Chapter 187 Dissolution of Marriage
Unlike her previous rejection, Mrs. Huo was polite to Xu Qingsui for the first time: "Come on, take a seat. I'm arranging for the kitchen to prepare lunch. It's a rare opportunity for you to come."
Huo Xilin and Xu Qingsui sat down on the sofa, and the nanny quickly prepared tea for them.
Mrs. Huo arranged the kitchen affairs, walked out and sat on the main sofa. She looked Xu Qingsui up and down and said, "You have lost some weight. Is it because of too much work pressure recently?"
Xu Qingsui subconsciously glanced at Huo Xilin, wondering if Mrs. Huo didn't know that she had resigned from the Huo family.
Just as I was about to explain, I heard Madam Huo continue, "I've heard that you passed the restoration certificate exam and are now restoring cultural relics unearthed from a prince's tomb in the north. This job is boring and most importantly, it takes a long time and strains your eyes. Although it's all manual work, sitting there all day with full concentration takes a lot of physical and mental energy."
It turns out that Mrs. Huo knew everything about her.
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I will take good care of myself outside." Xu Qingsui said politely.
"Since you and Huo Xilin have already signed the marriage certificate, I will also recognize you as the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. It doesn't matter if you can't pronounce my name for a while. In the new year, are you planning to prepare for the wedding? Or do you plan to do nothing?"
When Madam Huo asked this question, she looked at Huo Xilin and continued, "Son, if you really want to treat someone well, you shouldn't treat them badly."
Old Madam Huo had been hurt in love, and she hated it most that her son was fickle like his father. She used to side with Yan Xisui because she felt that the person her son cared about was Yan Xisui, and he treated Xu Qingsui as a substitute for his ex-girlfriend.
But after spending such a long time together, she also faced the reality that the person her son really cared about was Xu Qingsui, otherwise he would not have brought Xu Qingsui to her again and again, especially on important days like the Chinese New Year.
Based on her long-term contact and understanding of Xu Qingsui, she accepted this sudden daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart, so she no longer opposed their marriage. It would be good to announce it to the world earlier, while she is still young, she can still take care of their children. She thinks this daughter-in-law is a person with her own opinions and thoughts, and she is afraid that she will not be willing to be a housewife.
"What about the wedding?"
They heard her voice before they saw her. When the three of them looked towards the door, Yan Xisui came in carrying a lot of things: "Godmother, Happy New Year!"
Huo Xilin frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to wish my godmother a happy new year, Brother Lin, you don't seem to welcome me?" Yan Xisui pouted and said aggrievedly, "Didn't you say yesterday when you were coaxing her that you and Miss Xu were just playing around? Why did you bring her here today to deceive my godmother?"
Old Madam Huo was confused by Yan Xisui's words. She asked Huo Xilin, "What do you mean by acting according to circumstances?"
At this moment, Xu Qingsui felt extremely embarrassed, and even the last bit of hope in his heart disappeared. It turned out that this was what he and Yan Xisui said, and they were just playing around.
Is it because I am gullible and cooperative? She was someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will, and he just wanted to play with her.
She asked him when she went out today, and she followed him only after she was sure that Yan Xisui would not come. She didn't expect that he was just lying to her. Could it be that his purpose was to let Yan Xisui come to humiliate her?
Xu Qingsui felt both pathetic and ridiculous, but even so, she could not complain or resist at all, because she had chosen this path in the first place, she had no choice, and everything she suffered now was just repayment.
There is no free lunch in the world. All the gifts she received have already been clearly priced. Huo Xilin is indeed a businessman!
Yan Xisui put her things down, walked to Old Madam Huo and sat down, holding her hand affectionately, and explained, "Godmother, Brother Lin and Miss Xu were just playing around, because Miss Xu looks like me. I left without saying goodbye before, so Brother Lin used Miss Xu to piss me off, but now Brother Lin and I have reconciled."
She turned to Huo Xilin and said, "Brother Lin, today in front of godmother and Miss Xu, you should explain the matter clearly, and when the Civil Affairs Bureau opens, you can dissolve your marriage, okay?"
Mrs. Huo was confused. She looked at her son in confusion: "Is what Xiaosui said true? Have you reconciled?"
Huo Xilin frowned and looked at Xu Qingsui who was silent beside him. He clenched his fists slightly on his legs. Under Yan Xisui's constant pressure, he nodded for a long time: "Yes, Xiaosui and I have reconciled. I brought Xu Qingsui back today just to tell you about this. She and I have decided to dissolve our marriage."
It was like a bolt from the blue. Huo Xilin's words shocked Mrs. Huo so much that she was speechless for a long time.
Xu Qingsui felt like she was struck by lightning. She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come in this way, on such a festive day.
Isn't this the day she has been looking forward to?
But why, when she really received this news, she felt so panicked that her arms were shaking, as if her backbone had been taken away?
Huo Xilin had already occupied the most important position in her heart without her realizing it. After the dissolution of their marriage, the two no longer had any relationship. Without intentional meetings, they might never meet again in this life.
"Miss Xu? Miss Xu..."
There were waves of calls ringing in her ears. Xu Qingsui looked up blankly in the direction where the voice came from. She only heard Yan Xisui smiling and saying to her: "Thank you for taking care of Brother Lin for me during this time. I will definitely send you a wedding invitation when we get married. You must come to attend then."
Xu Qingsui nodded woodenly: "Okay."
It was as if her soul had been taken away from her, and at this moment, she was just a shell.
Faced with this sudden change, Mrs. Huo didn't know what to do for a moment. Since her son had already spoken, she had nothing to say. As long as her son was happy, she had no objection whether it was Xu Qingsui or Yan Xisui. After all, she was quite satisfied with both girls.
But given the current situation, Xu Qingsui was destined to suffer injustice.
She stood up and said to Xu Qingsui: "Qingsui, come with me."
Xu Qingsui watched Madam Huo walk upstairs, and at Huo Xilin's reminder, she followed her.
Walking into the collection room, Mrs. Huo closed the door and sighed: "I can see that you care about my son."
