Chapter 160: Yearning
Xu Qingsui hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Since she had made up her mind, how could he be so cruel as to force her to stay?
"Okay, when you get back, submit a resignation report to the administrative department and I will approve it." Huo Xilin said to her, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.
Xu Qingsui did not expect that Huo Xilin would give in so easily.
So she continued: "Then our marriage contract..."
Before Xu Qingsui could finish her words, Huo Xilin interrupted her hastily: "Don't push your luck. Don't even think about canceling the contract, let alone divorce!"
It's not easy to find the opportunity to tie someone to your side and establish a lifelong relationship with him. Canceling the contract with her is like letting a fish return to the water. It will be very difficult to get her back to your side later.
Xu Qingsui didn't understand. Since Huo Xilin had chosen Yan Xisui, why was he unwilling to give Yan Xisui a name and instead tied himself to him? What did this mean?
Or are all men the same, preferring the kind of life where there's a red flag flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside?
But is Huo Xilin really that kind of person?
Many times, Xu Qingsui couldn't understand the man in front of her. She felt that he was very complicated.
But what she wanted was always a simple life. She didn't like to always guess and be deceived.
"Then when will you be willing to let me go?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Huo Xilin just looked at her and said nothing more.
This negotiation undoubtedly ended in failure.
On that day, the news that Mr. Lu planned to murder, steal the Xu family's collection, and kill Xu Songhe and his wife dominated all major platforms.
All of a sudden, Lu's enterprise stock price plummeted. Xu Qingsui had sold all his stocks the night before the incident, and he sold them at the high point. He made a lot of money from the buying and selling.
After returning, she deposited the cash from selling the stocks into the card Huo Xilin gave her, and then handed it to him: "Boss Huo, although you don't let me say thank you, I still want to say that this time it's really thanks to your help. This is the money from buying Lu's stocks last time. I cashed it out and made a small profit. Although you don't think highly of it, I still want to return it to you."
Huo Xilin looked at the card in her hand and said with a smile, "This is pocket money for you. Keep it."
"It's not appropriate. Besides, I don't have much money to spend except for my brother's affairs. Now that my brother is in the hospital and you asked the hospital to reimburse the full amount, you should take back the card."
"Although you don't need it now, you may need it in the future. I never thought of taking back the things I gave you, whether it's money or people."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
Before Xu Qingsui could react, Huo Xilin had already left.
Even though she knew he might be lying to her, she was still moved by his words.
Maybe this is what love is like, always deceiving yourself, always getting hurt and constantly healing yourself, hitting the wall again and again, and sinking again and again while being sober.
Xu Qingsui went to the ward to see his younger brother Xu.
"Sister, you don't even know where you've been these two days. I don't know what happened, but Sister Lin Wan lost my cell phone. Can you buy me a new one? A very cheap one will do. It's too inconvenient without a cell phone." Brother Xu complained as soon as he saw Xu Qingsui.
You have to know that in this era, you can't live without a mobile phone, so he persisted for several days.
"The doctor said that cell phones have radiation and can't be used," Xu Qingsui made up an excuse and said.
"Really?" Xu Di looked at Lin Wan subconsciously, which was enough to show his trust in Lin Wan.
Lin Wan nodded seriously, "Yes, yes, your phone is not lost. I kept it for safekeeping. I lied to you because I was afraid you couldn't help it. I will return it to you when the doctor tells you when you can use it, okay?"
"Well, since it's for my health, I must endure it. I want to get better soon!"
At night, while Xu Di was asleep, Lin Wan finally got her chance. Outside the ward, she said to Xu Qingsui, "I've read the news online. Finally, Mr. Lu got the punishment he deserved. It's really satisfying!"
"Don't be too happy yet. He is only under criminal detention now. The case has not been tried yet. There is still a big battle to fight. This kind of evil person deserves death. I must strive to sentence him to death!" Xu Qingsui looked out the window at his brother Xu who was sleeping peacefully in the ward: "Don't tell him about the Xu family. I hope he will never know."
For Brother Xu, the Xu family's affairs happened many years ago and the impact they had on him was getting smaller and smaller. But if the truth were to be revealed, it would undoubtedly open up the old scars, revealing the bloody flesh, which would only be more painful than before.
It is enough for her to bear this matter. The fewer people involved, the better. After everything has calmed down, let it all pass.
Lin Wan understood Xu Qingsui's thoughts: "Don't worry, I won't say a word."
"What are your plans next? Are you going back to work at Huo's?" Lin Wan asked.
Xu Qingsui shook his head and said, "I have already discussed it with Huo Xilin. I will go back and submit my resignation tomorrow. I will prepare for the court hearing in the near future. After I have dealt with these, I plan to visit all parts of the country to promote my grandparents' craftsmanship and take this opportunity to go out and broaden my horizons."
Lin Wan was happy for Xu Qingsui: "I don't know when I can travel around the world with Brother Xu and record all the beautiful things in this world with a pen."
"Yes, this day will definitely come." Xu Qingsui comforted Lin Wan.
"Well, we have already started planning. When brother Xu gets better, I will go and take the driving test. Then we will buy an RV and go on a self-driving tour." Lin Wan had a happy smile on his face and his eyes were full of longing.
Looking at Lin Wan like this, Xu Qingsui was very envious. Even though Xu Di was in poor health, the two of them still had hope of being together.
But between her and Huo Xilin, there was not even that little hope.
Perhaps, she will never get the happiness she wants.
However, she was also sincerely happy to see that her loved ones were living well.
The next morning, Xu Qingsui washed and dressed, changed into a neat suit, and rushed to the company with the resignation letter he had written overnight.
This is the rush hour for going to work.
When the company's employees saw Xu Qingsui appear in the company, they immediately started whispering.
"Wasn't she fired? Why is she still coming to the company?"
"Who said he was fired? I heard he was suspended!"
"After causing such a big disaster, he was only suspended? Tsk tsk tsk, those who rely on their looks to get promoted are different?"
"The future boss lady of the company is now Special Assistant Yan. What's the use of having a good figure and a good face? In the end, Mr. Huo didn't choose her!"
