Chapter 173 Your Circle is Really Chaotic
Xu Qingsui looked at the painful Qin Fang and felt very guilty. If she had known this would happen, she should not have asked anything.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your painful memories. Okay, Brother Qin, it's all in the past, don't think about it anymore."
Qin Fang shook his head: "There is no past. I lost my mother and was later taken back to the Qin family. You have never experienced the kind of life of living under someone else's roof. When my father was around, that woman pretended to be very nice to me, but as long as my father was not around, she and her son would abuse and threaten me in every possible way. They thought I would die under their coercion and inducement like my mother, but I have to live to avenge my mother!"
Qin Fang wiped the tears from his face, and the whole person was shrouded in gloom. He grabbed Xu Qingsui's hand and said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't let them hurt you. If they want to use you to suppress me, then they are making a wrong move!"
"What are you doing?" The sudden appearance of a cold voice brought the two back to their senses.
Xu Qingsui turned around and saw Huo Xilin, who had appeared out of nowhere, standing behind them, his eyes fixed on their holding hands.
Xu Qingsui subconsciously pulled his hand out of Qin Fang's palm and asked awkwardly, "Why are you here?"
Huo Xilin did not answer her question, but walked to sit opposite Qin Fang. When he passed by Xu Qingsui, he pulled her away and placed her next to him as if to declare his sovereignty.
Qin Fang has returned to his usual gloomy and rebellious side, and the painful expression he had just had is long gone.
Sometimes, he and Huo Xilin are the same type of people. They are good at disguising themselves and only reveal their vulnerable side in front of the people they trust the most.
But most of them are invulnerable to swords and guns.
"Boss Huo, how are you?" Qin Fang crossed his arms, stepped back, and said nonchalantly, "I chatted with Sister Qingsui about some family matters. Do you mind?"
"No, Young Master Qin should pay attention to his emotions in public."
Qin Fang shrugged indifferently and looked around the hall. There were not many people dining tonight. He had just spoken very quietly with Xu Qingsui, so he was not worried about being heard.
"Didn't you go to Thailand for business? Have you finished it?" Huo Xilin asked.
"You don't have to treat me the same way you treat your subordinates. I'm not your subordinate who has to listen to you in everything. Don't forget, we are just partners." Qin Fang particularly hated Huo Xilin's condescending and cold attitude, but he always felt inferior to him.
Facing Qin Fang's rebuttal, Huo Xilin didn't care and said, "Who cares about you? I'm very unhappy that you made an appointment with my wife in private."
Seeing that Huo Xilin's face was indeed not looking good, Xu Qingsui quickly explained: "Brother Qin didn't ask me out, I took the initiative to find him."
Huo Xilin turned his head and stared at Xu Qingsui intently: "You..." He asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for a way out for yourself?"
Xu Qingsui: “…”
What's going on in this man's mind all day long?
"I'm telling you, you're mine. I won't let you go. You'll always be my wife! You're not allowed to find a way out for yourself!"
"No." Xu Qingsui explained helplessly: "I heard that the power behind Mr. Lu might be related to Mr. Qin, so I went to ask Brother Qin about it. You misunderstood."
After hearing her explanation, Huo Xilin's expression finally improved. He said, "This matter is indeed related to Mr. Qin. The lawyer who defended Mr. Lu is the director of the legal department of Qin's headquarters."
"Why does he want to help Mr. Lu? Is it really because he wants to use this to suppress Brother Qin?" Xu Qingsui asked curiously.
Huo Xilin and Qin Fang looked at each other, and Xu Qingsui immediately realized that they might be hiding some secret from her.
"What are you two planning? Can you tell me? I've been dragged into this matter. Do you think I can stay out of it?"
"You talk to her yourself. I won't interfere in matters between you and your wife." Qin Fang said to Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin sighed and said to Xu Qingsui: "Suppressing Qin Fang is only part of the reason. Another part of the reason is because of Yan Xisui."
"What?" Xu Qingsui asked in disbelief, "What does this have to do with Yan Xisui?"
"Yan Xisui is Mr. Qin's first love. It was Yan Xisui who instructed him to help Mr. Lu."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
There is a saying that is so true: your circle is so chaotic!
"So, Miss Yan wants to use the Lu family to deal with me, right?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"I guess so." Huo Xilin turned his head and looked into Xu Qingsui's eyes, and said gently: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. I promise that I will not let her or anyone from the Lu family hurt you."
"I'm sorry, this matter has hurt me." Xu Qingsui couldn't hide his inner sadness: "I have no right to ask about your private affairs, but I still say that anyone who hurts my family is my enemy, and I will never let it go. Since Miss Yan did this, I will fight back, so you want to protect her, right?"
"Qing Sui, please don't get involved in this matter. My brother has already started to recover. I heard from the doctor that he is recovering very well. He may be discharged from the hospital at any time. You and your brother Lin Wan should live a peaceful life. I will take care of the rest..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything!" Xu Qingsui said in a cold tone. This was the first time she had been cold to Huo Xilin. She had understood the meaning of his words. After all, in his heart, Yan Xisui would always be the most important.
"I'll just treat it as a way of repaying your kindness. I can keep this a secret, but please go back and tell Miss Yan that she and I should keep our distance from each other from now on. There won't be a next time!"
After Xu Qingsui finished speaking, he stood up and said to Qin Fang apologetically: "Brother Qin, I can't have dinner with you. Please enjoy it slowly. I will invite you back next time."
After saying that, she left the restaurant without looking back. This was the first time that she didn't want to stay in the same space with Huo Xilin.
After Xu Qingsui left, Qin Fang asked helplessly, "Why did you hide it from her? Are you happy that she got away?"
Huo Xilin said calmly: "I don't want her to be involved. You know better than me what kind of person your brother is."
Qin Fang nodded: "It seems that we need to speed up the plan."
The dishes were served one after another. Huo Xilin asked the waiter to pack up a few items and left two dishes and a soup for Qin Fang. "Mr. Qin, please take your time to eat. I won't accompany you." After saying that, he picked up the takeaway box and left.
