Chapter 313 Childhood Sweethearts
"You're lying. I don't even know Huo Xilin. How could I be his childhood sweetheart?"
"That's because you lost your memory in the car accident. You were so shocked that you forgot all the memories about him." After Lu Jingyu said this, he took out a photo from his trouser pocket and threw it in front of Xu Qingsui.
She picked it up and looked at the two little people in the photo, but her mind went blank.
Yes, the little girl above is her, and the other little boy is Huo Xilin. The yard where the photo was taken is the small yard today. She even remembers the potted plants at the door clearly. They are her grandmother’s favorite jasmine flowers. In the photo, she has pigtails, and Huo Xilin is inserting blooming white jasmine flowers into her pigtails.
Her head hurt so much, as if it was going to explode. Some scattered memories seemed to flood into her mind, but when she tried to recall them carefully, she could not remember anything.
Cold sweat broke out from the corners of his forehead. After a long time, the pain gradually subsided. Xu Qingsui collapsed on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.
She still couldn't remember anything, but she was now certain that she must have lost some memory, which was precisely the cause of her headache.
But she didn't completely believe Lu Jingyu's words, because they were full of loopholes.
If this car accident was really planned by the Huo family, they would not have taken the risk because Huo Xilin was also in the car at the time. How could they guarantee that Huo Xilin would not be harmed and that her parents would not die at the same time?
Unless they wanted Huo Xilin to die as well, or Huo Xilin was involved in this matter and got out of the car with an excuse before the incident, the details of the matter are probably only known to Huo Xilin.
But why did she survive?
What exactly happened back then?
"How do you know all this? You were still young at that time. Would your grandfather let you participate?" Xu Qingsui calmed down and asked Lu Jingyu.
"I was indeed still young at that time, and my grandfather would not let me get involved. But don't forget that I am his only grandson. Do you think he would not tell me about the grudge between our two families?"
What he said made sense, and Xu Qingsui couldn't refute it.
"How much do you know about the details of the car accident? Why did my parents die, but Huo Xilin, who was also in the car, survived?"
"I'm not sure about the details, but maybe there's someone who can answer your questions."
"Who?" Xu Qingsui asked hurriedly.
"Huo Xilin's father's extramarital lover, Ms. Zhou." Lu Jingyu revealed a name.
Xu Qingsui remembered that she had met that woman once at a private exhibition. It was also at that time that Old Madam Huo changed her opinion of her and accepted her as the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
"Ms. Zhou is just a lover of Huo Xilin's father. She is not a member of the Huo family. What does this matter have to do with her?" Xu Qingsui asked puzzledly.
"Of course it has something to do with her, because she is the woman that Huo Xilin's father loves the most. She knows everything about the Huo family. On the contrary, Madam Huo was kept in the dark because Huo Xilin's father originally planned to divorce Madam Huo and marry this lover. They planned this car accident together with my grandfather. Of course, my grandfather told me these things after I grew up. As for whether it is true, you can investigate it yourself. I have already given you the witnesses and evidence."
"Why are you telling me all this? What's the benefit for you?" Xu Qingsui knew very well that he had other purposes, and she was not stupid enough to be so self-righteous as to think that he was helping her.
"It's very simple, because I just want to see you suffer. You think you have found the love of your life, and you have power and influence and can live a good life as a rich wife, but you don't know that the person who stays with you is the enemy who killed your parents. Whether you choose to be with him or separate from him in the end, you will suffer for the rest of your life. I have suffered so much, why should you live a good life?"
Lu Jingyu's smile was full of pride. Looking at Xu Qingsui's stunned and painful expression, the resentment in his heart for many years seemed to be released.
He patted Xu Qingsui's face hard and said, "Remember, I will come to collect the money on time at 10 o'clock tomorrow night. If you are not here, or some irrelevant people come, none of your family will be safe!"
With that, he stood up, pulled his hat down over his face, and left.
Xu Qingsui didn't know how long she sat in the silent parking lot. Lu Jingyu's words kept echoing in her mind, making her unable to digest them.
She looked at the two little people in the photo and couldn't understand why Huo Xilin lied to her. It was obvious that the two had known each other since childhood, but he said that they didn't know each other.
Now she finally understood why she had a sense of déjà vu when she saw Huo Xilin, and why the look in Huo Xilin's eyes when he first saw her was as if he was looking at another person through her. She originally thought that he was looking at Yan Xisui through her, but in fact, that was not the case. The time they had known each other was no shorter than the time they had known Yan Xisui.
There was also the photo of her when she was a child that he had put behind the photo frame. He had bought the Xu family's courtyard... and the necklace that he had given her. The necklace that the bear doll had given her on her birthday when she was a child...
This time, Xu Qingsui figured out all the things that he couldn't explain before.
Why is this happening?
How many things had he lied to her about?
Xu Qingsui knew clearly that even if she put these photos in front of Huo Xilin, he would still find countless reasons to deceive her.
He chose to marry me and treated her so well because of their childhood friendship, because of his love for her, but more because of guilt, right?
Just as Lu Jingyu said, when she knew the truth, whether she chose to continue to be with Huo Xilin, or to find out the truth, expose him and then separate, no matter what she chose, she would be extremely painful and would never be able to let it go for the rest of her life.
Lu Jingyu's goal was to make her live in pain, and he did it.
As time passed, Xu Qingsui had forgotten where she was and where her home was. Her mind was full of thoughts about what to do in the future, but she had no answer and no one could give her an answer.
The phone rang again and again. Xu Qingsui sat in a daze in the corner and chose to ignore it. After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice came from the garage.
"Xu Qingsui...Xu Qingsui...Qingsui..."
The voice came from far away and then got closer. She finally regained her senses and woke up suddenly. It was Huo Xilin. Why was he here?
