Chapter 323 Understanding
“Why don’t you stay here tonight?” Lin Wan tried to persuade him.
"I have to go back and prepare some things that I'll need tomorrow morning. I'm leaving first." After Xu Qingsui said this, he said goodbye to Lin Wan and Xu Di.
Lin Wan chased after him: "I'll take you there."
Xu Qingsui refused directly: "No need, I have already called a car and it will be here soon."
She didn't want to give a direct answer, but she had more important things to do, so she refused Lin Wan's offer to see her off.
As soon as the two finished talking, an online car-hailing vehicle stopped in front of them.
Xu Qingsui checked the license plate number, then opened the door and got in the car, waving to Lin Wan: "Go back, I'll text you when I get there."
She then told the driver the tail number of her car and the car drove to its destination.
After sitting for forty or fifty minutes, they finally arrived at their destination. Xu Qingsui got off the car and looked at the luxurious gate of the residential complex in front of her. She took out her cell phone and dialed the number Lu Jingyu provided her.
Soon, a soft voice came from the other side: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Even after so many years, Xu Qingsui could still recognize that the voice was Ms. Zhou's.
She had an excellent memory. Even though the two had only met once, at a collection fair, and had argued a few words because of Old Madam Huo, when she heard it again now, it still sounded familiar to her.
"Hello, Ms. Zhou. I'm Xu Qingsui. I'm downstairs from your house now. Is it convenient for us to meet?"
There was silence for a while, and then the other party replied: "Wait a moment, I'll find you this afternoon."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Afraid that Lin Wan was thinking about her, after hanging up the phone, she sent a message to Lin Wan: I'm here, you and your brother should go to bed early.
Lin Wan replied with a "OK" immediately.
While waiting, Xu Qingsui felt very anxious. She didn't know how to talk about those topics later, whether to go straight to the point or to beat around the bush.
Will Ms. Zhou tell the truth? She was also an accomplice, or even the mastermind. After knowing the truth, what should she do next?
Call the police? Will Huo Xilin be involved?
Xu Qingsui was in a state of confusion, with countless thoughts in her mind. At this moment, she had to admit that she was still concerned about Huo Xilin.
She couldn't bear to hurt him for the sake of justice and revenge for her parents.
Just when she was hesitating and didn't know what to do, someone called her name: "Ms. Xu, long time no see."
Xu Qingsui raised her head and saw a charming woman walking towards her. She recognized her at first glance. She was Ms. Zhou.
She hasn't changed much from a few years ago, wearing a pure white windbreaker. Even though she is older, she is still as cute and lovely as a little bird, the type that most men would be attracted to.
"Hello, Ms. Zhou." Xu Qingsui greeted her politely.
While Xu Qingsui was observing her, Ms. Zhou was also looking her up and down.
"Ms. Xu is more beautiful than before. No wonder Mr. Huo is so devoted to you. You are so lucky."
From her words, Xu Qingsui heard a message, that is, she had a certain understanding of himself or the Huo family's affairs.
I have no grudges against her, which only means that she is always paying attention to the situation of the Huo family.
"There is a cafe nearby with a nice environment and separate cubicles. Would you like to sit there for a while?" Ms. Zhou asked.
Xu Qingsui nodded: "Okay."
The two walked into the coffee shop and chose a quiet booth. Soon the waiter brought two cups of coffee. Ms. Zhou took a sip and said, "I expected you to come to see me. I just didn't expect you to come so soon."
"Do you know Lu Jingyu?" Xu Qingsui asked straight to the point without beating around the bush.
Ms. Zhou nodded: "Seriously speaking, I am quite familiar with his grandfather, and I was able to be with Huo Xilin's father thanks to Mr. Lu acting as a matchmaker."
Xu Qingsui was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time. She didn't even know the reason behind this.
"What? You were adopted by the Lu family since you were a child. Didn't Mr. Lu tell you these things?" Ms. Zhou asked in surprise.
Xu Qingsui did not answer her question directly, but stated the purpose of his visit: "Since you already know the relationship between me and the Lu family, you must also know what the Lu family is going through now. I just want to know the truth about my parents' car accident."
"I understand." Ms. Zhou nodded. "Since I dare to come to see you, it proves that I have a clear conscience about this matter, so please rest assured that what I said is true. As for whether you believe it or not, that is your own business."
Ms. Zhou paused and looked up at Xu Qingsui's reaction.
Then he continued, "Back then, the Lu family coveted your Xu family's collection and wanted to take it for themselves. However, due to the Xu family's status in the industry at that time, the Lu family could not shake it at all. He had to find a backer. Looking across the country, there are only two families that have such strength to deal with your Xu family. One is the Qin family in the north, and the other is the Huo family."
"He first contacted the Qin family, but Mr. Qin was a smart man and didn't want to get into trouble, so he refused. Then he approached the Huo family, but he was also turned away."
"At that time, I was still a little secretary beside him. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with Huo Xilin's father at first sight. Mr. Lu seized the opportunity and introduced me to Mr. Huo on the condition that I could obtain cooperation with the Huo family."
"Under my influence, the two quickly reached a consensus and planned a car accident to first kill your parents and then annex the Xu family."
"I know about this matter, but I was not involved in it. You can also check it out. Since I dare to speak out, I am not afraid of what happened back then being known to the world."
Seeing Ms. Zhou's confident look, Xu Qingsui had to temporarily believe what she said.
However, there were many doubts. She asked, "What about Huo Xilin? Aren't you afraid that he will die after causing this car accident?"
"So he died?" Ms. Zhou smiled slightly. "He helped a lot in this car accident. Otherwise, it might not have been successful."
"What do you mean?" Xu Qingsui's face changed drastically, and he asked in disbelief: "He was just a child at that time. What good would it do him?"
"Yes, it is precisely because he is just a child who has lived in the quarrels of his parents since he was a child that he particularly longs for a warm and happy home. Mr. Huo coaxed him and said that as long as he was obedient, he would return to his mother and the family would live a good life from then on. He believed it."
"Ms. Xu should have some memory of this moment. After all, you two were childhood sweethearts." Ms. Zhou said this with a meaningful tone.
Xu Qingsui frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, but he still suppressed his anger and did not lose it.
