In the current situation, Chu Qi is likely to be in deep trouble. I don't even need to intervene; she will inevitably fall into Lu Mingyuan's hands. Sure enough, it wasn't long before Chu Qi encountered difficulties. She had a conflict with Lu Mingyuan over money. Lu Mingyuan spent extravagantly, and he had no real source of income. Chu Qi was already struggling to support him.
With no other options, she turned to my parents for help.
“Dad, Mom.”
Chu Qi knelt on the ground, pleading desperately. “I’m in trouble; please help me.”
“Please, I beg you, help me.”
My mother shook her head. “Xiao Qi, you’ve divorced Jiang Wei.”
“Our relationship is over.”
“It’s not appropriate for you to ask us for help again.”
Chu Qi refused to give up. “Mom, Jiang Wei and I will remarry.”
“Just help me this once, just once, okay?”
My father grew angry. “Chu Qi, we’ve heard about your situation with that Lu Mingyuan.”
“Don’t think we’re confused; we know everything.”
“Leave now and don’t come back.”
Chu Qi left in a state of despair.
When she came to find me, I had just returned from the Rehabilitation Center.
“Jiang Wei, please help me, okay?”
“You're the only one who can help me now.”
I looked at her coldly. “Chu Qi, this is your own doing.”
“It has nothing to do with me.”
“But don’t you love me? If you love me so much, just help me one more time, just once, please?”
“When have I ever loved you?”
I couldn’t help but retort. “I only feel pity for you.”
“If you insist on saying that I loved you, then let me tell you…”
"In my past life, when you left me to save Lu Mingyuan, my love for you had already vanished."
"Chu Qi, you have nothing to do with me now."
"Please, don't bother me anymore, alright?"
I spoke firmly.
Chu Qi was taken aback.
Her expression grew increasingly grim.
Just then, Lu Mingyuan burst in.
He grabbed Chu Qi and shouted angrily, "Chu Qi, what are you doing crying at your ex-husband's place?"
I looked coldly at Lu Mingyuan. "I know you two are married; there's no need for the act."
"Just leave; don't come to bother me again."
Lu Mingyuan paused slightly. "You know?"
I smiled lightly. "You disguised it so well, but I still figured it out; you're faking your illness."
"Lu Mingyuan, don't disturb me again."
"Otherwise, I'll expose your secret to everyone."
Lu Mingyuan's face turned pale instantly.
He stared at me for a while before taking Chu Qi and leaving.
As the door closed, I heard Lu Mingyuan cursing under his breath.
"This bastard actually dared to threaten me."
"He knows my secret; I can't let him go!"
Listening to Lu Mingyuan's voice made me furrow my brows.
A true patient with depression wouldn't exhibit such emotions and thoughts.
Lu Mingyuan seemed more like someone with mania.
In her past life, Chu Qi sacrificed so much for Lu Mingyuan.
If she found out that Lu Mingyuan had been deceiving her all along, I wondered how she would feel.
Knowing Chu Qi's personality, she wouldn't just swallow her anger.
Then there would be quite a show to watch.
Wu Yue invited me to dinner.
She was very busy and often worked late into the night.
She didn't want to eat alone.
I agreed.
After all, she had saved my life.
It was just a meal; there was no reason to decline.
"Jiang Wei, how have you been lately?"
Wu Yue handed me a business card. "I think you need to see a psychologist."
I took the card, slightly taken aback. "Why?"
"You've faced life and death; it might leave psychological scars."
Wu Yue said it very seriously. "You should really consider it."
"This doctor is one of the best in the country; very capable."
Her words struck a chord with me.
Indeed, I had faced life and death—didn't that warrant some treatment?
"Thank you."
I sincerely expressed my gratitude. "Wu Yue, you saved my life, and I don't even know how to repay you."
"No need to be polite."
Wu Yue smiled and said, "I am your benefactor; I will always keep an eye on you."
The meal was quite enjoyable.
Wu Yue accompanied me home, and as we stood downstairs, we spotted Chu Qi.
Chu Qi had lost a lot of weight; her eyes were dark, resembling a panda's.
She stood under the streetlight, looking at me from a distance.
It seemed she had something to say.
Wu Yue glanced at me. "You go ahead; I'll wait for you."
I nodded and walked towards Chu Qi.
