Chapter 153 Envy
He said this in such a wronged tone that Xu Qingsui could not bear to refuse.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Xu Qingsui asked.
She regretted the moment she asked and quickened her pace awkwardly.
Although she was decisive and efficient in doing things, she was always capricious and unable to stick to her own ideas when she met Huo Xilin.
This made her feel very distressed and conflicted.
"Just eat something. I have work in the afternoon and can't waste too much time." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui thought about it and decided that he had a light taste. There happened to be a soup restaurant opposite the hospital, so he took him there.
After a simple lunch, Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui: "The Lu family is going to have a wedding soon. Did you know about this?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingsui nodded: "I just received the news too."
"So what are you going to do next? Are you going to follow our previous plan and eat away at Lu's shares bit by bit, turning Lu into a completely empty shell? Or are you going to take this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Lu family?"
"Such a happy day has attracted almost the entire country's attention. How can we let it go so easily?" Xu Qingsui did not intend to hide it from Huo Xilin: "I plan to call the police that day and expose Mr. Lu's crimes!"
She didn't want to waste any more time. The longer it dragged on, the more likely something would happen. She wanted to get it all over with sooner rather than later.
Huo Xilin agreed with Xu Qingsui's idea. He nodded and said, "Contact me anytime if you need my help."
"Okay." Xu Qingsui felt that she could do this well even without Huo Xilin's help.
When they were almost done eating, Huo Xilin took out a tissue, wiped his hands, and said, "Then I'll leave."
At this moment, Xu Qingsui was thinking about what to prepare next. She just nodded perfunctorily in response to what Huo Xilin said to her.
Huo Xilin was very depressed when he saw this. He lifted her chin with his hand and said, "Are you just being so perfunctory to me?"
What else?
Xu Qingsui looked at him puzzledly: "Boss Huo, I've already treated you to a meal, what else do you want me to do?"
Huo Xilin felt as powerless as if he had punched cotton. He had finally managed to appease the person, but the misunderstanding from last night happened again. He clearly felt that Xu Qingsui was deliberately keeping a distance from him.
"Don't you want to see me off?" Huo Xilin asked in a lost tone.
"Send you to the company?" Xu Qingsui was shocked. "I have been suspended now. Besides, if I go to the company with you, Miss Yan will definitely misunderstand me. It will be difficult for you to explain to both sides."
Huo Xilin knew that everything he had said to Xu Qingsui in the hospital just now was in vain.
She didn't listen at all, she still didn't want to believe him.
With a helpless sigh, Huo Xilin said, "Take me to the parking lot."
After saying that, he picked up his briefcase and went to the waiter to pay for the meal.
After coming out of the restaurant, Xu Qingsui carried the food he had packed for Lin Wan and followed Huo Xilin to the parking lot.
His car was parked downstairs of the hospital's inpatient department. It was afternoon and the sun was not too strong. Many family members were supporting their patients in the yard to bask in the sun.
Huo Xilin opened the car door, but did not rush to get in and drive. Instead, he turned around and hugged Xu Qingsui behind him.
This sudden hug made Xu Qingsui a little confused. Suddenly, an old couple passed by them. The old lady showed an envious look and said to the old man beside her: "Old man, look at the young people, they are so good."
"Like when we were young. Although we are old now, you are still by my side. It's worth it!" The old grandfather smiled and comforted the old lady. As the voice gradually faded away, the two also left Xu Qingsui's sight.
"Mr. Huo, please let me go. There are so many people watching us." After being shy, Xu Qingsui felt very disappointed.
All they saw was a talented man and a beautiful woman, who seemed to have a very good relationship. But only she herself knew that she and Huo Xilin would not be together until old age.
The old lady just now envied their youth, but she envied the sincerity between the old lady and the old man, who supported each other through thick and thin and held hands until their hair turned white.
Perhaps only those who make it to the end will see that everything is beautiful.
But she no longer had the longing she had at the beginning.
"I'm holding my own wife, let them look at her as they please." After Huo Xilin said this, instead of letting go, he hugged Xu Qingsui even tighter.
If she had not experienced repeated deception, had not seen the intimate scenes between Huo Xilin and Yan Xisui, and had not experienced his abandonment, she would have felt really happy when Huo Xilin said this.
But now, she only felt irony.
In Huo Xilin's arms, she was like a rag doll without any thoughts or feelings.
She loved Huo Xilin, but she had no right to choose. From the beginning to the end, she was forced to accept his good and bad sides.
This feeling of powerlessness almost made Xu Qingsui unable to breathe.
After a long time, Huo Xilin finally realized that something was wrong with her.
Slowly letting her go, Huo Xilin saw that her eyes were empty and her expression was numb, as if she had lost her soul. He suddenly remembered that when he first saw her in the company, she was like a rose growing on a rock, dazzling and covered with thorns.
But now, she seems to be slowly withering away.
His heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, the pain was so severe that he couldn't express it in words.
"I'm sorry..." Huo Xilin knew very well that his actions had hurt her, but his original intention was clearly to protect her.
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "Mr. Huo, it's getting late, you should leave."
"Wait for me." Huo Xilin held the back of her head, kissed her forehead gently, then got into the car decisively and drove away.
It was not until he disappeared on the road that Xu Qingsui slowly came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.
Did he understand that his unclear attitude was what hurt her the most?
Compared to killing with a single blow, lingchi is truly cruel.
But she owed him a favor, and even if it was as repayment, she could not freely choose to stay or leave, so she could only continue to suffer like this, hoping that one day he would get tired of it and let her go.
Xu Qingsui took a deep breath, adjusted his attitude, and returned to Xu Di's ward with his lunch box.
"Sister, where is my brother-in-law?" Seeing Xu Qingsui coming back alone, Xu Di asked hurriedly.
Since confessing his feelings to Lin Wan, although Xu Di has suffered physically, he is very happy mentally.
So he also hopes that his sister and brother-in-law can be truly happy.
"He had something else to do at the company, so he left." Xu Qingsui said calmly.
