's voice trembled slightly: "You don't even plan to care about Jing Yang?"

Then, will he be completely abandoned?

An Xia couldn't bear it either, but it wouldn't be good for Jing Yang to continue to pester him like this. It would come to this sooner or later.

"I can't control it anymore."

-

When they got back to the old house, Lu Zixing had just sat on the sofa and hadn't even warmed up when the old lady came downstairs excitedly without even taking her walking stick. Aunt Liu followed behind him, looking worried all the way.

"How was it? Xia Xia said the dumplings were delicious."

Lu Zixing was forcibly arrested and glanced at the old lady with resentment.

"Grandma, what you want to ask is not whether the dumplings are delicious, but whether the play over there by Lu Beichuan is good or not."

He had been working overtime at the subsidiary for more than a month. He finally got some free time and went back to his old house early to have a good rest. However, he was woken up by the old lady before dawn to do hard labor and run errands.

The old lady patted Lu Zixing on the head righteously.

"That's your brother. How can you call him by his first name?"

Lu Zixing covered his head and said, "If you hit me again, I won't tell you."

The old lady snorted proudly: "Even if you don't say it, I can probably guess that your brother must be very angry."

Lu Zixing snorted coldly and laughed: "I knew you were up to no good. There are so many people in the Lu family, and you asked me to deliver dumplings to them."

On the surface, this is a gift of dumplings, but in reality it is a wake-up call.

An Xia didn't pour a drop of vinegar, but he came back from Tianzhu Garden covered in the smell of vinegar.

The old lady smiled and said, "There are many people in our Lu family, but none of them is as useful as you."

This sounded like a compliment, but Lu Zixing was not happy at all.

"What does my brother mean? He has been ignoring An Xia for the past few years. Now that she is unhappy and wants a divorce, he has become jealous. Isn't this a masochist?"

The old lady glanced away, but she couldn't refute it.

Lu Zixing's words are rough but true.

That makes sense.

but……

"Your brother has had a hard time these years, so it's inevitable that his temper has become a little twisted. But if he can wake up and correct himself, then he can still be saved."

Lu Zixing snorted, "I haven't seen An Xia have an easy life these years. She has a menopausal mother-in-law, a shady father-in-law, a disappeared husband, and a white lotus who comes out to disgust people at every turn."

The old lady's face froze.

The facts were before her, and she really couldn't refute them.

"It's a blessing in disguise that they can finally reconcile."

Thinking of what An Xia had just said to him in the kitchen, Lu Zixing raised his eyebrows slightly.

reconcile?

I’m afraid it’s uncertain.

Lu Zixing didn't say anything. The old lady knew that doing this so early in the morning was a bit cruel to him, so she stroked Lu Zixing's shoulder guiltily.

"Grandma knows you feel wronged, and I'm sorry for you. But there's nothing I can do. An Xia likes your brother. Can you bear to see them both have feelings for each other and miss each other?"

Lu Zixing was slightly stunned.

In fact, when the old lady asked him to run this errand in the morning, Lu Zixing guessed that his thoughts were probably seen through by the old lady.

But he was still a little embarrassed when the truth was revealed so suddenly.

But it’s mostly a pity.

"It would have been great if I had been the first person An Xia met when she moved into the old house."
