Chapter 209 Reunion
Xu Qingsui paused as he was about to leave: "Thank you for telling me this."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Walking on the busy street, Gu Rong's words just now were still echoing in her ears.
The Lu family's current situation was due to Huo Xilin's help. Even though their relationship was over and they were no longer in contact, he was still helping her without asking for anything in return. How could she ever repay this favor?
Xu Qingsui couldn't help but wonder how Huo Xilin was doing now and whether he had anyone caring around him.
Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head. These had nothing to do with her anymore.
After sending Xu Youyou to school, Xu Qingsui began to search for information related to cultural relics restoration on the Internet.
Soon, she searched for a recruitment information of a large museum, and the contact information on it was actually Xu Wanshan’s phone number.
She was surprised and happy, and made the call immediately.
"Hello, are you applying for a restoration job?" When the call was connected, a familiar voice came from the other end.
Xu Qingsui's eyes suddenly became sore, and he choked up and said, "Senior Brother Xu, it's me, Xu Qingsui."
There was silence on the other side for a moment.
"Senior Brother Xu, are you still here?" Xu Qingsui asked doubtfully.
If Xu Qingsui hadn't seen the words "on the phone", he would have thought that the other party had hung up.
After a long while, Xu Wanshan said in a hoarse voice: "Yes... Junior Sister Xu, are you back home?"
"Well, I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, senior brother." Xu Qingsui said apologetically.
"Let's not talk about this. Where are you now? Is it convenient for us to meet?" Xu Wanshan asked quickly.
"That's convenient. Where are you, Brother Xu? I can come find you." Xu Qingsui replied.
Xu Wanshan reported a location and Xu Qingsui quickly wrote it down. After hanging up the phone, she searched for the location on the navigation and found that it was only 20 to 30 kilometers away, very close.
That afternoon, Xu Qingsui drove over and finally met Xu Wanshan. He hadn't changed much from before, still gentle and refined, with a remarkable temperament.
"Junior sister, I haven't seen you for many years. You have become more beautiful than ever." Xu Wanshan couldn't help but praise her as the first sentence when they met.
"She's not more beautiful, she's just more mature." Xu Qingsui said with a smile.
She is already a mother of a child, how can she be compared with a little girl?
A woman's entire temperament and mentality will change before and after giving birth.
"I have booked a restaurant. Let's go eat first and chat while we eat."
Xu Wanshan led Xu Qingsui into a high-end restaurant in a gentlemanly manner. The environment inside was quiet, which was his usual style.
"Senior Brother Xu's preferences remain the same as before." Xu Qingsui said with emotion.
"As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. Preferences are engraved in one's character and will not change easily," Xu Wanshan said humorously.
After ordering the dishes, Xu Wanshan did not ask Xu Qingsui about his overseas life over the years. He had more or less learned some things from Qin Fang. He asked, "Now that you are back, what are you going to do?"
"Isn't this a way to contact you?" Xu Qingsui felt a little ashamed: "I wonder if Senior Brother is still willing to take me with him?"
Because of the childbirth, the restoration work of the ancient tomb of the King of Qin in the North was only half completed, and the rest was all given to Xu Wanshan. Even now, when Xu Qingsui thinks back on this incident, he feels ashamed.
For people like them, the most important thing is to see things through to the end. People like her who give up halfway will be despised by the industry.
"It's great that you are willing to cooperate with me. Why are you being polite?" Xu Wanshan said happily, "The museum here has a batch of defective collections and asked me to come over to do the restoration work. I was just worried that no one would help me, and you came to me. God really helps me!"
Whenever talking about work, Xu Wanshan seemed to open up his chatterbox. Even during meals, he would talk with Xu Qingsui about the cultural relics that needed to be restored this time.
Before they knew it, it was already dark and the food was getting cold. The two of them had almost finished eating and had almost finished talking about the topic.
"It's a little late today. I'll take you home first. When you report to the museum tomorrow, I'll tell you in detail." Xu Wanshan glanced at the time, put away the tablet, and called the waiter to settle the bill.
"Brother Xu, you don't have to see me off. I drove here. You go first. I'm going to the bathroom." Xu Qingsui was embarrassed to let him see him off.
Xu Wanshan nodded, remembering that he had something to do at the museum, so he agreed with Xu Qingsui: "Alright, let me know when you get home and drive carefully."
"Okay." After coming out of the box, the two went their separate ways.
Xu Qingsui went to the toilet and came to the public restroom to wash his hands. At this time, a man was helping another man walk to the men's restroom.
"Boss Huo, be careful!"
Mr. Huo?
Xu Qingsui's heart suddenly tightened. She looked up abruptly and saw the two men in the mirror. Even though one of them had his head lowered and half of his face was blocked by the other man, she still recognized him at a glance.
This face had appeared in her dreams countless times.
She stood there in a daze, not daring to blink, and her breathing became shallow.
The man walked to the door of the men's restroom, and suddenly stopped as if he sensed something, then slowly turned his head.
Xu Qingsui didn't know what was wrong with her. The moment he turned his head, she immediately covered her face with her bag and ran into the women's restroom.
The moment the door closed, the sound of her heartbeat was like thunder. She pressed her back against the door, slowly slid down, and squatted on the ground.
After so many years, they met in this way, but she became a coward and didn't even have the courage to face him.
I don't know how long she squatted in the toilet. Xu Qingsui gradually calmed down. She stood up, thinking that he must have left, then she opened the door, limped out with her numb legs.
However, the moment she walked out of the women's restroom, she was frightened by the people blocking the door and stood there in a daze.
When she tried to escape again, he quickly grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
"Xu Qingsui, where else do you want to escape to?" He opened his thin lips slightly and whispered in her ear. His tone was so light, but every word hit her heart like a heavy hammer.
Xu Qingsui's whole body was stiff and he could only lower his head, wishing he could bury his head in his neck.
And he obviously didn't intend to let her go easily, his slender fingers gently slid down her cheek.
Xu Qingsui's body couldn't help but tremble. Finally, his cold fingers stopped on her chin, and then he applied a little force, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes.
His eyes were as dark and deep as ever, like a deep pool that was about to sweep her in.
