Chapter 117 Seeking Justice
"My mother was busy with business every day, leaving home early and returning late, while my father was idle and went to various exhibitions and auctions all day. After a long time, my father met the woman named Zhou and fell in love with her."
"During that time, the two quarreled every day and even wanted to divorce. Unfortunately, their marriage was a family alliance, and both parents tried to stop them. They couldn't divorce even if they wanted to, not to mention that my mother didn't want to."
"My grandparents took me away from the Huo family's old house out of fear that their quarrels would affect my physical and mental health. After that, my father came home less and less frequently. Suddenly one day, something happened to my father, and he transferred the Huo family's money and gave it to the woman surnamed Zhou. My grandparents fell ill after hearing this, and they both passed away soon after. My mother took me back to the Huo family."
Huo Xilin said it lightly, but only Xu Qingsui understood that the suffering involved could only be experienced by someone like him who had experienced it.
The father who had an affair, the mother who was too strong, the grandparents who both passed away, the Huo family who was in turmoil...
Along the way, how is he going to adapt at such a young age?
Fortunately, he has a strong enough mother who serves as his solid support.
Xu Qingsui actually felt a sense of sympathy.
"Since you know the existence of Zhou, have you never thought about seeking justice?" Xu Qingsui asked curiously.
Huo Xilin must be aware of the grudge between Mr. Zhou and Old Madam Huo, but he has never intervened.
"My mother is a very competitive person. She always wants to appear strong in front of me. To her, the existence of the surname Zhou is a shame in her life. She doesn't want me to know about it, and she doesn't need me to solve it. So I just follow her wishes and pretend that I know nothing and naturally don't care about anything."
"Even if I don't help, she has the ability to solve it herself. It all depends on whether she wants to. If she can't get out of it by herself, it's useless for anyone to help her."
Sure enough, the person who knows Mrs. Huo best is her son.
"Thank you for listening to me tonight. It's getting late, go to bed." Huo Xilin became his omnipotent self again, as if his fragile appearance just now was just an illusion of Xu Qingsui.
He stood too high, and it was lonely up there. He had a lot of worries that he had to deal with by himself and had no one to talk to.
This is enough to show how important Xu Qingsui is in his heart and how much he trusts her.
Xu Qingsui felt mixed emotions. Sometimes she didn't understand what kind of feelings Huo Xilin had for her.
Maybe just like he said, he actually has her in his heart, but he also has Yan Xisui in his heart.
But she was too greedy, she wanted full heart.
Xu Qingsui did not respond. He closed his eyes, greedily enjoying his warmth, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Assistant Xu, this document is signed by you, right?"
The next day at work, as soon as Xu Qingsui arrived at the company, Yan Xisui threw a document on her desk.
Xu Qingsui looked at the familiar handwriting and realized it was indeed her signature, but she was not familiar with the content of the document.
"Assistant Yan, I have never seen this document, so the signature here is not mine." Xu Qingsui denied it immediately.
"But this is clearly your handwriting. Can you deny it?" Yan Xisui said, "You knew something was wrong, so you deliberately shirked responsibility, didn't you?"
"What happened?" Xu Qingsui asked puzzledly.
"As for the southern project you were in charge of, something has happened. You signed this plan, and now the construction party has had a major accident because of this plan. The whole company is in a mess because of this matter. You even had the leisure to ask for leave yesterday. Did you receive a notice in advance and deliberately didn't come because you were afraid of being held accountable?"
"I'll say it one last time. I have never even seen this plan, and it's impossible that I signed it!" Xu Qingsui replied speechlessly.
Just then, Huo Xilin walked in, and seeing the two arguing, he asked, "What happened?"
Yan Xisui seemed to have found a savior. She brought the document to him and said, "Brother Lin, this plan was signed by Special Assistant Xu. Now there is a major accident in the project in the south. How do you think this matter can be resolved?"
Huo Xilin took the document, looked at Xu Qingsui's signature on it, and asked, "Have you carefully investigated the Southern Project?"
"Mr. Huo, I have never seen this plan, and my signature is not on it." Xu Qingsui had a bad feeling. Although she had not been in the workplace for a long time, she had seen some intrigues and deceptions. This time, she was most likely being set up.
"But this is indeed your handwriting. How do you want to explain it?" Yan Xisui asked hurriedly without waiting for Huo Xilin to speak.
"Nowadays, there are many people who can imitate handwriting. Even if the handwriting above is exactly the same as mine, it doesn't mean that it is definitely my signature, right?" Xu Qingsui defended himself.
She would never take the blame for this. If she admitted it, it would only allow those who plotted against her to get what they wanted.
"If you say it's not true, then it's not true. This document was handed to you personally by Secretary An. After you signed it, Secretary An sent it out. There are witnesses to prove it. Do you still want to deny it?" Yan Xisui said as she was about to call An Nuan in for a confrontation.
At this time, Huo Xilin finally spoke: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, but to solve the problem first. The matter in the south is indeed very serious. I have to go there in person. Assistant Xu, please arrange two tickets for this afternoon."
"Okay." Xu Qingsui also agreed with Huo Xilin's approach. Since the problem had already occurred, now was not the time to pursue responsibility, but to solve the problem first.
"Is this the one that booked your flight ticket and Special Assistant Yan?" Xu Qingsui asked.
The southern project is now in the charge of Yan Xisui. Although she really wants to go there in person to take a look and to prepare for future defense, she will definitely be held accountable after the matter is resolved. This is Huo Xilin's usual style of doing things.
But Xu Qingsui was not willing to take the blame.
"No, I'll make sure you go with me, mine and yours."
After Huo Xilin finished speaking, Xu Qingsui and Yan Xisui were both surprised.
"Brother Lin, hasn't the project in the south been handed over to me? Even if I need to go on a business trip there, I should go with you!" Yan Xisui protested immediately.
That's why she didn't want Xu Qingsui and Huo Xilin to have the chance to be alone together.
What's more, she had to go there in person to look after the project in the south, otherwise she would not feel at ease.
If anything were to be discovered, all her plans would be in vain.
