Chapter 146 Contrast
Huo Xilin looked serious and looked directly into Xu Qingsui's eyes: "Do you think I look like a liar?"
Xu Qingsui had nothing to refute, just lowered his head and ate in silence.
But I was very worried while eating this meal.
After the banquet, Mr. Lu sent someone to inquire about Xu Qingsui's siblings. The person who came back reported that the bodies had been cremated and taken away by Xu Qingsui's boyfriend. No funeral was held.
How can this be possible?
He also wanted to use this opportunity to hold a mourning banquet, announce it to the world, and then naturally return the relics to the Lu family.
Mr. Lu asked someone to look up the information and contact details of Xu Qingsui's boyfriend, but found nothing.
This made Mr. Lu a little worried. What was the identity of this person? Even the Lu family couldn't get involved. Could it be that he really had a connection with the Huo family?
Soon after, another headache occurred. The incident at the dinner was reported by various media, making the Lu family a laughing stock. The Lu Group's stocks also plummeted, and it can be said that the loss was heavy.
Mr. Lu convened a board meeting in his capacity as the chairman of the Lu Group. He first appeased these profit-seeking shareholders, and then urgently arranged public relations to release the news that Lu Jingyu and Gu Rong were going to get married. This at least restored some of Lu Jingyu's reputation and barely stabilized the situation.
…
"Have you bought the bottom?" Huo Xilin asked Xu Qingsui.
It was Huo Xilin who arranged for people to spread the negative news about Lu's company. He transferred a sum of money to Xu Qingsui's account in advance and opened an account for her. He just waited for Lu's stock to fall to the bottom and then asked Xu Qingsui to buy all the Lu's stocks that were sold on the market.
"Yeah." Xu Qingsui said excitedly: "I checked the current distribution of Lu's shares. Mr. Lu holds 38%, Lu Jingyu holds 6%, and the other shareholders hold a total of 34%. The remaining 24% of the shares are in the hands of retail investors. This time Lu's stock plummeted, and investors sold them one after another. The shares I purchased accounted for 20% of Lu's shares!"
With this calculation, Xu Qingsui became the second largest shareholder of Lu Group!
Looking at the uncontrollable smile on Xu Qingsui's face, Huo Xilin was in a good mood. As long as he could make her happy, no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it.
What's more, this money is just the tip of the iceberg for him and is not worth mentioning.
After all, the thing he has the most is money.
"Mr. Huo, isn't the company busy recently?" Xu Qingsui put away his smile and asked Huo Xilin.
Ever since Xu Di was transferred to another hospital, Huo Xilin has been with her most of the time, which made her wonder if he was very free.
"Busy." Huo Xilin said, "But I'm not busy with your business."
What does he mean?
As if seeing Xu Qingsui's doubts, Huo Xilin said: "What I mean is that your affairs are more important to me than the company's affairs."
"Why?" Xu Qingsui couldn't help but ask stupidly.
She couldn't understand why the person Huo Xilin cared about the most was obviously Yan Xisui. He was willing to wrongly accuse himself for her and now he was saying that her affairs were very important.
Xu Qingsui really couldn't understand Huo Xilin like this.
Huo Xilin did not answer her directly, but just said: "One day you will understand."
Glancing at the dark night outside the window, Huo Xilin stood up and raised his hand to rub her hair out of habit: "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
"Are you leaving?" Perhaps because he was used to having him by his side, Xu Qingsui couldn't help feeling lost when he saw Huo Xilin was about to leave.
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and asked, "Do you want me to stay?"
When he was not smiling, his eyes were as cold as if covered with a layer of frost, but when he smiled, they were like a sky full of stars, dazzling and eye-catching.
Xu Qingsui lowered her eyes in inferiority. No matter when, facing such an outstanding man like Huo Xilin, she always felt that she was unworthy.
He always made her desperately want to stay away from him, but also couldn't help wanting to get closer to him. Her reason and her heart were constantly pulling at each other, and she gradually lost herself.
Xu Qingsui shook his head gently, then looked up and said, "Boss Huo, goodbye."
She would have to slowly get used to the days without him.
Huo Xilin reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, and the room fell into darkness.
In the darkness, Xu Qingsui heard a rustling sound. After a while, the quilt was lifted and a hot body came in.
Xu Qingsui's body instantly became stiff, and Huo Xilin reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"It's getting late, go to bed quickly." He patted her back gently, coaxing her to sleep, just like he used to do when they slept in each other's arms.
Xu Qingsui blushed: "I'm not a child anymore."
Although that was the case, the feeling of being coaxed like this still made her feel at ease.
She has never had a good night's sleep since her brother's accident.
Huo Xilin seemed to have some magical power. Just by being next to him, Xu Qingsui could relax completely.
With the light from the window, Huo Xilin lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly: "Go to sleep."
Xu Qingsui closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, after Huo Xilin left, a man came to the hospital. This man was Qin Fang, who had not been seen for a long time.
He changed his previous cynical attitude and cut off his long curly hair, making him look clean and refreshed.
Xu Qingsui was a little surprised when he first saw him: "Brother Qin, you have changed a lot, what happened?"
If a person undergoes a drastic change in their appearance, it must be due to something or someone.
Xu Qingsui couldn't help but tease, "Are you dating a girlfriend?"
"I want to, but unfortunately no girl likes me."
Xu Qingsui was simply shocked by this sentence: "Brother Qin, what kind of girl do you want? If you just make a move, she will be dizzy and follow you. Aren't you too modest?"
"Really?" Qin Fang's eyes sparkled, and he said to Xu Qingsui, "Then if I beg you, will you be willing to follow me?"
Xu Qingsui: “…”
"Brother Qin, you are such a joke. I'm already married." What's more, her heart already has Huo Xilin in it, and there is no room for anyone else.
Qin Fang already knew this promise, so he was not sad. He just said with emotion: "Love is only useful when both parties are in love. I don't like the one I like, and the one I like doesn't like me. What can I do? I can only be single."
Qin Fang's humorous appearance made Xu Qingsui couldn't help laughing. There was no trace of his former gloomy look in him now. He was simply a cheerful boy.
"How did you know I was in the hospital?" After laughing, Xu Qingsui remembered to ask something important.
