Chapter 190 Familiar
Tears welled up in her eyes and Yan Xisui cried with joy.
She hugged Huo Xilin tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Lin, thank you for being willing to marry me. I will love you forever and ever and will never leave you again!"
Huo Xilin pushed her away and remained indifferent to her tears.
"Search online to find out what style of wedding photos you like and where you want to take them. I still have some work to do." After saying that, he turned and left.
Yan Xisui stood there in a daze. Why didn't he have any reaction to such a major event as marriage?
She couldn't help but wonder, did he really like her?
Like it or not is not what Yan Xisui really cares about. As long as she can obtain the identity of the mistress of the Huo family and as long as she can obtain endless benefits, her goal will be achieved.
Wiping away her tears, she suppressed her inner excitement, made sure Huo Xilin had gone to the study and closed the door, then she quickly called Qin Wei.
There was unusual noise on the other end of the line, and Yan Xisui asked, "Where are you?"
"Family reunion, if you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'm busy and don't have time to chat with you." Qin Wei said irritably, and you could tell from his tone that he was in a bad mood.
"I have good news for you. I'm sure it will put you in a good mood!"
"Oh?" Qin Wei instantly became interested: "Tell me, what kind of good news can make me feel so good."
"Huo Xilin is going to marry me." Yan Xisui said proudly, "How are you going to thank me?"
"Really?" Qin Wei's tone rose: "As long as you cooperate with me, when the day comes to annex the Huo family, I will allow you to become my legitimate wife and share the wealth and honor with me!"
"Okay, it's a deal, but during this period, can you promise me not to look for other women?" Yan Xisui said jealously.
She knew that Qin Wei had been keeping a woman outside, but she had never been successful before. In his eyes, she was just a useless pawn, so she had no right to make any demands.
But things are different now. She feels that she has the capital to negotiate with Qin Wei.
"Then can you promise not to have a relationship with Huo Xilin?" Qin Wei asked.
Yan Xisui remained silent. She certainly didn't dare to guarantee it. Although Huo Xilin had become closer to her during these days, they always kept an invisible distance between them. She herself couldn't tell whether Huo Xilin did it on purpose.
But she didn't care about these. As long as she could achieve her goal, it didn't matter whether she had a relationship with Huo Xilin or not. Maybe Huo Xilin was a gentleman and a more traditional person at heart. He wouldn't do anything messy before marriage. But what would happen after marriage, Yan Xisui couldn't guarantee, so she couldn't promise Qin Wei anything.
Her promise made the man on the other side laugh contemptuously: "Yan Xisui, I don't despise you for being unclean. You'd better not ask about my private affairs. What can physical things prove? As long as I have you in my heart, isn't that enough, right?"
Qin Wei's words made Yan Xisui's eyes turn red with grievance, but she had nothing to refute.
Yes, how could a man like Qin Wei have only her as a woman? She couldn't ask him to remain chaste for her, but she just didn't want to give up.
As if he had guessed what was in her mind, Qin Wei continued, "Yan Xisui, I always thought you were different from other women. You are smart and should know what you should and shouldn't be in charge of. Don't let me be disappointed in you."
After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
She held the phone tightly until her knuckles turned white, and then she gradually calmed down.
It doesn’t matter. She has the advantage now. As long as she marries Huo Xilin, it doesn’t matter whether Qin Wei is there or not!
As long as Huo Xilin is willing to treat her well for the rest of his life and has power and influence, isn't it better than following Qin Wei, that playboy?
After figuring all this out, Yan Xisui smiled, her eyes full of calculations.
Qin Wei was right about one thing. She was a smart woman and she should know what she really wanted and what choices she should make.
…
Xu Qingsui stayed in the hotel for two days. Seeing that the bruise on her ankle had faded a lot and there was no difference in her walking, she returned to the courtyard.
When Xu Di saw her coming back, he looked left and right and asked, "Didn't your brother-in-law come back with you?"
"He has other things to take care of." During the past two days in the hotel, Xu Qingsui had calmed himself down, so he remained calm when facing Xu Di's questions.
Sure enough, Brother Xu had no doubts. He asked, "Brother-in-law has no contact with that woman anymore, right? How have you been at brother-in-law's house these past two days? Are his family members treating you well?"
Xu Qingsui was asked a series of questions by her brother and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She knew that he was worried about her, so she told a white lie: "Well, his family is very nice to me and gave me a gift when we met."
"Really?" Brother Xu was visibly happy: "What gift? Let me see."
Lin Wan stood behind the two of them, looking at her helplessly, her eyes seemed to be saying: Act, let me see how you act!
Fortunately, Xu Qingsui was well prepared and took out the mutton-fat jade pendant that Old Madam Huo had given her.
Brother Xu found out and examined it carefully: "This jade is really good, delicate and warm, it must be a family heirloom, but it's a pity that a corner is missing, it must have been broken."
But the more Brother Xu looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
He frowned and said unconsciously: "I seem to have seen this pendant somewhere before."
Xu Qingsui was shocked. If she was the only one who found it familiar, it would be nothing. But if Xu Di also found it familiar, then this pendant must have a connection with the Xu family. She quickly asked, "Where did you see it before?"
Brother Xu thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember it. He returned the pendant to Xu Qingsui: "I can't remember it. It just looks familiar, but I don't have any impression of it."
Xu Qingsui sighed helplessly, and considering his brother's health, he could only give up: "Then tell me when you remember it."
She put the pendant back around her neck and the matter was forgotten.
Time flies, after the New Year holidays, it’s working days again.
Xu Qingsui had been waiting for Huo Xilin to contact her, but he did not contact her again until after the New Year.
Work in the north had resumed, and Xu Wanshan called her and asked when she would go over. Xu Qingsui replied, "Brother, please ask for two days off for me. I will go over after I finish my work here."
"OK."
After Xu Wanshan hung up the phone, Xu Qingsui thought about it and took out her cell phone. She had already memorized Huo Xilin's phone number.
I entered a string of numbers and deleted them several times, and finally, accidentally, I dialed the number.
