Chapter 51 Bullying
Huo Xilin shook his head: "Nothing, I'm just curious about your childhood. Although I have investigated you, I still want to hear it from you in person."
Xu Qingsui nodded thoughtfully and began to recall her childhood. She remembered it very clearly. When she was a child, her neighbor on the left was Qin Fang, her neighbor on the right was the restaurant owner, and her neighbor behind her was...
Yes, who is the neighbor behind?
Xu Qingsui couldn't remember. It seemed that no one lived in the back. Anyway, she had no impression of the neighbors in the back.
So Xu Qingsui told Huo Xilin what happened between him and Qin Fang.
As he spoke, Huo Xilin's face darkened again: "Okay, you don't have to say anything. I don't want to hear about you and him."
Xu Qingsui shut up silently, feeling a little aggrieved. He thought Huo Xilin was really weird tonight. It was obvious that he said it because he wanted to hear her, but he seemed unhappy after she said it.
Sure enough, the boss's mind is hard to understand.
After a while, Huo Xilin asked coldly: "Have you ever liked him?"
Xu Qingsui looked up in surprise and asked in confusion, "Who?"
"Qin Fang!" The two words could be said to be squeezed out from between Huo Xilin's teeth.
Xu Qingsui was shocked. She had never seen Huo Xilin like this before.
Having seen Huo Xilin's private side over and over again, she herself didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
She seemed to be getting to know him all over again. It was a brand new experience.
Seeing that Xu Qingsui seemed to be thinking about something, Huo Xilin said unhappily: "Answer seriously and don't lie."
He mistakenly thought that she was putting together nice words to appease him.
After thinking about it seriously, Xu Qingsui shook his head and said, "I have never liked him. Qin Fang is like a friend to me, a childhood playmate. He treats me like a brother taking care of his sister. It has nothing to do with love."
After hearing what Xu Qingsui said, Huo Xilin's expression finally looked better.
At this time, the waiter pushed the dining cart in front of the two people and placed the steak and red wine in front of them. "Sir, Madam, please enjoy your meal slowly."
Huo Xilin took the steak in front of Xu Qingsui, carefully cut it into cubes with a knife, and then put it back in front of her: "Try it and see if it suits your taste."
The steak had a black pepper flavor and was cooked medium rare, not as delicious as well-done, but not as bloody as medium or medium.
Xu Qingsui picked up a piece with a fork and put it into his mouth. The aroma of black pepper and the unique meaty taste of beef mixed together and instantly filled his entire mouth. The meat was smooth and juicy with a light bite.
Xu Qingsui narrowed his eyes and nodded happily: "It's delicious."
It had been a long time since she had enjoyed delicious food like she did now.
When she was a child, Xu Qingsui was actually a foodie. She liked delicious food very much and enjoyed delicious food. However, later on, she experienced the misfortunes of the Xu family. She had to sleep in the open air for many years, and she would eat anything as long as she could fill her stomach. Gradually, she became less picky about food and no longer pursued delicious food.
Seeing Xu Qingsui's happy look, Huo Xilin also became happy: "As long as you like it, we will stay here for two weeks. There are many delicious foods here. I will take you to taste them all."
Xu Qingsui was moved again, and her heart felt a little sour.
She really wanted to ask Huo Xilin if he could stop being so nice to her, as she was afraid that she would get used to it one day.
It’s not scary at all to fall in love with someone. What’s scary is getting used to life with that person. What’s scary is that one day you will fall in love with that person.
But she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. In the end, she still didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
She was like a person who was abandoned in the snow and had been freezing for a very long time. When she finally got warmth, she held on to it tightly and was unwilling to let go, even though one day she would be thrown back into the snow and her fate would be to freeze to death.
"Okay." Xu Qingsui tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart and put on a smile.
"Eat quickly." Huo Xilin put half of his cut beef into Xu Qingsui's bowl and said, "I have an investment to discuss tomorrow. If you learn from me, you can be independent in the future."
Xu Qingsui nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you."
The next day, when Xu Qingsui woke up, it was already very late. Huo Xilin was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book.
"Mr. Huo, aren't we going to discuss investment today? Why didn't you call me?" Xu Qingsui hurriedly wanted to get up.
Huo Xilin pushed her back into the quilt and said, "Don't worry. It won't be too late to go after you wake up."
"When is the agreed time?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"We are Party A. We can go whenever we want." Huo Xilin said arrogantly.
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She remembered that when Party A cooperated with Huo's Group before, Huo Xilin did not have this attitude. If Party A dared to be late when negotiating the contract, Huo Xilin would dare not cooperate with the other party, even if the other party was Party A.
As if seeing through the doubts in Xu Qingsui's eyes, Huo Xilin put down the book in his hand and said calmly: "This world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak. Only the strong enough party has the right to make the rules."
Xu Qingsui shrank his neck, feeling guilty for being singled out.
The relationship between her and Huo Xilin is also the relationship between the weak and the strong.
Seeing Xu Qingsui curled up in the quilt with only a pair of big watery eyes looking at him from outside, Huo Xilin couldn't help but want to bully her.
Huo Xilin lifted the quilt and said, "Actually, I think it's still early, so it doesn't hurt to let them wait a little longer."
"Huo Xilin!"
He chuckled, he was bolder now and dared to call him by his name, which was good, he would not have any burden when bullying him.
His hands dug deep into the quilt, and with the sound of clothes being torn, after a scream, only the blushing gasps filled the room.
…
Xu Qingsui was wearing a thick scarf, even his mouth was covered tightly, and he sat in the passenger seat with a look of resentment in his eyes.
Huo Xilin was driving the car prepared for him by the hotel, feeling very good.
The investment this time is in a vineyard. Country F is a famous red wine producer, with estates of all sizes scattered all over the country. Even the streets and villages seem to be filled with the scent of grapes.
"How much do you know about red wine?" Huo Xilin asked Xu Qingsui while driving.
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "I don't know much about red wine."
"What do you think of the taste of the bottle of wine we drank yesterday?" Huo Xilin asked again.
Xu Qingsui recalled that yesterday's wine was a little sweet, a little sour, a little bitter, and had a strong aroma, but overall she liked the taste very much.
