Chapter 243 I've Lost All My Reputation

The call was from Jiang Qin.

Huo Sili swiped the phone to answer it, but Jiang Qin on the other end did not speak immediately.

Huo Sili waited patiently. After about two seconds, Jiang Qin's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Horsley, let's talk."

Her voice was cold, or rather, more than cold, it was serious.

Huo Sili couldn't guess what Jiang Qin wanted to talk to him about, but when he heard the tone, the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

With this tone of voice, it was probably not what he wanted to hear at the moment.

But even if it wasn't what he wanted to hear, just hearing her voice at this moment made Horsley feel at ease.

He laughed at himself and replied in a gentle tone: "Well, okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Over here, in the villa, Jiang Qin, who had just finished bathing Tiantian and coaxed her daughter to sleep, was standing on the balcony outside the bedroom.

Song Xinye also sleeps on this floor, and she doesn't want more people to know about this.

So I didn't go to the indoor corridor, but went directly to the balcony in the opposite direction of the corridor.

The balcony is open-air, which reduces its presence. The lights are not on, so it is pitch black and the wind makes it a little chilly.

Jiang Qin pulled her coat together and went straight to the point, telling Huo Sili that Yuan Lianqing had come to Song Xinye's villa this afternoon and asked her if she lived there.

Then he said: "I hope you can handle this matter."

But two seconds passed after she finished speaking, and there was no sound from Horsley.

Jiang Qin frowned slightly, took out her phone in the dark and saw that the call was connected and had not been hung up.

She said in a deep voice, "Horsley? Are you listening?"

Huo Sili was listening, but he was not only listening to what Jiang Qin said, he was also trying to figure out where Jiang Qin was at the moment.

He heard the whistling sound of the wind coming from her side.

It sounded like we were outside.

In Kyoto these past two days, the temperature was only one or two degrees, or even zero degrees, at night.

Huo Sili frowned, and almost subconsciously skipped over Jiang Qin's question and asked her.

"Where are you?"

"What?" Jiang Qin was puzzled and frowned even deeper.

She really had no patience for him now.

He really showed his impatience directly, "I'm talking to you, Huo Sili, did you hear what I just said? Take care of your mother, you and I are divorced, and I don't want her to disturb my life anymore."

Jiang Qin felt that what she said was very direct.

Anyone who hears this, no matter how shameless, should be able to understand her attitude.

However, she soon discovered that she had overestimated Horsley.

But now when Jiang Qin said she had lost her patience, she really did.

Hearing that Horsley's answer was irrelevant, he said, "It's very cold outside now. Don't catch a cold. Come back inside and we'll talk, okay?"

Jiang Qin hung up the phone speechlessly.

Afraid that this person would call again, he muted his phone.

Huo Sili has been told what Yuan Lianqing did.

Although I don’t know whether the relationship between mother and son has improved in these three years.

However, thinking about the fact that Huo Sili and Yuan Lianqing had a bad relationship three years ago, Jiang Qin felt that this phone call should still have some effect.

Thinking that Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan's wedding was over, she would go to the old house to visit the old lady, and then it was almost time for her to pack up and return to her residence abroad.

I no longer distract myself from this matter.

As for what Huo Sili had just said that was irrelevant to the question, he didn't take it to heart.

Gently open the balcony door, then gently close it and lock it.

Jiang Qin entered the bedroom where she lived with Tiantian.

The bedroom was large, with a warm orange bedside lamp that helped with sleep turned on, and a footboard lamp on. Jiang Qin approached and saw her daughter sleeping soundly on the bed, her pink lips slightly raised.

After taking a shower in the bathroom and quickly tidying up, Jiang Qin felt sleepy, so she threw back the quilt and lay down.

Close your eyes.

A few seconds later, Tiantian next to her opened her eyes and looked at the turned-off mobile phone that Jiang Qin had placed on the bedside table.

He moved around on the bed and hugged Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin was startled when her daughter suddenly hugged her. She opened her eyes and looked into her arms.

I saw Tiantian's eyes closed again. It seemed like it was a habitual reaction and not that she was not asleep.

Without thinking too much, Jiang Qin gently hugged her daughter and covered the corner of the quilt on Tiantian's side.

…

The next day, a piece of good news came when Jiang Qintiantian, Song Xinye and others were having breakfast.

Su Lejia informed me via video call.

"Baby, ahhhh, finally, finally, I booked a suitable hotel! Oh my God, I thought this hotel was no longer available, but I didn't expect that the family just changed the date..."

Su Lejia was visibly excited and happy.

Jiang Qin didn't like to talk while eating, but best friends always have privileges, so she listened patiently. Tiantian next to her also greeted Su Lejia, "Auntie~"

"Hey!" Su Lejia responded sweetly.

Then, he started chatting with Jiang Qin again.

They chatted for a long time, until Jiang Qin finished her breakfast, and Su Lejia finally finished speaking.

Then he concluded, "That's it. Really. I don't know if God saw that my relationship with Zhou Zhou was going so smoothly that he had to do this to us at this critical moment."

"But fortunately, there was no danger. Fortunately, the couple changed the time, otherwise they would not be able to book that hotel for that time."

Just now Su Lejia expressed his feelings for a long time and in great detail, but it is actually simple to summarize it.

Zhou Junxuan and I looked for many places but were not satisfied with any of them. So we went looking again last night and found one that was suitable in all aspects. However, when we asked, the hotel staff said that someone had just booked a room for the same time.

Therefore, if they want to place an order, it can only be because the couple across the street just cancels.

But as with weddings, once a date is set it usually won't be changed, so both of them were very disappointed and felt that there was a high probability that it would not happen.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, the hotel staff called and said that the couple wanted to cancel their reservation due to personal reasons and asked them if they were willing to keep it.

Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan were very satisfied with the hotel, so they were naturally willing to go there immediately.

Su Lejia, who called via video at this moment, had just signed a reservation agreement with Zhou Junxuan, and the two were driving back home.

In any case, this is a lucky and happy thing for my best friend.

It means that their wedding can be held as scheduled.

Jiang Qin was naturally happy for Su Lejia. "Not bad, that's great. Then we'll just have to wait for the wedding. When you need the wedding room decorated, tell me. I'm free recently."

Both Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan's families pay more attention to ceremonies. Su Lejia is actually a romantic person in life. She has been busy with the wedding for a long time. Jiang Qin has seen the plan she made.

She drew the blueprints for the interior layout of the bridal chamber herself.

When talking about this, Su Lejia was very sweet. She smiled and said yes, and made an appointment with Jiang Qin.

We chatted for a while before the call ended.

When Jiang Qin put down her phone, she noticed that Tiantian seemed to have something to say, and naturally looked at her daughter.

"What's wrong, Tiantian? Do you want to say something to mom?"

Tiantian blinked, paused for a moment, and then pointed at the food in the small steamer in front of her.

"Well, I just want to ask Mommy, what is this dumpling-like thing called, but not quite like a dumpling, so delicious and cute?"

Jiang Qin looked over and saw that it was Cantonese-style crystal shrimp dumplings, but the skillful Aunt Zhou had made them into a cute rabbit shape. It looked different from the shrimp dumplings she had eaten in teahouses before.

“It’s called shrimp dumplings.”

Tiantian nodded, "Oh."

Jiang Qin looked at Tiantian again. Somehow, she felt that Tiantian didn't want to ask her this question just now.

But now I saw that my daughter was really picking up some shrimp dumplings to eat by herself, and I wasn’t sure if it was my illusion, so I didn’t say much for the time being.

This side, the Huo family’s old house, the third floor of the main building.

In the large flat-floor restaurant, the old lady and the old man were having dinner together.

The old couple gets along with each other in a plain and simple way, but it makes everyone around them feel a kind of silent sweetness.

Especially at this moment, under the warm sunlight.

The two elderly people sat next to each other, and old man Huo Wu was picking up breakfast for the old lady.

They were not picked randomly, but were all the ones the old lady liked.

A passionate and heart-wrenching love is beautiful, but it is often difficult for two people like this to support each other and live happily together for the rest of their lives.

For servants like them who have been staying in wealthy families and serving wealthy people for many years, the relationship between the old lady and the old man is what they feel is the most rare and touching.

Sister Wu and others looked at this and couldn't help but feel comfortable and warm in their hearts.

However, at this moment, music started playing inside the elevator.

Sister Wu's eyelids jumped and she looked towards the elevator entrance. Sure enough, two seconds later, she heard the sound of the elevator door opening.

Because Jiang Qin just faked her death three years ago, the second young master had a mental breakdown and often came to the third floor to see the old lady.

The old lady found him annoying, so she later sent someone to make an extra-long sliding curtain at the elevator entrance and the area leading to the large flat.

In this way, people who want to enter the large flat have to take the time to push or lift the curtain before they can come in, which will delay some time. During this time, if Qiu Huilan does not want to see Huo Sili, she will just go into the room and close the door to refuse visitors.

Qiu Huilan and Huo Wu undoubtedly heard the elevator bell at this moment.

The two of them stopped eating immediately.

Sister Wu asked, "Old lady, old man, do you need me to stop it?"

Before Qiu Huilan could say anything, the curtain was pushed open.

A person walked in.

When she saw the person coming, Qiu Huilan was about to frown.

Suddenly, another person came in. It was the former's husband, the old lady's son, Huo Chengzheng.

Qiu Huilan frowned and was about to speak, but she didn't expect there was someone behind her.

This time, it was Horsley.

Huo Wu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly looked grim.

In the past, no one knew what Huo Sili did or said to his wife, but since he found out, Huo Sili's behavior made Huo Wu feel that he had lost all his face as the male elder of the Huo family.

Huo Chengzheng glanced at his wife who came in first but was unwilling to step forward, and then looked at his son who came in last.

He smiled awkwardly at the old couple, "Mom, Dad."

"Siri, there's something..."

"He himself has no mouth?"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Qiu Huilan's cold voice. The old lady glanced at Huo Sili with obvious disappointment in her eyes.

But his tone was even calmer: "If there is anything, let him speak for himself."
