Chapter 393 Rejection
The criminal verdict on Lu Jingyu will be announced at the end of the month.
As the victim and plaintiff, Xu Qingsui needed to appear in court on that day.
Does she need a lawyer?
As the trial date drew closer, Xu Qingsui couldn't help but start thinking about these things.
Of course, Huo Xilin saw all her thoughts.
Ever since the two reconciled, Huo Xilin would pick her up from get off work every day. Xu Qingsui would sometimes work overtime until very late, and Huo Xilin would always wait for her without any complaints.
He had no regrets and was willing to give everything for her, but Xu Qingsui felt sorry for him.
With the arrival of winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower. Huo Xilin comes to pick her up every day, sometimes waiting in the car for several hours.
That night, she got off work at nearly eleven o'clock again. After getting in the car, she said to Huo Xilin, "I'll go to and from get off work by myself from now on. You've worked hard all day, and it's not easy to get home, so go to bed early."
"You are alone, working overtime and late every day. Do you think I can really rest assured?" Huo Xilin said, "It's not hard for me, and I can rest in the car while waiting for you."
Seeing Huo Xilin's insistence, Xu Qingsui said, "Lu Jingyu has been detained, and no suspicious people have followed me recently. I think I should be safe, as long as..."
As long as Yan Xisui doesn't cause trouble, and she has no other enemies except Lu Jingyu and Yan Xisui, what does he have to worry about?
Xu Qingsui wanted to express his thoughts, but was afraid of bringing up memories between Huo Xilin and Yan Xisui, so he had no choice but to keep silent.
"Anyway, we are now living in a society ruled by law. Lu Jingyu's case will also deter those who are ready to make a move. As long as they are smart, they will know what to do and what not to do. There shouldn't be any more extremists like Lu Jingyu, so don't worry about my safety. I can go to and from get off work alone, and it's fine."
"I'm not worried about someone doing something to you, I'm just worried about you being alone." Huo Xilin smiled and said to Xu Qingsui, "Okay, there's no room for negotiation on picking you up from get off work."
Xu Qingsui wanted to say something, but Huo Xilin didn't give her a chance and immediately changed the subject, saying, "I have already notified the legal team at headquarters and will appear in court with you as your attorney on the day of the court appearance."
Huo Xilin always helped her arrange things clearly. Sometimes when she was still thinking about how to solve a problem, he had already solved it.
She did not reject his kindness. She was very clear about the strength of the legal team at the Huo Group headquarters. Lawyers found outside would not be better than those sent by the headquarters.
What's more, Lu Jingyu's matter cannot be taken lightly. This time, he must not be released again, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Lu Jingyu is a man of few brains, but he has a strong desire for revenge, just like Old Man Lu, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, either he will be locked up for life, or wait for the day he is released from prison, thus putting all the members of the Xu family in danger.
"Is it the lawyer who helped me fight the Lu family lawsuit last time?" Xu Qingsui asked, "I still have his contact information. If it is, I will contact him soon."
"Okay, let him be your agent then. You've dealt with each other before, so it will be easier for you to talk to each other."
"Well, thank you." Xu Qingsui said gratefully.
Huo Xilin was speechless. No matter how many times he told her that there was no need to be polite between husband and wife, she would never remember and he was always helpless in doing anything to her.
Suddenly, Huo Xilin had an idea. He must change her habit of always being polite to him.
"I've done you such a big favor, and you're just saying thank you verbally?" He leaned slightly in front of her and suddenly said.
Xu Qingsui was startled. Looking at Huo Xi's face approaching, she asked nervously, "No...what else? How do you want me to thank you?"
After spending a long time with Huo Xilin, Xu Qingsui actually has some understanding of him.
This man would not miss any opportunity to "take advantage" of her.
As expected, Huo Xilin touched his lips with his fingers and said, "Just give me a kiss as a thank you."
"You..." Xu Qingsui looked around subconsciously. The parking lot was quiet and empty, with only their car's lights on.
Huo Xilin held her face with both hands: "No one is here, you don't have to be shy."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
"Can I refuse?" she asked weakly.
"You said you wanted to thank me, are you going to go back on your word?" Huo Xilin pretended to be disappointed and said, "Then I will think that you despise me, and I will be very sad."
Xu Qingsui quickly became soft-hearted, especially towards Huo Xilin. She couldn't stand it every time he spoke to her in a weak tone.
Without thinking, she quickly kissed him on the lips. Just as she was about to leave, he immediately reached out and grabbed the back of her head, then deepened the kiss.
It was not until she felt that she was about to suffocate that he finally showed mercy and let her go, chuckling and saying, "Silly girl, you should breathe through your nose when kissing. I've told you so many times, why can't you remember?"
Every time she kissed, her heart would beat faster and she would be very nervous, so she would forget all the techniques.
Looking at Xu Qingsui's blushing cheeks, Huo Xilin couldn't help but rub them gently with his fingers. Her face was smooth and tender, as smooth and elastic as a baby's skin, making Huo Xilin unable to let it go.
"Many people who have cosmetic surgery don't have skin as good as yours." He sighed, "How can your skin be so good?"
Xu Qingsui originally thought Huo Xilin was praising her, but when she looked into his smiling eyes and saw the ill intentions in them, she felt ashamed and annoyed. She slapped his hand and scolded him, "You bastard!"
In an instant, Huo Xilin's deep laughter filled the entire car.
"I'm going to ignore you." Xu Qingsui knew that this man had bad intentions.
He was saying that she had good skin, but in fact his mind was full of yellow garbage.
I used to think he was unfathomable and always kept people at a distance, but after spending more time with him, I realized how shameless he was.
"Okay, okay, I'm an asshole." Seeing that Xu Qingsui was really going to get angry, Huo Xilin quickly put away his smile: "Stop making trouble, let's go home."
After saying that, he habitually helped her fasten her seat belt, drove with one hand and held her hand with the other, giving her warmth in this cold winter.
With the help of the light outside the car window, Xu Qingsui turned her head to look at Huo Xilin's profile. As long as he was by her side, she would always feel at ease.
Sometimes she has to admit that most of her sense of security comes from Huo Xilin.
