Chapter 315 Pain
"Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo will be back later, so let's not wait for him and eat first." As the mother and son were talking, Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming meal and said to her.
Xu Qingsui had something important to do soon, so he put the little guy down, helped Aunt Wang bring the food to the table, and then quickly ate dinner.
She said to Aunt Wang, "I have some things to deal with at work, so I'll be back later. If Mr. Huo comes back and asks about it, please help me tell him."
Aunt Wang asked doubtfully, "Mrs. Huo, wouldn't it be better if you talked to Mr. Huo about this matter in person?"
"He's busy and I don't want to disturb him." Xu Qingsui made an excuse. Just like Aunt Wang said, this kind of thing could be solved by sending a message, and there was no need for Aunt Wang to pass on the message, but she didn't want to.
Listening to Xu Qingsui's words, it seemed that there was no problem, but Aunt Wang always felt something was weird. They were already husband and wife, so were they still afraid of disturbing each other?
What's more, the two of them didn't seem so polite to each other before.
But seeing Xu Qingsui's anxious look to go out, he must be very busy at work, so Aunt Wang couldn't ask too much or say anything, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll pass on the message to Mr. Huo when he gets back."
"Thank goodness Auntie Wang for taking care of Youyou for me." Xu Qingsui changed his shoes and said to Xu Youyou who was still eating, "Mommy is leaving. You have to listen to Grandma Wang."
"I got it, Mommy." The little guy replied obediently.
Although he really wants his parents to be with him and have his mommy tell him bedtime stories like before, he is already sensible enough to understand that adults have their own things to do and cannot be with him all the time. As he is too young to help adults, the only thing he can do is to be obedient, take good care of himself, and not add burden to his parents.
Seeing her son's obedient appearance, Xu Qingsui felt very relieved and at the same time became more determined. No matter what, she would never let Lu Jingyu hurt any of her family members.
Xu Qingsui arrived at the museum's underground parking lot early. She waited in the car until almost ten o'clock, and finally saw a man in a baseball cap appear.
Of course she knew this man, it was Lu Jingyu.
Lu Jingyu looked around and made sure that there was no one around, so he walked directly towards Xu Qingsui's car.
Xu Qingsui's movement to get out of the car stopped instantly. She knew that Lu Jingyu knew her information, but she didn't expect that he even knew which car she owned so clearly.
While she was in a daze, Lu Jingyu had already walked up to her, raised his hand and knocked on the car window, signaling her to get out.
Xu Qingsui opened the car door and heard Lu Jingyu whispered, "Is the money ready?"
"Okay, how are you going to take it away?"
"Let me see." Lu Jingyu said without directly answering her question.
She opened the trunk and unpacked the bag, which was full of cash.
"Is the amount of money okay?" Lu Jingyu picked up the note, checked its authenticity, then threw it back and asked.
"Do you think I dare to give you a penny less?" Xu Qingsui said coldly.
Lu Jingyu snorted coldly and nodded with satisfaction: “I don’t think you dare.”
Then he pointed to the corner of the wall opposite the elevator and said, "See the trash can over there? Throw your stuff in there and I'll take it away later."
Xu Qingsui felt a little emotional. Lu Jingyu was indeed different from before. He would think before doing things and was no longer reckless.
But it was precisely because of this that Xu Qingsui became even more frightened. It was much more difficult to deal with him now than before.
"Okay." Xu Qingsui followed Lu Jingyu's instructions, took the bag full of money and threw it into the trash can.
After everything was done, Lu Jingyu let her go with satisfaction.
Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten her: "You didn't tell anyone about this, did you? Including the man named Huo?"
Xu Qingsui knew who he was talking about. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry. For the safety of my family, I will listen to you. But if you dare to do anything to hurt them, I will fight you to the death!"
Lu Jingyu laughed: "Now that I have a big money bag like you, how can I bear to die? As long as you are obedient and give me the money, I guarantee that none of them will be in trouble. Similarly, if you dare to play tricks, tell others about this or call the police, the day I get into trouble will be the day your family will be destroyed again!"
This was a naked threat. Although Xu Qingsui was angry, she had no other choice for the time being. She could only use money to stabilize Lu Jingyu and find out the people behind him one by one and make countermeasures.
How can we trust the words of a group of desperate criminals?
Xu Qingsui would never allow his family to be under surveillance and danger at any time and anywhere.
She suddenly remembered when she lived in Bishui Huating, one day she picked up Xu Youyou from school. When entering the community, Xu Youyou told her that someone was watching them, an uncle with a scary look in his eyes. When she looked over, there was no one across the street.
She was careless in this matter, but fortunately, her family is still safe, and Lu Jingyu only wants money. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is a small problem for the time being, and she still has time.
On the way home, Huo Xilin called: "When do you get off work? I'll pick you up."
Although his tone was gentle, his attitude was very firm. Xu Qingsui knew that he was not discussing with her, but just informing her.
She was already in a bad mood, and this feeling of oppression made her rebellious. She refused without thinking: "No, I'm already on my way home."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
When she got home, Aunt Wang and Xu Youyou were already asleep. Only Huo Xilin was sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for her.
Seeing her come in, he quickly stood up and walked towards her. Mr. Huo, who was above everyone else in the company during the day, now condescended to help her change her shoes.
Xu Qingsui felt very uncomfortable and wanted to refuse, but he had already held her feet and took the initiative to help her take off her shoes.
Watching him squatting on the ground to change his shoes, tears instantly blurred my eyes.
People are all made of flesh and blood. How could she not be moved when he did so much for her?
But what about the hidden past and truth?
The better he treated her, the more twisted and tangled she became, and the more painful it became for her.
A tear fell on his neck, and Huo Xilin stopped changing his shoes suddenly. He looked up and saw her crying. His heart ached. He stood up and wiped her tears at a loss.
