Chapter 176 Broken Promise
Instantly, the party of four became a party of three.
This sudden change made Lin Wan and Xu Di confused: "Sister, what does brother-in-law mean by this?"
"When we meet work partners, we have a meal together," Xu Qingsui explained.
"Who is that woman? Why is she holding my brother-in-law's arm?" Although Xu Di was naive, he was not a fool. He asked angrily, "Sister, is this my brother-in-law's mistress?"
Xu Qingsui was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to explain. If we talk about it according to the legal relationship, Yan Xisui is indeed Huo Xilin's lover, but she and Huo Xilin are just a cooperative marriage, so according to this, she is the one who is paid to support.
Of course, Brother Xu must not know this, otherwise I don’t know how he will blame himself. I’m finally hoping that his health will recover, so there can’t be any more accidents.
So she lied: "She is your brother-in-law's sister. They grew up together and have a very good relationship, so it is normal for them to have some intimate behavior."
Fortunately, this reason dispelled Xu Di's doubts. He muttered, "Since she is my brother-in-law's sister, why don't you introduce her to us?"
"Sister, when you married your brother-in-law, did you ever meet his parents? When will he hold your wedding? Although our parents are gone, you still have me and Lin Wan as your relatives. Sister, the two of us are your strongest support!"
Xu Qingsui was deeply moved by what Xu Di said. She said, "Your brother-in-law's father passed away when he was young. He only has his mother, whom I have met. My mother-in-law treats me very well. Don't worry. As for the wedding..."
Xu Qingsui paused. No girl would not look forward to her wedding, but she wouldn't.
"We are all young people of the new era. I don't really like traditional weddings. I have discussed it with your brother-in-law and decided to forget about the wedding."
"Ah?" Xu Di's face was filled with regret. He turned to Lin Wan and said, "Let's travel and get married in the future. Even if we don't have a wedding, we must leave our wedding photos in every beautiful scenery in the world!"
"Okay!" Lin Wan said happily, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
"Sister, why don't we travel around the world together? You and your husband, and I and Lin Wan. We will be so happy together, and we can take care of each other."
Xu Qingsui was a little excited by what he said, but these things were just thoughts, they were impossible to achieve.
She waved her hand and refused: "Forget it, your brother-in-law and I have other plans. You and Lin Wan should enjoy your own world. The first thing is to be discharged from the hospital. How far can you go in your current body?"
"Yes!" Xu Di and Lin Wan looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Xu Qingsui finished his meal absentmindedly, and Huo Xilin did not come back until the three were about to leave.
She didn't have high expectations at first, but Huo Xilin's words about waiting for him to come back still made her feel excited.
Now it seems that he has broken his promise once again.
"Sister, are you coming back to the courtyard tonight?" After coming out of the restaurant, the three of them stood on the roadside to hail a taxi, and Xu Di asked her.
"You guys go back first, I'll wait for your brother-in-law." Xu Qingsui found a taxi, let Xu Di and Lin Wan get in, and said.
"Okay, bye, sister."
Watching the car leave, Xu Qingsui could no longer hold back her sadness, but this time she was strong enough not to cry.
She sent a message to Huo Xilin, asking him to come to the courtyard to see her tonight. It was time to end everything.
But that night, Huo Xilin did not come and did not reply to her message.
Xu Qingsui kept her eyes open until dawn. Her eyes were extremely dry, but she had no desire to sleep.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She jumped out of bed and ran to open the door.
But the moment the door opened, Xu Qingsui saw clearly that the person standing at the door was not Huo Xilin, but Qin Fang.
She was slightly stunned and asked, "Brother Qin, why is it you?"
Qin Fang looked at Xu Qingsui's bloodshot eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and haggard face, and was shocked: "How did you get yourself into this state?"
Xu Qingsui pulled her pajamas together awkwardly, invited Qin Fang in, then went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking at herself in the mirror, she forced herself to smile, which was uglier than crying. She had no choice but to give up.
Fearing that Qin Fang would have to wait for a long time, Xu Qingsui walked out of the bathroom, poured him a cup of hot tea, and repeated the question he had just asked: "Brother Qin, what is it that brings you to see me so early in the morning?"
"I heard that you passed the certificate exam?" Qin Fang asked.
"How did you know?" She just got her certificate yesterday, why did everyone know about it?
It’s not surprising that Xu Wanshan knew this, since he is an insider, but how did Huo Xilin and Qin Fang know this? She didn't tell them.
"Mr. Zhang told me." Qin Fang's eyes were evasive and a hint of discomfort appeared on his face. It was obvious that he was lying.
But Xu Qingsui didn't notice. She was thinking about who the old man Zhang Qin Fang was talking about. She suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Are you talking about Grandpa Zhang Maocai?"
"Yes, it's that old man. Recently, a prince's tomb was unearthed in the north, and many funerary objects were excavated from it. He asked me to come over and ask you if you want to go and take a look together."
"When do we leave?" Xu Qingsui would certainly not miss such a good opportunity. Moreover, after what happened last night, she wanted to leave this place.
She wanted to put an end to her relationship with Huo Xilin, but he would definitely not agree.
Then stay away from him. Maybe if they don't meet each other, she won't be so painful.
"Then get ready, we'll leave right away." Qin Fang said.
In such a hurry?
"Is it me and you?" Xu Qingsui asked uncertainly.
Qin Fang nodded and explained, "I just happened to be going to the Qin headquarters. Mr. Zhang is already there. You can come with me this time."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away. Brother Qin, wait for me." After Xu Qingsui finished speaking, he returned to his room, changed his clothes, prepared a few sets of spare clothes and some toiletries, and then sent a message to Lin Wan.
After getting ready, she followed Qin Fang to the airport.
Inside the car, Qin Fang's cell phone kept ringing. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Huo Xilin.
Qin Fang sent him the news that Xu Qingsui was taken away.
Huo Xilin replied with two words: Sorry for the trouble. I owe you a favor this time.
Then, Qin Fang's phone fell silent.
"Brother Qin, the message you're in a hurry to reply to so early in the morning must be very important, right?" Xu Qingsui couldn't help but joked.
