Chapter 322 Peace of Mind
In order not to worry Brother Xu, Xu Qingsui acted as if nothing had happened and said, "It's okay. What can happen to us?"
"I've always wanted to ask you what you quarreled about, but I was afraid to add to your troubles. Now that everything is fine, tell me." Brother Xu got to the bottom of it: "Why did you leave quietly with your nephew? Not only did you not tell your brother-in-law, but you even hid it from me."
"Just go to work. I've always told you to go to work." Xu Qingsui said guiltily.
"You took your nephew away for work? You didn't even see him. The night you left, your brother-in-law was almost worried to death. Fortunately, Lin Wan knew your whereabouts, otherwise he would have turned the whole place over to look for you."
Xu Qingsui was thinking about what to say to fool Xu Di, but before she could open her mouth, Xu Di suddenly asked, "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
Xu Qingsui was too guilty to look directly into Xu Di's eyes, and said cunningly: "We are siblings. If there is anything, I will definitely tell you and won't hide anything from you. Your brother-in-law and I are fine. It's really just because I was working and he happened to be very busy those days. I left him a message, but he didn't see it. He thought I ran away with the child, so he was so anxious."
Xu Di nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense. Last time you ran away to the United States quietly for three years, and this time you didn't even tell him and left with the child. It would be strange if he wasn't anxious."
"Sister, don't scare your brother-in-law like this next time. Your brother-in-law really cares about you." Brother Xu said to Xu Qingsui seriously.
"What benefits did your brother-in-law promise you? Why are you defending him so much? I remember that when I first returned to China, you didn't have this attitude towards him?" Xu Qingsui asked curiously.
Not only Lin Wan was curious about Xu Di, but Xu Qingsui was the same.
She also wanted to know what the two of them talked about in the room that day, and why Xu Di's attitude towards him changed completely since then.
"Sister, what kind of benefits do you think can impress me?" asked Xu Di.
Xu Qingsui shook his head and answered truthfully: "I don't know."
If she knew, she wouldn't have asked Xu Di.
"Sister, you usually say I'm stupid, this time it's finally my turn!" Xu Di smiled proudly and said, "Of course, only things I care about can move me. Now, there are only three people who are most important to me. One is you, one is Lin Wan, and the other is my little nephew Xu Youyou."
"He promised that I would treat you well for the rest of my life and would never betray you, so of course I changed my mind about him."
"Is it that simple?" Xu Qingsui obviously didn't believe it. Brother Xu was not someone who could be fooled by a few nice words. I was afraid that it was not just a simple promise.
"Of course!" Although his answer was convincing, his wandering eyes betrayed his guilty conscience.
The two must have reached some kind of deal, and Xu Di was unwilling to tell her about this deal.
"Okay, sister, don't ask anymore. As long as you and your brother-in-law are fine and you live a happy life, I won't worry about you."
As Xu Di said this, he pushed Xu Qingsui into the kitchen: "Sister, I haven't eaten your braised spareribs for a long time. Can you make it for me?"
I still remember that during those most difficult years in life, the best food we ate was braised pork ribs.
Although the Lu family nominally adopted the brother and sister, Xu Qingsui no longer accepted financial support from the Lu family since she went to college. She worked part-time while taking care of her younger brother and completing her studies.
The person she should be most grateful to is Lin Wan. If it weren't for Lin Wan helping her take care of her younger brother, Xu Qingsui knew that she would definitely drop out of school.
So Xu Qingsui couldn't refuse Xu Di's request to eat braised pork ribs again.
She smiled at Xu Di and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll make braised pork ribs for you."
"Then I'll help you!" After saying that, Xu Di rolled up his sleeves and was ready to take action.
As a result, Xu Qingsui and Lin Wan drove him out of the kitchen together: "Just wait and eat peacefully, don't make trouble."
Because of Brother Xu's physical condition, he can't smell the smell of cooking fumes, so he seldom goes into the kitchen.
Normally when he and Lin Wan were together, they would either eat out or hire an auntie to cook and clean the house. They almost never cooked.
This time, because Xu Qingsui came back, Lin Wan went out of her way to buy some food and interrupted her cooking in order to entertain her.
After dinner, Lin Wan asked Xu Qingsui, "How many days do you plan to stay this time?"
"About a week or so. I'll be there after I finish my work. I'm currently repairing samples, and Tang Cheng can't handle it alone."
"Since the child and Huo Xilin are not around, you can live in the small courtyard." Lin Wan said to Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui was also planning this, but when she thought of Lu Jingyu, she immediately backed down.
There must be many eyes around her watching her every move, and she couldn't let Xu Di and Lin Wan fall into danger because of herself.
So she immediately chose to refuse: "I should live in Bishui Hua Ting, mainly to facilitate my work."
Lin Wan didn't force it: "Okay, you have to take care of yourself. Call me anytime if you have anything."
Xu Qingsui nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Has anyone strange been following you recently?"
Lin Wan shook her head: "No, why are you asking this suddenly? Is someone following you?"
Hearing Lin Wan say no, Xu Qingsui felt relieved. Fearing that Lin Wan would worry, she did not tell the truth, but instead blessed her: "It's good that no one is following you. I'm just worried about your and brother Xu's safety. Haven't you watched the news recently? There have been robberies in many places, and they specifically target rich people. Anyway, you and brother Xu should pay attention to your safety."
After hearing what Xu Qingsui said, Lin Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My brother Xu and I are very low-key in everything we do. Our food, clothing, housing and transportation are just the standard of a well-off family. Don't worry, no one will target us."
Seeing that Lin Wan didn't take her words seriously, Xu Qingsui hesitated to speak, but she couldn't tell the truth and could only worry in her heart.
"Anyway, you and Brother Xu should pay attention to your safety. If you spot anyone suspicious, you must call the police immediately."
Seeing Xu Qingsui's serious expression, as if he was really worried, Lin Wan put away his smile and nodded in response: "Don't worry, my brother Xu and I will take good care of ourselves and pay attention to safety. If we find anyone suspicious, we will call the police immediately."
After getting Lin Wan's affirmative answer, Xu Qingsui felt a little relieved.
She looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late. I'm leaving first."
