Chapter 304 Care
Looking back now, his answer was full of loopholes. He must have been hiding something from me and was afraid to let me know.
The truth seems to be about to emerge.
Xu Qingsui knew very well that as long as he went to investigate, he would fall into the trap set by Yan Xisui and Qin Wei.
But, that was about her parents. Knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, she had to go there.
Putting aside the grudge between the Xu and Huo families, at least she should have the right to know the truth, rather than being kept in the dark for her whole life.
Her parents and grandparents are all dead, and she and her younger brother are the only ones left in the entire Xu family. Precisely because of this, the truth is particularly important to her.
What kind of secrets does Huo Xilin hide?
The phone rang, Xu Qingsui picked it up and saw that it was Huo Xilin calling.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to answer the call.
A familiar voice came from the other side: "Qingsui, are you off work? My son and I have arrived at the museum parking lot."
She tried her best to remain calm and pretend that nothing had happened, and said to him, "I'm getting off work soon. You and your son should wait for me in the parking lot. I'll go find you."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, put the photos into her backpack, then stood up and walked towards the parking lot.
She saw his car from a distance. Huo Xilin was not sitting in the car, but standing next to it. When she looked at him, his eyes also met hers.
He walked towards her and tried to take the backpack from her shoulders. Xu Qingsui subconsciously refused: "No need."
At this moment, she was like a frightened bird, probably because she was afraid that he would find the photos in her backpack.
Before the truth came out, Xu Qingsui didn't want him to know about this matter, in case he covered up the truth and stopped her from finding out.
"What's wrong?" Huo Xilin suddenly became nervous and said cautiously: "Haven't we reconciled yet?"
Why did she feel resistant to me again after just a few hours of separation?
Huo Xilin couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.
Moreover, Xu Qingsui was not heading towards the museum just now, so it was obvious that she had been out.
Afraid that Huo Xilin would notice something was wrong, Xu Qingsui quickly shook his head, smiled at him, and said as if nothing had happened, "It's okay."
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Huo Xilin's eyes became sharp, as if he could see through her. He asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Xu Qingsui's heart skipped a beat, and he was afraid that he would notice something unusual, so he quickly made an excuse: "I went out to buy some things, what's wrong?"
Huo Xilin stared at her for a while. Xu Qingsui withstood the pressure and looked directly into his eyes, without choosing to avoid them.
In the end, he gave in and softened his expression: "Let's go, I have an appointment with the receptionist, let's go see the school first."
Xu Qingsui nodded and got into the car with him.
Xu Youyou was sitting in the back seat. When she saw Xu Qingsui getting in the car, she happily shouted, "Mommy!"
Xu Qingsui turned around and saw his son playing with toys, which were Legos, filling the back seat.
"Who bought it for you?" she asked.
"My dad bought it for me. It's so fun!" At this age, Xu Youyou was at the age when her brain was developing and she was curious about everything.
"Can you play?"
"Yes!" Xu Youyou puffed out her chest and said proudly, "My father has already guided me in the company today."
I didn't expect that he would find time to play games with his son despite his busy schedule.
Xu Qingsui was very touched and turned to Huo Xilin and said, "Thank you."
Huo Xilin naturally understood what she meant by thank you.
"He is my son. I am willing to do anything for you and your son. You don't need to thank me. It will make me very sad." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui while driving.
If Yan Xisui and her son had not appeared, Xu Qingsui believed that he would definitely be a good father and even a good husband.
But what is the purpose of his good deeds?
Xu Qingsui involuntarily recalled their first meeting. He told her that they seemed familiar and directly put forward the conditions for a fake marriage.
After they were together, he took great care of her and her family. How could he do such a thing to a stranger?
When he came back this time, the contract they signed for remarriage transferred almost all the real estate and cash under his name to her name. Why did he do this?
If he had thought of her as a substitute for Yan Xisui at the beginning, he now hated Yan Xisui to the extreme. Seeing that his appearance was somewhat similar to Yan Xisui, he did not vent his anger on her. Apart from the deception, he did only better than he did three years ago.
Maybe there is love for her in this, but is there really no compensatory psychology of guilt mixed in it?
Seeing Xu Qingsui's unhappy expression in the rearview mirror, Huo Xilin had discovered that something was wrong with her, but she insisted on pretending that nothing was wrong, so he didn't ask too much. Now sitting in the car, her thoughts were drifting away, and he didn't know what she was thinking about.
Huo Xilin wanted to ask her privately after returning, or find someone to find out what happened today, but any of her actions touched his heart, and he really couldn't wait any longer, so he asked: "Did you encounter any unpleasant things at work today?"
Huo Xilin's voice brought Xu Qingsui back to her senses, and she quickly replied, "No, everything is fine."
"So what were you thinking about?"
Xu Qingsui didn't expect that Huo Xilin was paying attention to her every move while driving. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
She knew that he would not give up unless she gave him a reason and would definitely ask questions, so she made up an excuse and said, "I was just thinking about restoring the ancient painting. This ancient painting is so precious. It is the treasure of the museum and cannot be damaged in the slightest. So I am under a lot of pressure."
"Really?" Huo Xilin was a little unconvinced.
"Yeah, what do you think I'm thinking?"
Huo Xilin jokingly whispered: "Maybe she is thinking about other men."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She quickly turned around to look at her son and made sure that he was concentrating on studying Lego and had not heard the conversation between the adults. Only then did she feel relieved.
She turned her head and rolled her eyes at Huo Xilin, then said angrily, "Can you please stop talking nonsense in front of your son?"
Huo Xilin immediately realized his mistake and quickly admitted it: "I'm sorry, I will pay more attention next time. I just saw that you were worried, so I wanted you to relax and not put too much pressure on yourself."
