Chapter 76: Multiple Choice (4)

On the day after her parents' divorce, she ran to the police station and requested that her last name be changed from Bai to Lu. Not long after, her mother was diagnosed with liver cancer during a routine check-up.

It was only later that she learned her mother may have noticed her father's odd behavior for some time but had kept it from her. Her mother didn't know that the other woman was her old friend, but she had a vague feeling about her existence. The most foolish thing her mother had done was to confide in that friend about her suspicions of her father's infidelity and, as a result, for the following years, although her mother had doubts, her father and the other woman had prepared defenses. The stress accumulated over time eventually led to her mother's liver cancer diagnosis.

Then, at that stage, Qin Zhigu broke up with her.

Because of that former best friend.
