Chapter 18 Uncertain
The front desk was used to this kind of thing, so they didn't show anything.
But Xu Qingsui felt embarrassed, and she looked at Huo Xilin somewhat awkwardly.
"Boss Huo, why don't we go back?"
"Hurry up!" Huo Xilin said in a tough tone.
As a last resort, Xu Qingsui closed his eyes, looked determined, and quickly took out his ID and handed it to the front desk.
As soon as he entered the room, Huo Xilin pushed Xu Qingsui against the wall.
The tall body completely covered her, leaving her with no way to escape.
While gasping for breath, Xu Qingsui still had a trace of rationality and hurriedly grabbed Huo Xilin's hand that was about to tear her clothes.
"No, I didn't bring any clothes..."
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment, and the next second he heard a "swish" sound, and the clothes on Xu Qingsui were instantly torn into two pieces.
Under Xu Qingsui's resentful gaze, stars rose in Huo Xilin's dark eyes and a rare smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He bit the tip of her ear and whispered, "I'll buy it for you later."
As the last piece of clothing was torn into pieces, Xu Qingsui was pushed onto the sofa in a daze.
She remembered the night when it rained heavily.
At this moment, she seemed to be in the heavy rain, floating up and down with the wind and rain.
Afterwards, Xu Qingsui lay on the bed pretending to be dead, and Huo Xilin hugged her from behind.
"Don't take my mother's behavior today to heart. She was just worried and confused. She didn't mean to target you."
"Um."
Xu Qingsui didn't take it to heart.
To her, the old lady was just a stranger.
She knew her position very well and would not consider herself the daughter-in-law of the Huo family just because she and Huo Xilin had obtained a marriage certificate.
The old lady was only her mother-in-law in name, not her real mother-in-law.
Huo Xilin turned Xu Qingsui's face with his hands, looked at her steadily, and then sighed: "Go to sleep, I will take you to the resort tomorrow."
"Mr. Huo, no need, I'll go by myself."
Xu Qingsui was very afraid that people in the company would find out something, so he deliberately kept a distance from Huo Xilin.
"Don't worry, I'm just doing work on my way there. I didn't mean to give you a ride." Huo Xilin said calmly.
I was in a good mood just now, but now I’m in a bad mood again.
As they got to know each other better, Xu Qingsui was already able to guess Huo Xilin's mood through his tone.
She yawned and had no intention of guessing why her boss was always in a moody state.
…
The ringing sounded over and over again, and Xu Qingsui was too sleepy to open his eyes.
I raised my hand towards the direction of the sound and felt a warm palm.
Huo Xilin held Xu Qingsui's hand with one hand, and took Xu Qingsui's mobile phone with the other hand.
Seeing the unfamiliar number on the caller ID, he frowned, then chose to answer the call and turned on the speakerphone.
"Xu Qingsui, how dare you block me?"
Lu Jingyu's roaring voice came through the other side of the screen, shocking Xu Qingsui into waking up mostly.
She quickly snatched the phone from Huo Xilin's hand.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, she was about to hang up, but the other end seemed to have expected it and said before she hung up: "Xu Qingsui, if you don't want your grandparents' belongings to be bought by others, hang up the phone."
Xu Qingsui's finger stopped on the screen when he hung up the phone, but he didn't press it down in the end.
Her grandparents' relics are her few weaknesses.
"Lu Jingyu, what do you want to do?" Xu Qingsui's voice was a little cold.
"Our family is holding a charity auction this Friday, and my grandfather asked me to call you." Lu Jingyu said impatiently.
If the old man hadn't threatened him with Lu's shares, he really didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Qingsui again.
What's so good about this stupid woman that makes his family like her so much and insist on him marrying her?
Lu Jingyu was almost annoyed to death, but that damn woman didn't like him and even dared to block him, forcing him to use Gu Rong's phone to contact her.
"The Lu family's auction? I thought it was some high-end place."
Huo Xilin sneered and spoke with contempt.
"Xu Qingsui, you are with another man?"
From the other side of the screen, Lu Jingyu's roaring voice was heard again.
You can easily guess what will happen when you are with a man late at night.
Wasn’t Xu Qingsui a chaste and virtuous woman when she was with him?
"So noisy." Huo Xilin reached out and hung up the phone. "Don't pay attention to this kind of people in the future. If you have any problems, you can tell me and I will help you solve them."
"My grandparents' belongings are in the Lu family and are now kept by Mr. Lu. I have to go to the auction on Friday."
"The Lu family is a family that got rich by taking over the magpie's nest. After so many years, they haven't changed at all."
People of Huo Xilin's status don't take the Lu family seriously at all, and he never accepts any invitations from the Lu family.
But this time, for Xu Qingsui, he was willing to condescend and make an exception.
"I'll go with you on Friday."
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "Mr. Huo, thank you for your kindness, I can handle this matter myself."
She thought, no matter how shameless the Lu family was, they would not dare to auction off the things left to her by her grandparents.
She was young at the time, and Mr. Lu had a good relationship with her grandparents, so when the Xu family was in trouble, they entrusted those treasures to Mr. Lu for temporary safekeeping, waiting to return them to her when Xu Qingsui was capable.
But after so many years, the Lu family has no intention of returning it.
Every time Xu Qingsui asked, Mr. Lu would evade the question by saying that Xu Qingsui was too young and lacked the ability.
Xu Qingsui suddenly thought of something and quickly opened his mobile phone to search for news about the auction held by the Lu family.
Then, photos of exquisite jewelry and various antiques appeared before my eyes.
It’s a relic from my grandparents!
The Lu family actually used these things as a gimmick for this auction?
Xu Qingsui was so angry that he was shaking all over. What qualifications did they have to do this!
Huo Xilin patted Xu Qingsui's back gently and said, "Don't be stubborn at any time. Remember that I am here. Even if it's just for the sake of the agreement, I will help you. You should exercise your rights when you should, otherwise they will expire and become invalid, and you will suffer a loss."
Xu Qingsui rested his chin on Huo Xilin's shoulder, his eyes uncontrollably moist.
Even if it was because of the agreement, Huo Xilin's words still touched her.
"Okay, I will definitely ask you for help when I need it."
Xu Qingsui decided to go to the auction alone on Friday.
She wanted to preserve her grandparents' belongings with her own strength.
Although she was touched, she didn't want to rely too much on Huo Xilin.
This auction attracted more wealthy people from all walks of life than any previous auction.
Those who know the business can see that what the Lu family brought out this time are all genuine good stuff.
The auction was held in the exhibition hall opened by the Lu family. Xu Qingsui walked through the rows of display racks and looked at the familiar items inside. She felt mixed emotions.
