Chapter 111 Quarrel
After leaving the company, Huo Xilin got in the car and sent Yan Xisui back to her residence.
Yan Xisui asked in confusion: "Brother Lin, aren't we going to have dinner? Why are you at my house?"
She was feeling happy, thinking that Huo Xilin was going to her house, and was thinking about how to keep him here. It would be even better if she could take the opportunity to have something happen between them.
"I still have work to deal with, so you go home first and we can talk about dinner later." Huo Xilin said to her.
Yan Xisui stood there in a daze. Was she being stood up?
"Brother Lin, you still have to eat even if you have to work. It's just right to eat before going back. I will cook for you tonight. You haven't eaten the food I cooked for you in a long time. I know you are not good at cooking, so I took cooking classes for you during these years abroad."
Many relationship mentors have said that if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach.
A man like Huo Xilin is only focused on work and never knows how to cook. Yan Xisui secretly made up her mind to show her good performance and improve her image in his mind.
"No need, you get off first." Facing Yan Xisui's kind invitation, Huo Xilin replied indifferently.
The smile froze on Yan Xisui's face instantly, and her hands hidden behind her back clenched tightly in an instant, with a feeling of humiliation arising spontaneously.
Ever since she returned to China, Huo Xilin coldly rejected her every pursuit. This feeling of being snubbed made Yan Xisui feel very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for Huo Xilin's identity and his worth, Yan Xisui would have been unwilling to serve him long ago.
Yan Xisui secretly swore that when she got everything she wanted, she would definitely get back the insults she had suffered a thousandfold.
Yan Xisui pretended to be well-behaved and said sadly: "Okay, Brother Lin, please drive slower on the road. Thank you for taking me home."
After saying that, she opened the car door and got out. Looking at Huo Xilin's car driving away, Yan Xisui took off her disguise and revealed a ferocious look.
Huo Xilin was driving aimlessly on the road, looking at the still bright sky outside the car window. For the first time, he didn't know where to go.
Going home?
But every night facing the empty room, he was surrounded by loneliness and just wanted to escape.
Although I felt lonely when I was alone before, I didn’t feel scared.
This was the first time he felt a fear of losing something.
Xu Qingsui is simply his destined nemesis!
Huo Xilin turned the steering wheel and drove towards the courtyard in the city center.
After Huo Xilin and the other person left, Xu Qingsui packed up her things in a daze. Now that the project in the south was handed over to Yan Xisui, she was completely free and had no reason to even work overtime.
After getting off work early, Xu Qingsui took the bus to a supermarket near his home to buy some fresh vegetables, preparing to improve the meals for his brother and Lin Wan.
It was still early when she got home and the two had not returned yet.
When Xu Qingsui was halfway through his meal, Xu Di and Lin Wan came back chatting and laughing.
Seeing Xu Qingsui busy in the kitchen, Xu Di ran over excitedly: "Sister, are you off work early today?"
"Well, I made your favorite pumpkin pie, try it." Xu Qingsui handed the fried pumpkin pie to Xu Di.
Brother Xu was not polite and took a piece directly. He ate it while nodding with satisfaction and praised it generously: "Delicious, delicious!"
"Sister, you made such a sumptuous meal tonight, is your brother-in-law coming?"
Brother Xu found it very strange that his brother-in-law had never come to the courtyard since he was injured and hospitalized. Every time he asked about it, his sister told him that his brother-in-law was too busy at work and had been living in the company to work overtime recently.
It's a rare occasion that my sister got off work early today and she even prepared a sumptuous dinner. It couldn't be that she was making it for her younger brother.
To be honest, he really missed his brother-in-law after not seeing him for many days. His brother-in-law was very nice to him.
Xu Qingsui paused while cutting vegetables and said, "Your brother-in-law is working overtime at the company and won't be back."
Brother Xu tilted his head slightly and looked at his sister's expression. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
So he asked, "Sister, did you and your brother-in-law have a fight?"
"No, why do you say that?" Xu Qingsui retorted subconsciously. She was afraid that her brother would see through her, so she quickly smiled in a seemingly relaxed manner, but her dull eyes betrayed her.
"Sister, please stop laughing. It's uglier than crying." Xu Di suddenly felt that the pumpkin pie in his hand no longer smelled good.
"What exactly did you and your brother-in-law quarrel about? Was it because of my schooling?" Xu Di vaguely felt that this matter might be related to him.
If it is really because of myself, then it doesn’t matter if I can’t learn it.
In Xu Di's opinion, nothing is more important than his sister's happiness.
In the past days, his sister sacrificed so much for him. There were many times when he was lying on the hospital bed, thinking that if he hadn't survived, it would have been better. If he died, he would not be a burden to his sister.
But every time he was pushed into the emergency room and watched his sister collapse in pain, he firmly wanted to live. If he died, what would happen to his sister alone in this world?
For Xu Qingsui, Xu Di is her hope in this world, but for Xu Di, his sister is his courage to live.
"Don't think too much, it's none of your business."
"Did you really have a fight with your brother-in-law?" Brother Xu asked anxiously.
Xu Qingsui sighed. He didn't expect that he couldn't bear it so much and actually admitted it in disguise.
"It's about work. We just had a few arguments. It will be fine in a few days. It's normal for couples to quarrel. Don't think too much about it." Xu Qingsui made up an excuse and said perfunctorily.
Xu Qingsui didn't want Xu Di to know the truth. If he knew that his marriage with Huo Xilin was just an agreement from the beginning and not the kind of happiness he saw, he would surely blame himself.
"What are you two talking about?" Just then, Lin Wan walked in happily, but she immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the kitchen was wrong.
She asked in confusion, "Did you two siblings have a fight?"
"It wasn't me and my sister who had a quarrel, it was my sister and brother-in-law who had a quarrel!" said Xu Di sadly.
Seeing that his sister was unhappy, he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.
"No wonder, I saw Huo Xilin's car parked at the corner of the alley outside. In the past, his car was always parked in the yard, but today he parked it in such a secluded place." Lin Wan said with sudden enlightenment.
Xu Qingsui asked in surprise: "Did you see it wrong?"
