Chapter 365 Abandonment
From the moment he saw Lu Jingyu appear, he seemed to understand why Xu Qingsui's attitude towards him suddenly changed.
Although he couldn't hear clearly what the two were talking about, he could guess with his eyes closed that it was definitely not a good thing for Lu Jingyu to look for Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui sent Grandpa Lu to prison, where he eventually died of a stroke. Without Grandpa Lu, the Lu family was like a family without a backbone, leaving only Lu Jingyu, a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. In the eyes of those around him, he was like a walking piece of fat meat. Everyone wanted to divide up the entire Lu family, not to mention that there was Gu Rong, who was eyeing him covetously and trying hard to stay by his side.
After Mr. Lu was imprisoned, Lu Jingyu was soon framed by a conspiracy. Not only did he lose all his family property, he was also forced to sell his shares in the Lu Group and was eventually kicked out of the Lu family. From then on, he lived on the streets. He has been hiding from place to place for these years, like a rat in a dark hole, unable to see the light. You can imagine the suffering he has endured.
He hated Xu Qingsui to death. He was able to find her and not take revenge on her, which might mean there was a bigger conspiracy.
Xu Qingsui suddenly proposed to divorce her and set a two-year deadline, which must be related to the appearance of Lu Jingyu.
The car was unusually quiet except for the sound of the engine and the honking of traffic horns on the road.
Xu Qingsui looked at Huo Xilin's handsome face on the display screen. He looked like he was worried about something, and suddenly he almost rear-ended a car in front of him.
"Be careful!" Fortunately, she reminded him quickly and he subconsciously stepped on the brakes, thus avoiding a car accident.
Xu Qingsui was still in shock, perhaps it was related to the trauma left by the car accident when she was a child. Although she could not remember the details of the accident, the fear engraved in her bones made her extremely nervous every time she saw the scene of cars about to collide.
Seeing Xu Qingsui's face turn pale with fear, Huo Xilin felt distressed and blamed himself, and asked quickly, "Are you okay?"
Xu Qingsui shook his head and said kindly, "I'm fine. It's evening now and there's a lot of traffic. If you can't concentrate on driving, I'll do it."
"Sorry, I was thinking about work and got distracted for a moment. Don't worry, I'll focus on driving from now on."
After the two finished talking, the red light at the intersection turned green, and cars started to move one after another. Huo Xilin followed and headed towards home.
"Have you had dinner?" Huo Xilin asked Xu Qingsui when he entered the house. "My son has already eaten and is studying in his room with Aunt Wang. If you haven't had dinner, I'll go heat up the food I left for you."
Xu Qingsui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Huo Xilin to consider things so carefully. Because the child was young, he was afraid that the child would be hungry, so he let the child and Aunt Wang eat first. But considering that she might not have had dinner, he also left a special portion for her.
But come to think of it, he has always been extra careful when dealing with her.
There was no need for Xu Qingsui to answer. Just by looking at her expression, Huo Xilin knew that she had not finished her meal.
So without waiting for her to speak, he walked towards the kitchen and said, "That's great. I haven't eaten either. Let's eat together later. My son is in the room. Go and keep him company. I'll call you when the food is ready."
After saying this, the man disappeared into the kitchen.
Xu Qingsui stood in the hall, looking at the swaying figure inside the kitchen glass door, his eyes moist.
She never learns her lessons. No matter what Huo Xilin does to make her sad, she will always feel warm-hearted the next time he treats her well.
When dealing with someone you like, you will pay special attention to every word he says and every thing he does.
Xu Qingsui sighed. She had always wanted to let him go, but it seemed like she would never be able to do it in this lifetime. Perhaps one day when they no longer met or lived together, she would feel better.
But she clearly remembered that during the three years when they didn't see each other, her longing for him became stronger with the passage of time, just like the wine fermenting in the wine cellar, the longer it fermented, the mellower it became.
Xu Qingsui put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and didn't want to think about what happened between him and Huo Xilin anymore. He adjusted his mood and pushed open his son's door.
Aunt Wang saw Xu Qingsui coming back and stood up: "Mrs. Huo is back, the young master is practicing calligraphy."
"Aunt Wang, you have worked hard. Let me accompany him. You should go to bed early." Xu Qingsui said to Aunt Wang with a smile.
Aunt Wang was a small household name, so Xu Qingsui never considered her an outsider.
Aunt Wang also does her best in everything she does, especially when it comes to taking care of Xu Youyou. She treats her even better than her own grandson. You can imagine the effort she puts in, so Xu Qingsui is very grateful to her.
"Okay." After hearing what Xu Qingsui said, Aunt Wang tactfully left Xu Youyou's room.
She knew that Xu Qingsui had been on a business trip for a while and wanted to spend time with her children when she finally returned home, so she left the room to the mother and son.
"Mommy!" As soon as Aunt Wang left, Xu Youyou immediately wrapped herself around Xu Qingsui like an octopus.
Xu Qingsui picked him up with great effort. Xu Youyou was in the growing period at that time, and her weight was increasing day by day. She felt that if she waited another year or two, she would not be able to hold the child.
It was better when it was a child, sweet, soft and small. She could hold it in her arms all day long with just two hands.
"Have you been listening to Aunt Wang and Dad recently?" Xu Qingsui asked the little guy.
Xu Youyou nodded heavily: "Mommy, I'm obedient. If you don't believe me, ask Dad!"
As if he had thought of something, he struggled to get out of Xu Qingsui's arms.
Xu Qingsui asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
Xu Youyou felt a little embarrassed. She looked at the closed door and said, "Dad said that I am already a little adult and can no longer let Mommy hold me like I did when I was a child. If this gets out, my classmates will laugh at me."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
Xu Youyou will be four years old after the Chinese New Year, and it is indeed time for him to learn to be independent. There is nothing wrong with Huo Xilin educating him in this way.
Xu Qingsui gently patted the little guy's head and said lovingly: "But in Mommy's heart, no matter how old you are, you will always be Mommy's baby!"
The little guy's depressed expression just now suddenly became sunny and bright: "Mommy, I will grow up well. Now you protect me, and when I grow up, I will protect you!"
Xu Qingsui felt warm at heart after hearing this. Although the little guy was sometimes naughty and gave her a headache, most of the time he was so well-behaved that made her feel distressed.
"Mommy doesn't need you to protect me. Mommy just wants you to be happy and live a healthy life. It's enough for you to have the ability to protect yourself!"
