Chapter 1194: The Arrival of Mrs. Lu, Mistress Exposed (Part 2)

As the conversation turned back to Lu Changcheng and Xu Qiurong holding hands affectionately, the crowd couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

They were an old married couple, yet still loved each other like before.

The way Lu Changcheng gazed at his wife lovingly made all the women envious.

In today’s society, devoted men are already scarce. Especially a successful man like Lu Changcheng, who remains so devoted to his wife, day in and day out for decades, can truly be considered one in a million.

Although Xu Qiurong was a second wife, she was still married into the Lu Family through proper channels, as the legitimate lady of the house, and quite fortunate as well.

That’s how she ended up with such a good husband.

Mentioning the topic of second wives inevitably led someone to bring up Lu Changcheng’s ex-wife.

The people present only had a vague understanding of the Lu Family’s secret history. Even if they had heard about it, their knowledge was shallow.

Of course, people of Su Lizhen’s age would have at least heard something about it.

So, the attention of those present was diverted from the dress clash incident to the romantic history of Lu Changcheng and Xu Qiurong’s affectionate marriage.

"Lu Changcheng is truly a rare devoted man. His ex-wife died early and missed out on the fortune," someone remarked.

"Indeed, the ex-wife missed out, and now Xu Qiurong is so blissful, with a loving husband, a successful son, and a harmonious family. By the way, do you know how Lu Changcheng’s ex-wife died?"

"I heard that she was ill."

"Yes, I heard the same. She had a terminal illness, something like obesity or whatever, she was very, very fat, and it was untreatable, and then she died."

"No wonder Lu Huashan used to be so fat, probably genetic, poor thing."

"Yes, even more pitiful is Director Lu. In the earlier years, he ran around for Zhong Wanshu and Lu Huashan’s illness, on top of having to take care of the company, such a heavy burden on his shoulders."

A lady married to a doctor shook her head and sighed, as it seemed Lu Hualiang had sought her husband’s medical help, making her one of those in the know.

This piqued everyone’s interest, and they all gathered around.

"Mrs. Li, what’s the matter? Director Lu sought treatment from your husband for his mother and sister?"

Mrs. Li sighed, "Yes, about seven or eight years ago, Director Lu practically traveled the world for his mother and sister’s illness."

"Oh dear, that’s not right."

At this point, someone was puzzled, "Wasn’t it said that the former Madam Lu died and then Lu Changcheng married Xu Qiurong? In that case, wouldn’t that mean the former Madam Lu died twenty-five years ago, and Lu Huayong is already twenty-four years old?"

That’s not right!

"How old is Lu Huashan this year?"

"Twenty-four."

With this statement, the crowd exchanged glances.

Lu Huashan is twenty-four, and Lu Huayong is also twenty-four...

It seemed they smelled the scent of gossip.

This matter hides significant truths.

Moreover, since Lu Hualiang was still running around for doctors for Zhong Wanshu seven or eight years ago, it indicates that she hadn’t died yet.

But by that time, Lu Changcheng and Xu Qiurong were already model couples.

Both children were twenty-four years old, and both women got pregnant at the same time.

None of the people present were fools; this situation spoke volumes. They already had a vague suspicion.

Was it true love or the rise of a mistress? It’s hard to say.

The knowing glances exchanged between them made Xu Qiurong’s nails almost dig into her palm!

The topic had originally shifted from a wardrobe issue, and she was quite happy to hear people praising her good husband, but she never expected the conversation to turn to events from over twenty years ago!
