Chapter 309 No Mutual Trust
While Xu Qingsui was taking care of Xu Youyou while he ate breakfast, he patiently explained to him, "Dad went on a business trip to the south and won't be back for a few days."
Xu Youyou took the fork, easily poked an egg into her mouth, and put it in her mouth very neatly, showing extraordinary elegance at such a young age.
Aunt Wang came out with stewed bird's nest and said happily: "Our young master really looks like Mr. Huo. Even his eating movements are the same. It's exactly the same as when he was a child!"
Xu Qingsui seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, when did you start taking care of Mr. Huo?"
"I started taking care of him as soon as he was born. I even took care of Mrs. Huo during her confinement. We are of similar age and sometimes we can still talk to each other. Mrs. Huo also trusts me very much. After she finished her confinement, she was busy with work and almost left the care of Mr. Huo to me."
Xu Qingsui nodded after listening to this: "So, Aunt Wang, you have been in the Huo family for more than 20 years?"
"Yes, to be exact, but I have been with Madam Huo for thirty years. I graduated from high school but didn't get into college, so I went out to work. My first job was as a salesperson, but then the economic crisis hit and the mall closed down, so I lost my job. By chance, I joined a housekeeping company. They said this line of work was profitable, and I was lucky. I worked hard and got a certificate. The boss of the housekeeping company had a good relationship with Madam Huo's family, so he asked him to find some reliable nannies and security guards. Seeing that I was steady, the boss recommended me to the company. Later, when Madam Huo got married, I followed her to the Huo family and stayed there for more than twenty years."
Talking about the past, Aunt Wang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
She is already over fifty years old. Looking back on the first half of her life, she doesn’t know what would have happened if she had not come to the Huo family.
She was really lucky to have met such good bosses like Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo. After spending a long time together, they gradually became like family.
Now there was Mrs. Huo and the young master, both of whom were polite to her and never treated her as a servant.
"Have you been taking care of Mr. Huo all this time?" Xu Qingsui continued to ask.
Aunt Wang shook her head and said, "I only took care of Mr. Huo until he was three years old. Later, Mrs. Huo and Boss Huo quarreled every day, so Mr. Huo took Mr. Huo away. We were separated for several years. It was not until Boss Huo passed away that Mrs. Huo took Mr. Huo back to her side. Then I stayed with Mr. Huo and took care of his daily life."
"You mean Mr. Huo lived with Grandpa Huo after he was three years old?"
Aunt Wang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Huo is an antique lover and doesn't like doing business very much. Since he handed over the company to Mrs. Huo and her husband, he has become a hands-off boss. He gets together with his friends to talk about antiques when he has nothing to do, and the rest of the time he takes care of Mr. Huo."
"Then do they also live in the Huo family's old house?" Xu Qingsui heard Aunt Wang say that Grandpa Huo had taken Huo Xilin away. Since he was taken away, they must not be living in the old house, right?
Sure enough, Aunt Wang shook her head after hearing her question: "No, Mr. Huo has a house in the city center, and he brought Mr. Huo to live there."
After hearing this, Xu Qingsui actually had a bad guess.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Huo Xilin also lived in the city center when he was a child. Could it be that his house is very close to where she lives?
Also, Mr. Huo is an antique lover, and Mrs. Huo also knows her grandparents. Is it possible that there is really some grudge between the Huo family and the Xu family?
Is it related to the Lu family?
At the beginning, the Lu family was unable to defeat the Xu family with its strength, but what if the Huo family's strength was added?
That would be a piece of cake!
There seemed to be a fog in Xu Qingsui's mind. He seemed to be able to make out something vaguely in front of him, but unfortunately the fog was getting thicker and thicker, so thick that he could not see anything clearly.
Her head started to hurt again. Aunt Wang noticed something was wrong and quickly walked over to ask, "Mrs. Huo, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?"
Xu Qingsui shook his head, and the pain soon disappeared: "Auntie Wang, I'm fine, I just have an old headache, which comes and goes quickly."
Ever since the incident in the Xu family, she often had headaches, but every time she went to the hospital for a check-up, the result was nothing, and they just couldn't find the cause of the disease.
"How come you have headaches at such a young age? Have you had a check-up?" Aunt Wang asked worriedly.
"I checked it out, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong."
"Doctors in hospitals nowadays use instruments to do examinations. If Western medicine can't find the cause, why not go see an old Chinese doctor? It's not a good idea to always be in pain. Does Mr. Huo know about this?"
"Don't let him know. I'll go find an old Chinese doctor to see him some other day."
Xu Qingsui repeatedly reminded her, "Auntie Wang, don't tell him about this. He has a lot of things to do. If he knows, he will make a fuss. I'm afraid that domestic doctors won't be able to find the cause of the disease, and he will have to call in foreign experts. If there is a disease, it will definitely be found out. But I've been to different hospitals for many years and had many tests, and the final results are the same. They all say that headaches are not caused by the body. Maybe it's due to some external stimulation. Anyway, that's what the doctor told me."
After hearing what Xu Qingsui said, Aunt Wang had no choice but to give up the idea.
"That's fine, as long as you're not sick. If you really feel unwell, you still have to tell Mr. Huo. You are husband and wife. Aren't husband and wife supposed to support each other, take care of each other, and trust each other?"
Even Aunt Wang understood this truth, so how could Huo Xilin not understand it?
It’s a pity that they only help each other but don’t trust each other.
However, in order to prevent Aunt Wang from noticing anything unusual, she could only pretend that nothing had happened and nodded to Aunt Wang with a smile: "Okay."
After a quick dinner, Xu Qingsui was in a hurry to go to work, and left the task of taking the little one to class to Aunt Wang.
As soon as I arrived at the company, I received a text message from Huo Xilin saying that he had arrived.
After turning off the phone and discussing the repair matters with Tang Cheng, the two started their day's work.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I was working on the coloring last night. Xu Qingsui rubbed his stiff neck and took off his work clothes.
"Tang Cheng, let's do the rest tomorrow. I'm off work today."
"Okay, Sister Xu, I'll wash the brush first, otherwise I won't be able to do it tomorrow. You go back first, I'll close the door in a while." Tang Cheng said as he walked towards the bathroom.
Xu Qingsui didn't say anything else. He took out his cell phone from his bag and walked out.
