Chapter 262: Remembering a Vengeance
Huo Xilin was speechless.
The girl is holding a grudge against him and it seems that she won't forgive him for a while.
"I'm sorry for what happened today, but whether you believe me or not, I still want to defend myself. I really didn't know I would run into Yan Xisui and her son."
"Today is a coincidence, then was meeting that day also a coincidence?" Xu Qingsui asked disappointedly.
Huo Xilin had no way to refute, he could only shake his head honestly: "No."
"You admitted that you went to see her on purpose. If that's the case, why did you lie to me before? You clearly promised me that you would not meet her again!"
She put aside all her prejudices and mustered up the courage to choose to be with him again, but in the end it was just a joke.
She is a complete fool.
"I really haven't seen her before." Huo Xilin explained for himself.
Ever since he broke off the engagement, there had been no contact between him and Yan Xisui. He had achieved his goal, so there was no need for him to see Yan Xisui again.
Xu Qingsui sneered: "Do you think I will trust you again?"
Huo Xilin was helpless and said, "You can ask the people around me. There has been no woman around me for the past three years. I just hope you can come back."
There were so many things that he could only keep in his heart but could not tell her.
"The people around you can monitor you all the time. Don't you find it funny when you say that?"
No matter what he said, Xu Qingsui could find reasons to refute it.
"I will never do anything to let you down. Time will prove everything." Huo Xilin said word by word: "Qingsui, you are the most important person to me in this world. No one can compare to your position in my heart. You will understand one day."
He had said the same thing to her many times.
In the past, she would believe him every time he said it and would secretly rejoice in it, but now, when she hears it again, she only feels irony.
She didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him, so she took off the necklace from her neck and asked, "Why do you have this?"
Huo Xilin's face flashed with an unnatural look, and then he said, "You forgot, I once told you that when I bought your courtyard, I went in and this necklace happened to be placed next to your photo. I thought it must be yours, so I kept it."
Was the necklace placed with the photo?
She remembered that the necklace was taken away by her grandmother. Because it was too valuable, her grandmother was afraid that she would lose it, so she offered to keep it for her.
Grandma was always very thoughtful in doing things. Such valuable items would definitely be placed in the safe, and her photo was placed in the drawer of the room, so she was sure that Huo Xilin was lying.
"You're lying. The necklace wasn't even placed with the photo. Tell me, where did you get it from?"
The more Xu Qingsui thought about it, the more horrified he became. Could the Huo family have been responsible for what happened back then?
Looking back now, everything that happened after I met Huo Xilin was so suspicious.
Not only did he have the property certificate of the courtyard, he also had her photo and now even the necklace. If he took out something else tomorrow, Xu Qingsui would not be surprised anymore.
Huo Xilin smiled bitterly. She didn't expect Xu Qingsui's memory to be so good. She remembered everything about her childhood clearly, except the person she once said she would never forget.
"How did you get this necklace?" Xu Qingsui asked coldly.
"I really found it in the house. If you don't believe it, just forget it." Obviously, Huo Xilin didn't want to talk about this issue too much.
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom, looking like he was trying to avoid the question.
Xu Qingsui suddenly stopped him and asked, "Did we know each other when we were kids?"
Huo Xilin's steps suddenly stopped and his back stiffened for a moment. Because his back was facing Xu Qingsui, she could not see the shock and undisguised ecstasy on his face.
At this moment, Huo Xilin was more nervous than ever before. He tried hard to adjust his emotions. When he turned around again, he was calmer. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you ask that? Do you remember anything?"
"Did we really know each other when we were kids?" Xu Qingsui frowned after hearing what Huo Xilin said, and continued to ask, "When did it happen? Why don't I have any impression of you at all?"
Huo Xilin's heart was completely hanging. He smiled bitterly, it turned out that it was a trick.
He shook his head: "No, we never knew each other."
"Then why did you ask me just now if I remembered anything?" Xu Qingsui was determined to get to the bottom of it. The more Huo Xilin tried to hide the truth, the more curious she became about him.
"I knew you when you were a child, but you didn't know me." Seeing that Xu Qingsui was still holding on, Huo Xilin let go and spoke.
Under Xu Qingsui's puzzled gaze, Huo Xilin slowly said, "My mother and your grandmother are old acquaintances. Many of our collections were entrusted to your grandmother for restoration, so I have seen you, but you were still young at that time, and it was a fleeting encounter, so it's normal that you don't remember me."
Xu Qingsui could not find any fault with his words, but it was precisely because of this that she felt anxious.
There is still no clue about her parents' car accident. She once heard her grandfather's friend, who was asked to get information from him, say outside the study: Lao Xu, just consider yourself unlucky and don't investigate the matter any further, even for the sake of the two children. The other party is powerful and influential, and there may not be a second family in the country that can compete with him. If you continue to investigate, you will definitely get into trouble.
From then on, my grandparents were depressed every day and never mentioned the death of my parents in a car accident.
Looking back now, the Huo family is powerful and there is no rival that can contend with them across the country. Is there anyone else besides the Huo family?
But this is just her guess after all. She must find out the real reason for her parents' car accident!
She hoped that she had misunderstood Huo Xilin and the Huo family.
Seeing Xu Qingsui silent and seemingly thinking about something, Huo Xilin felt a little worried and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingsui suddenly came back to his senses. Fearing that he might see through her, he shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll trust you for now. I hope you won't lie to me. If one day I find out that you lied to me, I will never forgive you!"
"What if it's a white lie?" Huo Xilin thought for a moment and asked hesitantly.
"What white lie? Do you mean you are lying to me?"
Huo Xilin just smiled, neither denied nor admitted it, and turned to go to the bathroom.
Xu Qingsui was conflicted and in pain, and judging by his reaction, he must know something.
