He really liked Chapter 371
Huo Huaisui has been back in China for a long time and has seen a lot.
There was a Miss Sun in the circle who was only a year older than her. Several years ago, her parents forced her to marry an old man in his fifties. The old man had a son and a daughter in middle school. Miss Sun became a stepmother as soon as she married him, and she still doesn't have any children of her own. It is said that the old man's son and daughter don't want Miss Sun to have children.
There was another Miss Li who married a wealthy young man of similar age. However, that young man was a womanizer who spent his days indulging in pleasure and neglecting his duties. He was a typical spoiled rich second-generation heir. I heard that he contracted a disease while he was away and infected Miss Li. The couple is now going through a divorce.
There are many, many more such examples.
Of course, there are many wealthy couples who treat each other with respect and courtesy. But what are they really like inside, besides themselves?
Compared to those people, Huo Huaisui really felt quite lucky.
Her mother used to think about getting her married so that someone would keep her in check, but she never thought about arranging a marriage for her. Instead, she chose to introduce potential partners to her through blind dates so that she could choose for herself.
Her father completely listens to her mother, her brother is hoping she won't get married, and even her best friend Niannian almost got married, but she has never had the trouble of being forced into an arranged marriage.
Huo Huaisui asked, "Have you seen that person?"
Zhang Qin: "I've seen the photos."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
So, apart from knowing what the man looked like, she knew nothing else.
However, these days photos can be photoshopped, so what Zhang Qin saw might just be a misleading image...
Huo Huai Sui: "Are you really planning to get married like this?"
Zhang Qin: "My parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words. How could I possibly resist?"
Huo Huai Sui was completely at a loss for words, and could only pray that the man Zhang's parents had found for Zhang Qin was a good man.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Qin opened another bottle of wine and started drinking it down in one gulp.
Huo Huaisui huddled on the sofa and sent a message to Xie Qinglan.
[Sui Sui: Sigh]
[Xie Qinglan: Oh, what? Missing your husband?]
Huo Huaisui ignored his words and slowly typed: [Zhang Qin said she's getting married.]
[Xie Qinglan: Oh. Congratulations.]
[SuiSui: You didn't even ask her who she's going to marry]
[Xie Qinglan: Anyway, I'm not marrying my older brother]
Huo Huai Sui stared at that sentence for a few seconds, then asked, "[Does your older brother have someone he likes?]"
[Xie Qinglan: My older brother probably doesn't even like people.]
[Sui Sui: ...]
Huo Huaisui looked at Zhang Qin with a face full of sympathy, feeling even more sorry for this woman.
Falling for someone you don't even like...
Xie Qinglan sent over a photo of her lunch, which included her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and fish-flavored eggplant.
Huo Huaisui licked his lips.
I want to eat it.
[Xie Qinglan: Have you eaten?]
Huo Huaisui sent him a photo of Zhang Qin drinking alone.
[Xie Qinglan: Send me your location]
Huo Huaisui sent it to him.
Zhang Qin, who was drinking, suddenly looked up and asked, "Are you chatting with your husband?"
Huo Huaisui blinked.
Zhang Qin: "Judging from your expression... it's definitely true."
Huo Huaisui asked, "...What expression should I have?"
Zhang Qin: "The expressions of a couple falling in love."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
"Sigh. I really envy you." Zhang Qin was still holding a wine bottle, half of her body leaning on the marble table. "I really envy you, being able to marry the person you love."
Huo Huai Sui: "Don't drink too much, I can't take you with me."
"It's okay, just call the police to come and take me away."
"..." You really dare to think that way.
About half an hour later, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Zhang Qin looked up at the person and said, "Your husband is here. That's good, someone will be collecting my body soon."
"No time. Climb by yourself." Xie Qinglan walked straight to Huo Huaisui and put the insulated box she was carrying into her arms.
Huo Huaisui: "What?"
Xie Qinglan: "Lunch."
Huo Huai Sui guessed he would come, but she didn't expect him to bring her lunch.
Xie Qinglan sat down next to Huo Huaisui, then looked at Zhang Qin, who was sitting at the marble table drinking wine, and asked, "I heard that Miss Zhang is getting married?"
"Yes," Zhang Qin said. "What, are you going to congratulate me too?"
Thinking of something, Zhang Qin added, "No need for congratulations. Can I borrow your phone for a bit?"
Xie Qinglan didn't ask any questions, and unlocked her phone, tossing it to her.
He had no interest in getting involved in Xie Qingtang's love life, but considering that this woman was his wife's friend, it wouldn't be unreasonable to help her out a little.
Zhang Qin opened her contacts, found a name, and dialed it.
"Hey Xie Qingtang, I'm drunk. For the sake of our past acquaintance, come and help me collect my body... I'm not lying to you, your brother and sister-in-law are here... He won't help me collect it, he told me to crawl back myself... So, are you coming or not!"
The insulated box Xie Qinglan brought was full of Huo Huaisui's favorite dishes.
Huo Huaisui ate his ribs while watching the show.
She knew that Zhang Qin had been blacklisted by Xie Qingtang, but she didn't expect that after so long, Zhang Qin still hadn't been released.
I never expected that Zhang Qin's phone call would drag on for so long.
"Xie Qinglan." Huo Huaisui nudged Xie Qinglan with his elbow.
Xie Qinglan leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Speak your mind, don't poke your man's waist. You can't touch a man's waist."
"..." Huo Huai Sui ignored his vulgar remarks and asked, "Do you think your older brother will come?"
Xie Qinglan said, "Yes."
Huo Huaisui: "Huh?"
Xie Qinglan smiled and said, "My older brother is soft-hearted."
If it were him, he probably would have hung up the phone as soon as he heard Zhang Qin's voice; he wouldn't have talked to her for so long.
Huo Huai Sui glanced at Zhang Qin and said, "I feel like your older brother is pretty hard-hearted."
He blocked Zhang Qin because of a kiss, and Zhang Qin kept bothering him for so long, but he still hasn't added her back. It's clear that Xie Qingtang really doesn't give women any face when it comes to rejecting them.
However, Xie Qingtang cannot be blamed for this.
Not every relationship has a happy ending. Liking someone is a one-sided affair, and whether it's bitter or sweet, you have to bear it all yourself.
Xie Qinglan explained, "If you don't have that kind of intention, it's naturally better to refuse as thoroughly as possible. However, since Miss Zhang has already put it this way, my older brother will probably come over to take a look and make things clear."
Huo Huai Sui asked again, "Is your older brother really planning to never marry?"
She felt that even if Xie Qingtang was willing to remain a bachelor for life, Gu Zhenying would not be.
"Not necessarily," Xie Qinglan said. "When I meet the right person, I'll naturally want to marry them."
His mother also wanted him to find a girlfriend as soon as possible, date for a few years, and then get married. He had plenty of women around him, all kinds of them, so it would be easy for him to have a serious girlfriend, but he didn't settle.
Let alone trying to get along, he has no interest in dating someone who isn't someone he likes.
As it turns out, his judgment was quite good.
He grew to like his "chubby and plain" wife more and more the more he looked at her.
"Thanks." Zhang Qin handed the phone back to Xie Qinglan. "Take your wife home."
Xie Qinglan put away her phone and looked at Huo Huaisui, "Have you finished eating?"
Huo Huaisui understood the meaning behind Zhang Qin's words and immediately closed the thermos box. "Let's go, we'll eat in the car."
