Chapter 168 Condescension
Huo Xilin sighed, sat down next to Xu Qingsui, then hugged her in his arms, held the back of her head, and placed her face on his shoulder.
He hated to see her crying, it was heartbreaking.
Xu Qingsui cried for a while, then felt embarrassed, so he quickly pushed Huo Xilin away. He looked up and found that his tears and snot had rubbed onto his black suit.
She quickly stood up and tried to get a tissue, but Huo Xilin grabbed her back and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xu Qingsui pointed at his shoulder awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I stained your clothes. I'll get some tissues to help you wipe it off."
"It's not the first time, why are you being so polite?" Huo Xilin said with a smile.
Xu Qingsui's face turned red instantly, and the feeling he had given her just now disappeared in an instant.
But she was powerless to refute it because what Huo Xilin said was true.
"The water is getting cold, drink it quickly." Huo Xilin said to divert her attention.
Xu Qingsui quickly took two sips. The temperature was just right. After drinking a cup of hot water, the discomfort caused by her period seemed to be relieved.
"Take a shower?" Huo Xilin asked.
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She had already told him that the relatives were coming, so why was he still asking this question?
Is he so perverted as to plan a bloody battle?
Xu Qingsui was simply shocked by his own idea.
As soon as Huo Xilin saw her reaction, he knew that she was daydreaming again.
He has a small head, but a lot of ideas.
Without waiting for her to answer, Huo Xilin got up and went to the bathroom. After a while, he brought a basin of hot water to the bed and pulled Xu Qingsui to sit on the edge of the bed: "Soak your feet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he squatted down and picked up one of Xu Qingsui's feet and was about to take off his slippers.
Xu Qingsui was so frightened that he quickly retracted his foot. His reaction was so violent that he almost kicked the basin of foot washing water to the ground.
"Mr. Huo...you don't have to do this. I...I can do it myself."
If she let Huo Xilin wash her feet, I'm afraid no one would believe it if the news got out.
He is Huo Xilin, who is above everyone else and below everyone else!
"Don't move. I'll take off your shoes for you and you wash them yourself." Huo Xilin forcefully took Xu Qingsui's feet back.
Faced with his persistence, she could only choose to obey.
She sat on the edge of the bed and lowered her head to look at Huo Xilin who was squatting on the ground. Even when he was taking off his shoes, he exuded dignity and elegance.
After both feet were put into the basin of water, Huo Xilin did not get up, but helped her wash her feet.
Xu Qingsui was so stiff that she dared not move at all. At this moment, her mind was blank.
After a long while, Huo Xilin raised his head and said, "I heard from the doctor that massaging the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet can help relax. How does it feel?"
The fact that he washed her feet couldn't possibly make her truly relax, right?
Xu Qingsui was completely confused as to what he was up to.
Seeing that Xu Qingsui was really uncomfortable, Huo Xilin stopped forcing her. When she was almost done washing, he took a disposable towel to wipe her feet clean, then stuffed her whole body into the quilt.
"Relatives who come here should get enough rest. It's getting late, let's go to bed." After saying that, he picked up the basin of water on the ground and went to the bathroom.
After a while, there was a rustling sound coming from the bathroom, and Xu Qingsui guessed that he was taking a shower inside.
Sure enough, when Huo Xilin came out again, he was wrapped in the bathrobe that Xu Qingsui had hung inside.
This bathrobe is a women's bathrobe. When Xu Qingsui wore it, the hem was just at the knees, but when worn by Huo Xilin, it rose to the thighs, which actually made him look somewhat sexy.
Xu Qingsui quickly looked away, feeling one side of the bed collapse slightly. Then, Huo Xilin took off her clothes, turned off the lights, and held her to sleep.
"You really don't plan to leave tonight?" Until this moment, Xu Qingsui was still a little dazed.
"Go to sleep." In the darkness, Huo Xilin's voice sounded tired but with a hint of relaxation.
Not long after, I heard a light snoring sound. He fell asleep so quickly. I guess he didn't get enough rest because of work these days.
Having been with him for some time, Xu Qingsui naturally understood Huo Xilin's work status.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Nestled in his arms, feeling his breath and his body temperature, she felt unprecedented peace of mind.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the trial.
There was a huge crowd of people outside the court, and many media reporters were blocking the door, wanting to interview the parties involved.
You have to know that this matter has been hot for a long time and many people are paying attention to it.
When Xu Qingsui led his legal team to the scene, someone in the crowd shouted, "Xu Qingsui is here!"
A swarm of people surrounded her, but Huo Xilin had the foresight to assign her several bodyguards. So when these people gathered around her, the bodyguards stood in front of her, thus avoiding accidental injury.
"Ms. Xu, what is your appeal in today's court session?"
"My only request is that the defendant be sentenced according to the law and that our Xu family receive belated justice!"
"I heard that you were raised by the Lu family. Wouldn't you feel guilty for sending your benefactor to prison?"
Xu Qingsui stared at the questioner and said coldly, "I believe that as a normal person with normal thinking, I would not ask a question like you."
The reporter who asked the question suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to refute something, but then he heard Xu Qingsui say, "It's getting late, the court will start soon, please make way."
As soon as she finished speaking, the bodyguards blocking her way made way for her, and Xu Qingsui walked into the solemn courtroom with her head held high.
She had finally waited for this day, and she must win this war!
In court, Grandpa Lu confessed to what he had done and had an extremely good attitude. He did not struggle at all and even asked for the death penalty. In the end, he burst into tears and kept apologizing to Xu Qingsui with regret: "Sui Sui, it is Grandpa Lu who is sorry for you and your grandparents. I really know I was wrong. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I ask that I be punished as I deserve."
"Please, judge, sentence me to death. I have committed such a crime, which is truly unforgivable."
Mr. Lu's reaction was completely beyond Xu Qingsui's expectations.
Do you think that a person like him would truly repent?
Why didn't she believe it from the bottom of her heart?
The final verdict was that based on Mr. Lu's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.
A basin of cold water poured over Xu Qingsui, and she was obviously unable to accept such a result.
Her request is to sentence Mr. Lu to death.
