Chapter 186 Revenge
"Brother Lin, you must believe me." Yan Xisui said as she stepped forward and grabbed Huo Xilin's arm, crying.
Huo Xilin let go of Xu Qingsui's hand and said to her, "You guys go back first. I have something to take care of."
As his arms dropped, Xu Qingsui's heart felt empty, so this time, between her and Yan Xisui, he chose Yan Xisui again.
Although it was expected and she had already gotten used to it, Xu Qingsui was still sad, she just no longer showed it like before.
She smiled slightly and said calmly, "Okay."
After saying that, she left with Xu Di, who looked confused, and Lin Wan, who looked angry.
“That’s too much!” After leaving the scene, Lin Wan could no longer control himself and cursed loudly: “I’ve never seen such a shameless woman!”
"Sister, what is the relationship between my brother-in-law and that woman? Is he cheating on me? That woman is a mistress, right?" Although Xu Di is naive, he is not a fool. Looking at the relationship between the two just now, he couldn't help but think too much.
"They are colleagues and have mutual interests. Moreover, Miss Yan was raised by your brother-in-law's mother. She is considered half-daughter of the Huo family. Isn't it normal for them to have a better relationship?" Xu Qingsui explained. She didn't want her brother to know the true relationship between her and Huo Xilin.
Lin Wan was about to say something else, but Xu Qingsui quickly gave him a look. Lin Wan rolled his eyes and had no choice but to shut his mouth.
"If they were siblings, it would be fine, but aren't they related by blood? And judging from the way that woman behaves, it's clear that she's attracted to my brother-in-law. Most importantly, my brother-in-law can't figure it out!" Brother Xu became more and more angry as he spoke: "No, I want to have a good talk with my brother-in-law!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to argue with Huo Xilin.
Xu Qingsui quickly pulled him back: "It's New Year's Day, don't make a fuss. Don't worry, your brother-in-law and I know what to do and what not to do. We are all adults. As a younger brother, it's none of your business. Don't make things worse."
Seeing his sister's tough attitude, Xu Di had no choice but to give up.
"Well, if your brother-in-law really did something to let you down, you must not stand it. At worst, you still have Sister Lin Wan and I standing behind you. We will help you!" No matter how good his brother-in-law is to him, he is not as good as his sister. Brother Xu will always choose to stand on his sister's side unconditionally.
For the first time, Xu Qingsui felt that his younger brother had really grown up.
"Okay, let's go home." She felt much better.
That night, Huo Xilin did not come back. Xu Qingsui lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, listening to the laughter outside, and feeling extremely lonely inside.
Desertification itself is not scary. What is scary is the desertification after the bustle. It will take a long time to get used to it again.
The next morning, Xu Qingsui was still asleep when he heard a noisy noise outside the house. It was from Xu Di and Lin Wan.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and her first reaction was that the two were arguing. She quickly put on some clothes and went out to check. What she saw was Xu Di and Lin Wan questioning and lecturing Huo Xilin.
He, who had always been arrogant, was surprisingly obedient this time. He lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, and listened to the two people talking loudly to him without saying a word.
Seeing Xu Qingsui coming out, the two of them immediately stopped talking: "Sister, did I disturb you?" Xu Di asked guiltily.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qingsui asked back.
"Just... just asking my brother-in-law some questions." Brother Xu lowered his head, looking even more guilty.
Xu Qingsui sighed, knowing that his brother and Lin Wan were venting their anger for him, but they really didn't understand Huo Xilin. How could someone like him be controlled by others?
"Why are you here?" She looked up and asked Huo Xilin.
"Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. Didn't we agree to go to my house for a reunion dinner?" Huo Xilin said a little awkwardly.
Perhaps he was afraid that Xu Qingsui would refuse, so he lost confidence in what he said.
"What about Miss Yan?" Xu Qingsui asked.
If Yan Xisui was there, she wouldn't want to go.
"She's not here." Huo Xilin replied.
"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll go change my clothes." After saying that, Xu Qingsui turned around and was about to leave when he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said to Xu Di and Lin Wan, "You two should stop causing trouble. We can solve the problems between husband and wife ourselves!"
"Okay." The two replied in unison.
After seeing that the two of them were well-behaved, Xu Qingsui returned to his room with peace of mind. He simply washed up, changed his clothes, prepared some gifts, and then left with Huo Xilin.
Sitting in the car, Huo Xilin helped Xu Qingsui fasten his seat belt and said, "Thank you."
Xu Qingsui asked doubtfully, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for protecting me just now." Huo Xilin was visibly happy.
Xu Qingsui was stunned for a moment. She didn't think she was protecting Huo Xilin just now. She was just afraid that Xu Di and Lin Wan would offend him.
Besides, who would dare to bully a man like him? He himself is an indestructible mountain and does not need anyone to protect him. He is terribly powerful.
But even so, just because of her words, he could be so happy. It can be seen that he also has a fragile heart and there are times when he is needed.
She didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.
"I said I would accompany you yesterday. I'm sorry." Halfway through the journey, Huo Xilin broke the silence.
Xu Qingsui knew that he was talking about Yan Xisui.
"It doesn't matter. After all, Miss Yan is more important. You and I only have a contractual relationship. Don't worry, I will clearly define my own responsibilities and will not overstep my boundaries in the slightest." Xu Qingsui said generously, his expression very calm, as if he didn't care at all.
Huo Xilin's face turned cold in an instant. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
Xu Qingsui felt that Huo Xilin became unhappy. She knew that her words had affected him. She also knew what he wanted to hear, but she just didn't say it. Looking at his deflated expression, for some reason, she finally felt relieved.
It turns out that 'revenge' feels so good!
When they arrived at the destination, Huo Xilin got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and put his hand in front of her.
Xu Qingsui naturally placed his hand in his palm and let him lead him into the hall of the Huo family's old house.
At this time, Mrs. Huo was instructing the chef to prepare lunch.
"Mom, we're back."
Huo Xilin's voice interrupted Madam Huo's arrangements. She turned around and saw two people walking in. A smile appeared on her serious face.
