Chapter 105 Compromise
In the evening, Xu Qingsui's cell phone rang. She took a look and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
Recently her news was posted online, and many netizens doxed her. Naturally, her phone number was leaked by someone, and many strangers called to curse her.
So when she saw this unfamiliar number, she naturally chose to hang up.
But the person on the other end of the phone was very persistent and called several times in a row. Xu Qingsui thought it might be something related to work, so she finally chose to answer the call.
"Xu Qingsui, what do you mean by spreading our affairs on the Internet and making a big fuss about it?" The moment the call was connected, Lu Jingyu's angry roar came from the other end.
Xu Qingsui frowned. She had already blocked Lu Jingyu's number and Gu Rong's number. She didn't expect that he would find another number to contact her.
"Don't think about hanging up on me. If you still want the relics left by your grandparents, you'd better be obedient." As if he had anticipated Xu Qingsui's next move, Lu Jingyu said quickly.
Every time, he used this trick to threaten Xu Qingsui, and it always worked.
"You didn't call me just to question me, did you?" Xu Qingsui asked coldly.
She knew Lu Jingyu too well, and she was afraid that he was planning some stupid move for her.
As expected, Lu Jingyu snorted coldly and said in a mocking tone: "Last time at Grandpa's birthday party, you pissed him off and sent him to the hospital, and then you walked away as if nothing had happened. This time you posted the photos of us together on the Internet. Don't you look down on our Lu family? Why do you still want to get involved? Xu Qingsui, I really underestimated you. Why, after being dumped, do you remember the benefits my Lu family gave you?"
Xu Qingsui felt nauseous and said, "I don't know who posted that photo online, but it was definitely not me. Master Lu, you misunderstood. I, Xu Qingsui, will go out to beg for food in my life and will never have anything to do with your Lu family again!"
"You!" Lu Jingyu was almost mad. "Xu Qingsui, let me tell you, don't be complacent. Your grandparents' belongings are still in the custody of our Lu family. You say you don't want to be involved, so what?"
This is Xu Qingsui's weak point. She has not yet obtained substantial evidence, and currently cannot get her grandparents' belongings back through legal means.
Therefore, she had to be controlled by others.
"What do you want?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Seeing Xu Qingsui compromise, Lu Jingyu showed a smug smile: "In fact, I still had feelings for you before. If you hadn't refused to let me touch you, I wouldn't have gone out to find another woman. In fact, I thought about it and realized that there is no big hatred between us. It's better to part ways in peace. After all, our two families are old friends. There is no need for us to become enemies in this generation. Don't you think so?"
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Based on Xu Qingsui's understanding of Lu Jingyu, he has never been so reasonable.
Xu Qingsui wanted to see what tricks he was going to play, so he said obediently: "It's great that Master Lu thinks so, so are you willing to return the relics on your own initiative?"
"It's hard to explain the matter of returning the relics over the phone, so how about this, we meet up, have a meal together, and put this matter to rest once and for all? What do you think?"
It’s another Hongmen Banquet.
After suffering so many losses, Xu Qingsui had long seen through the Lu family.
Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, I still go there.
She had to settle things with the Lu family quickly, so even though she knew that it was Lu Jingyu who set her up, she still decided to take the risk and go to the meeting.
"Okay, time and place, you decide."
"Tomorrow night, on the second floor of the InterContinental Hotel, come alone, I'll wait for you." Lu Jingyu hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
That night, Xu Qingsui couldn't sleep. She looked at the moon outside the window that was getting rounder and rounder, and wondered whether she should tell Huo Xilin about this matter.
Now it seems that he is the only person she can rely on.
But after what happened with Yan Xisui, she had already distanced herself from him in her heart. She told herself that she should be independent in the future and be the Xu Qingsui she used to be, and not subconsciously want to rely on her every time she encountered problems.
He could help her temporarily, but he was destined not to be able to help her for a lifetime. Most of the time, she still had to rely on herself.
Xu Qingsui secretly made up his mind and didn't talk about anything except work when he was at work.
Fortunately, the two of them are now living separately. Huo Xilin either lives in Bishui Hua Ting or in the company, and Xu Qingsui lives in the small courtyard, so even if Xu Qingsui goes to meet Lu Jingyu, Huo Xilin will not know.
When it was time to get off work, Xu Qingsui did not work overtime as usual, but packed up his things early. When the time came, he greeted Huo Xilin: "Mr. Huo, I'm off work first."
In the past two days, Xu Qingsui had hardly talked to him except about work. Huo Xilin was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more unhappy when he saw her getting off the early shift.
Asked: "You get off work so early, do you have anything to do when you go back?"
"Boss Huo, I have completed my work today. Can I leave the early shift?" Xu Qingsui asked back, "You said before that overtime is entirely voluntary. I don't want to work overtime today. Is that not okay?"
Huo Xilin was speechless. He didn't really want Xu Qingsui to work overtime. He just wanted her to stay in the office, stay by his side, and spend more time with him.
He didn't believe that Xu Qingsui, who was always smart, would not see through his little trick.
Or maybe she got off work early just to avoid him.
Huo Xilin knew that Xu Qingsui was still resentful about Yan Xisui's matter, so he tried his best to go along with her these days and let her do whatever she wanted.
Originally he didn't agree to live separately, but Xu Qingsui insisted, and he wanted to make her happier, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, after several days, Xu Qingsui had not calmed down at all, but became more and more distant from him.
This feeling made Huo Xilin, who was used to being in power, feel uncomfortable.
Huo Xilin sighed, and his tone softened unconsciously: "When will we return to Bishui Hua Ting, or when can I go to the courtyard?"
He was always reluctant to lose his temper with Xu Qingsui.
Perhaps Xu Qingsui is the only person in the world who has seen Huo Xilin so humble.
For a moment, she felt mixed emotions.
She didn't know what to do in the future for the time being. If Yan Xisui's problem was not resolved, she would be miserable if she got close to Huo Xilin, but she would be far away from happiness if she stayed away from him.
Perhaps she should have known from the beginning that a man like Huo Xilin could not have only her in his heart, but at that time she was so eager to be happy that she ignored all the hidden dangers.
