Chapter 409: No Control
I don't know if they have finished their discussion. I got off work early today and it's early, so I don't know if it will disturb them if I call them now.
Xu Qingsui thought about it and decided to send Huo Xilin a text message, telling him that if he was busy, he didn't need to come, and she would take a taxi home.
Just after the text message was sent, Huo Xilin called.
Xu Qingsui clicked the answer button, and his deep and pleasant voice came from the other end: "Are you off work?"
Huo Xilin's voice is one of those bass-cannon ones that are popular on the Internet, especially when he speaks in a gentle tone, it is so beautiful that it can make people's ears pregnant.
Xu Qingsui naturally couldn't resist, and his mood couldn't help but soar. The hard work of the day was relieved the moment he heard his voice.
"Well, we have to get off work early today. Have you finished discussing the matter with Brother Qin?"
"Now that we're done talking, find a place to rest for a while. I'll be there to pick you up soon." Huo Xilin said as he winked at Qin Fang opposite him, then stood up and left.
Looking at Huo Xilin's departing back, Qin Fang calmly took a sip of tea. A person's state of mind changes overnight. From then on, he no longer had any jealousy or envy towards Huo Xilin, only heartfelt blessings.
Because he also has someone he wants to protect for the rest of his life, promise is not just a temporary surge of hormones, but also a kind of responsibility and commitment, which runs through a person's character throughout his life.
Putting down the teacup, Qin Fang leisurely took out his cell phone and called Li Yuexue: "Are you off work? I've made a reservation at a restaurant and will pick you up to eat together later."
After Xu Qingsui said goodbye to Tang Cheng, he had nothing to do while waiting for Huo Xilin, so he went to the museum's lobby to look at the antiques on display.
The museum makes profits by selling tickets, so it closes at 9 p.m., and there are still more than two hours before closing time.
Due to the season, there are not many tourists at this time. In the exhibition hall, apart from the staff, there is almost no one else. It is very quiet.
Xu Qingsui looked at the items on display carefully, and was impressed by the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. Even after thousands of years, the items were still bright in color and exquisite in appearance.
An outsider cannot tell, but Xu Qingsui can, that most of the items here have been restored later, and they are the result of the hard work of the predecessors.
Among them, there were several items that Xu Qingsui was very familiar with, and she could recognize at a glance that the restoration techniques were the work of her grandfather.
Her fingers were gently placed on the glass, and her eyes became moist. Her feelings for her grandparents were even deeper than for her parents.
Xu Qingsui's parents are archaeologists, so they are not at home all year round and can only spend a few days with her and her brother Xu in a year, so she and her brother Xu were raised by their grandparents.
Grandpa and grandma, I miss you.
Xu Qingsui whispered these words in his heart.
"Xu Qingsui, how are you?" The sudden voice brought Xu Qingsui back to his senses.
She turned her head and saw Yan Xisui standing beside her, holding her son Yan Linzhou's hand. She was a little dazed for a moment.
Her appearance had not changed much from the last time they met, except that her eyes made people afraid to look directly at her. There was malice and hatred in her eyes as she looked at Xu Qingsui.
If looks could kill, Xu Qingsui would have been riddled with wounds by now.
She was wearing the most ordinary clothes and had a pretty face, but she no longer had the wealth she once had.
"Why, are you surprised to see the miserable state of me and my child now?" Seeing that Xu Qingsui didn't speak for a long time, Yan Xisui asked in a sarcastic tone.
She frowned slightly and didn't want to pay attention to her, so she didn't say a word and planned to leave.
But Yan Xisui obviously didn't give her a chance to leave, and stood in front of her: "Ms. Xu, it took me a lot of effort to find out that you were here, and I waited for several days before I met you. Do you think I will let you go so easily?"
"What do you want?" Xu Qingsui asked calmly.
Her nonchalant look instantly angered Yan Xisui: "Xu Qingsui, what qualifications do you have to look down on me? Don't forget, it was you who took away everything that belonged to me!"
"Ladies, this is a museum, please keep quiet!" Yan Xisui's cursing attracted the staff, who kindly reminded the two.
"Sorry." Xu Qingsui said to the staff.
In order not to affect the order, Xu Qingsui could only compromise and said to Yan Xisui: "Let's go out and talk."
After saying that, she walked towards the gate, and this time, Yan Xisui did not stop her.
Arriving at the side of the road, Xu Qingsui got straight to the point and asked Yan Xisui directly: "What do you want?"
"Leave Huo Xilin to me and the child." Yan Xisui said.
Xu Qingsui was a little shocked, then said: "I'm sorry, this matter is not up to me. People can only be their own masters, not others. Who Huo Xilin wants to be with is his own business. I can't influence it, and neither can you."
Yan Xisui snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Xu Qingsui, you are a mistress, why do you have to pretend to be so noble? If you hadn't seduced Huo Xilin while I was abroad, we would have been husband and wife now, and we have a lovely son. It's you who ruined our happy family!"
As soon as Yan Xisui finished speaking, Yan Linzhou pointed at Xu Qingsui and cursed: "Bad woman, you stole my father, give me back my father!"
As he spoke, he rushed up and beat Xu Qingsui hard, crying and cursing as he beat him.
Soon they attracted many passers-by, who took out their mobile phones to take pictures of them.
Xu Qingsui was about to stop them, but Yan Xisui got there first and cried to the crowd, "Everyone, come and judge for me. It was this woman who stole my husband and left my son without a father. My husband didn't even acknowledge his son to please her and forced the child to call her uncle..."
Yan Xisui was crying with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful. Compared with Xu Qingsui's expressionless face, she really looked like a victim.
Instantly, Xu Qingsui's ears were filled with condemnation: "How shameless! She is so beautiful, but she is actually a mistress."
"You don't understand this, right? It's because she's pretty that she wants to be a mistress. She uses her beauty as a way to get ahead!"
"How shameless! We'll take a picture of her and post it online to make her a social wretch!"
"Yes, yes, let her die. This kind of woman is not worthy of being a human being."
"That man is not a good guy at all. For a cheap woman, he gave up such a gentle and beautiful wife, and even refused to acknowledge his own son!"
