Chapter 289 Escape
Compared to the ridiculous thing that Huo Xilin was threatened, Xu Qingsui's explanation of the latter was definitely more reasonable.
He just didn't care about her. She just wanted to hear the truth, but he was still just being perfunctory.
"Although I am more capable and wealthy than ordinary people, I am just an ordinary person after all, and there will be times when I am helpless. Qingsui, I am not a god, do you understand?" Pain appeared in Huo Xilin's eyes.
This was the first time Xu Qingsui saw such a look of dejection on his face.
She suddenly became very curious about what kind of things and people could make Huo Xilin feel helpless and deeply frustrated.
Apart from Yan Xisui, she couldn't think of anyone else.
Suddenly, a guess came to his mind. He said Yan Xisui was not important, but why was he threatened by Yan Xisui again and again?
If there is no love between the two people, and Huo Xilin is still willing to compromise with Yan Xisui, it must be because she knows his secret.
But this is the secret that Huo Xilin doesn't want others to know. What kind of secret can threaten Huo Xilin?
"Mr. Huo, does this matter that you are unable to do anything about have anything to do with me?" Xu Qingsui suddenly asked.
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment. He stared at her blankly, as if thinking about how to answer her question. In the end, he remained silent.
And silence is the best answer.
"What's the matter? Can you tell me?" She asked carefully with expectation.
"Sorry, I can't." Huo Xilin ruthlessly broke her fantasy.
"Then can I ask you another question?" Xu Qingsui still didn't give up.
Huo Xilin nodded: "Ask."
"Did we know each other when we were kids?" She had asked him this question many times, but he either denied it, hesitated, or just asked her if she remembered something.
In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she still hoped that he would tell her the answer in person.
"Why do you suddenly ask this question again?" Huo Xilin's eyes flickered, not daring to look directly at Xu Qingsui's eyes. He said calmly and strongly: "Didn't I answer you before? We don't know each other."
"You once promised me that you wouldn't lie to me. Does that still count?" Xu Qingsui didn't know what he was expecting. He already had the answer in his heart and knew that he was lying, but he was still willing to give him chances again and again.
Huo Xilin fell silent. He no longer had the confidence he had before.
Suddenly a phone call came in. He took it out quickly as if relieved, and answered it in front of Xu Qingsui as if he was avoiding something.
After hastily hanging up the phone, he said to Xu Qingsui: "Something happened in the company. I'll go deal with it first. If there's anything else, we can talk when I come back."
After saying that, he picked up his coat which was still on the sofa and ran out of the door.
The sound of a door closing echoed throughout the hall, followed by silence.
Xu Qingsui lay on the sofa, looking at the empty room, just like his own mood at the moment.
By the afternoon, Huo Xilin still hadn't answered. Xu Qingsui knew that he might not come back today. He deliberately avoided her and didn't want to answer her questions, thinking that if he avoided her today, she wouldn't ask again afterwards.
Yes, she didn't plan to ask again.
After changing her clothes, she went to the supermarket to buy some things to take away, and then went to pick up Xu Youyou from school.
She went there early, and Xu Youyou was still drawing. Xu Qingsui watched his son drawing seriously from the window. In order not to disturb him, he walked to a chair in the corridor and sat down. He took out his cell phone and planned to confirm the time for Tang Cheng to return.
Suddenly a text message popped up. It was a MMS sent from an unfamiliar number. At first, Xu Qingsui didn't pay much attention to it. She clicked it casually, but was stunned when she saw the photo.
Huo Xilin and Yan Xisui were seen hugging each other, his hand on her waist, his head tilted so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Yan Xisui rested her face on his shoulder, smiling happily.
He glanced at the time when the text message was sent, and it was just now, which means that Huo Xilin and Yan Xisui are together now.
Didn't he go to work in the company?
Is this what he calls going to work?
Xu Qingsui wiped the corners of his eyes and turned off his phone. He clearly told himself not to care about it, but why did his heart still hurt so much?
"Qingsui?" Lin Wan saw Xu Qingsui sitting in the corridor from afar and walked over quickly: "Why don't you come to my office to find me when you come?"
Afraid that Lin Wan would notice something was wrong, Xu Qingsui quickly pretended nothing had happened and smiled at her: "I know you're busy, and I'm afraid to disturb you."
"When did we become polite to each other?" Lin Wan rolled his eyes speechlessly, and suddenly found that Xu Qingsui's eyes were red, obviously he had just cried.
She quickly asked: "Who bullied you?"
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "No one bullies me, why do you ask?"
"No one is bullying you, why are you crying?"
Xu Qingsui smiled helplessly. As expected, nothing could deceive Lin Wan's eyes. The two had been friends for many years and had walked through the most difficult times together. They were not blood sisters but were better than blood sisters.
"Did Huo Xilin bully you? What did that scumbag do again? I'm going to find her!" Lin Wan was angrily going to find Huo Xilin.
Xu Qingsui quickly pulled her back and said, "No, I just thought that I will be leaving tomorrow and I can't bear to leave you." She quickly made up an excuse to coax Lin Wan.
"Really?" Lin Wan asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's true. I came to pick up Youyou today even though I was planning to tell you about it." Xu Qingsui had already made plans. If Huo Xilin didn't come back tonight, she would take her son and leave tonight. By the time he found out tomorrow, she would have already arrived at her destination.
Seeing that Xu Qingsui looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, Lin Wan finally felt relieved and asked, "Are you really planning to take Youyou away with you? Will that scumbag in your family agree?"
"I plan to take Youyou and leave quietly." Xu Qingsui did not intend to hide it from Lin Wan. Anyway, she told Lin Wan the truth from the beginning.
"Do you need my help?" Lin Wan didn't ask any more questions, but just considered Xu Qingsui and said.
"I have a flight ticket for tonight. I will tell Huo Xilin that my son and I will stay in the courtyard tonight. If he comes to look for someone, you can help me delay time. If he doesn't, forget it." Xu Qingsui said.
"Okay!" Lin Wan glanced at the time. Asked: "Have you booked the flight? Have you prepared your things?"
"I'll book it right away." Xu Qingsui said, then took out his mobile phone and started checking the flight information.
