Chapter 227 Showdown
"You seem very happy?" Xu Qingsui was speechless and even doubted whether this was his deliberate plan.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go pick up our son." Huo Xilin quickly comforted.
When the two arrived, it was just time to go home from school. After taking the child from the teacher and making sure that he was not affected, Xu Qingsui finally felt relieved.
When the three of them returned to the courtyard, Xu Di and Lin Wan had not returned yet.
"When my brother and the others come back, let's go out for dinner tonight. I'll book a restaurant." Huo Xilin said and was about to pick up the phone to make arrangements.
"Forget it, let's eat at home. I'm afraid I can't go out today." Xu Qingsui understood Xu Di's temper. His likes and dislikes were very distinct. He felt uncomfortable being with people he disliked. He was afraid that he would never eat at the same table with Huo Xilin until the misunderstanding was resolved.
Xu Qingsui was very troubled about how to ease the relationship between the two.
"Okay, I'll go buy some groceries first and I'll cook tonight." Huo Xilin said and went out.
Knowing that Xu Qingsui would be back tonight, Xu Di and Lin Wan also returned home early. Unfortunately, when they reached the door of their house, they saw Huo Xilin walking in carrying large and small bags of things.
Brother Xu's expression immediately changed. He pointed at Huo Xilin and rushed forward: "How dare you come to our house? Do you think that no one supports my sister?"
Xu Qingsui and Lin Wan were both startled, and they worked together to stop him.
"Sister, why is he here?" Brother Xu asked angrily.
Xu Qingsui didn't know how to explain. At this moment, he only heard Huo Xilin say, "I'm your brother-in-law. Tell me whether I should come or not."
"What?" Brother Xu couldn't believe his ears and laughed out loud: "How dare you be my brother-in-law? You divorced my sister three years ago. Your wife should be the woman who cheated on you. Her name is Yan Xisui, right?"
Xu Qingsui closed her eyes in despair. It had only been three years. Where had her gentle and polite brother gone?
After the curse, there was deathly silence.
After a long while, Brother Xu turned around and looked at Xu Qingsui, and asked, "Sister, is what he said true? Are you remarried?"
Xu Qingsui nodded helplessly.
"When did it happen?" Xu Di asked in disbelief, "Why don't I know about it?"
"Just yesterday..." Xu Qingsui said in a low voice, like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to look Xu Di in the eyes.
There was deathly silence again.
"What's so good about him that you can't stop thinking about him?" At this moment, Brother Xu didn't seem like a younger brother at all. Instead, he looked like an old father who was worried about his father.
"He's very good and has helped our family a lot. He paid for your previous surgery and also paid for it..."
"So you are with him to repay him, right?" Xu Di said cautiously, "If that's the case, we will pay back what we owe him. We will give him everything he wants, but not you! Sister, you are my only relative. You and Lin Wan are the most important people in the world to me. If my health has to be exchanged for your lifelong happiness, then I would rather die!"
"Don't talk nonsense. What's the use of life or death?" Xu Qingsui was most afraid that something might happen to his brother Xu.
They have been dependent on each other and have grown up together, so naturally their friendship is closer than that of ordinary siblings.
"I chose to be with him again, not because of repaying a favor..." Before Xu Qingsui could finish his words, Xu Youyou pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom.
"Uncle, Mommy, are you guys arguing?" Xu Youyou walked up to them and said, "Don't argue. The teacher said that we need to be calm when solving problems. Arguing won't solve the problem."
Seeing Xu Youyou, Xu Di's expression softened. He squatted down, rubbed the little guy's head, and then said, "Uncle and Mommy didn't quarrel. We were just discussing something and our voices were a little loud."
He raised his head and looked at Xu Qingsui, then at the little guy, and then at Huo Xilin, as if he understood something.
In the adult world, there are many things that are beyond our control.
"Come with me." Xu Di stood up, talked to Huo Xilin, then turned and went into the studio.
Huo Xilin put his things down and was about to follow Brother Xu in, but Xu Qingsui pulled him back and said, "I'll go talk to my brother."
He patted her hands and gave her a reassuring look: "I'll go." After that, Huo Xilin calmly walked into the studio and closed the door.
Xu Qingsui stared closely and listened to the noise inside with her ears perked up. She felt very anxious and uneasy. She was really worried that the two would have a conflict, and she was even more worried that Xu Di would attack Huo Xilin.
Lin Wan patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. Brother Xu's health has improved a lot in recent years. He hasn't even taken medicine recently. Every time he goes for a checkup, the results are getting better and better. It's good to let them talk. It may be a good thing to talk about some things. You are remarried. You will see each other every day in the future. You have to solve the problem, right?"
Xu Qingsui understood this logic, but she was still worried.
After looking at Xu Youyou, Lin Wan carried him back to the room: "Youyou, be good. Auntie has something to say to your mommy."
Xu Youyou was very sensible and nodded: "Then you can't quarrel."
"knew."
After closing the door, Lin Wan said to Xu Qingsui, "You and Huo Xilin were too impulsive to remarry. I know you wanted to give your child a complete home, but it is for the sake of the child that you should think it through."
Xu Qingsui understood Lin Wan's concerns for her, she smiled and said, "It's not all for the child, I am willing to do it myself."
"How can you jump into the same fire pit twice?" Xu Di didn't know what happened back then, but Lin Wan knew it.
"Can you guarantee that he is sincere to you and doesn't just treat you as a substitute for Yan Xisui?" Lin Wan regretted it after saying this: "Sorry, me too...ah..."
"I understand." Xu Qingsui remembered the name he heard from Huo Xilin in his dream last night.
Just like Lin Wan said, she jumped into the same fire pit twice.
Xu Qingsui whispered, "You and your brother have urged me to be with Brother Qin over the years. I also know that he treats me very well, but I can't go against my own heart. Huo Xilin is like taking root and sprouting in my heart. He can't be removed from my heart."
"When I returned to China this time, I never thought about getting involved with him again, but we just happened to meet. Maybe it was fate given by God. He didn't have a wife, and I didn't get married. For the sake of my children and myself, I want to try again, even if I have to repeat the same mistakes, I will accept it."
Sometimes the road of life seems to have choices, but in fact it is a dead end, just like her and Huo Xilin.
